Presents for 2

Another Christmas card today...I just can't resist the adorable Lili of the Valley bears! This one is called 'Presents for 2'...and I followed the sketch from Christmas Stampin' All Year Long. The yummy papers are by Bo Bunny (from the 'Tis the Season' collection), the sentiment stamp is by Cuddly Buddly, and the snowflake (just seen under the sentiment) was cut using the Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' die. I'm also going to enter this card into Teddy Stampers 'Use Different Shapes' challenge.

Summery Sugar

I've had the day off today...woo-hoo!...so I spent a little time crafting this afternoon, while watching the Tour de France. I followed the sketch from the Sugar Bowl Challenge (including the optional extra of 'scallops'), using one of the Gorjuss Girl stamps, 'Teddy Bear', which is also perfect for the Teddy Stampers 'Love My Teddy' challenge. I used summery coloured papers from the 'Ooh La La (for Her)' collection by My Mind's Eye, so I'm also going to enter this card into Cute Card Thursday's 'School's Out for Summer'...even though I still have a couple more weeks of teaching to go before it's out for me! :0(
I distressed all of the edges, and added a sentiment from the CCSR set by Papermania, as I'm going to send this card to my partner for this month's Friendship Card Sawp on the Docrafts forum.

Bear & Butterflies

This cards combines a few challenges: the sketch from Papertake Weekly; Crafty Creations 'We want to see you shine'; Crazy4Challenges 'Paper Flowers'; and Teddy Stampers 'Summer'. The adorable image is by Lili of the Valley ('Bear & Butterflies', and the gorgeous sparkly papers are from the 'Penny Lane' glitter stack by My Mind's Eye. The flowers are a mixture of Prima and Petaloo, and the brads are Papermania.

 

Dream a Dream...

I've used one of my favourite Penny Black stamps ('Dream a Dream') on this card. I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers...and it combines quite a few other challenges...so I'll list them at the end. The papers are all from the '29th Street Market' collection by My Mind's Eye...another of my favourite things, and I used my Cuttlebug 'Victoria' and 'Swiss Dots' folders for the embossing. The flowers are by Making Memories, and I used an EK Success punch for the scalloped border.
