Make it Feminine at Creative Craft Cottage

Hello friends, I hope the week is being good to you.

We are already into the last quarter of April and we are still having such lovely almost summer weather. Our temps are still in the upper 20's...28/29 almost daily. We even had a good shower of rain, which is now almost over for us in this area until October/November.  Thank goodness the nights are somewhat cooler and one can sleep without having fans going. Autum is slow in arriving, but no doubt winter will just jump in without much warning. Enough about the weather....onto the challenge.

The new challenge for this fortnight at Creative Craft Cottageis Feminine. We have 2 sponsors again for this challenge and I have used an image from Sassy Studio Designs called day at the park




The paper is from noname pack, matted onto blue cardstock.

The image is coloured with Distress inkpads and cut out.

The fancy die cut is a Nellie Snellen die.

Added pearls, lace and a bow.

Stamped the sentiment ..happy birthday and cut the other one out and mounted it with foam pads.

Tag you're it

Good morning blogging friends,
I am rather late with this post, but I have been away on a small holiday, doing a cruise up the South African coast. I decided not to schedule this as I would be back to post it myself, which I was....but returned on Saturday evening to NO internet and it has just come back now. (Monday mid morning)...so my apologies.  I did have a lovely holiday.

The challenge at Creative Craft Cottage this fortnight is...Tag, you're it.  We again have 2 sponsors this time and the image I have used is from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps called Spring Cart and you can find it HERE

The DT have made such lovely cards for inspiration, so please do go and have a look, then come and join in the fun. Great digi prizes to win as well.

I have made a Z fold card this time.

The paper is from my stash.

I coloured the image with Distress inkpads, added little pearl maker centres, and cut it out with a MF Die.

I added a corner diecut on the inside to hold my tag, which I diecut from a KaiserCraft page of sentiments. Punched the corners and added a ribbon.
Also added a small corner diecut with pearls to finish.

I am off to try and find a cool breeze. We are still in the throws of a heatwave. today our temps are a record high of 39 deg. C and this is abnormal for us in this part of the country. Not a drop of rain has fallen for a couple of weeks now and the garden is battling. The farmers are in dire straits and water including drinking water is being collected and distributed to the country areas where they have run out of water. Quite a sad state to be in.

I will be back soon, thanks for visiting and take care.

Love Ursula

Time for some sparkle

Good morning and a happy Sunday to everyone.
I hope that your Christmas preparations are going well, as time is now starting to run out.

Today I have a card for the new challenge #54 at Creative Craft Cottage    
with the theme to "add some sparkle".

For this challenge we again have a lovely sponsor Lacy Sunshine. I have used the image called Holly and you can find it HERE.
The winner of this challenge will receive 3 gorgeous images, so please come and join in with this really easy challenge.


I used teal glitter paper for the 1st layer and then matted some glitter patterned paper with holly leaves.

The image was coloured with Distress inkpads and again added gold glitter onto the bauble.

Finished off with a poinsettia and a peel-off sentiment.

A Christmas card for a change.

Good morning friends,
Firstly a big welcome to my newest followers..Lori, Susan and Christina. Lovely to have you join my little group of friends and hope you will pop in from time to time. Love having visitors...sorry I don't always have tea and cake, but hope there is something else to make your visit worthwhile.

Onto today's challenge at Creative Craft Cottage. This fortnight we have another popular 'Ánything goes' challenge and our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.
The DT have all used one of their cutting files for their cards. The great thing with their cutting files is that you can use then even without an electronic cutting machine....that is really great.





For my card I decided to go with a side step card and I made a Christmas card.

The paper is all from my stash,

Image was a freebie from Crafty Sentiments Designs a little while back and it is called 'Dressing the Christmas tree'.
 Coloured it with Distress inkpads and added lots of glitter to the tree

I then cut some squares and made a pile of gifts with ribbon bows.

The sentiment is from a Papermania set
.

Anything goes at Creative Craft Cottage

Happy Monday friends,
I am a little late with this posting, but I had a busy morning, that just took a bit longer than I had hoped.. Today there is a new challenge at Creative Craft Cottage and it is an easy one... Anything goes.

Our sponsor is Rick St. Dennis and the lucky winner will receive 2 digis of their choice.

The DT have all used one of their images, so do go and see the lovely creations they have made.

 For my card I have used Cocoa and cookies Santa and you can find it HERE

I have coloured the image with Distress inkpads. For the trim on Santa's clothes, I used texture paste and then spread glitter over it. I cut it out and mounted it on my new star die, from Marianne designs. I placed this over red card and trimmed it.

The paper is all old Christmas paper from my stash. I think I need to shop for some new paper this year, as I now only have bits and pieces left.

On the front I have 2 Christmas tree diecuts. These are cut from a Marianne Design die. I have also had this one for a number of years. Decorated them with some glitter.

I will be back later to enter some challenges. I do hope to see your cards in the challenge. You have 2 weeks to enter, so come and join in.

Another card for challenge #42 at Creative Craft Cottage

 

Hello everyone,

Here I am again with the 2nd card for this challenge of spots or stripes at Creative Craft Cottage.

This time I am using an image from Rick St dennis called Joannie the flower child and can be found HERE

The DT have all used different images from the sponsor making some really awesome cards, so do pop over and get some inspiration.

For my card I have used a new 'Create a Card' die from Crealies. I had to do a little fix up job, as I had cut my paper incorrectly and it was the last piece I had, "American Girl"



The image was coloured with Distress inkpads and I added Pontura pearl makers for her necklace and a touch of glitter to her earrings and bangles. 

The sentiment on the back is a freebie from A piece of Heart. Sharon has lovely sentiments and is always giving a new freebie, so you need to check in on her blog.

This was a fun card and will look to enter it in the following challenges:
