A spoonfull of sugar #73/stamp something

**THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY – PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY CUPCAKE CRAFT CHALLENGE DT CARD **

I’m cutting it extremely finely for the a spoonfull of sugar challenge this week, which is a fabulous sketch by Caryn (who is also my fellow DT member at PFP).  This card also fits the bill at stamp something challenge this week, where the theme is ‘bling somethings’.  I stamped a sugar nellie gorjuss girl image called ‘untamed’ (available at funky kits) and coloured her with my promarkers.  I wanted to use quite bright and funky colours as it was for a young girl and chose pink and orange after finding this stunning DCWV glitter card (aptly from the glitter stack lol).  The pink paper is doodlebug and the plain orange paper is a freebie from a craft magazine.  The flowers were cut out with my ek success retro flower punches and the adhesive stones are kaiser craft.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the ribbon bows are from ideal world (a very long time ago).  This card was for an order and it is A5 size.  Thanks for stopping by.

Cupcake craft challenge #59 – DT card

Hello and welcome to Monday morning…..which means a new challenge over at cupcake craft challenge. This week’s theme is ‘cute as a bug’ and as we are being sponsored this week by Bee Crafty the lucky DT were able to choose a digital image from their online store to use on their samples. I printed off the ‘whimsical girl and bird’ image and coloured it with my promarkers, adding stickles to the flowers. The papers are all DCWV from the nana’s nursery (baby girl) stack. The image was cut out with my rectangle nesties and the butterflies were punched out with a long-reach punch that I got from Ideal World a very long time ago. I also added stickles to the butterflies to bling them up a little. The ribbon is SU and the charm was a birthday present. The adhesive stones are PM.

Bee Crafty is offering our lucky winner 3 single digital images or 1 set of images of their choice and boy what a difficult choice it will be as they have some very cute designs to choose from.

If you have time please check out the other DT cards, as they are all gorgeous. I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing all the different bugs you use on your cards this week. Thanks for stopping by today.

Gorjuss birthday!

Firstly apologies for the very 'wonky' photo. No I was not drunk when I took the pic, it just happened that way haha! I made this card (A4 in size) for a very special order in work. The lady that ordered it is terminally ill and she wanted a card for her grand-daughter. I felt very pressurised to make a really fantastic card and thankfully she did love it - 'phew'!! I stamped three miss anya images (the greeting farm from dies to die for) and coloured them with my pro-markers. The die cut panels were a RAK, but I think they were cut with nesties. I added highlights to my images with a sakura stardust pen. The dp is doodlebug and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive dots are from QVC. The gingham bows are from ideal world. I used an x-cut paper punch to cut out the flowers (2 sizes) and added an adhesive dot the centre. Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch saturday #41

I was asked by my mother to make a birthday card for her friend so decided to use the lovely sketch on sketch saturday this week. I stamped the stamping bella 'daisybella' image and coloured her with my pro-markers, adding highlights with a sakura stardust pen. The green dp is by doodlebug and the flowery dp is by imagination project. The orange cs is from the papermill shop and the sentiment was created on the pc. The buttons and flowers are from my stash and the bow is from ideal world (so long ago). The adhesive stones are PM. I love this colour combo, I was inspired by the colours on the colour create challenge this week, so springy and fresh. Thanks for stopping by.

SCSC #17/OSCC #14

This is yet another late card for the SCSC 'at the zoo' challenge and the OSCC 'buttons & bows' challenge. I stamped the high hopes leo the lion image and coloured him with my pro-markers. The dp is all SU and the brown cs is bazzill bling. The buttons are doodlebug and the bows are from ideal world that I've had in my stash for many moons. I haven't added a sentiment as I'm not sure who it's going to be for yet. I shaped all the corners with my corner rounder punch. Thanks for looking.

CCT #42/Friday Sketchers #34

This is my card for this week's Cute Card Thursday, which is to use something you got for Christmas and also the sketch for Friday Sketchers. Well I treated myself, with my Christmas money to some of the gorgeous Leanne Ellis designs for Sugar Nellie Stamps and this one is called Blossom. I coloured her with my pro-markers and added highlights with a white gel pen. The very yummy dp is by imagination project and the green dp is from double sided paper by s.e.i. The orange ric-rac and flowers are from my stash. The heart pin is from ebay and the ribbon bow is from ideal world (a very long time ago) and the adhesive dots are from a kit from QVC. The sentiment was done on my pc. I'm sorry the photo is so dark but it was very murky here this morning. Thanks for looking.

Cupcake bella

I had to make an 18th birthday card so I stamped the bella image and coloured her with my pro-markers. I added stickles to the cupcake frosting and diamond glaze to the cherry. I used gorgeous dp by basic grey and plain cs from the papermill shop. The 18 and alphabet stickers are by k & co (and they are lovely IRL) and the sentiment was done on my pc. The flowers are prima and the adhesive stones are papermania. The heart pin was from ebay and the gingham bow was from ideal world (many moons ago). I also highlighted the swirls on the dp with my sakura glaze pen. Thanks for looking.
