The Three Wise Men

It's our last challenge of the year at Cardz 4 Galz and to celebrate the season our theme is Christmas This is a card I've made for some friends (thanks for the picture Pam) in different colour ways  - I just love this sentiment by Woodware. A very simple card so great for batch making

Fashion Chic

Our theme this week at Cardz 4 Galz is Fashion Chic. I'm still clearing out my stash and came across these embellishments that I made at least 7 years old. They're peel offs put on acetate and then glued and glittered from the back.

A quick and easy card but I may have another go at this when my peel offs come to light!

I'm also entering this into the Sunsational Stamps challenge which is to use glitter. They're also offering a free digi to use so I'm going to try and find time to enter again

CArdz 4 Galz - Girly Bears

Our new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz is Girly Bears. I've used this layout from Sketch Saturday

 The bear and backing papers are from a Me To You Ultimate kit called Especially for you (the flower looks green in the picture but is actually turquoise)

Teenager at Cardz 4 Galz

Time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and this week we want your project to be suitable for a teenage girl. I was lucky enough to win a Hunkydory set called Tots To Teens so I've used one of the sheets from that for my card. The balloons are from a die that was free with a magazine earlier this year

Buttons & Bows at Cardz 4 Galz

Our theme this week at Cardz 4 Galz is Buttons & Bows so lots of scope there

I've used a Woodware stamp called Bubble Bloom Clarisssa. You may have realised that I love these stamps as there is so much you can do with them

We'd love to see what you come up with for this challenge

Pink and Pearly at Cardz 4 Galz

It's our third challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and this week our theme is Pink and Pearly

My card is based on one I made a few years ago at a show in Worthing. The card we made was black and white which never seems to work well for me so I've gone for a pink and white version.

The flowers are from the Hobby Art Wildflowers set, stamped with pink pearlescent ink and embossed with clear powder. The butterflies are from a Robert Adams die dabbed with pink Stickles

We'd love to see your Pink and Pearly creations

I'm also showing this at the Butterfly Challenge where the  theme is E for Embossing

Fairies at Cardz 4 Galz

It's time for our second challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and this week our theme is Fairies. I was going to get out some Angelina fibres to make my background but it's one of the things I've not come across yet in my massive craft clear out so I've used some kitchen foil and alcohol inks. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Bloomin Marvelous but I'm not sure about the butterflies as I can't find the packet. Both are stamped with Stazon onto acetate and pinned with brads to the background. The fairy is a Joanna Sheen die and I've nor stuck the wings down so it gives some movement.

We're looking forward to see what you come up with for this

I'm also entering this into the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes/With A Twist of Black
Moving Along With The Times - Fairy Enough

First Challenge At Cardz 4 Galz

Today is the day the new Cardz 4 Galz challenge blog starts and our first challenge is Your Favourite Colour. Blue is definitely my favourite especially all the different tones you can get of it

For my card I've made a Double Dutch Fold card base and covered it with some Hunkydory backing paper. The dragonfly is cut with Spellbinders Dragonfly Delight dies, the top part being cut from a lovely iridescent vellum which hardly shows on the photograph

I do hope you'll join us for our first challenge

Cardz 4 Galz Challenge Coming Soon

It's now only 2 weeks until the Cardz 4 Galz challenge blog launches it's first challenge so make sure you come over on 1st October

As a pre-launch, Caz is introducing the design team during September and has asked us to make a card using our Favourite Things. This is so difficult as my favourite thing is usually the last thing I purchased so I have gone with Texture as my favourite thing. I've used a flower loom to make the three daisies for my texture on this card

I'm also entering this into the Butterfly Challenge which is Y is for Yarn

New Challenge Blog Coming Soon
