DTC - SPARKLE

This weeks challenge at Digital Tuesday Challenge is sparkle, we want to see lots of sparkle on you projects with a digital element to them.

Here is my card using Cirque from The Paper Shelter, she is quite the sexy circus performer :) I used the
PRECOLOURED Version

 I added glimmer glam very liberally on my card, both on my papers and the image. The rosettes were cut using  Tim Holtz alteration die (available from Artfull Crafts, as is the glimmer glam).

Hope you will come and play along with us.

Some Fancy Folding............

I'm here today with a few cards to share that may impress your non-crafty friends as they look harder to make than what they are.
First up we have a Waterfall Card, you can find tutorial for this onsplitcoast stampers , but I found it REALLY hard to follow and suggest follow this easy to follow video on YouTube.......

Front view as it would arrive in the mailbox :)

The bottom being slowly pulled to create the "waterfall" of images...

Side view of images being pulled down.....

Cool huh???? And pretty simple to make once you get the score lines figured out.  I have used papers from MM Twinkle 8x8 paper pack,  I love the colours in this collection, bright but traditional.  I have also used"December 25" clear stamps by KaiserCraft  for my images.
Next up is a simple Gate fold card........

Front view closed

Half open so you can see the split.....

 I didn't get a photo of the inside which is all decorated as the batteries went flat in my camera.  I have used a precoloured image on this card which makes things even easier, it is called "Santa is coming" and is available from The Paper Shelter as both a line and precoloured image.  I have then added highlights with my faithfull  stickles, I don't think I can make a card without using these little lovelies.
I am entering this card in the following Challenges.......

Digi Doodles - Red & Green

Forever Friends - Christmas is coming

Heidi's Hobbies - Bling & Sparkle
Tiffany Doodles - Glitter & Sparkles
And last but certainly not least we have a kickstand card....

As it would arrive in the mail......

And standing on it's "stand"

I have used the MM Twinkle papers again for this one and added a die cut doily which was cut with THIS Cheery Lynn die.  I have used the December 25 clear stamps again along with some flowers in the corner blinged up a bit with stickles.  The precoloured image ( Santa's Cute Helper from THE PAPER SHELTER) has been cut out with a label die in my cuttlebug.
I am entering this card in the following challenges....

ASFOS - Birthday Card - and it was quick and easy :)

This Birthday card for our "Birthday Challenge" at A Spoonfull of Sugar was a nice easy one to make using precoloured "Cool Waitress" from The Paper Shelter and honeyscript from www.dafont.com . I had lots of fun making this in PSE9 but you could really make it in any good photo program. It is nice to have some flat birthday cards to send overseas that aren't going to cost me a fortune in postage to send. All I added as embellishments are some dewdrops in the cornersjust to break it up a little and the cardstock is Melon Mambo from Stampin Up.

Thanks loads for visiting and hope to see you linked up at ASFOS.......

Just For Fun with The Paper Shelter

I decided after my blog decided to have a hissy fit yesterday that I really needed to just chill and relax, so I made a card just for fun. YAY! I decided to use this cute precoloured image from The Paper Shelter called "kisses" it comes in line version as well when you purchase it so you can colour it yourself. I wanted this card to be quick and easy so I went with precoloured.
The papers are digi papers from The Paper Shelter and can be found HERE. Theflowers are from Wild Orchid and Deb's Creations and the buttons are from a scrapping kit I got a while ago from Lime Tart. The swirly corners were cut on my cricut using "Home Accents" cartridge, one was cut at 2.5" and the bigger at 4".

I am entering this card in the following challenges........

Paper Pretties - No Markers
Divas By Design - Summer is Here
