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

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.

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.

Stamptacular challenge – loaded with layers

Creative card crew challenge – use ribbon

Digital Tuesday challenge – winter blues (I used blue papers/promarkers)

Stamp with fun #138–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you had a great weekend, although it seemed to sneak passed me without barely registering and here we are again ready to start the working week (groan!!).  As it’s Monday morning it’s time for a brand new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge and this week we have a wonderful sketch by Andrea-Emmi41 to use.  I really enjoyed using the sketch this week and I think it will be put in my ‘sketches’ book for use again in the future.  Here is my card:

and here is the sketch:

I made this card for my parents to give to my niece and as it’s her 18th birthday I made an 8x8 card.  The image is some odd girl stamps and is called ‘dancin’ Kaylee’ and I coloured her with a mix of flex markers and promarkers.  The gorgeous papers are from a kit by my minds eye called ‘ooh la la’ and the gingham ribbon is from the pretty little ribbon shop. 

We have a sponsor this week and that is Cute stamps and Cards and they are offering one lucky winner a fantastic Marianne Creatables die.

Charisma cardz #32–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you are having a great week so far.  Mine is going great (it helps not being in work of course) but it’s going too fast lol!  As it’s Thursday it means it’s time for a brand new challenge over at charisma cardz challenge and this week it’s time for Team Gem to share their work (which I’m part of).  As from last week the DT has a few new members and we’ve split into two teams – Team Carly and Team Gem – so that means I will only be posting a card once a fortnight now, although I will still be commenting every week.  Anyway enough rambling the theme this week is “distressed” and here is my card:

I received my new Go-Kreate XXL scalloped circle dies a few days ago and couldn’t wait to use them so made a circle card for a change.  I stupidly didn’t order the XXL plain circles (but I’ve rectified that now lol) so I used the scallops for all the layers, except the image which I cut out with my circle nestie.  The super cute image is from Some Odd Girl called ‘snuggle tiny Tia’ and the paper is basic grey from the ‘kioshi’ paper pad.  My distressing consists of inking every edge possible with a chalk ink pad.  I normally rough up all the edges with a scissors but as all the edges are scalloped I thought this would probably look a bit naff!!

We have two sponsors this week, firstly we have Some Odd Girl (who generously gave me my image) and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digis of their choice and our second sponsor is  The Stamping Boutique and they are offering one lucky winner 5 digis of their choice.

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

Cupcake craft challenge #144–DT card

Hello again friends.  I’m back to share my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  I have the honour of setting the theme this week and I’ve chosen a zesty colour combo for you to use: 

 

Here is my card:

I really love this bright and cheerful colour scheme and I was really looking forward to using it but for some reason my mojo wasn’t co-operating and I really struggled.  I’m still not 100% happy with this card but it’s much better than my original attempt!!  I love all the individual elements but I just think that something’s missing!  I used a gorgeous image from some odd girl called ‘dancin’ Kaylee’ and most of the papers are SU except for the flowery paper at the top which is from my scrap box. 

Our sponsor this week is pink gem designs and the lucky winner will receive 4 images of their choice. 

Don’t forget we also have our ‘icing on the cupcake’ sponsor, who for May is Crafts U Love and they are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 gift voucher for their online store.

Charisma cardz #18–DT project

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great week so far and thank goodness it’s Friday tomorrow lol!  I got a little confused with my days this week (due to the bank holiday) so forget to schedule my post last night for this week’s charisma cardz challenge, but at least I’m here eventually lol!  This week Carly-Ann has given us a theme of ‘anything but a card’, which always strikes fear into me.  I know there are lots of options of what to make but my mind always goes blank about what to make haha!  I decided to take the easy option this time and make a corner bookmark.  They are so easy to make and I followed a tutorial I found here.

I know the last picture is the wrong way around but it was the only way I could show you the whole thing – it was really hard to photograph and it was 12.30am and I was too tired to mess around lol!.  I used a gorgeous image from Some Odd Girl called ‘flower girl Mae’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  It’s difficult to tell in the pics but I coloured the smaller flowers in her hair with sakura stardust pen so they really sparkle IRL. 

Our sponsors this week are Simon Says Stamp who are offering a $20.00 voucher to their online store, Some Odd Girl who are offering 3 digis of the winner’s choice and Crafty Emma’s Store who are offering a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

My fellow teamie Leah is also offering candy on her blog for everyone who uses a Some Odd Girl image and enters our challenge this week.  You can check out her post here.  The candy up for grabs is a gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Material Girl 6x6 pad and your choice of FOUR digis, or TWO of the new clear stamps from Some Odd Girl!

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

Crafty Ann’s challenge – fancy folds

Fussy and fancy challenge – springtime

Totally papercrafts challenge – glitter

CES challenge – inspirational photo (I was inspired by the gingham, pink/cream colours)

Challenge up your life challenge – bookmark

Sweet stampin’ challenge – try something new (first time I’ve made a corner bookmark)

Craft your passion challenge – anything goes

Pear tree designs challenge – free for all

Passion for promarkers #93–DT card

Good morning everyone, – I trust you had a good Monday and took advantage of the last day of the nice weather for this week (I’m sounding like a weather girl at the moment aren’t I lol!).  I hope you are ready for a new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge this week cos today’s the day.  This week’s challenge has been set by Ida and she has chosen “bugs” (either critters or cars as Ida is mad about beetle cars – she has even used one on her card this week).  Don’t forget you must use your promarkers or aqua markers to be eligible for our prize. 

Here is my card:

close up of the image:

close up of my first ever attempt at pleating!:

I have used a super cute image from Some Odd Girl stamps called ‘Bee Tia’ and have gone for a different look than my usual cards.  For a start I decided to use a DL tall card instead of a square card and didn’t do lots of matting and layering which I find hard not to do.  Quite a simple card but I really like the result. 

We are lucky enough to have a new sponsor joining us this week Some Odd Girl stamps and it is a complete co-incidence that I used one of their images this week cos when I made it I didn’t even know who the sponsor was then lol!  The lucky winner will receive 3 digi images of their choice.

The rest of the DT have created some amazing cards this week, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  Alternatively you can click on their names in my sidebar.  We always really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

Passion for promarkers #86–DT card

Good morning friends, it’s Tuesday so that can only mean one thing – a brand new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge.  This week our theme has been set by Michele and she has chosen “let there be love”, it doesn’t have to be a valentine’s creation it could be a wedding or anniversary card if you like or simply a card to say I love you!!  Here is my card:

 

I have used a super cute image from Some Odd Girl called ‘sweet Kody’ and chose muted colours of kraft, red and white as I think it makes for a more masculine card.  I found this scalloped card in a pile under my desk and thought it would make a nice change from the traditional square card that I always use! 

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

We are sadly saying goodbye to Caryn from the design team as her business is doing really well and she can’t craft as much as she likes.  Also Gina is taking a step back from creating as her online business is really good at the moment too (although she will still be my partner in crime on the blog).  We are pleased to announce that we will have two new members from next week Heidi and Maya.  Please check out their blogs as their work is stunning.
