My Time to Craft #76

I have to admit I have still not got back into card making.  I'm finding it really difficult for some reason.  It's annoying as I really want to make some cards however when I sit down to do it, I just can't seem to make anything! Also I seem to be spending more and more time making jewellery and have a couple of orders to make.  I find it easier to get my beads out in the evening rather than lug everything out of my cupboard! I really must take some photos and show off what I have made so far.

This weeks challenge over at My Time to Craft is "elegant rose".  However after rummaging through my stash I didn't really have anything suitable however I did have the Pocket Silhouette stamp set which has a stamp that I think looks like a stem of roses.  I wouldn't call the card elegant however it is simple and I think black and white looks elegant!

Supplies: All SU apart from the button
Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black
Ribbon: 1 1/4" Grosgrain Striped Ribbon in Basic Black

My Time to Craft #72

It's the last challenge of 2009 over at My Time to Craft and the theme is "anything goes".  I made this card on Christmas Eve when I had some time to spare although I didn't photograph it until yesterday as I wanted to use my new toy.

I used all Stampin Up goodies again.  I used my new Bella Bleu papers together with Not Quite Navy and Kraft card.  I also used my fave stamps, Pocket Silhouttes.

Supplies: Pocket Silhouettes, A Bit of Birthday Cheer, Bella Bleu DP, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White and Kraft card, Not Quite Navy ink, Eyelet Border punch.
