Dare you to digi stamp #5

THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY EARLIER POST - I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO MISS A THING LOL!

This is my card for this week's DU2DS, which is a sketch. I printed out the Digistamp Boutique image and coloured it with my promarkers. The dp is all SU (again from the new ski slope range which is gorgeous). The ribbon is from my stash and the adhesive stones are PM. The sentiment was created on the pc and the circles were cut with my nesties. Thanks for stopping by.

Friday Sketchers #50

This is my card for this week's friday sketchers sketch, it was also a card order for a lady at work. I stamped the stamping bella 'beerafella' image and coloured him with guess what.... promarkers haha! The dp is BG from the archaic paper pad and I hand tore the longer panel and inked the edge with a cats eye chalk ink pad. The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM. The button is from a dovecraft embellishment pack but it was more of a pastel colour so I coloured it in with my olive green promarker. I did miss off the ribbon from the sketch 'cos I couldn't fit it in, so will understand if my card doesn't count. Thanks for stopping by.

Deer Friend

I made this card for a friend at work who has had some bad news recently. I stamped the gorgeous greeting farm image from the forest friends set of stamps (available from dies to die for) and coloured him with my promarkers. I also stamped the image twice and cut out the front part of his body and his head and raised them up on 3d foam. The dp is all from SU's new range called ski slope (from Jules). The larger flowers are part of the blog candy from Sally-Ann and the smaller flowers were punched out of the dp with an x-cut punch. The corners of the dp were cut with fiskars corner adorner scissors and the adhesive stones are PM. The sentiment is a stamp by studio g. I followed the sketch from last week's stamp & smiles challenge but again was too late to enter it d'oh! Thanks for stopping by.

Cupcake Craft Challenge #38



The CCC this week was set by Claire and she choose "numbers". Now I have to apologise as I intended my card having a chipboard number but due to a hectic week and leaving my card til the very last minute I couldn't find the flipping things so had to use a computer generated sentiment that included a number (very poor offering I know but I will try harder next week lol). Anyway onto the card....... I stamped the greeting farm image "fairy chloe" (from dies to die for) and coloured her with pro-markers adding stickles to her wings and highlights with a white gel pen. The lush dp is k & co from the sparkly sweet paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. As I mentioned the sentiment is computer generated and the adhesive stones are PM. The cotton thread was bought in Woolworths a long time ago (I still miss it!!). I'm sorry the picture is a little dark but I had terrible trouble trying to get a good one. I can't wait to see your creations. Pop over to the CCC to join in. Thanks for stopping by.

Papertake challenge

This is my very late entry for the papertake challenge 'spots and stripes'. I stamped the stamping bella new image "tatiana ketto" and coloured her with pro-markers. The dp is all SU (from Jules as part of a paper share) and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my new SU scalloped oval punch. The adhesive stones are kaiser craft and the ribbon, flowers and brads are from my stash. Thanks for stopping by.


Wedding card

This is a card I made for a friend at work. I was going to enter it for last week's basic grey challenge, which was a sketch, but unfortunately I've had a really hectic few days here and didn't get around to it, but never mind it's a cute card nevertheless. I stamped the elzybells image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is BG from the Eva paper pad and plain cs is from the papermill shop. I know the colours are maybe not traditional wedding card colours but I think they look great. The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM. The decorative edge was cut with fiskars scissors and the flowers were punched out with my ek success retro flower punch (medium). Thanks for stopping by.

Digistamp Boutique is now OPEN!

Sally-Ann's new website Digistamp Boutique is now officially open. You can buy all her existing downloads as well as seeing her new images all in one gorgeous place. The card above features one of her images called Lizzie but I will also be showing you some of her new images over the weekend, so stay tuned. Onto the card..... I downloaded the Lizzie image and coloured her with my pro-markers. The gorgeous dp is cosmo cricket and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. I used fiskars decorative scissors to cut the scalloped edges and the sentiment was created on the pc. I had a go at making my own distressed flowers, not perfect but really pleased with the final result (they look much nicer IRL honest) and the pearl brads and adhesive stones are PM.

You can also check out the Digistamp Boutique blog to keep up to date on new releases, challenges and competitions. Thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend (I know I will - major crafting session planned yay).
