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:

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

Charisma cardz/SWF challenge – DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you are all surviving the dreadful weather we’re having at the moment.  I hate the rain at the best of times but it’s starting to get on my nerves already lol!  I know that lots of other parts of the country really need rain, but it is definitely one thing we don’t need in the South Wales valleys haha!

Over at charisma cardz challenge it’s time for a brand new challenge and for Team Gemma to share their creations.  The theme has been chosen by the lovely Natalie and she would like to see your “blue, black and white” creations.  I also used the gorgeous sketch from this week’s stamp with fun challenge (I am extremely late with my card – sorry!).   Here is my card:

and here is the sketch:

I have used an image from Some Odd Girl called ‘geeky Mae’ and coloured her with promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are from the docrafts forever friends ‘new arrival’ designstax and the black card is from eBay.  The papers are a really soft pastel blue IRL but for some reason they are showing up as a blue-ish grey in the photos!  I embossed the white card with an embossing folder and added some black gems but otherwise kept the layout really simple. 

We have three sponsors this week, firstly we have DigiStamp Boutique who are offering one lucky winner 6 digi images of their choice.  Our second sponsor is Crafty Emma’s store and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store and our third sponsor is the stamping boutique who are offering 5 digis of the winner’s choice.  Certainly lots of fab reasons to join in the fun this week.

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:

and here is the 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.

Stamp with fun #155–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you all had a brilliant weekend and are raring to go for the week ahead. Unfortunately it’s back to work for me after a week off but at least it’s a short week this week as it’s a bank holiday on Friday!. I’ve got a busy week as it’s my mother’s birthday tomorrow (as well as my SIL’s step-son) and as usual I’m running late and haven’t made their cards yet lol!

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s challenge over at Stamp with Fun challenge.  The theme this week is a really simple one “anything but an Easter card”.  Here is my card:

I was asked to make this card by my cousin to give to his daughter for her 30th birthday.  The image is a stamp from Crafts and Me called ‘believe’ which I coloured with promarkers and flex markers.  Isn’t it a beautiful image and a bit more grown up than I usually use but I love it and will definitely be using it lots.  The gorgeous papers are echo park from the ‘victoria gardens’ paper pad and the stunning die cuts are spellbinders from the ‘fleur de lis accents’ set which I recently bought from the we{heart}craft shop.  I didn’t add too many embellishments as the image was quite large and the paper was so pretty I didn’t want to cover it up too much.  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:

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you have all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.  Today is the final day of my week off from work so I’m taking my mother out for some lunch and a look around the shops, although she is suffering with her arthritis in her knee at the moment so we’ll probably be having lots of coffee breaks in between (but I’m not complaining as it will be more time to chat and people watch lol!)

I’m here this morning with my card for the new challenge over at winter wonderland challenge.  This week the lovely Marianne has set the theme and she has chosen “it takes two” so she would like to see 2 people/snowmen etc in one image – fairly simple I thought until I couldn’t find any image I had with only two characters!  I had lots with 1 and equally lots with 3 but none with 2 – typical!  So after a quick nip to Pollycraft and I found a super cute image to use and here is my card:

As I said the image is from pollycraft and is called ‘snow buds’ and I coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are my mind’s eye from the ‘be merry’ paper pad and the kraft card is from dies to die for.  I punched the snowflakes with a MS punch and added cute little heart buttons from my stash.

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

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.

Cupcake craft challenge #183–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello again friends, I’m back as promised to share my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week the lovely Louise has set the theme and she has chosen “going dotty”, so a nice simple theme for you.  As long as we can see some dots you’re fine lol!  Here is my card:

The DT were fortunate to be given an image from our sponsor this week and I have used “Murray” from Saturated Canary and coloured her with a mixture of promarkers and flex markers.   I’m sorry the pics are so dark but this was the best I could get as I took them in the wee early hours!!  I used papers from two different pads – the text paper is from echo park ‘victoria gardens’ paper pad and the dotty paper is my mind’s eye ‘dwell’ paper pad.  I also added some buttons which I thought looked like ‘dots’ of colour.

We have two sponsors this week - Saturated Canary is offering a prize of 2 digis and Crafts U Love are offering a £15.00 gift voucher.

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.

Stamp with Fun #152–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you had a great weekend, the weather here was really pleasant and I even dried some washing on the line (sad I know to be excited about that lol!)  I cannot believe that my week off work went so fast and I’m back in work again today – I really need to win the lottery I think haha!

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s Stamp with Fun challenge and this week we have a lovely sketch to use designed by Andrea-Emmi41.  It has nice clean lines and layers which is my favourite type of sketch.  Here is my card:

I rotated the sketch as it worked better with my image that way.  I was asked by a friend at work to make a baby congrats card for a grandmother so I used a super cute image by Mo Manning called ‘baby and bunny’ and coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are from the docrafts forever friends ‘new arrival’ designstax and the kraft card is from dies to die for. 

We have a prize up for grabs this week which is kindly offered by Tina and one lucky winner will receive this stamp:

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:

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.

Cupcake craft challenge #181–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend – the weather was so spring like here and looking out the window you would be mistaken for thinking it was April or May, although there was quite a nip in the air.  Can’t complain for the end of February though can we?

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week I have the honour of setting the theme and chose “boys and their toys” which is the complete opposite to Keeley’s girly challenge last week!!  Here is my card:

I used a super cute image from Pollycraft called ‘skills’ and coloured him with promarkers and flex markers.  The paper is my mind’s eye from the ‘kraft funday’ pad and the black card is from eBay.  All I seem to be making at the moment are cards for boys, but I don’t mind really, as having two boys myself I’m quite used to it lol!

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Emma’s store and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store. 

 

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

By the way from today the teams over at cupcake have now split into two and I’m with Team A so I’ll only be posting a DT creation once every 2 weeks from now on.  However I’ll still be letting you know each week what the challenge is and I hope you’ll still be able to join in each week.

Stamp with fun #149–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Oh dear another week has gone by with a poor show from me – sorry!  I don’t know where the time is going; I have really good intentions but then it’s 2am and I’m too tired to blog!!  I promise that I will try and be more organised with my posts this week – starting with today lol!

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge and this week we have an easy theme for you of “shapes”.  Here is my card:

I’m sorry for the dark photos but the papers were quite vintage-y so I didn’t want to mess around with them too much as it would spoil the overall effect.  I have used a super cute image from Teddy Bo and coloured it with my promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are from my stash (and I’ve had them for ages – no names on them sorry) and the pink card is SU.  The gold mirri card is also from my stash.  The flourish is a Marianne creatables die and I used a MS punch for the butterflies.  I made this card for an order and it’s A5 in size.  The shapes I’ve used are rectangles, circles and hearts.

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

Sweet Stampin’ GDT Card

Happy Sunday dear friends.  I hope you’ve had a great weekend so far, although I can’t believe it’s 6.00pm already – where has the day gone??  I’m here this afternoon to share my second card as Guest Designer over at Sweet Stampin’ challenge.  The challenge this week is “clean & Simple” which I know fills most people with dread, me included.  Here is my card:

I have used a brand new image from DigiStamp Boutique which is part of the offer of them month called ‘Daisy set 1’ which is available at a very special price for February – just £2.25 for 3 gorgeous images.  I coloured her with promarkers and flex markers and cut her out.  The pretty papers are from the me to you ‘spring chic’ paper pad and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment strip is from pink petticoat.  I did some faux stitching with my fine liner pen and added a couple of pearls and viola my card was finished.  I have to say I think it looks like it isn’t finished but I’m sure some extra bits will find their way onto my card before I send it to anyone lol!  You really need to check out the DT cards over at the challenge blog as they are stunning.

Bee Crafty challenge–DT card

** This is my second post for today **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT project

Hello again dear friends.  As promised I’m back with my last catch up post for this week – thank goodness!  Over at the Bee Crafty challenge our monthly challenge is “goodbye/thinking of you”.  Unfortunately this will be our last challenge for a while as Merrigan is due to have her second baby any day now and she will have her hands full so she is putting the challenges on hold for the foreseeable future, but rest assured she will be back.  Here is my card:

I have used a super image called ‘fluffy bunny pair’ as I thought they looked like they were waving goodbye lol!  You can purchase the image in the store here.   The image is coloured with promarkers and flex markers.  I was delighted when I “discovered” this sentiment in my stamp drawer as it fit perfectly with the theme – it is a clear stamp from elzybells.  The papers are my mind’s eye from the ‘true blue’ paper pad and I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the background.  The fancy border was a freebie in a parcel I received from the lovely Tracey at Dies to Die For and i was chuffed when it matched my card perfectly – love it when that happens lol!

The prize as always is 2 digi images of the winner’s choice.  Please pop over to the challenge blog and check out Deanne’s gorgeous card too. 

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

Karen’s doodles challenge – cute & cuddly
