Cupcake craft challenge #174–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 with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge and Liza has set the theme and she has chosen “something new”.  You could make a new baby, new home, new job card or just use new stash that Santa brought for you (but if you do please can you let us know what new items you’ve used).  I decided to make a new baby card as I don’t have any in stock and I love making baby cards!  Here is my card:

 

I used a super cute image from Lori Boyd designs and coloured him with promarkers.  I used my favourite paper for baby cards – gingham – and both papers are from wild rose studio ‘gorgeous ginghams’ paper stack.  The blue card is from the papermill shop and the white card is digi stamping card from craftwork cards (which I fed through my paper crimper for added texture).  The layout again is super simple, as its for a boy, I just added a few buttons and gems to finish.  I have to say that this card is much nicer IRL and I’m really pleased with the finished result. 

We have two sponsors this week, firstly we have Sew Sweet who are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

Our second sponsor is squiggle stamps who are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images from 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.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Hasn’t the weather been really shocking this week and I hope you haven’t experienced the awful damage I’ve seen on the TV.  It’s been very windy and wet here but thankfully we haven’t had any problems with flooding or any damage.  I hope you all keep warm, dry and safe. 

I’m here this morning to share my DT card for this week’s Winter Wonderland challenge and the lovely Marianne has set the theme and she has chosen “let’s go shopping “ and she would like to see images that are shopping or holding shopping bags etc. .  Our challenge does not have to be for Christmas, although you can if you like, as we don’t start our Christmas only challenges until February.    I really struggled with this challenge as I seem to have misplaced my mojo this week so if anyone has any spare please send it my way lol!  Anyway here is my card:

I used a super cute image from Lori Boyd designs called ‘back to school Lucy’ but I removed her pile of books!  I coloured her using promarkers and flex markers and cut her out with an oval nestie.  The papers are a magazine freebie from quite a while ago and the card (which is really turquoise IRL) is stampin’ up.  The ribbon isn’t quite so dark IRL either but hey-ho my wonderful photography skills at work again!!

We have some new DT members joining us from this week and joining Team Marianne we have Bridget and Karen and joining Team Kate we have Debbie and Lisa.  Welcome girls, I cannot wait to see your wonderful creations. 

Our sponsor this week is Crafter’s Companion and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in the online store.

The rest of the DT (including the newbies Bridget and Karen) have created amazing cards for your inspiration 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 #129–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Like a bad penny I’m back again lol!  This time it’s to share my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  The lovely Shelly has set the theme and she has chosen ‘I love you’ so your card must include at least one heart.  Your card obviously doesn’t have to be a valentine’s card just as long as it contains a heart or hearts it will be fine.  Again I was lucky enough to be given a sponsors image and here is my card:

 

The image is by Lori Boyd Designs and is called ‘puddle jumper birthday Emma’ (the image also includes a present and a happy birthday sentiment which I didn’t use this time).  As usual my photography skills are lacking!  The ric-rac ribbon and the dress are actually a lovely girly pink IRL but they look more salmon pink in my pic and the pearls are a soft pink too not red as they look in the pic grrrr!!!  In case you didn’t notice, my hearts are the MS punched border!

Our sponsor this week is Lori Boyd Designs and they are offering the lucky winner a $10.00 gift certificate to their online store.  You will definitely be spoilt for choice as she has lots of super cute images, just like this one.

Don’t forget we also have our ‘icing on the cupcake’ prize and our sponsor for February is Crafts U Love and the lucky winner will receive a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online shop.

The rest of the DT have created gorgeous cards once again this week, so please pop over and check them out.  You can also visit their personal blogs by clicking on their names in my sidebar.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

Stamp with fun #96–DT card

Good morning crafters.  It’s Monday morning again (why do they always come around so fast?) and my first day back at work after my sick leave due to my back pain.  I’m sure today will go really fast, as I will have lots to catch up on,  and I will be shattered tonight!  Anyway enough of my rambling – I’m here this morning to share with you my DT card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge.  This week we have a gorgeous sketch by Tina46 to use – here is the sketch:

and here is my card:

As you can see I have replaced the heart shape with a circle on my card, as unfortunately I don’t have a heart die cut at the moment (although it’s on my wish list).  I embossed the circle with a heart embossing folder, so it’s the next best thing lol!  I have used a super cute image from Claudia & Co and it is by Lori Boyd designs.  Again my photography skills are a bit lacking, sorry!

We have a sponsor this week – Cute Stamps and Cards  and they are offering one lucky winner a set of Marianne Creatables dies (I am so jealous).

My son’s birthday card

Good morning everyone.  As I don’t have a passion for promarkers challenge card for you today (as our challenge runs for two weeks) I thought I would share a card I made for my son’s birthday, which was Sunday – I can’t believe my baby is 14 years old!!!!!  This is the card that his brother gave to him.  Actually this card could fit the challenge over at PFP as the digi image is new and all the papers are very old lol!  The image is so cool and its from Lori Boyd Designs – her images are so much fun and there is something for everyone.  Here is my card:

The cool dudes hairstyle is something similar to my sons but that’s where the similarity ends.  He is not at all sporty or outdoorsy – he just lives for his x-box, like most kids his age. 

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

Corrosive challenge – things that move (his skateboard)

Stamptacular challenge – fall-ing for you – use fall colours

The crazy challenge – on the go i.e. anything you like

Little paper shop challenge – funky edge (my punched edge)

Totally stampalicious challenge – anything goes

Paper play challenge – stars

Alphabet challenge – e is for embossing

Friday sketchers challenge – sketch

Lots to do challenge – embossing

Craft your days away challenge – texture (my embossing)

Claudia and company challenge – brown, cream + 1 other colour (my colour is red)

Party time Tuesday challenge – anything goes birthday

Scrap creations challenge – anything goes

Top tip Tuesday challenge – anything goes

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday and don’t forget you have another week to enter the passion for promarkers “old & new” challenge.  There are fantastic prizes up for grabs and you can enter as many times as you like.  I will be back later with my project for the Some Odd Girl Hol-ODD-day blog hop.  Thanks for stopping by today.

A quick post!

Hi everyone I’m back with my third post for today – haven’t done that for a while.  Anyway I wanted to quickly post this card as I’ve left it until the last possible moment to enter the Claudia & Co monthly challenge (yes I know I’ve had a month lol!).  I’ve used one of Lori Boyd’s cute digi images called Lollipop Ella and here is my card:

Isn’t she just adorable?  I have quite a few of Lori’s digi’s but don’t use them as often as I should.

So I am quickly going to enter my card into the following challenges:

Claudia & Company challenge – orange, ribbon and a button

Little paper shop challenge – buttons and bows (hope it’s ok that I’ve only got 1 of each)

CCEE stampers challenge – CAS card

The Townscrapper challenge – buttons (again hope it’s ok that I’ve only got 1 button)

CES challenge – chocolate caramel (my colours)

Crafter’s companion monthly challenge – sketch and/or one for the girls (I’ve used the theme)

Ok so I told you this was going to be a quick.  Need to rush off and link up my card now at Claudia & Company challenge before I miss the deadline!!  Thanks for stopping by.
