Anything Goes at ATSM

Goodmorning everyone! Are you ready for Anything Goes? Over at Addicted to Stamps and More!, that's what the new challenge is for you.

I have two cards to share with you today - I was able to get my printer working just in time and have wanted to make a card for ages with this image from our sponsor at Nicecrane Designs -


Here is my 1st card -

This butterfly is from a sheet called Garden and Orchards. It contains 10 different coloured images.

I have used Chocolate Chip cardstock for my base. I have distressed the edges and curled them over on my First Edition Print DSP (can you tell the writing is all about butterflies?). The oval frame is another from my gift from Phillipa (aren't they getting good use at the moment?). The flowers are from Inspired by Stamping. The sentiment is from my Banner Greetings set and inked with Baked Sugar.

I would like to enter my 1st card into the following challenge -

Inspired by Stamping - Customer Gallery
Make it Monday - Always Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Always Anything Goes (no twist this week)

Here is my 2nd card -

This card that I one that I saw at my mum's while down in Canberra. It was something that was made at one of the classes held by Kim Badelt. Kim kindly sent me through the instructions on how to make it. Thank you Kim!!

This is a bit different for me! I have created a shaped card... I fell in love with the card that I saw at mum's and I hope I have done Kim justice. I have changed a few things as I didn't have some of the supplies that Kim used. 

Here are those little punched flowers again. This time I embossed the Leafty Vine die with my Perfect Polka Dot folder to give it more texture.

Can you see that gorgeous background stamp? I love it - it's called En Francais.

And, now below you can see the inside of the card. The spiral is simply a circle and then you cut from the outside edge and work your way to the centre to create your pop up. 

I had so much fun making this card. There were a lot of things to cut out and stamp. I enjoyed using so many butterflies on one card!!

We have a great sponsor for you this week -

Happy Friday everyone. I'm sure you are all glad that the weekend has just about arrived.

This card that I am sharing today was made for someone in particular who follows my blogs. You may remember that I had received a lovely package of die cuts in the post from Phillipa. Well, I decided I would make a thank you card with one of the dies that she had sent and also included some of my own die cuts for her.

Phillipa has text me today thanking me for the package which means now that she has seen the card, I can post it! Yay!

Here is the card -

The die cut that I received from Phillipa is called Palace Oval Frame. Isn't it just lovely. I have used some of my favourite colours at the moment from the new In Colours by Stampin' Up. My favourite stamp set at the moment HAS to be Papillon Potpourri. I LOVE these butterflies with their co-ordinating punches. The flowers are from Inspired by Stamping.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

House of Cards - Photo Inspiration (this is my 2nd entry). I have once again used the lovely colours from the branch of flowers and the white chairs in the background.

It's been a while since I have been able to link up with Flutter by Wednesdays and I am lucky enough that they have an Anything Goes challenge (#255) this week.

Happy Campers challenge #22 is to show your flowers.

As I have used my roses that are from Inspired by Stamping, I will link this card to their Customer Gallery for October.

So, once again I would like to thank Phillipa so very much for her pressie. I used the Frostyville Die that was sent in my package for a card that I entered at 52 CC Throwdown and it won Top Honour! You can see the card HERE.

A quick shout out to my other favourite stalker, Trudi!! Hello, toots!!

Inkspirational Challenge #28

Hi! I hope you are all well!!

Ready for a brand new challenge at Inkspirational? We have a photo inspiration for you this week that I know you will love.

Aren't those ladybugs just so cute?

I decided to use a sponsor image for this card which was perfect for this challenge. This card is going to be for my neice who has a birthday this month.

Here is my DT card -

This cute image is called 'Lady Bug Hello' and I have coloured it with my SU markers.

I was so excited to use a new stamp set called Itty Bitty Banners. I also purchased the co-ordinating dies (love co-ordinating dies). I am really 'into' banners right now. Can't get enough of them.

Well, I hope to see you join in the fun this week at Inkspirational.

You may take any element you like from the photo as inspiration.
