365 Cards - #193 - Card Recipe & Paper Blooms - B.L.I.N.G.

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was a card recipe and our card had to be a 5x5 card with 4 x designer papers, 3 x blossoms, 5 rhinestones, 1 x stamp or digi image and 1 x sentiment of our choice. I completed the challenge but then realised that I had used a different paper for the side panel down the right side of my card. I was talking to my daughter at the time of making this card and she had just gotten her first job. Yes I know she is nearly 21 yrs old but she has mental health issues which have always held her back. Bipolar disorder and an anxiety disorder can be quite challenging to deal with when you are young. But she managed to turn herself around and get this job and she is moving out with her partner in the next two weeks so I am so so proud of her for these big achievements. I am going to miss my little grandaughter but I will get to babysit her when Ash goes to work yay!!!!. Okay so I digress a bit. . . anyway I was talking to Ash and I picked up another designer paper from the DCWV paper stack and did not even realise that it was different until I had completed my card lol, so I am living on the edge with Gloria and Rose today for this challenge lol. This card also fits the Paper Blooms challenge this fortnight which is all about having B.L.I.N.G. on our card and my card certainly has that.

So here is my card for today. I hope you enjoy it.

In the meantime. . . .

365 Cards - #186 - Ad Inspired

Today's challenge over at 365 Cards is ad inspired and Kristie has chosen the pic below to inspire us today. I am not quite sure if it is silver on the shoes because I cannot get a close enough look but I went with the silver, white, black and red and used the colours to inspire me.

This is my take on the challenge today using my brand new stamp set from SU that my bestie Sonya bought for me lol thanks so much Sonya I very much appreciate it and could not wait to ink it up.
I used silver pigment ink with my random butterfly stamp by PSX on the black base card and then I used the SU Weathered background stamp on my black background for the main butterfly. I know it looks busy but I really like the way it has turned out. Tell me what you think please?

365 Cards - #172 - ABC's & 123's

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was to create a card using alphabet stickers and at least one number. Don't have alphabet stickers? Then if you have a stamp set with individual letters and numbers then that would qualify as well. I did not have number stickers only alphabet stickers so I had to use a stamp set for the number 4. I'm not really fussed on my card today but you get that sometimes.

Okay since it is past midnight I am off to bed.

365 Cards - #170 - Double Duty & #171 - Tuesday's Trio

I am playing catch up over at 365 Cards so for day 170 it was Double Duty which meant that you had to make a card that could double up as something else like a bookmark, place card or pocket card but could not be a gift card or money card. So I chose to do a Post It Note Organiser. It looks like a card from the outside and inside it has two different sized post it note pads, a pen and a pocket on the left hand side. The pen has been matched using the same SU Designer paper as the pocket and the background on the front of the card.

This is the inside of the card/organiser.

On day 171 it was Tuesday's Trios and we had to incorporate a triangle, buttons and a sticker.

So you can see that I made my whole card into a triangle, there are three buttons down on the lower right hand side of the card, and the sticker is above the friends sentiment. Challenge met! Okay for me there will be another day coming up soon as it usually comes into my blog at about 3.30p-4p because we are 15 hours ahead of you in the USA. So I will get going and see you all again later on.

In the meantime. . . .

365 Cards - #168 - Touch Of Toile

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was Toile!!! I almost kicked the bucket on the spot!! What in the world was Toile???? Had absolutely no clues whatsoever, nada, zilch, zero, the big nought!!! So after sleeping on it or should I say sulking on it I decided to do what any self respecting card maker would do and went and did an image search on google. What I came up with was the print you now see on my card. No fuss no embellishments other than ribbon, just TOILE!! I thought the image was busy enough and effective enough to stand on it's own. So from a sheer panic to the finished product. . . .nice!! Now Pam you have to stop giving this girl a heart attack. . .you know I am getting over the flu, nothing to hard or strenuous, just nice and easy not TOILE!!!!!! Just kidding.

Okay now that I have that off my chest because I have other nasties taking prime position there, lol I am going over to my daughters today to spend some quality time with the grandchildren and my daughter of course.

In the meantime. . . .
