LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE

Well it's only Monday and my card for the Less is More challenge is made, wow. 

The card is an A6 Ivory Linen card and I've cut another piece of the same card and stamped one of the trees from SU's Hopeful Thoughts set using Marvy's Blending Blox Shades of Brown.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I then punched the edges with an EK Success punch, mounted the card onto some light brown paper and stuck to the base card and I was done. Simples!  Hope you like it.

Can I just say a great big thank you to everyone who has visited my blog and left comments, I really do appreciate it.  I think this is one of the real treasures of this challenge that everyone visits other people and leaves comments.  When it happens to me it makes my day.  Can I also say thank you to Mandi and Chrissie as without you there would have been no challenge!

LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE

Hi there

Finally, I've managed to make a card for the Less is More Challenge, well two actually, just in time I hear you say. 

I thought I would try out the punch on the pink card and ended up with a strip punched on one side and then thought (as you do) if I punch the other side I could make a card with it.  So here it is.

This is the card I originally had in mind which is a design I've used quite a bit as I think it is pretty and can be used for all sorts of occasions.  Hope you like them

New Cards

 Hi there
I've been a bit busy so no cards posted.  So I thought I'd show you some of the cards I've been making.  May is a busy month for family cards and I always make two of each that's needed, one for me and one for my daughter plus this always makes me get behind with my cards to sell. 

This is a digi image from Just Inklined which I have coloured with Copics

This Sympathy card is another digi which I have paper pieced.  The card just sort of evolved, I wanted to use my Martha Stewart PATP which is quite new and then I started playing around with my 6x6 papers just trying to use them really particularly the ones I hadn't used before then came across this digi flower which was a freebie on a sympathy set I found and thought it might look nice printed onto the patterned paper so as I said it sort of evolved but I quite like it.

I was asked to make a card for someone's husband for their 60th birthday who likes wine.  I didn't have any appropriate stamps and saw this on ebay and ordered it and then got cold feet waiting for it to arrive and did something else so this is the first card I have made using the stamp.  It is quite a dark  image when printed out but I was quite pleased with it when it was coloured in and I think it will probably become quite a staple for my 'for sale' box as I think it will do for a lot of men.

Well that's all for now.  I am in the middle of making a card for the Less is More challenge which I hope to upload tomorrow . 

Thanks very much for popping in and I hope you like what you see.

LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE

I've finally managed to make another card for this challenge I entered the second week I think and have been struggling ever since, everyone is so talented and all my thoughts and ideas got used up before I got there so to speak but today I'm there I think.  I haven't looked today just in case.

I've used a white linen card for the base card and plain white card for the embossing.  The large square is cut using a Martha Stewart punch and embossed with a daisy embossing folder and the two hearts are similarly embossed using cuttlebug folders having been cut with a heart die first which I think is a Nellie Snellen die but not sure.  I haven't put a sentiment on yet but will do so when it goes into my 'for sale' box probably as a wedding card.

Hope you like it, I'm quite pleased with it and with the photograph considering the problems I have using my husband's camera. 

Anniversary Card

This is an anniversary card I made a litle while ago but never blogged.  It sold the very first time I took it to the monthly coffee morning I attend and the person who bought it thought it was lovely.  Unfortunately the picture is not good as I have to scan my cards as I don't yet have a camera but maybe I can put one on my Christmas list although I am a little  nervouse about using an SLR camera as they seem so complicated any suggestions would be most welcome.

New Cards

I made this card some time ago but thought it was time I posted something to my blog and hope you like it.  My husband chose to send this one to a niece only this morning so he thinks it's OK. 

LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE

When I saw this week's challenge I knew straight away what I wanted to do.  Having made up the card I was not sure whether I liked the sentiment and it's taken me all week to decide to 'go for it' as they say.  I'm sure by the time I come to sell it at the end of March spring really will be here or at least much nearer than it is now.  Although we had a lovely day here yesterday, sunny and warm.

The card is a linen effect card and I stamped the digi image (from Digi Doodles) straight onto the card and coloured with Copics.  The sentiment is computer generated.

Thank you for stopping by to have a lool.
