Bling it up challenge

Hi everyone, welcome to my new challenge "Bling it up". This challenge is sponsored by Hunkydory who have been kind enough to supply 4 kits for the prize, all of which are Christmas themed. To be in with a chance of winning all 4 kits all you have to do is make a card or project and the only rule is that you put lots of bling on your entry.  When I recieved this prize to use for a challenge I was also sent a few sheets to make samples, hope they help you with some inspiration of what you can make using the prize.

Teddy's galore

This card was for an order from a friend, who wanted a card with pink and teddie bears. I am also using this card as my sample for the MTTC "more than one fold" challenge. The card itself  is just 1 sheet of card, for the stand I scored 1", 2", 3", 5", 6" and 7" and trimmed at the 8" mark. The other part of the card was used to make the two panels, trimmed to size depending on what you are embellishing with. The images are digi images which I coloured the teddies and lettering before cutting out. I decided to just trim the large teddie and round of the corners then placed it onto some pink card to contrast.The smaller teddies I trimmed down leaving a small white border. After decorating the two pieces of card I put everything together by placing the first piece of card before the first score line and then stick the last score section to the back of this,  then added the other piece of card to the back. All that was left to do was to add all the embellishments.

Floral bouquet

I made this card for a sample for MTTC black, white and one other colour challenge over on their blog. This card is an A5 base card and was very simple to make. I recently bought the craft geek which allows you to punch accurately around the page. I will admit it took me a few attempts but I got there in the end. My chosen extra colour for this sample is jade. As you can see I stamped a border onto a piece of smooth card and before layering it onto my base card I used a spectrum noir pen which would contrast with the jade card used to ink around the edges, I also added my ribbon at this point. After doing my first layer I used one of my Spellbinder dies (labels twenty) to cut my second layer, I used a fine line pen to add a stitching effect. I then used a floral stamp for my image and coloured it with the same pen and other tones of the same colour used earlier. I cut out my image leaving a small border and then using foam pads placed it onto my die shape, I also used foam pads to layer it all onto my base card. To finish I added a few tiny gems for sparkle.
This card is also entered into Tuesday Alchemy challenge.
