Stamp with fun #52 – DT card

This week over at stamp with fun challenge we have a fantastic sketch designed by Tina46.  For my card I used an image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Lucas and Freddo’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  If you pop over to DigiStamp Boutique you can get this image (along with 3 others) on special offer – but hurry this only lasts for March!  The leaf pattern paper is imaginisce, the striped paper is 3 bugs in a rug and the plain paper is from my stash.  The plain card is SU chocolate chip.  I ran the plain piece of paper through the CB using my swiss dots embossing folder.  The ribbon is also SU and the brads are from my stash.  The adhesive stones are from Joanna Sheen. 

The rest of the DT have created some amazing cards once again this week, so if you get the chance please pop over and leave them a nice comment.

I’m entering my card into the following challenges:

Pile it on challenge – animal-riffic

Creative card crew challenge – going dotty (embossed panel and brads)

Simple doodles challenge – add some layers

Paper garden projects challenge – embossing

Hope you have chance to pop back later to see my cupcake craft challenge DT card.  Thanks for stopping by.

Penny black #39/OSCC #19/Dutch dare #39

Here I go again combining challenges again! Even though I've been off work for 4 days I've been out and about with my mum and friends as I don't normally have a chance when I'm working. It's been great I've been shopping to Cardiff and Ikea, and for coffee and a chat with friends from work and of course a little craft shopping along the way haha. Anyway onto the card, I'm entering this one for the penny black challenge this week, which is a recipe '3 brads, 2 ribbons and 1 flower', the OSCC is 'sorry' and coincidentally the dutch dare challenge is 'sorry I forgot'. I stamped my new penny black 'roses on the run' image and coloured it with my pro-markers, adding stickles to the roses. The dp is 3 bugs in a rug (and I've used both sides for this card). The 2 pieces of ric-rac ribbon, brads and flower are from my stash and the sentiment was created on the pc. I even dug out my liquid pearls for a change and added some dots around the place. I hope you like, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by.

PB #38 /sketch & stash #5

This is my card for this week's PB saturday challenge, which is 'something to eat' and the sketch & stash challenge which is obviously a sketch. Now I don't have that many PB stamps (I know shocker!) so I had to be creative this week. I used the fishing image as I thought the hedgies are obviously trying to catch fishies for their tea!! So I stamped the fishing image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is 3 bugs in a rug and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The ribbon and brads are from my stash and the sentiment is stamping bella. I used my new woodware retro labels punch to cut out the sentiment panel. Thanks for looking.

Crafty Muse Challenge

I made this card for a friend in work and used the sketch from this week's crafty muse challenge. I stamped the Missy B designs stamp (which I bought from dies to die for) and coloured him with my pro-markers. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the dp is by 3 bugs in a rug. The sentiment is by hero arts and the brads are from my stash. The adhesive gems are from QVC. Thanks for looking.

My Time To Craft #43/One Stop Craft challenge #11

This week's MTTC challenge is 'food, glorious food' and the OSCC is 'take a punch'. I used a download from Pollycraft called Benji's Birthday and coloured him with my pro-markers. The dp is double-sided and is by 3 bugs in a rug. The lime dp is from the papermill shop. The adhesive dots are from a kit from QVC and the sentiment was done on my pc. I used my marvy punches for the square scallop that the sentiment is on and the circles that the small cupcakes are on. By the way the small cupcakes are a stamp by Westwater Enterprises which I stamped three times and cut out and added to my card with foam pads. Thanks for looking.

Pink Cat Studio Contest/Secret Crafter Challenge #13/Papertake challenge

I made this card for three challenges this week. The first one is the Pink Cat Studio contest for which you had to download the black and white Lily pic, colour her however you like and make a card (the contest end 13th January - just click the link for more info). The second challenge is the secret crafter challenge #13 which is a sketch and the third challenge was the papertake challenge which was 'seeing spots'. I obviously downloaded the Lily image and coloured her with my pro-markers and added sakura glaze pen to the flower. I also used my white gel pen to highlight certain areas. The dp by 3 bugs in a rug is double sided and I used both sides. The pink cs is from the papermill shop and the sentiment is by WOJ. The buttons are by doodlebug. Thanks for looking.

A trio of flowers

Here is another card I made for a friend at work. I stamped the verve visual flower and stem three times using my marvy markers. I used dp by 3 bugs in a rug and plain cs from the papermill shop. The sentiment was done on my pc and the adhesive stones are papermania. A very simple card but it looks quite effective IRL. Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday Shelley

It is Shelley's birthday tomorrow so I made her a card and matching image folder. As she lives in France it obviously took a while for them to get to her, but I know she has now received them so I can safely post them on my blog. The first picture shows the card and image folder together. I made them matching 'cos I think they look cute when they look the same. I used two gorgeous images sent to me by Michelle that I coloured with my pro-markers. I thought the little girl looked a little parisienne with her beret. The fab dp is by 3 bugs in a rug and the plain cs is bazzill. The adhesive dots are from a kit by QVC. The happy birthday sentiment is by stamping bella and the sentiment on the wallet is by verve visual. The ribbon is from my stash.

The second photo shows the card and also the wallet open with the images inside. I sent Shelley all Christmas images, as I thought they would come in handy. I sent her some spiral whisper images, elzybells and penny black images.

I also sent her some flowers, gems, ribbon and an ink pad (which I didn't photograph) and she's over the moon with her surprise parcel. So Shelley have a fantastic birthday and I can't wait to see what you make with your goodies. Thanks for looking.
