Hi all here is my card for today, remember the challenge we have for you to post on our paper planet group. I will be posting another card for that challenge later and will be looking forward to see all your beautiful work.
My card today is a slinding card my first attempt not too bad I would say I used Lulu from the christmas collection, they are so cute to colour and the sentiments is from one of the new set coming out on the 8th Dec.

Challenge 11-29-09

Hi all! hope you had a fabulous week. Here in America we celebrated Thanksgiving and oh my has it been busy. So for my post I am telling you what the challenge is but my sample will be added on tomorrow.....hopefully my craft room will fix itself cause right now it is in shambles!!!!

This weeks challenge is to use 2 different design papers on your project. Hope you enjoy playing along. you have until 12/5/09 to submit your project to the papercraft group here

ETA: Ok so I was actually able to get in my stamp room and stamp...WOO HOO! I used some new design paper that I have been hoarding cause it is way too pretty to use! The first thing I wanted to do was use flocking the minute I saw this image. Can't wait to see what you do with the challenge!

Daisy's Birthday Wish

Hi everybody, I hope you are enjoying your crafting and cardmaking. I am really enjoying using these new stamps from here on Crafty Sentiments and have inked up "Daisy" for this birthday card. She is a treat to work with. She is available with "Jasmine" and "Lulu" and wonderful sets of sentiment stamps so why not have a closer look at what's available.

I have used BG "Eva" and "Perhaps" papers. The embellishments are all from my stash. I hope you like the result.

Thanks for visiting.

Crafty Sentiments Challenge

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful week and that you've enjoyed the cooler weather. I am not really prepared for it and would like to push rewind so I can enjoy fall.....That is where I received my inspiration for my colors. I wanted fall like colors! This week we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in America and that is the epitome of fall.

There is a Small catch though. I have a challenge for you all! You can ONLY use ribbon as your embellishment.....That was really hard for me cause I love to add bling and baubles and brads and eyelets and just about anything.

I picked up some pretty fall colored ribbon. and I HAD to use it. I love these new character stamps.....I think this one is my favorite.....although I do say that every time I have inked up any of these three gorgeous character stamps

You have until Next saturday at midnight to play along. Hope you find some wonderful inspiration and don't forget to join our papercraft planet group: HERE

Christmas Card for a little Lady

Hello girls - Friday is to be my day for posting a card on this blog to show off the Crafty Sentiments range of products. I made this card for the Allsorts challenge where the task was to make a card for a child. I chose to colour up "Lulu" available to purchase here. She looks gorgeous coloured with my Copic Ciaos, glitter and flower soft. The sentiment is from one of the Crafty Sentiment Christmas sets. The paper is from Stampin Up - "Christmas Mint/Raspberry Truffle" stuck onto green Bazzil. The snowflakes are cut using Nestabilities set No.2 and the bell and ribbon are from my stash.
I hope you like this card.
Why not have a look at the Stamps and Sentiment sets available here. They are well worth a look.
Hugs,

Please e-mail Lisa at mainlystamping@gmail.com with your shipping address so we can get your new Crafty Sentiment Character stamp in the mail!!

Christmas Fun....

Today's card has been made using the character Lulu and then using the ticket image which came with my deisgner papers to stamp my sentiment onto, making for another different way of using these lovely sentiment stamps. The sentiment I used today comes from the stamp set 'A Christmas Wish' and the designer papers are available as a free download from The Craft Table Blog. I added stickles to Lulu's outfit to give a little bit of a textured feature. 

Sorry the photo isn't great I will take another today once I have better light.

A Penny for your Thoughts .....

I made this card for Crafts 4 Eternity challenge and used a new Inkadinkado stamp I bought this week. I decided that this little bird would be sitting there patiently spending time thinking about all her friends and family and those closest to her and looking forward to her new arrival. I felt that this sentiment from one of the sets available here would be appropriate. Why not have a look at the others available here from Suzette and treat yourself to some gorgeous goodies.
Hugs,
