Woodware challenge - paper pieced Christmas

This card is made using one of the new Woodware Christmas stamps JGS196 Rocking horse.

A card made by Kim Reygate using the same stamp inspired me to make a similar one.

I've used the wording on the stamp set to create a text background which has

been stamped onto pink paper.

Woodware challenge - One colour wonder

A simple card in blues using JGS173 Primular wreath stamp.

I've coloured it in with Sakura Stardust pens which give a wonderful shimmer.

Embossed in gold onto linen card it also has a neat gold frame made from a peel off.

The greeting comes from another stamp set.

Woodware challenge - trio of Christmas tags

My tags have been made with hand cut tag shapes using craft card.

I have used my Woodware set JGS419 We Three Kings which have

been stamped and gold embossed.

I have cut out the crowns and stuck them on to the tags with silicone glue

and then added liquid pearls onto the crowns.

The little text stamp that comes with the set is used to stamp the panels in green ink.

woodware challenge - sketch 45

A very girlie card for a fashion conscious teenager!

I have used a Dutch Doobadoo stencil on the top panel, a text stamp on the

lower panel and my trainer stamp set JGS389.

I've used a Copic marker to create the dots on the shoes and have

added pink glitter glue to the laces.

here is the sketch 

Woodware challenge - texture, texture, texture

My texture is on my background.

I've used a Dutch Doobadoo stencil and Dreamweaver white embossing paste

to create the look and feel of snow.

The image is a new stamp from Woodware, code JGS199, a cute little house on a hill.

Woodware challenge - Mechanical designs

Rather than a card with moving parts I have made a card with cogs and wheels to show the 'mechanical' design.

The design is embossed onto a heart shaped piece of metal using a Dreamweaver stencil.

Coloured with dye ink and I've added some clock parts too.

The Mirror Cracked challenge - make a mask

Woodware are again sponsoring The Mirror Crack'd Blog

The Craft Barn in South Nutfield stock these paper mache masks among other

wood and paper mache products ready to decorate.

The pack of seed beads and fine glitter come from Stix2 and I had some

large clear, flat backed gems in my stash.

I covered the mask with Dreamweaver silver embossing paste, half at a time

and decorated first with the large gems pushing them into the thick paste.

Then sprinkled the large beads over the wet paste, then the seed beads and finally the glitter.

Repeat with the other side taking care not to touch the other half as it will still be wet.

I guarantee you will have seed beads and glitter everywhere on your work surface, but hey...its great fun and the mask is really stylish and sparkly!
