tis the season

Haven't had much time for card making lately too many other things to do 

My DT card for creative knockouts is from The Artsy stamper and I picked this image called seaside holiday set the image made me think of the lake where we go each christmas

The base card is red, I found this baking paper in my ever growing stash and it is meant to look like water drops.The image I printed out and coloured it with copics the boat I coloured orange as that is the colour of our little row boat that my husband patiently rows around the lake, (Motors are not allowed on the lake and it is so peaceful you can hear the fish jumping) I cut an extra image, so I would have the presents cut them out and  put them on top so they were slightly raised I distressed the edges or the card then adhered to red card, same as the base. I did the sentiment on the cut n scan and adhered it sideways just to be different

Fishes

 This weeks DT card was to be winter wonderland from fabrikafantasy  but there was not a lot of images to choose from and I ended up with this one  betta fish crowntail

                                                                                        

I downloaded a glass from the net and positioned the fish and sentiment onto the glass, the bubbles greenery and stones were stamps I coloured them with gel pens. Did the sentiment on the computer  and cut with the cuttlebug. The card I made it slim line just enough for the width of the glass, folded the front panel in half and cut it off then attached the glass to the front with foam  

The winter part was the fish comes inside for the winter, the wonder land part was the fish wondering if he might be get drunk by someone

     

Autumn

 My DT card for this week is a image called Autumn girl  from https://TwinkleLane Designs

The backing paper is from a paper pad called Dark inks and this one reminded me of a storm brewing I coloured the image with copics the tree I cut on my new Scan n Cut (the old one died  and I was so pleased it could not be fixed I got to get a new one that has so much more on it 😏)any way I coloured the tree with copics and the leaves in an assortment of colours cut the leaves off the tree leaving a few then glued them in a pile under the tree,added the brown ribbon the sentiment,came with the image,I printed it off and adhered it to the card adhered the girl with foam so she stood out

Is there cake

 This card for creative knockouts is this image macdoodle dog a image from Hetty Clare and it was to be lots of layers

I started off with a white base card the backing paper was from my stash I cut the paper a bit too small, and as we know there are no mistakes in card making, so I cut it in half and adhered to the cardI then got a strip of white card and a smaller strip of blue card embossed it with swiss dots. printed out the image cut the image out then cut two more cards a larger size, distress inked the edges, adhered the white strip first, then one of the squares,then the blue strip then the topper.Did the sentiments on the computer cut them out and adhered them to blue card then white card

Halloween

 Halloween has only been observered here in NZ for a few Years so its not a card I need to make but... it is my image boo i can see you for my DT card at creative knockouts and the colours to use were black purple and orange 

I used a backing paper that had bats on it,adhered to black card. Printed out my image cut it out with the cuttle bug and cut a scallop, coloured it with copics,I then cut out the spider web adhered it to the card the put my topper on top I then added the bats and spider, one of the first die sets I bought, I then put a thin strip of double sided tape and sprinkled purple glitter on it. Then to make it a trick I made the card to open on the left side not the right

I like many others I am sure do not like making condolence cards. This is for a lovely man who was confined to a wheelchair after having a stroke many years ago and he will be missed by his family and friends I have done this card a little different

I started with a black base of 28 cm x 15 cm then cut the white card  26 cm x 14 size is irrelevant can be any size you want. I printed the sentiment onto the card before cutting.

I then cut the black cards spine 14 cm about 1/2 cm from the two top edges here you can see the tape lines
  

Here is two views inserting the card through the slit

  

Once I had the cards fitted I adhered the top and inside of card together so as to reinforce the whole card.

So then I decorated it  I made all the flowers and leaves with one of my dies, made the angel and then put ribbon around it

Friends

Am a bit late posting this DT card for creative knockouts and I used this lovely stamp from  LeAnn's    World  srocky and renae  

I have had this backing paper for forever never really had a stamp to go with it. I sized the paper to fit the base and cut  a square in it then cut a frame using the same die with a larger die.I printed off the image with the sentiment written under it then coloured the image with copics. added a butterfly to the corner
