Tic Tac Toe

This week my DT card for Creative Knockouts is a tic tac toe card using using this image from Jans digi stamps called Snow globe family    My tic tac toe recipe was; a fancy fold card, this image and ribbon or twine

I decided to do a snow globe card.I printed off the the family and coloured with copics and added some snow flakes I adhered the ribbon, from my stash, to the bottom of the base. I then cut out the card using the the globe as a guide Then adhered it to the base card I then added a bit of glitter glue the the hats and scarfs,the snow flakes looked a bit dull so added some glitter glue to them as well I then added the bow with the bell 
The front was a bit top heavy so I cut two scalloped circles one with christmas paper from my stash the other white card will stamp a sentiment on when I decide who to give it to

Daffodils

 Well here we are the last day in August and the last day of level 4 lock down here in NZ, I thought I could craft in peace with no grandchildren around, but no, didn't get much crafting done and I really missed the kids. Just as well for phones, Level 3 is still pretty much the same as 4,for me

I did manage to do another of my DT cards with this Laurie Furnell image little girl & cute-kitty 

I decided to make a stepper card,I printed out the image and coloured with copics, and I managed to get the cat coloured right, the backing paper,daffodils, was from my stash,Adhered to yellow base card.In the stamp set there was a row of three Daffodils  so I linked three together  to make a row of Daffodils,did two and adhered them to the step.Sentiment stamped Inside I put a square of white card with a panel of the backing paper A quick card to make once I decided what to do

Mr Speaker

My DT card this time for Creative Knockouts is this fun digi from Dr Digi house of stamps called Mr Speaker Birthday

to

Now I am going to have fun with this image I know a few cranky old men who are dreading getting older, I will add a age and their name and the messages will reflect their moaning
I used kraft card for the base,the background was given to me ages ago from a friend, I adhered the jute ribbon to the backing card then a thin black ribbon,I then adhered the card to the base  I copied the sentiment and printed it out then cut them out onto kraft card
The sentiment say's "
I bet you thought you'd never become a grumpy old man but here you are killing it"

Seesaw

For this week at creative knockouts  the theme is all stitched up and the image I used was a stamp from Hetty Clare Art called  ladies on a seesaw


On white card I wrote the sentiments and put the image in between and printed it off I then printed another off to make a mask for the ladies and the clouds I then used my distress inks and coloured the sky and grass. I then coloured the image with copics  I then punched the edges on  a light green card although it looks blue and adhered the image to  it then onto a white base card and then I realised the theme was all stitched up lucky I used the punch I did  I was able to thread some gold thread through it
I dont know if my camera is getting old but it hasn't been showing the true colours,and the pictures look a bit dull

Acorn Ale

This weeks DT card for  creative knockouts is this lovely image from Sheep ski designs acorn ale

I saw this crossover pointy card on you tube so decided to make it, it's a very simple card to make.
I used a double sided backing paper,printed off my image and cut on the scan n cut then did another in plain card to make it stand out a bit more. The acorn ale sign was originally was connected to the glass so I cut it off before I  put it through the scan n cut. I coloured the image with copics adhered it to the card . I then adhered the image to the card with foam to 3d it same with the sign.The other sign I saw on the net,cut it out adhered to coloured card then onto the card

Book journey

 For this week at creative knockouts it's anything goes and  I had this image to use journey-through-a-book from Star Stampz I had picked this stamp myself and I have to admit when I got around to doing it I was a little stumped. Then thinking about the fact it was anything goes I decide to do a shadow box

I used some light purple thin card to make the box and lined the inside with striped backing paper coloured the image with copic's cut all the images around the box on the scan n cut (saves so much time) some I coloured with copics, some were already coloured the sentiment was done on the computer 
This is going on the wall in the grand kids bedroom
