Cinderella Effect Day 2 & The Big One!

Only managed to do two of the challenges yesterday, the first was a traditional Winter/Christmas card, I had a stamped image of the church from the set Silent Night, so I used that, added some Dazzling Diamonds & stamped snowflakes on the cardstock in Versamark

Recipe: all SU!

Stamp - Silent Night, Snowburst

DSPs - Merry Moments

Cardstock - Old Olive, Whisper White

Punch - Eyelet Border

Dazzling Diamonds

The second challenge I did was to make a Tea bag gift holder, I actually did this on my lap whilst watching last week's Top Model with my daughter! I got the template from Splitcoast Stampers, very easy to do although harder without a ScorPal - I knew there was something I forgot to get at the NEC! LOL

Recipe: all SU!

Stamp - Darling Dots (Level 1 Hostess set), Best Yet

Cardstock - Barely Banana, Whisper White

DSP - Washington Apple

Ink - Chocolate Chip

SU Markers - Barely Banana, Pumpkin Pie

Other - SU Sticky Strip

And finally, I entered the Big Challenge, which had to be a gift/card etc for a girl or boy, with the the theme of Cinderella/Princess or Knights/Dragons. We had up until midday today to do, I got my idea as I went to bed last night and nearly got back up to make it there & then, but hung on until this morning! It took all morning to do, and I got it in with half an hour to spare

I went for Rapunzel's Tower, which is made from a loo roll, covered in SU! DSP, the Princess word was cut out with a die and I used the Scallop Border punch to add a bit of detail. I really enjoyed doing it, ages since I've done something like this, rather than than just a card, a bit fiddly at times, but I felt like a real crafter! LOL

Recipe:

Cardstock - SU So Saffron, Pretty in Pink

DSPs - SU Tea & Crumpets

Ribbon, charm & chipboards shapes - all from stash.

We find out tomorrow who wins the prizes over the weekend, there's been some fab entries, great inspiration, and I can recommend a hop over to look at the gallery to see all the wonderful ideas on offer.

Have a good Sunday, I'm all crafted out - for now!

ILWS Cinderella Effect

There's a great challenge going on over at ILWS it's called the Cinderella Effect as it was set up for all us poor (literally LOL) Demo's who couldn't go the ball this weekend i.e. Stampin' Up! first European Convention, being held in Germany. So to give us all something to do (it's also open for non-Demo's too) there a whole load of challenges going on, 6 for yesterday, 6 today and one biggie which finishes tomorrow. Hop over for a look.

I managed to enter three challenges yesterday, the card above was for the "Modern Winter Card" challenge.

The second challenge I did was the "Place Names" and I did these fun ones for my family:

Recipe:

Stamps - All in the Family, Seeing Spots

Cardstock - Tempting Turquoise, Orchid Opulence, Only Orange

Ink & markers - Tempting Turquoise, Brilliant Blue, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac, Only Orange, Pink Passion

And the third challenge I did was a jewellery one with added bling, so I used Fun & Fast notes on Shrink Plastic, coloured with glittery pens & made them into earrings

Had great fun and time, long time since I've done so much crafting in one day and time permitting, hope to do a couple today.
