CHNC Patterned Paper - July Challenge
http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.nz/2017/07/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper-july.html
I have used three digital papers from Beccy's Place along with an image from Beccy's Place. I paper pieced the image using the papers as well as using them on the panels. Lots of fussy cutting for this one! I varied Beccy's design to follow her suggestion to add the image to a belly band to close the card.
I think the only other fold I have attempted is my card using the flag fold card which can be found here.

Last Christmas I received a bar of chocolate from one of the local businesses in a blue packet. I kept the folder packet as I thought it would be great to recycle it for this Christmas. Since the challenge at Catch The Bug had a twist of non-traditional colours it was perfect! I printed the image out three times (one flipped so it was facing the other direction). I also printed out a sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps. Colouring of the images is with copic markers. I die-cut one of the images into a tag shape using a Tim Holtz Alterations Die. I used the tag for the reverse of the packet to add the recipients name. I bought the ribbon used on the front and on the tag (chopped in half) from a Japanese store which had craft items that I hadn't seen before in the usual stores I shop at! I also added some 3D kiwiana embellishments and two glitter stars.

Summer
Today is another wet wintry day - so it is nice to create a summery card to think about what I have got to look forward to in another few months.

Love Birds
I ended up with 3 packs of pre-printed cards when I purchased a "Treasure Chest" some time back. The treasure chest was actually a pizza box filled with lots of mystery goodies. I'm gradually using the cards by building on top of the base card.

Believe In Yourself
As a swim coach/instructor, I have plenty of use for aquatic themed cards. Sometimes, I have a swimmer who doesn't have confidence in their own abilities! This card will be given to one of these swimmers.

http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2017/07/chnc-challenge-342.html
I have used a paper from a christmas paper pad by Rosie's Studio. The image is from The Paper Shelter and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz. The stocking has been die-cut from green cardstock using a die from Memory Box. I then backed it with red cardstock - which required a bit of fussy cutting! I also added a sentiment, a star puff sticker and some round puff stickers.

One Paper Layer Only
I have to admit to struggling a bit with inspiration for this one! The theme this fortnight at Incy Wincy Designs is One Paper Layer only - and if you struggle a bit with this theme too have a look at what my fellow DT members have created here. This challenge our sponsor is cute as a button.
I used a couple of stencils from Tim Holtz together with two colours of Distress Oxide (also a Tim Holtz product!). The image from cute as a button is coloured with copic markers and Inktense Pencils. I stamped a sentiment using an acrylic stamp from Clear Impressions.

With Love This Christmas
I have had this paper for a while but always found it too overpowering colour wise for cards I was making. With this particular image and the sketch I followed, it was perfect!

Throw Kindness around like confetti
A while back I started three canvasses for my dining room wall. I completed two of them but the third one has been prepped but otherwise blank until now. The challenge at Scribbles Designs for July was just the inspiration to complete that third canvas. So, this month our theme is "Use your noodle to doodle" - simply use a doodled image or add your own doodling! There are plenty of ideas in the challenge post which you can find here.
I used an image called Throw Kindness from Scribbles Designs.
Colouring is with copic markers. I also used some Tim Holtz stencils, texture powder from Art Ingredients and mini art stones from Art Ingredients. There is also a doily behind the image that I painted with gesso and then coloured with a copic marker.
