Cupcake craft challenge #193–DT card

Well hello dear friends – long time no speak!!  I’m sorry I haven’t posted for such a long time but I’ve not been feeling very well plus I’ve had problems with my internet connection.  To be honest I’ve been feeling so low I’ve even considered giving up crafting – I know shocker!  However I’ve decided to cut back on some of my DT work and concentrate on just a few DT teams and hopefully my love of crafting will return.  I think that I’ve over committed myself and have been really struggling over the last few months, but now that I’ve taken steps to rectify the problems hopefully things will start to look up very soon.  The only problem now is that my mojo seems to have taken the break badly and doesn’t want to return to work lol!

Ok, enough rambling from me this morning, let’s share my card!!  It’s time for a brand new challenge over at cupcake craft challenge and I have the honour of setting the theme.  I have chosen “book lover” as my theme so would like to see either images that feature a book, maybe a bookmark or even use pages from an old book as your background.  I decided to use an image that includes a book and here is my card:

CCC challenge 193 - book lover

CCC challenge 193 - book lover (close up)

The image is Some Odd Girl and is called “bookish Tia” and I coloured her with promarkers and flex markers (although I’ve just noticed I haven’t coloured her hand lol!).  The papers are echo park from the ‘be mine’ paper pad (I thought the text paper looked like something from an old manuscript) and the plain card is from eBay.  The butterflies are die-namics dies and the gems are from MeiFlower

We have two sponsors this week – firstly we have A Day for Daisies who are offering one lucky winner a $12 gift card and our second sponsor is Make the Day Special who are offering one lucky winner 2 Paper Smooches stamp sets (‘Smarty Pants’ & ‘Metropolis’).

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Some Odd Girl challenge – sketch

Cute card Thursday challenge – a touch of sparkle

Truly scrumptious challenge – anything goes

I love promarkers challenge – anything goes

Addicted to stamps challenge – black, white & 1 other colour (pink)

Pile it on challenge – patterns: mix your scales

Stampin’ sisters in Christ challenge – build up your card (i.e. add layers)

I hope you can join in with my challenge and I cannot wait to visit your blogs and see your gorgeous creations.  In my absence I have had 4 new followers, which I would like to welcome – Gunn’s kort, Jane Brown, topcatcool, and elainea1.  Thanks for joining my happy band of followers – I really appreciate your support and I hope you will stop by often.  I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by.

Cupcake craft challenge #189–DT card

Oh dear, I’m a little later than normal sharing my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge, I just don’t know where the week has gone!!  Our theme this week has been set by the lovely Maarit and she has chosen “material girl” (I bet you’re all singing Madonna’s song now lol!)  Maarit wants you to use some form of material on your creations week so let’s see how adventurous you can be!  I decided to be quite reserved (‘cos I couldn’t think of anything else) and I used felt!  Here is my card:

CCC challenge 189 - material girl

CCC challenge 189 - material girl (close up)

I’m sorry my pictures are so bad, but I really struggled to get a decent one!  I decided to go CAS on the layout and didn’t use any patterned paper at all – I know shock horror!  The image is a super cute penny black stamp called ‘ladybug & hedgehog’ and I coloured it with promarkers.  I used kraft card from dies to die for and two different embossing folders.  The flower and chevrons were both cut out of felt, also from dies to die for.  I didn’t add a sentiment as I thought it could be suitable for lots of different occasions. 

We have two sponsors this week, first we have Digi Doodle Shop and they are offering one lucky winner a $10.00 gift certificate to spend in their online store.  Our second sponsor is Quixotic Paperie and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Addicted to stamps challenge – cakes and/or stitching

Paper sundaes challenge – let’s get cute

Kaboodle challenge – emboss it

The pink elephant challenge – hello sunshine (use yellow)

Deep ocean challenge – use punches/dies

Crafts and me challenge – embossing

Fab n funky challenge – no D.P.

My mum’s craft shop challenge – the great outdoors

Penny black Saturday challenge – no patterned paper

Crafter’s companion challenge – four legged friends

The challenge ends on Sunday at 8pm so you still have plenty of time to get your entries in.  I’m sure you can come up with something much more exciting and imaginative than I did and I really look forward to seeing what material you have used on your creations.  I’m off to do the boys packed lunch ready for school and then will be hitting the sack!!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Passion for promarkers #146–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope the weather is better where you are than it is here as it’s wet and wild and staying that way all week if the forecasters are to be believed.  However that’s why crafting is the perfect hobby in this weather as you can stay indoors nice and snug and wile away the hours in your crafting area. 

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge and this week the lovely Nic has set the theme of “cut it out”, so basically we want to see all your die cuts.  I’m sure it will be a popular theme.  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 146 - cut it out

Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.

I used a super cute freebie image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called ‘snowy day’ and coloured it with promarkers.  I have been dying to use this image for ages and now I have I will definitely be using it again and it was lovely colour and really easy to cut out.  I embossed a piece of white card with my swiss dots embossing folder and just added a strip of doodlebug paper to break it up.  Quite a simple card but I’m quite pleased with the finished result.

Charisma cardz challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I cannot believe it’s Thursday already, the week is flying by, although I’m not complaining!!  Work is super busy at the moment and the day just whizzes by, which is fantastic, although I do think I’m wishing my life away lol!

It’s time for a brand new challenge over at charisma cardz challenge and it’s Team Gem’s week to share their cards.  The lovely Joyce has set the theme this week and she has chosen “fancy folds”.  Now as I was a bit tight for time I played it safe and made an easel card although I do find them extremely difficult to photograph and I forgot to take a ‘side-on’ view!  Here is my card:

charisma cardz #14 - fancy folds (view 2) 

charisma cardz #14 - fancy folds (view 1)

charisma cardz #14 - fancy folds (close up)

I have used a super gorgeous new image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Hoop Rosie’ from the April offer of the month set called ‘funtime Rosie’ which is available for a special price until the end of the month.  There are 3 images in the set and all are equally as cute as this one.  I coloured the image with promarkers and had a go at doing a cloud background with chalks.  I will try using my promarkers in the future but it was really quick using the chalks (and my finger tip!).  I have to say I am really chuffed with the clouds as it was only my second time of doing it.  The pretty pastel papers are my mind’s eye from the “dwell” 6x6 paper pad.

We have two sponsors this week.  Firstly we have Some Odd Girl who are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice.

Our second sponsor is Digi Doodle Shop and 2 winners will receive a $5.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Passion for Promarkers #144–DT card

Happy Tuesday dear friends.  Oh dear it’s back to work for me today *groan* but on the plus side it’s a shorter working week *yay*.  Another plus is that it’s time for a brand new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge.  This week the lovely Maya has set the theme and she has chosen “white on white”, such a pretty theme isn’t it.  We only want to see your image coloured, all your papers/card must be white but we will allow lightly inked edges!  The only problem with WOW cards is photographing them (and you know that’s not my strongest area anyway lol!).  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 144 - white on white

PFP challenge 144 - white on white (close up)

I have used a beautiful stamp from Crafts and Me called ‘city girl’ and coloured her with promarkers.  It is a brand new stamp and even though I stamped it about 4 times I couldn’t get a perfect impression.  I even tried blotting the stamp with cellotape to try and remove any residue – any ideas for next time I use it!  I went a bit mad with all the dies I used including Marianne creatables rolled roses, die-namics butterflies and die-namics border die.  The embossing folder is from sizzix and is called ‘folksy fun’.  I inked the edges with a cats eye chalk ink pad and added some white pearls to finish. 

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive a Promarker Stamping Kit.

Stamp with fun #156–DT card

Oops sorry I got mixed up with my days and forgot to schedule my posts this morning lol!  Anyway Happy Easter Monday dear friends.  I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and ate lots of lovely yummy chocolate.  I was quite reserved for me (only because I didn’t have very much) but the boys had lots of eggs and sweets as usual.  I’m sure I can sneak a few bits off them when they’re not looking lol! 

I’m here this morning to share my card for the stamp with fun challenge and this week we have a fantastic sketch to follow.  I needed to make a card for an order so this sketch was perfect for me – here is my card:

SWF #156 - sketch

and here is the sketch:

SWF #156 sketch

My auntie ordered this card to give to her great-grandson who’s football mad so I used this super cute image from Pollycraft called “skills” and coloured it with my promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are a bit of mish mash!  The striped yellow paper is SU from the ‘subtle paper patterns stack’ and the other pieces of paper/card are from my piles of off cuts!  I found the footballs whilst searching on Google images and I’m really pleased with them.  They will definitely come in handy for future football themed cards.  The finished card is A5 in size.

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples as always so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

You can tell I’m not in work lol!

As the title says you know I’m not in work because I’m actually posting cards lol!  I wanted to share a card I actually made when I was GDT over at the Sweet Stampin’ challenge but didn’t get around to posting at the time!  I made a circle card for a change and used a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary called “Whispy”.  Here is my card:

cards6 002

cards6 005

Isn’t this image just adorable.  I coloured her with promarkers and flex markers and cut her out.  The pretty dotty paper has been in my stash for years – I think it was in a super duper 12x12 pad that I got from QVC when I first started crafting!!  To make the card base I used a extra large scallop circle die from go-kreate.  The doily is from Joanna Sheen and the stunning gingham ribbon is from fantastic ribbons

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Saturated canary challenge – Doilies

Pile it on challenge – spots or stripes or both

Stampin’ sisters in Christ challenge – things with wings

Stamps and fun = creativity challenge – one bow

Ladybug crafts ink challenge – pink and girly

Papertake challenge – anything goes

Crafts and me challenge – things with wings

I love promarkers challenge – ribbons and bows

A gem of a challenge – perfect pastels (hope it’s ok that I used some black too!)

Allsorts challenge – spread your wings

I hope you’re all having a great day so far.  The weather here has been "mixed” shall we say, ranging from torrential rain to bright sunshine and then gale force winds but at least it’s sunny for the time being.  I may be back later with another card – I know I’m going from one extreme to the other but I have to make the most of the time to catch up on some cards I haven’t had chance to share with you.  Until then have a brilliant day and thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate your lovely comments.

Charisma cardz #8–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my PFP/Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello again dear friends.  I’m back with a very late DT card for charisma cardz challenge (I should have posted it last Thursday – what am I like – I’m getting worse I think lol!).  The theme is “masking” and if you’re not sure how to achieve this technique here is a link to a simple tutorial by Beate Johns on SCS, although if I can do it I think most people can haha!.   I decided to use two older stamps from sugar nellie from the gorjuss girls range, which are still firm favourites of mine.  Here is my card:

charisma cardz #8 - masking

charisma cardz #8 - masking (close up)

The images I used are ‘just a girl’ and ‘sitting’ and I coloured them with promarkers and flex markers,  The gorgeous papers are first edition from the ‘hideaway’ paper pad and I coloured the doily with a cats eye chalk ink pad to match my papers.  I added a memory box flourish and some lollipop flowers and I was done.  I really like the sunshine-y feel to this card, especially as they are not colours I would normally use.

Our sponsors this week are Simon Says stamp who are offering a $20.00 voucher to spend in their online store and Pink Cat Studio who are offering a prize of 5 digi images. 

The rest of the design team have created amazing cards as always (and Jenni and myself used the same images on our cards lol!).  Please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

PFP #139/stamp with fun #151

Good morning dear friends.  I’m sorry for the long absence between posts, I wasn’t feeling 100% last week and had a really bad headache all week.  Fortunately I’m feeling better this week (so far) but that could have something to do with the fact that I have a week off work *woohoo*. 

However I’m still dis-organised and have had to combine two of my DT cards – stamp with fun challenge this week is “pink & green” and the new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge (which I have chosen) is “for mum/female relative”.  I thought I would give you a head start in making your mother’s day cards as it’s only 12 days away!!  However I’m also aware that some of you sadly don’t have a mother to celebrate with so will accept cards for any female relative.  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 139 - mother's day or female relative 

PFP challenge 139 - mother's day or female relative (close up)

I did have every intention of making a mother’s day card but when my auntie asked me to make her a 2nd birthday card for her great grand-daughter I used this card instead as time was against me (as usual)!  The image is from DigiStamp Boutique and is from the ‘Fairy Hattie collection’.  I coloured her with promarkers and added stickles to her wings.  The papers are do crafts from the gorgeous forever friends ‘new arrival’ designstax and the plain card is SU pink pirouette.  I used a Marianne die for the rolled roses and a die-namics die for the number 2.

Our sponsor this week is the lovely Emma from Crafty Emma’s store and she is offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher (excl. p&p) to spend in her online store.
