IT'S A DELIGHTFUL DAY AT TGIFC249!

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  The team at TGIFC are doing just that with this weeks challenge.  We would LOVE (see what I did there?) to see what you have planned to celebrate Valentines Day this year and you can join us by clicking on the banner below.

Confession time...........I don't normally recognise Valentines Day, or rather, it comes and goes before I do anything about it!  My sweetie is exactly the same.  We even forget our own wedding anniversary!  Hopeless!

While my card is not strictly a Valentines Day card it does celebrate the union of two people and that is pretty special!  I went for total simplicity.  Simple stamping, no embellishments and no ribbon or twine to be seen.  I really restrained myself with colour too.  

This stamp set can be found in our Beginners Catalogue and I wanted a beginner card maker to feel that they could recreate this card easily.  I did split the card front and mount both pieces on foam strips just to add a little touch of interest visually.  Hope you can join in this week and share your Valentine/Love project with us!

If you want the supplies to recreate my project, I would be delighted to be your demonstrator.  Click on the pictures below to shop my New Zealand store 24/7!

Happy Birthday to You - tgifc247

As a card maker, I never have enough Birthday cards so I was really excited about this weeks challenge.  TGIFC247 is all about Birthdays!!  Woop!  The team have created some real beauties for you and we would love for you to share your creations with us too.  Just click on the Birthday banner below to go to the challenge site and join in.

I have used a super cute new bundle called Bonanza Buddies to create this simple card.  Apart from some die cuts and an extra layer on my card base, there are no other embellishments on this card making it super easy for anyone to create, even a beginner!

Simple cards are always a challenge for me.  It takes me all my time NOT to throw an entire catalogue of product on them!

As simple as this card is, it is chocka full of Ca-ute!!  Have you got a simple and cute card you want to share with us?  Then head to the TGIFC website and join us!

NEW YEAR, NEW COLOUR COMBO CHALLENGE #tgifc245

HAPPY 2020 to you all!  Welcome to the first TGIF challenge for the new year!  It just so happens to be a colour challenge and we would love it if you joined in with your projects too.  Simply click on the banner below to go to the challenge site and upload your project photo!

I don't mind admitting it was a rather hard challenge simply because Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss are very very similar in colour.  But that is the aim of a challenge, right?

I broke out my Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and sponges for this one.  Using Rich Razzleberry as my main colour, I sponged the ink over the mask from top to bottom of my Very Vanilla card, the heaviest concentration of ink at the top.

I then moved my masked slightly and sponged again.  I repeated that once more to create the dimensional look to the masking.  I removed the mask and sponged more ink across the top of my card to really darken it.  The mat of Very Vanilla behind this piece makes it pop against the Rich Razzleberry card base.

My sentiment was a double banger with one piece heat embossed and the other a stacked die.  I love the boldness of it against the delicate background.  So begins the replenishment of Birthday cards for the year!

If you want the supplies to recreate my project, I would be delighted to be your demonstrator.  Click on the pictures below to shop my New Zealand store 24/7!
