Stamptacular #62 – guest DT card

Morning everyone, I’m honoured to be sharing with you my first guest designer card for the Stamptacular challenge.  I am lucky enough to be joining their fabulous challenge for the whole of June, so I hope you will be able to play along too :)  The challenge launching today is “I do, I do” which means we are looking for wedding or anniversary themed projects but don’t forget you must include some stamping on your creation (digi stamps are allowed).  Here is my card:

I made this card for a friend at work and she gave me the colour scheme to use, not my usual wedding colour combo I have to admit, but I’m quite happy with the end result.  IRL the ribbon and flowers are a hot pink but they look more red in the pics, which is a shame.  I hope you will have the time to go and check out the rest of the DT cards, as they are all beautiful.  I can’t wait to visit your blogs and see what you create. 

I can also enter my card into the following challenges:

A spoonfull of sugar challenge – celebrations

Pixie dust studio challenge – punch it out (heart punch)

Stamp something challenge – stamp something digi

By the cute and girly challenge – something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

Sir stampalot challenge – punch it

So I hope you have a great Sunday and manage to get some crafty time today, I’m going to try and catch up with some orders and outstanding DT cards, if I can get myself organised :)  Don’t forget to call back tomorrow for my DT cards for cupcake craft challenge and stamp with fun challenge.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Card ingredients:

Digi image: Digi doodle shop – wedding cake

Papers: PM Henbury Lane paper pad, plain card from the papermill shop

Tools: promarkers, sentiment created on the pc, x-cut heart punch, ribbon and gems from candy win

Pile it on #11/Stamptacular #20/Stamp something

Morning all, I’m back with a card (at long last you say!!).  I’m entering this card for the Pile it on challenge, which this week is ‘oh boy’, the stamptacular challenge, which is ‘beary special’ and the stamp something challenge, which is ‘birthday somethings’.  I stamped the personal impressions fishing bear from the sports set 1 and coloured him with my promarkers.  The papers are all DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM.  The sketch was going to be for a challenge before I went on hols but I didn’t have time to upload it (story of my life haha!).  I hope you are all having a good day.  I may be back later with another card (if you’re lucky lol).  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Stamptacular challenge #18

This is my card for this week’s stamptacular challenge, which is ‘child’s play’.  I stamped the WOJ image and coloured him with my promarkers.  The glitter paper is DCWV from the glitter stack and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my SU oval punches.  The star was cut out with a dovecraft punch and the buttons are from my stash.  A simple card but I really like it, hope you do too!.  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Stamptacular challenge #15

The stamptacular challenge this week is a lovely sketch so I decided to combine this with an order for a lady at work (her daughter wanted a card to give to her dinner lady at school lol!).  I used a gorjuss girl image kindly sent to me by Gina and coloured her with my promarkers.  I used stunning dp by My Mind’s Eye from the ‘bloom & grow’ paper pack (you will be seeing lots more of this as it’s gorgeous).  The flowers were cut out with my medium ek success punch and the adhesive stones are PM.  The sentiment was created on the pc.  I kept the sketch pretty much as is and didn’t fuss very much with it but I’m really happy with the final result.  Apologies for the slightly ‘wonky’ photo!  Thanks for stopping by today. 

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.

Colour Create #15/ASFOS #51

This is my second post for today, please scroll down to see my earlier card!!

This is my entry for this week's colour create challenge, which is 'blue and green' (with the optional extra of paper piecing - which I forgot lol) and a spoonfull of sugar which is 'buttons galore'. The image is high hopes 'Anthony James' (available from Dies to Die For) and I coloured him with my promarkers. The dp is BG from the archaic paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment is a rub-on by pebbles inc and the buttons are from my stash. I used this week's stamptacular sketch but to be entered you can't combine it with any other challenge d'oh! Thanks for stopping by.

Stamptacular challenge #3

This is my card for this week's stamptacular sunday challenge, which 'black, white + one'. I have obviously decided to go with black, white and orange, not a combination I would normally use but I love the finished result. I used a download by Sally-Ann Hancock from Grab-a-doodle-do and coloured it with my pro-markers (hopefully the tiny bit of green on the leaves will be allowed). The dp is all SU and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The flowers are cut with woodware, ek success and x-cut punches and the ribbon is from my stash. The adhesive stones are kaiser craft and the stamped sentiment is daisy bucket designs. I used a corner rounder to round the edges of my cs and dp. I hope you're all enjoying the glorious weather we've been having lately, not sure it's going to last much longer though (grrr....). Thanks for stopping by.

Stamptacular #2

The theme over at the stamptacular sunday challenge this week is 'this is for the birds' so I thought this PB image was perfect. I stamped the 'basket of chicks' image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is doodlebug and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment is also PB and the adhesive stones are PM. A simple card but I'm really happy with it. Thanks for stopping by.
