WMS Pajama Party Take 2!

Morning (again!). I'm back with a card for the Bedtime Story sketch and the Art Deco challenge over at WMS Pajama Party!

 Here's the sketch:

And here's my Art Deco take on it:

I have used Wisteria Wonder ink and card, and stamped the background using the two little diamond designs from Art Deco Backgrounds.

The profile of the elegant lady is from Putting on the Ritz, as is the sentiment.

I finished off with some black striped ribbon, and some pearls.

WMS October Pajama Party

Happy Saturday all! I'm here today with a few cards for this month's Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama Party.

If you are new to WMS, hop over to the blog at Waltzingmouse Makes, and check out the challenges!

Fist off I have made a couple of cards for the Greenish Halloweenish challenge.

For my first card I have used a pumpkin die from Serendipity Stamps layered onto a square spellbinders die cut.

I added a little Opera Tag with a sentiment from Cicely at Halloween, and added a greeting inside using the same set.

Next up I made a CAS card, nice and flat for posting!

This time I used images from Halloween Party and Midnight Feast. I stamped the images in Lucky Limeade and Tuxedo Black, and added a few green gems to the cauldron bubbles.

Well, there are my Halloween entries, now I've got another post to make for anther of the WMS challenges!

I would like to enter the Pumpkin die card and the Happy Halloween cards into this week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge, which is to use Pumpkins, and to Card Crafter's Circle, which has the theme Pumpkin Patch, and to CASology Challenge with the cue word Pumpkin!

Thanks for stopping by,

Serendipity Stamps Owl Blog Hop!

Morning bloggers!   Today I am taking part in a Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop, and have a card featuring a new little addition to the Serendipity Stamps catalogue - a gorgeous owl die cut!

He cuts like an absolute dream, and I have used fairly thick card with him today, covered in gold glitter. Every little piece popped out without any problem.

I teamed him with some patterned paper from My Mind's Eye, layered with some cream crochet lace and faux silk green ribbon.

I added a little bow topped with a twine bow and gold sparklet.

Finally I added some copper pearly eyes, and a sentiment also from Serendipity Stamps.

Here is the order of the blog hop -

TRR #64 - Eerie Elegance

Hi all, I have a card today for the new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog. This fortnight, Jeanne is our host with this fabulous inspiration picture:

So, using the colours in the picture, we would like to see you use some ribbon with an 'Eeerie elegance' theme!

I have used a sweet image by Waltzingmouse Stamps for my card, Cicely at Halloween, coloured with Promarkers.

I cut her out using Spellbinders, and layered onto a frame also cut using Spellbinders. Between the image and the frame I layered some Black Jute Mesh. from The Ribbon Reel shop.

On the card base I stamped some bats and Halloween lanterns also from WMS, using the Gracie At Halloween set.

I added a Lilac silk bow, wrapped with Purple Button Twine, also from TRR shop, then topped with a sparkly button from stash.

I would like to enter this into this week's Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge, which has a Halloween theme.

Thanks for stopping by,

Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge #2

Hi all, another post from me today!  Please scroll down to see my card for this week's challenge for The Ribbon Reel.

I almost ran out of time to make this for the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge I've been sooo busy! Anyway, I took a little stampy time out this evening before I go back to work (our store is having a re-fit, and they need staff to go in for an hour to move stuff etc.)

Look at this fab colour combo:

Well, these colours just shout Christmas to me! So I made a Christmas card.

I did a bit of random stamping with the WMS Big Blooms -Poinsettias set in Stampin' Up! Cherry cobbler and Raspberry Ripple, and Memento Pistachio and Pine Cone inks.

I then made a kraft card base, and a Raspberry Ripple base, and punched the edge with a Fiskars punch. The sentiment is also from WMS Compliments of the Season II set - stamped in Espresso Truffle but I didn't think it was bold enough so I added some glamour dust to it. Not sure if I like this or not yet! Finally I added some red striped ribbon.

I've kept this purposefully flat for posting, our rates have gone up so much recently, I'm going to have to try to keep it a bit more CAS this year!

Well that's it from me today, thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

TRR #63

Hi all, it's time for a new challenge from The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog. This week, Debbie is our hostess, and has chosen this Autumnal picture, with a theme of using Flowers, Ribbon and sheet music in your designs.

I have made a card using some Musical note ribbon, and Orange Spot ribbon wrapped around a kraft card base embossed with a wood-grain folder.

The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps, and the Orange Cherry Blossoms, Off-White Gardenia and leafy stick pins are from The Ribbon Reel shop.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog, hope you feel inspired to play along!
