Stamp with fun #157–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Another Monday has rolled around too quickly for my liking lol!  I wish we could work 2 days and have a 5 day weekend haha!  I don’t think the government or my bank manager would be very happy with that idea lol!

I’m here this morning to share my DT card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge.  Our theme this week is a really easy one and we expect lots of gorgeous entries – “favourite colours” – just let us know in your post what your favourite colours are!  Now I know some of you have an aversion to pink but I really like using it so my favourite colours are pink and kraft and here is my card:

I have also used one of my all time favourite sugar nellie stamps image called ‘just a girl’ and I’ve coloured her with promarkers.  I also decided to paper piece her dress for a change.  The pretty papers are from the forever friends ‘new arrival’ 6x6 designstax and the kraft card is from dies to die for.  The lace is from eBay and the butterflies were cut out with a die-namics die. 

The rest of the design team have created amazing cards 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:

The sugar bowl challenge – sketch and option stripes/plaid

Joanna sheen challenge – for someone special (card is for a friend who is going through a tough time at the moment)

Crafts and me challenge – 3d embellishments

The pixie cottage challenge – sketch and/or paper piecing

CES challenge – paper piece it

Drunken stampers challenge – you’re a krafty one

A clean and simple card

Hello fellow crafters I hope you are all keeping well.  The weather has been melting hot here today and it’s supposed to be even warmer tomorrow (which is technically today as I’m writing this at 2.30am!!).

I’m sharing a card I made for a friend at work whose neighbour was retiring.  She wanted something with ‘tools’ on it.  Now as my printer is still on the blink I rummaged through my stamps and found this FF image, which was ideal.  Here is my card:

Whilst I was looking through my craft drawers I also discovered the fab brads, which look like real screw heads and they were perfect for my card.  I kept the layout very clean and simple as I think it suited the colour scheme. 

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Crafty cardmakers challenge – cards for men

Papertake challenge - sketch

Charisma cardz challenge – for the boys

Rainbow lady’s challenge – ice cream/ice cream colours (I used vanilla and chocolate colours)

Polka doodles challenge – something for a boy

Have a great Sunday, hope the weather is glorious where you are.  I’ll be back later with my last GDT card for the Stamptacular challenge but until then, thanks for stopping by.

Just Cute Bears #2 & Die cut dreams #32

I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday – doesn’t the weekend just whizz by too fast!  I have a card to show you today which fits the challenges over at just cute bears challenge, which is ‘congratulations’ and die cut dreams challenge which is ‘bears’.  I used a FF image and coloured it with my promarkers and I added some stickles to their wines glasses and the brides head-dress.  The gorgeous shimmery patterned card is DCWV from the luxury stack and the plain card is also DCWV from the metallic stack.  The flower was cut with the three sizes of ek success retro flower punch and the leaves were cut with my L’em branch punch.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive pearls are kanban.  There is also a piece of white tulle ribbon but its so sheer its difficult to see in the picture.  Don’t forget to pop back tomorrow to see my DT card for stamp with fun and cupcake craft challenge.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by. 

Papertake challenge/Creative Card Crew #20

The papertake challenge this week is a ‘take your pick colour combi’ and we can take our pick from the following colours - pink, black, white, yellow, green, grey and lilac.  The challenge explained that we can use as many or as few colours as we like with skin/hair colours as extra colours.  The creative card crew challenge asked for ‘polka dots’.  My colour combo is pink and white and I made this card for a lady as work who was going to a christening.  I stamped the forever friends image and coloured it with my promarkers.  The papers, flowers and ribbon are from my stash.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM.  The gorgeous teddy charm was a RAK.  I cut the decorative edge on the dotty paper with a pair of fiskars scallop scissors.  Well the weather here is the complete opposite of yesterday’s – torrential rain – yuk!.  Hope you are having a good day whatever you’re up to.  Thanks for stopping by.

Stamptacular challenge #9

This is my entry for this week's stamptacular challenge, which is 'a wedding theme'. A made this card for a lady at work. I stamped the forever friends image and coloured it with my promarkers. The "lace effect" dp is dovecraft and the blue swirl dp is doodlebug. I used my fiskars border punch on the blue swirl dp to create the decorative edge. The plain cs is from the papermill shop. The heart was punched out of white cs with my x-cut punch and the sentiment was created on the pc. The adhesive stones are PM. Sorry for the 'wonky' picture (I promise I wasn't drunk when I took it lol!) I hope you are all enjoying the glorious sunshine today - I've been out with all the family (minus hubby who is away in Weston-Super-Mare for a stag night) for a meal and a sit in the beer garden (although I was driving so purely diet coke for me) and it was a scorcher. Thanks for stopping by.

Papertake challenge/Forever friends challenge

I'm cutting it fine for these challenges, which end tomorrow lol! The papertake challenge is a great sketch by Dawny and the FF challenge is 'St George's Day' which means red and white! I stamped the FF image and coloured it with my pro-markers adding a white dot the centres of the flowers with a gel pen. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the floral background I stamped myself using a SU real red stampin' spot and the flower trio stamp from the one of a kind stamp set. The decorative edge was cut with my fiskars border punch and the brads are from my stash. I hope it's ok but I didn't add a sentiment as I don't know who is going to be the recipient of this card just yet.

I just wanted to let you know that I am changing my internet provider tomorrow and until it becomes live I won't be able to get onto the internet. Also I don't know what my new email address will be either. As soon as I can get on here and change everything you will be the first to know lol! Thanks for stopping by.

OSCC #24 & ABC challenge 'J'

This card was ordered by my auntie for her friend. I used a FF image and coloured it with pro-markers, adding highlights with a white gel pen. The gorgeous dp is BG and from the boxer and cupcake paper pads. The flowers are imaginisce bitty blossoms and the brad is from my stash. The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM. I am entering this card for the OSCC this week which is 'torn' and the ABC challenge which is 'J for jagged edge'. Thanks for looking.

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.

Sketch saturday #45

I love the sketch saturday challenges but unfortunately haven't been able to participate for a few weeks, so I am really pleased that I got a chance to make a card for the challenge this week. This week's sketch was by Tracie (and a great sketch it is too). I did rotate the sketch as it fitted my image that way around. I stamped the FF image and coloured him with pro-markers. I also added highlights to the flowers with a sakura stardust pen (can you tell I love these pens lately lol). The dp is doodlebug and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. I used my fiskars threading water punch to create the decorative edge. The ribbon is from my stash and the adhesive stones are PM. The sentiment was created on the pc. I made this card for my auntie whose birthday it was yesterday. Happy Good Friday to you all and thanks for stopping by.

Forever friends challenge

I was asked to make a christening card for a friend in work and this is what I came up with. Now I know I may be stretching the theme on the FF challenge this week but I hope it will be ok! The theme this week is make a card for mum (or any female) but my card is for a female, just a little one lol! Anywho onto the card. I stamped the FF image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The spotty dp was a freebie from a craft magazine and the gingham dp has been in my stash for so long that I can't remember where I got it. The brown cs is bazzill bling and the decorative edge was cut with fiskars scissors. The sentiments were created on the pc and the pearl brads are PM. The charm and flowers are from my stash. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your Sunday.

Forever friends challenge/Cupcake challenge

This is my card for this week's FF challenge, which was a really lovely sketch and the cupcake challenge which is 'spring'. I haven't entered very many of the FF challenges as to be honest I don't have that many of their stamps, however I did treat myself to this little beauty this week so decided to have a go. I stamped the image and coloured it with my pro-markers and I added stickles to the centre of the flowers. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the dp was a freebie from a craft magazine (the colours scream spring to me). The sentiment was created on the pc and the flowers were punched out of the cs with my x-cut flower punches. The green "leaves" are also a flower punch (woodware) that I cut apart and glued behind the flowers. The 'my friend' sentiment is elzybells. Thanks for stopping by.

CCT #45/FF challange/Papertake challenge

Here I go again combining three challenges in one card LOL! This is my card for the cute card thursday challenge which is 'valentines', the forever friends challenge is 'tall & thin (card)' and the papertake challenge is 'hearts and flowers'. I stamped the forever friends image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The red cs is from the papermill shop and the dp is basic grey. The sentiment is by elzybells and the flower was punched out of black card with my woodware punch and I added stickles to the centre. I hand doodled a border around the edges of the panels with a black fineliner pen. Thanks for looking.

OCCC/SCSC (that's alot of C's!!)

I made this card for my brother-in-law's birthday. I used the OCCC sketch for this week and the SCSC was a recipe '1 image, 2 papers and 3 embellishments. I stamped the FF image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The gorgeous dp is from the basic grey granola paper pad. The sentiment was done on the pc and the brads are from my stash. The circles on the dp have been highlighted with stickles (I hope stickles is counted as an embellishment) and the ribbon is also from my stash. Thanks for looking.

Mojo sketch challenge #70

This is my card for this week's mojo sketch challenge. I used a forever friends image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is by pebbles inc and the pink and black cs is from the papermill shop. I used a woodward large scallop circle punch and handcut the smaller circle (I need to get me some round nesties!!). I used the elzybells heart stamp from the s-moo-ches valentine clear set and used a pink brilliance ink pad. I also stamped some dots using my large SU background stamp with brilliance ink on the long pink panel. It's hard to tell in the photo but in real life the ink shimmers, it's really yummy ink. The sentiment is again an elzybells stamp that I only stamped part of. Thanks for looking.

FF challenge/Sketch Saturday #35/ASFOS #35

I've again combined three challenges with this card. The forever friends challenge is 'ribbon', A spoonful of sugar challenge is 'oh baby' and the sketch saturday is obviously a sketch. I used my forever friends stamp and coloured it in with my pro-markers. I attempted to hand draw a brick wall behind the bear but not too sure if I pulled it off! The dp is from a paper pack but I can't remember where I got it as I only had a couple of pieces left. The beige and navy cs is bazzill bling and I used my fiskars threading water paper punch on the beige cs. The ribbon is by american crafts and the buttons are doodlebug. The sentiment is by verve. Thanks for looking.

OCC challenge/Forever Friends challenge/Stamp Something challenge

I've combined another three challenges with this card - it's the only way I can do them all LOL! The OCC challenge this week was a sketch (which I turned on its side). The FF challenge was to use your favourite colour (which is a tie between red and pink) and the stamp something challenge was 'Something New' and as I had this lovely FF image out of my christmas money I thought this could count for that. I stamped the lovely FF image and coloured him with my pro-markers. The dp is a freebie from a craft magazine and the red cs is from the papermill shop. The heart was cut using a paper punch and the adhesive dots are from QVC. The scalloped edge (which is difficult to see in this pic) was done with fiskars decorative scissors. The gorgeous lace is also a new buy from eggstravaganza. Thanks for looking.

Forever friends wedding!

I made this card for a friend to give to her brother and soon to be sister-in-law (who is italian by the way). I stamped the forever friends wedding couple and coloured them with my pro-markers. I added stickles to the veil and hat band for added bling. I used dp by DCWV from the wedding stack and ribbon from my stash. The wedding day sentiment is by stamps away and the names were done with doodlebug rub-ons. Thanks for looking.
