There is always something

This card I'm sharing today was for my Aunty's birthday back on the 12th March.  I have had the photo and I have not posted it as yet.  Yes, I have been very slack with any posts this year.  My two excuses are extra hours at work which has lead to very limited crafting time.  But enough with excuses and to sharing my card.

The image is a digi image from Sweet Pea Stamps. My Aunty loves tigers and the colour red so I was able to incorporate both with this card.  I haven't done much copic colouring for about 6 months.

Rock n Roll

My Mum has requested a rock n roll card for a family friend.  So in the middle of Christmas card frenzies I had to change gear and create a male themed card.  I do hope the recipient likes the card.
I used the November range of Kaiser craft "Off the Wall".

Christmas cards for my family

Yes I finally got around to making my families Christmas cards.  I have been very slack with my copic colouring these past 6 months but finally got motivated and got 3 cards made.  I must say not my best colouring but after being missing in action the last 6 months I guess they are going to have to do as my time is running out.

Firstly my parents card which always has to have a Santa on it for my Mum.

Secondly is my brother's card as he is a dark kind of character so I coloured this Tiddlyinks image mainly black and used some green and black bat paper from Graphic 45.

Third is my sister's card, which was another Tiddlyinks image and reminded me of two sisters together at Christmas time.  One with blonde hair to represent me and the other with black hair for my sister.

I do hope all my family members like their cards.

3D Christmas Cards

Last Monday night I held a card class for my ladies and I thought I would challenge them in some 3D card techniques.  We made three cards in total, all with a christmas theme.

# Step card

# Tri-fold card

# Cascading card

Here are all 3 cards together.  Two of these cards I had never made before myself but felt like I did alright.

November Card Class

Last night I had a class with my two ladies to create a few more Christmas related projects.  Firstly we did a shaker card which I haven't done one of these for years and was inspired by Stampin' Up! demonstrators with the Bright & Beautiful stamp set from Stampin' Up!

The second project is another inspiration from Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I created one of these last year for a secret Santa gift and decided to show my ladies how to make a Holiday Gift Tags & Gift Box.

November Card Club

Today is Card Club at Scrapbook Fantasies so I thought I would share with you my demo and card swaps.  One of the ladies who attend card club requested an exploding box demo with a Christmas theme.  

 

Then our swap this month is Christmas.  I did have something else planned but ran out of time so following inspiration from a Stampin' Up! demonstrator this is what I created.

Love My Choo Choo Train

Yes it's November and time for another Copic Challenge at Scrapbook Fantasies.  The theme for this month is Child.  So I chose a Sweet Pea Stamp "Love My Choo Choo Train".  I have had this stamp for quite sometime but have not had the opportunity to use it and thought this as the perfect chance.  And I am very happy with end result.
