Passion for promarkers week 13 – DT card

Over at passion for promarkers challenge we are already on week 13 and the colour combo this week is prussian and pumpkin and was chosen by the lovely Sarah.  However there is an added twist of a halloween theme.  Now I must admit this colour combo was not my favourite but overall I’m quite pleased with how the card turned out.  I stamped the stampendous changito image and coloured it with the following promarkers:

monkey – cinnamon and cocoa

lantern – pumpkin and orange

cape – prussian and blender

shading – cool grey 1

The gorgeous papers are both doodlebug and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the ‘boo’ was created with stickers by me & my big ideas.  The ghost was cut in the cuttlebug with a sizzix sizzlit.  The adhesive stones are PM.

Our sponsor this week is Hotshot Crafts and the lucky winner will have £10.00 to spend in their online shop.  I hope you will all find the time to play along this week.  I will catch up with all your comments on my return for hols.  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Sketch Saturday #63

Here is my entry for this week’s sketch saturday challenge.  I stamped my new greeting farm image ‘sheriff Ian’ and coloured him with promarkers.  The dotty paper is from the dovecraft masculine paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment is stampendous and the ribbon and brads are from my stash.  The ‘splat’ shapes are cut with a woodware punch and the paper used for these is doodlebug.  I’m just getting organised for our family holiday.  We are leaving tomorrow morning and I haven’t even packed yet lol!  I hope you won’t forget me and will come back on Monday and Tuesday as I will schedule my DT cards for the CCC and PFP challenges.  It’s our anniversary over at cupcake this week and there are exciting things planned – you don’t want to miss them (that’s all I’m saying!).  I can’t believe my bad timing going away and missing all the fun.  Thanks for all your interest in my candy – don’t forget to keep spreading the word as it doesn’t end until after I’m back off my hols.  Thanks for stopping by today.  See you in a week!

Pile It On #9/Papertake challenge

I hope you’re all enjoying the glorious weather we having at the moment.  My card is lovely and summery today, just perfect for papertake challenge this week which is ‘four seasons’.  I’m also entering my card for the pile it on challenge which is ‘at least 3 flowers’.  I stamped my new elzybells image called ‘sunflower fun’ and coloured her with promarkers.  The large sunflower is also an elzybells image and was stamped three times and coloured with promarkers.  The gingham paper is craft creations and the flowery paper is by imagination project.  The plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment is stampendous and I used my SU oval punches to cut it out.   Enjoy the weekend, thanks for stopping by today. 

OSCC #33

** This is my second post for today - scroll down to see my other post -

you know you want to!!**

This week's challenge over at one stop craft challenge is 'add some sparkle' and recently my sister asked me to make a wedding card and it fits this challenge perfectly. I stamped the stampendous image and coloured it with my promarkers adding highlights to her bouquet with a sakura stardust pen. The dp is DCWV from the wedding stack and the mirri card is from my stash. The flowers and ribbon are also from my stash and the adhesive pearls are kanban. The sentiment was created on my pc. The circles were cut out with a woodware punch and then run through the CB with the hearts embossing folder. My sister loved it, so I'm happy. Thanks for stopping by.

CCT #62

This is my card for this week's challenge over at cute card thursday, which is 'bit o bling'. I stamped the stampendous image and coloured it with my promarkers adding highlights with a sakura stardust pen. The dp is all DCWV from the wedding stack and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment was created on the pc and the hearts were punched out with an x-cut punch. The adhesive stones are PM.

I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for the excellent response over at Passion for Promarkers, we've had an amazing number of entries to the first challenge already and the cards are stunning. Don't forget you can enter as many times as you like. Pop over to the blog to see the fantastic prizes up for grabs. Thanks for stopping by.

Meet Ruby.....

This is one of the new digi-images available at DigiStamp Boutique. Sally-Ann has come up trumps this time as these images (there are 3 different ones) are really cute and girly. I printed out Ruby fairy and coloured her with my promarkers, adding stickles to her wings. The dp is mainly freebies from a card magazine except for the tiny piece behind the image which is doodlebug. The flowers and stars were punched out of the dp and I doodled around practically everything (lol) with a fineliner pen. The sentiment is by stampendous and the adhesive stones are PM.
I'm also going to enter this card for two challenges this week - charisma cardz #19 where the theme is 'a star is born' and SCSC #32 which is 'glitter'. Thanks for stopping by.

Dutch Dare #48

This is a card I made for an order at work but it also fits the challenge over at dutch dare this week, which is blue, white + 1 colour. I stamped the stamping bella image 'emmybella' and coloured her with promarkers. The dp is BG from the boxer paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The silk flowers and ribbon are from my stash and the smaller flowers were punched out with my ek success punch. The adhesive stones are PM and the scalloped edge was cut with fiskars decorative scissors. The sentiment is stampendous. Thanks for stopping by.

Cupcake Craft Challenge

It was my turn this week to choose a theme for the CCC so I decided to choose a card for a man or a boy, as they are usually so difficult to make for. It was my son's 15th birthday last Friday so as I had to make a card for him I combined the two. Now it's not my usual type of card but my son is a drummer in a band called 'zenith 7' (hence the Z on the drumkit) and he is into rock music so I thought dark and grungy was the way to go - thankfully he loved it! I stamped the drumkit and 'you rock' sentiment from a clear stamp set by stampendous called 'rock out' and the skull & cross bones and star stamps are from a clear set by kars called 'rocky star'. The dp is DCWV and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The images were coloured with promarkers and the ribbon and charm are from my stash. The happy birthday sentiment is stamping bella and I used a studio g alphabet set to stamp my son's name. The number stickers are also DCWV.

Now you may have noticed it's my blogoversary today - I can't believe that one year has gone by since I started this blog - and boy has my crafting come a long way (I hope lol). I have lots of lovely goodies to offer very soon but I think I will wait until the Passion for Promarkers candy and DT call are over so that my candy can be placed at the top of my blog for all to see. I hope you can wait a little longer for some lovelyness!! Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch saturday #46

This is a card that I made for the sketch over on this week's sketch saturday challenge. However I have now noticed that I've put the sentiment in the wrong place so I'll understand if it's not eligible. (I'm really have a "blonde" week this week - no offence to blondes out there lol). I used my new FF image and coloured him with my pro-markers. The dp is all BG from the cupcake paper pad and the sentiment is stampendous. The adhesive stones are PM. I'll be back later with another card. Thanks for stopping by.

Wedding card..... and a happy birthday!

This is a card that I made for an order in work. I stamped the stampendous image and coloured it with my pro-markers, adding highlights with a sakura stardust pen. The dp is PM from the scrumptious paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The hearts were punched out with an x-cut punch and the sentiment was created on the pc. The adhesive stones are also PM.

I would also like to wish my mother a very happy birthday today (love you lots Mammy) and hope she has a lovely evening with my dad. Mwah Mwah!! Thanks for stopping by

The two pieces of purple dp are from the nanna's nursery (boy) pad by DCWV. The sentiment is by stampendous and the adhesive stones are PM.

Gina's birthday

I made a card for Gina's birthday and now that she has put photo's on her blog I am safe to show it here. For the card I used an image kindly sent to me by Diane and coloured it with my pro-markers (I also highlighted a few areas with a white gel pen). The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the dotty dp is a free download (but I can't remember from where). The flowers are from my stash, the ribbon is Anita's and the adhesive stones are papermania. The sentiment is by stampendous. The top pic also shows the matching image folder and notebook that I made. On the image folder I used my cropadile to make the hole for my ribbon to tie (and also one of the fancy eyelets that came in the starter pack). Both sentiments on the folder and notebook are by verve visual. Thanks for looking.

90th birthday (part 3)

This is the 3rd 90th birthday card that I made. I stamped the image by stampendous using my marvy markers. The plain green paper was in a paper stack that I got from QVC a long time ago and the gingham dp is by magenta. The ribbon and flower are from my stash and the adhesive stones are by papermania. I used my pc for the sentiment. Thanks for looking.

One Pretty Kitty!

I made this card for my friend in work as it was her birthday on Thursday. I stamped the kitty image by cc designs and coloured the crown and collar with my pro-markers. The dotty dp was a free download from mad about cards and the green cs is from the papermill shop. The pretty kitty sentiment is also by cc designs and the birthday sentiment is by stampendous. The adhesive gems are by papermania. Thanks for looking.

Look what I got!!!!

I've taken part in the Secret Sister swap organised by Michelle at The Card Grotto and I received my parcel on Friday. Wow! I am totally gobsmacked by all the lovely things that my secret sister has sent me. Right I'm taking a deep breath - a gorgeous card, a book made with the bind-it-all which is out of this world, an accordian book in a heart shaped tin by foof-a-la, a basic grey tag book, 2 sets of clear stamps, a single cc designs stamp, a complete set of cc designs stamps, a single wood mounted stamp by stampendous, a set of funky brads by papermania and last but not least 3d winter epoxy stickers. I am still in shock. The photo is really bad because there was too much to fit in :0) I would like to say a BIG (HUGE) thank you to my secret sister - I have no idea who you are but I can't wait to find out to say my thank you's in person (so to speak). I also would like to say thanks to Michelle for organising us all, you are a treasure!! I'm off to look at everything again hehe. Thanks for looking.

Another wedding card!!

I made this card for a friend in work. I stamped the stampendous image with versafine black onyx ink and added some bling with a sakura stardust pen. I used plain cream cs from the papermill shop and gold mirri cs from ebay. I ran the cream cs through the cuttlebug with my divine swirl embossing folder. As the piece was slightly larger than the folder I ended up with a join so I cut a piece of gold mirri cs and punched that with my fiskars threading water punch to make a decorative panel to cover the join. I used my pc for the sentiment and adhesive gems from QVC. The ribbon was from my stash. Sorry about the "wonky" photo, I was obviously having a bad day hehe!! Thanks for looking.

I did promise you another wedding card!

Yet another wedding card. I made this for a friend at work who was going to a family wedding in Ireland (hence the weird and wonderful names). The colours were taken from the invitation she received. I stamped the image by stampendous and coloured it with my pro-markers, I also added stickles to the dress. I used the heart blocks embossing folder in my cuttlebug for the top of my card and plain bazzill bling cs for the bottom. The ribbon is by american crafts and the adhesive gems are by papermania. I used my pc for the sentiment. Thanks for looking.

Penny Black & Sketch Saturday Challenge

The Penny Black challenge this week was "down on the farm" and the sketch saturday challenge was obviously to follow a sketch. I stamped flower chicky and coloured her in with my pro-markers. All dp is from the cabana paper pack by Inque Boutique (I'm loving this paper). I used plain cs from the papemill shop and the stamped sentiment is by stampendous. I got the flower from some candy a little while ago and the finshing touch was decorative gems that I got from QVC. Thanks for looking.

CCT & Penny Black challenge

I've combined challenges again this week. The CCT challenge this week was "the great outdoors" and Penny Black challenge was "buttons & brads". I used a gorgeous penny black image kindly sent to me by Diane (Pink Sunflower) which I coloured with pencils. The sentiment is by stampendous. The dp is by K & Co and the flowers, buttons & brads are from my stash. Hope you like. Thanks for looking.
