This challenge at  Creative Knockouts is For the kids from using a image from Doctor Digi  the image I am using is  trevors treehouse 

I made this a stepper card,as the green backing paper was left over from another card and put into my stash,of, to use some time and I thought it looked a bit like grass.I printed off the image twice so I could  3d the bits by glueing them together rather than do it with foam dots. I was going to do it with the tyre,flag and Trev only Trev looked ok, not that it is noticable. I coloured the image with copics. the treehouse is different shades of grey, the first one I did was brown and then then the tree trunk was brown it all just merged into a big brown blob The Happy Birthday is a die I cut three of tthem and glued them together then adhered to green cardd then ontto the bottom of the card with foam dots I might add something to the side pieces yet although I do like it the way it is

             

                  

 The challenge at    Creative Knockouts  Is Embossing Delight sponsered byRachelle Anne Miller    and I am using this image Bee yourself

I decided to make a Quadruple z fold card thought it would be a good way to show off the embossing and its a fun fold to make there is a lot of tutorials on you tube

The Embossing folder is called Bee's Delight 

I embossed the card then cut to sizes then used Mustard Seed Distress ink to ink all the edges 

Cut the Frames with the Cuttle Bug and distressed the edges of them also I did some slightly heavier bits I was trying to give it the honey on the fingers onto the  paper look 

Added sentiment to bottom it says "you are awesome" and also added a wee bee beside it 

   

                                                                                             

Birthday Wishes

 This challenge over at Creative knockouts is Birthday Wishes with an image from Mirtillamente called sweet birthday Definitely think I need a new Camera The photo is not that Bright

I started with a White base card, 

The pink embossed card was in my stash thought it looked a bit like a waffle cone. 

I had some strips of backing paper so did a twisted ribbon technique which is so easy to do, there are some tutorials on you tube 

I distressed the edges with black soot distress ink I then adhered to the black card. Then onto the embossed card, I used a strong glue as the panel didn't really stick to the embossed card 

I scanned the image, then cut it out with my scan n cut, I then added a border on to the image and cut it out using black card, I coloured the image with my copics then adhered to the black card I then adhered the image to the card with one inch and two inch double sided foam tape just so the sentiment is even

Love/Valentine/Anniversary

The theme for  creative knockouts  this time is for  Love/Valetine's/Anniversary with a image from        Star Stampz  I am using be my valentine  

My Grandson and his partner have been together for five years this month and wondered if I could make him a card, so this is just the image to use and as I like doing shaped cards I decide to make it a double flap card plenty of tutorials out there to follow

I was given a set of Mintay papers called Chocolate Kiss just right for this kind of card I used Red card stock for all the base card and the three papers you can see here

For the top art of the card the hearts are adhered to the flap

For the inside of the card, which is basically another card, the base card is folded in half  I printed a picture on the white card a cupcake on one and some love balloons I then stamped a love sentiment on the card then adhered the white card onto the backing paper then onto the base card 

you can see it all put together in the first image 

 It all folds down flat for postage

The only thing I found with this card is it does not sit up straight, for display, as the top flap is not as long as the base card but I am sure that could be sorted out

Thank you for coming to have a look

                                                           

     

Celebrations

Another New Year has passed my only resolutions is keep on crafting one I know I definitely  can stick to

Our first new year card from Creative Knockouts  is resolutions our sponsor is polkadoodles and the image is mabel with balloons

Christmas for us in New Zealand is in the Summer so it's not really coat season 

So I decided to make this into a Birthday card for one of the granddaughters Birthday, I used one of my new dies, cut one set in purple card and the other in the hearts backing paper, so I will get two card out of this die. 

I then adhered it to white card then onto a purple base card. I coloured the image with copics, my camera is not too good anymore, (shame santa didn't bring me a new one) the skin and hair has been coloured, I  adhered the image with foam, I die cut the sentiment two purple One white adhered them together and slightly offset the white one then adhered them to the card.

 

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
