Winter wonderland

Our theme for this challenge at Creative Knockouts  is Winter Wonderland using a image from all dressed up the image I chose was  Skater Girl  

I decided to make a Diorama card I have a die for it and as it was winter I made it all white with exception for the girl and part of the tree

I cut out some bits for the card and sat for a bit kindy glitzing all the bits.

 Got just as much glitter on myself as well

Some of the bits were either too small or too big but they can be used on something else

The middle of the trees came out so I used the green inner with the white outer to make it look like snow

I coloured the girl with copics and  kindy glitzed bits of her and the back panel 

I adhered  one lot of leaves to the top of the two back panels and the the other  leaves on the bottom backs of the first two panels

I then adhered five snowflakes to the top of the first panel

Thank you for looking

Merry

For this challenge at Creative Knockouts  it's Time to be Merry, using a image from  Ram Stamps called  Christmas Merry I have to say I struggled a bit with this card eventually I ended up with this

I started with a red card base, cut three strips of gold card then put the Christmas baking paper on,

The backing paper was cut into  strips and I managed to get the borders top and bottom to match

I then printed the image three times, coloured the bottom one, then one of the other images then fussy cut the M,R and Y   also fussy cut the uncolored image I then put the Merry together. I put 3d tape on the letters so they would be raised. The Christmas was a die I cut a gold and red one adhered them together slightly apart 

over the fence

This challenge at Creative knockouts is outdoor fun using a  Doctor Digi image I chose Noreens neighbourly natter I think she is gorgeous 

I printed out the image and coloured it in with copics, I added a bit of extra card to the sides of the fence so I could fold it over to attach it to the base card I could of adhered it to the card with foam but this way the fence side hid the foam and to me it looked a bit neater, the image sat 1cm off the base card 

I tried all sorts of papers behind Noreen but nothing looked right. I found the card, one that I had been playing with, in my stash then I came across a piece of card that I had embossed with the pattern and they both worked for me, so I embossed the card I put the fence and card together then adhered it to a light  mauve base card I have noticed that I have not coloured the flower in this photo have since done it

I don't always think that photos show the card that well so this is the side view of the fence

Supa Dude

 Today at  creative knockouts our challenge is for lots of layers our sponsor is .polkadoodles and I chose this image superhero little dude cause who doesn't have a little super hero of their own

I have a photo of my, now 40 year old, son standing on the picnic table just like this.

I managed to put the image on a digital paper in a word document and I added the sentiment before printing it off. I downloaded the other sentiment I adhered the stars backing paper to light blue card then onto a dark blue base card I then cut a strip of blue card added  a strip of the star paper adhered it to the card then the sentiments and adhered it to the card I used a stripped backing paper with writing stamped on it  coloured my image with copics and adhered it to the stripped paper then adhered it on an angle as it sat better

Fancy fold

Our theme for this challenge at creative knockouts is for fancy folds using a image from  sheepski designs and I chose sheepskidesigns.blogspot.com/p/digis-flowers.html the three vases (no 27 of 38) images you have to scroll down tthe page to find the image

I separated the vases coloured them with copics put foam on the bottom of them

I cut out all the  elements for the card

I then put the card together I also had to cut some white card freehand for the bottom, couple of them not quite right 

My finished card I stamped the front as I didn't think a sentiment would look right so there is a white piece of card at the back to write on

Folded the card in half for posting

Pleats

 

These are two different ways of pleating The zig zag one the embossed  card was distressed on the edges, I used a sanding block, So I thought I would lightly sand the whole folder. You have to be careful not to be too heavy handed as you can rip the card, I did but was able to disguise it with the zig zag. The zig zag is made up of five small strips of double sided paper, folded at the ends, three were folded one way then the other two folded other side the ends were butted up to make the pattern 

The other card was just a matter of measuring and folding, they were folded to the middle and they had to be  precise or the piece wouldn't fold properly I was a bit out but it all worked out for me

I think I will be doing a bit of pleating on other cards

Has no sentiment on it will done one when I know who I am giving it too

Some more cards

 Here are some more of my Card Class cards

 Two different cards this time they need sentiments, and maybe a bit of bling, the little envelope was made by measuring and folding and a bit of string wrapped around it before it was adhered to the card. The white card's frame is just that adhered with foam then the flowers were added. the flowers that are over the frame also has foam dots to make it level

These cards I am not fussed on The black has a part piece embossed and we rubbed some sort of wax to make it stand out, the blue one was waxed straight onto the card then had a frame around as you can see with the double sided tape. I made a mess of this so didn't see the point of finishing it  Wont be giving these away

I liked doing these. Man card's  everything was layered and adhered with foam dots.

Has given me a bit of inspiration for men card's as I always get stuck 

Has no sentiment on it will done one when I know who I am giving it too
