KWERNER CHALLENGE #53

Hi everyone!! I was feeling unwell this morning and after a few strong drugs( thank goodness for medicine ) I am feeling a lot better so much so that I had time to whip up this card!! These colours are so bright and cheerful I thought that this would be a great challenge to do.

I used the colours Pacific Point, Real Red, Summer Sun, white and black.

I used the SU stamp set Trendy Trees, coordinating the DSP paper from the pack Good Morning Sunshine.

I haven't used my scallop edge punch much recently thought it was time that it saw the light of day LOL

I hope to do a lot of stamping this weekend and I cant wait to ink up SU Fifth Avenue I think that is going to be my favourite for awhile,
Anyway I better pack up my mess...................... If you get a chance go check out the amazing entries by clicking, here

KWERNER CHALLENGE #47

Hi Ya All!!!

Gee hasn't the week gone fast!!!! I really enjoyed the colours this week- I think even more than normal because my order arrived yesterday with all the new SU in colours and this week I got to play with one of them woohoo....

The colours are so happy and bright which made me decide to use SU Crazy for Christmas stamp set ( retiring in 4 days ) .

Tried to make the card sort of look like a present -by the way i layered the ribbon and paper.

I paper tolled out the presents with different coordinating cardstock and Dsp paper.

Well I am off to town to do a little shopping........Click here to take you to all the other amazing entries,

KWERNER CHALLENGE #46

Hi everyone it feels like I haven't stamped in awhile.....................Oops it has been awhile, I have been busy making a huge banner for Sunday School and I am over cutting out felt!!! I must say I was a bit hesitant cutting out these flowers but enjoyed getting back in the swing of stamping again.

I have used the stamps SU Eastern blooms and an old retired SU set Big Blooms.

I used Ruby Red instead of Riding Hood Red - because mine hasn't arrived yet :(

Anyway back to American Idol LOL - Go check out the other entries by clicking Here....

KWERNER CHALLENGE #44 Number 2

Hi again I really wanted to give this challenge another go!

I have stamped the big flower from SU Friendly Flowers (retired) on vellum and then layered the flower using the other stamps in the set.

To add a bit of dimension I put some light pink and white beads on wire and added it on in the centre of the flower-it was very hard to take a decent photo!

Back to entertaining my cherubs on a lovely rainy day!

KWERNER CHALLENGE #44

How cool is this Inspirational photo!!! I have so many ideas going around in my head and thought that i would quickly make a card tonight and maybe one tomorrow :)

My oldest son turned 7 today so I have been busy with family and making cakes etc..........time is going way to fast:(

Anyway back to the card- I have wanted to play with this SU stamp set for awhile and have been so excited to finally be able to ink it up....................I know that these colours are not what you would usually use but I just couldn't help myself. I used Dazzling Diamonds on the pink chicken and on the centres of the flower background stamp...also paper tolling out the chicken and egg!!

I will be back after a good night sleep.................click here for the other card entries.

KWERNER CHALLENGE # 41

Hi Guys!!!! Another Kwerner challenge and  I must say that I was really excited about these colours:) I ended up choosing the stamp set SU All in the family, and have made the card for my darling husband to give tomorrow ( valentines day).

I paper tolled out the clothes to give the image a bit more dimension using coordinating scraps of DSP paper. 

We don't have Riding Hood Red so I picked out Ruby Red instead, and I think that this colour combination is perfect for masculine cards.

Hope you enjoy your night, we are about to sit down and watch a movie....... lets hope that Sean hasn't picked some war/action type movie......

If you get a chance click on here for some cool card entries..........really inspirational.

KWERNER CHALLENGE # 40

Hi Yeah!!! Another Kwerner challenge!! I didn't have any of the children this morning so I took the opportunity to do some housework and that included cleaning out the children's fish tank ARGHH!!! 

Anyway one good thing about it was that it reminded me of my SU Fishy Friends stamp set that has never seen the light of day (ha ha) and I thought that no matter what the colours were for this challenge I was going to ink up this set :).

well the colours couldn't have worked any better............... I paper tolled out the fish fins and face adding Dazzling Diamonds...... also I couldn't help but add some Dazzling Diamonds to the polka dot DSP paper, I know I went a bit crazy with my distressing tool its kinda therapeutic after a long day!!! (ha,ha) I kinda of Choose the colours in relation to the inspirational photo (being more yellow ribbon etc..).

Anyway I am going to go and check out the other entries since its a holiday tomorrow I can stay up a little come and join me by clicking Here....

KWERNER CHALLENGE # 39

Hello to you all!! I was really excited about the colours this week......... mainly because i have heaps of boys birthday cards looming up everywhere, and to be able to combine the challenge with the birthday cards  would save a lot of time.

So with this in mind i went for the stamp set Ahoy Matey (SU) i paper tolled out his face, sword and top. 

I really enjoyed doing the faux stitching around the edges of the background i had my sewing machine out ready to do the job but couldn't find any red thread so i paper pierced the DSP paper and with my red pen connected the dots!! ( it actually takes half the time of sewing lol) 

This card is flying over to Australia for a little boy called Samuel who turned three today!!

Happy Birthday Sammy hope you like it Fee!

KWERNER CHALLENGE # 38

Good evening!!! I must say I really enjoyed the challenge this week!! I had a look at the colours this morning and so I had the whole day to think about it!!! I just couldn't wait for the boys to go to sleep but did you think they would!!

Anyway I stamped the background to make my own DSP paper by using a little flower stamp out of SU Embrace Life set and a two step flower stamp from the SU Spring Solitude set, I got my sewing machine out and sewed around the border.............. I added a tiny bit of black on this card I thought might be okay since its in the inspirational photo.

The three flowers on the card is also from Embrace Life I just used one of the flowers ( the stamp has three different styles) and stamped them in coordinating colours, Paper tolling them out and sewing buttons in the given colours and finishing them with a tiny bow.

If you have some time go and look at the other entries or even give the challenge a go!!

Have a good one!

Cheers ,

Amy
