Another smoochy card!

Morning! I hope you're all having a good week! Here's another quick post for another Valentines card I've made, it's for the plethora of Valetines challenges about! I've had this stamp forever - it's probably one of the first I bought! I've embossed it with clear gloss but I'm not sure it shows! I've kept it simple so it would work for a mens card too.
Here's the list of challenges -
Clean & Simple - this sketch
Cupcake Craft - Seeing Red
Spoonful of Sugar - Love
Oldie but a Goodie - Add a Heart
Allsorts - It must be Love
Crazy 4 Challenges - Valentines
Phew! That's all folks, thanks for looking!

Penny Black Saturday #131 & Sweet Stop Sketch #86!

Morning! I can't believe I'm late with this post again! I get so busy this time of year (as I'm sure you all do) but it always seems to come as a total surprise and I'm left running late for everything! It's time for my Double DT cards, and this week I did something I said I wouldn't do, I've combined this weeks Sweet Stop Sketch with this weeks Penny Black Saturday challenge! Arggghhh!! Sorry peeps, but desperate times call for desperate measures and it was either that or choose to make only one! (I'm just glad the PB challenge wasn't a sketch one too!) The Penny Black Saturday challenge is The Holly and the Ivy - Christmas plants, trees etc! I've made a fairly simple but bright card as this is going to my young cousins but there's enough glitter on it to jazz it up!
This is also going to be for this weeks Allsorts - 'Last minute Christmas' (I'd definitely say this counts!), Spoonful of Sugar - a Christmas card (2nd entry) and ABC Challenge - J is for Jewels & gems.
Thanks for looking, I hope you have a great weekend! I'm about to go freeze my bits off at the Winchester Christmas market! Byeee!
Supplies-
Image - 'Christmas Crtitters' clear Penny Black set
Colouring - Copics
Papers - Pink Petticoat 'Fairy Lights'
Holly - X-Cut punch
Border - Martha Stewart 'Doily Lace' punch
Ribbon - stash
Sentiment - made on the PC
Glitter - 'Stardust' Stickles

Penny Black Saturday #128 & Sweet Stop Sketch #83!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope you've had a great week! It's time for more challenges, firstly the Penny Black Saturday challenge which this week is this fantastic sketch by Pauline! The DT obviously loved it as the cards are gorgeous! Carole and Letraset are generously providing the prizes this week and they're fab so be sure to join us!
I loved making my cards this week (not that I ever hate it but sometimes I try to Pigeon hole myself instead of trying to just be creative) and they've come out so differently! My first is a vintagy, traditional style and it's for the following challenges -
Basic Grey Challenge - Things with Wings (this cute wee bird should count I hope!)
Papertake - Autumn Colours
Stamp with Fun - Square Card &
Spoonful of Sugar - Distressing (I've inked all the edges with Distress Ink).
I made the Poinsettia with the large and medium EK Success Daisy punches then cut around the edges with deckled edge scissors in case you were wondering! :-)

Supplies-
Image - from the 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' Clear set by Penny Black
Colouring - stamped in green then gone over with a black fineliner, Copics & Stickles
Papers - Core'dinations & Basic Grey 'Wassail'
Gems - Anita's gem wheel
Raffia - Bunny Zoe Crafts
Ribbon & sentiment (which is actaully gold!) - stash
Other - EK Success 'Daisy punch, Leone Em 'Stamen' punch & Lacy Squares Nestabilities

******************************************************************************
Now is my card for this weeks Sweet Stop Sketches challenge, and it's time again for a sketch with a spin which means there's stamps to be won! The spin is to Decorate the inside of your card! I always mean to do this but making it takes me so long as it is that I tend to leave it! This card is also for these -
Simon Says Stamp challenge which is Sparkle,
ABC Christmas Challenge - X is for X-mas &
Totally Gorjuss - Not so Traditional Christmas.
Do you see what I mean about the different styles?! I used a lot of the elements from my favourite things card last week and I don't think it'll be the last you see of them! I followed the sketch for the inside too but without all the glitter card and gems, I don't think it would have closed with all that on! Thanks for looking, I hope you have a lovely weekend!
