I have to be up early but well OK it shouldn't be quite this early! But I think I'm so excited about going to Birmingham to the Craft Hobby & Stitch International Show I just can't sleep. So if I can't sleep that means I can craft!! So here's a couple of early morning cards. The hardest part was photographing them in the dark. This first one was inspired by challenges at:
Case Study Challenge - #78 Karola Witczak
Dutch Dare Card Challenge - distressing
Cute card Thursday - flower power
Charisma Cardz - Happy Anniversary
I love the embossed detail on the cream card, it just adds that little something.
Supplies used:
Card blank - Craftwork Cards
Card stock - Core'dinations Core Impressions Jenni Bowlin Everyday Collection, Core'dinations Tim Holtz Kraft Core, Kraft from PTI
Patterned paper - damask desings, distressed dots, bitty dots basic all PTI
Flowers - SVG from Laina Lamb cut on the eCraft
Die - double ended banner from PTI
Stamp - damask designs
So early morning crafting must suit me as here's card number 2!! This one was inspired by the challenges at:
A Passion for Papertrey - stripes
Allsorts challenge - anything goes
Supplies used - all PTI
Card - stampers select white, pure poppy
Patterned paper - beautiful blooms
Stamps - enjoy the ride

Ribbon - Hawaiian shore
And one more for good luck :-) My butterfly stamping obsession continues. I'm still loving masking the butterflies, the make such cute and simple cards. This card was inspired by challenges at:
Papercraft Star - Butterflies
C.R.A.F.T. challenge - no designer papers
Supplies used - all PTI:
Card - stampers select white card

So I'd better tidy my desk and then go and pack those last minute bits. I'll be so busy over the next week I probably won't get time to blog but I'll tell you all about the show and maybe even a few sneek peaks as soon as I can. What I can tell you is that we're previewing some very exciting new products, some that have been flown in especially for the show!!
Have a great weekend.
Love ya

Don't you just love it when you can use that 'bonus' time for crafting! Lovely work. I particularly love the last one - the stamping is so beautifully done :)
A lovely set of cards. Like how you cut the car from the striped paper. So cute.
Those butterflys are darling.
Fab cards, especially love the paper piecing on the car & the masked butterflies. Have fun at the show!

You sure had a busy morning! I love all your cards. I had to smile at your second one, because I had that same set out this morning, working on a card for Make it Monday. And, I think my fave is your third one. I've been into butterflies lately, too, and I love your idea of masking them. Pinning that one to case.

Wow! What gorgeous early morning cards Claire! I hate to think what mine would look like!
One of these days I'll get to that show!

I thought I posted yesterday to tell you how much I loved your cards, but I don't see the comment. Anyhoo...I loved that little card card I made one myself this morning, and thought you might like to see it. Thanks, again, for the inspiration. http://cards-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-cards-for-four-challenges.html
