Good morning to you all, we have a new challenge at Allsorts where Liz has selected the theme of New - Baby, Home or other new events. We have stamps from AALL and Create to be won.
Above the card I made for eldest Grandson and wife when they moved into their new home, it was in late September so there's a bit of an Autumnal feel to it. Using large letter dies I decided on an eclipse card cutting the letters six times to give height and use a favourite AALL and Create Pinecone stamp which still seems to be available from some stockists, inking direct to stamp with Ecoline pens.
This was one was a sample made months ago when I was still a TRR/Highlight DT, the dies and matching reflections are from the Just in Case collection, a stencilled background and a computer generated sentiment.
One for Christmas Kickstart challenge, I'll confess it was totally inspired by Chris, I've made few cards the last month, with all that's gone on my heads not been in the right place. But I saw Chris's card using her new Card-io stamps and although I don't have the same ones, decided to give the few I did have a long overdue airing.

Another super trio of cards. Really love the Eclipse technique New Home card - so effective. Great theme for Allsorts. xxx
Two fabulous "New " themed cards love the eclipse technique and a wonderful snowy scene
Wow! What a treat for the eyes today. Love the eclipse card a great idea. The giraffes are so sweet for the new baby and the Christmas card is a wonderful wintry scene.
Love all the white spaces/'air-space on these cards! The deer look super like this! Enjoy the weekend!
Three beautiful cards, Brenda. The first two are perfect for the Allsorts ‘New’ theme. I love the winter scene you’ve created on your last card.

Great cards Brenda, the new home eclipse card is striking, your new baby giraffe card is stunning-so cute and like the stenciled background, great winter scene on your Christmas card!
Your eclipse card has such a striking presence, the layered letters give wonderful depth and the pinecone detail adds a perfect seasonal touch. I really like how you carried that autumnal feel into the design for your grandson’s new home. The stenciled background on your sample piece is beautifully balanced, and the reflections from the Just in Case collection add a polished finish. The Christmas Kickstart card feels fresh and heartfelt, especially knowing it was sparked by Chris’s inspiration—sometimes those moments of creative connection bring out the most meaningful work.
All three are beautiful Brenda and as usual hard to select a favorite as I do love each one and they are so fitting for each occasion!
All beautiful cards and stamps, love the fabulous eclipse one, cute giraffes and CAS Christmas card.

Really like them all!
I am a fan of eclipse cards!
The giraffes are cute and your winter scene is fabulous!
Lovely cards today, your new baby card is very cute and I love your wintry scene. I have recently made a new home and a new baby card, so I must try and find time to join you at Allsorts with at least one of them xx
Gorgeous cards Brenda. I love those sweet giraffes and the gorgeous wintery scene. 6 layers of letters on your New Home card is so effective - it looks great.

These are really lovely cards. I like the new home card and how you stamped over the letters. It's a really interesting look. And those giraffes are so sweet. They're perfect for a baby card. And that's a wonderful Christmas card. I'd be tempted to give it a try too. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika
What a wonderful trio, Brenda! I need to try my hand at the eclipse technique, never attempted it before... Lovely CAS design with the Cardio stamps too. x
Wow! What a great eclipse card, sweet giraffes, and beautiful snow scene (my favourite 😍), I’ll have to go back and look at Chris’s one. I’m not surprised your heads all over the place! Take care xxx
Three fabulous and so different cards Brenda. Love the eclipse one. I must try them more often.
More fabulous card Brenda- considering all you have been through recently you would have been justified in sitting these challenges out- most people would have done! But no, you come up trumps as usual. Really love the new home one, a beautiful inset design, the giraffe family make a sweet new baby card. The snow scene is beautiful too- these stamps are so versatile and can make the same designs look totally different. I consider it a real compliment that you were inspired by my design and thanks for the mention.

Wonderful trio of cards, really love the new home one
