ASFOS #65/Stamp with fun #21

**** This is my second post for today – please scroll down for my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge ****

The challenge over at a spoonfull of sugar this week is ‘travel’ and the stamp with fun challenge is 'at sea' so I thought this card would be perfect! I stamped the PB ‘fishing’ image and coloured it with my promarkers. The papers are all BG from the archaic paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The circles were cut with my woodware scalloped circle punch and the ribbon is from my stash. The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM. The decorative edge on the blue panel was cut with fiskars scissors.

I’m sorry I’m keeping you all in suspenders (lol!) but my night was super busy last night so didn’t have chance to announce my blog candy winner. I will definitely be back later to put you all out of your misery! Thanks for stopping by today.

Cupcake craft challenge #54 – DT card

 

Wow what an exciting week we had over at the cupcake craft challenge blog last week.  We celebrated our first birthday and boy did we have some gorgeously ‘sweet’ entries.  Don’t forget to check out the main blog to see who are the lucky winners of the wonderful sponsor prizes we had up for grabs.  I will be announcing the winner of my personal birthday candy at the end of the post, so stay tuned. 

This week’s challenge is ‘any shape except a square’.  Now most of my regular visitors will know that I struggle with anything that’s not a card but I suppose that’s what a challenge is all about.  I decided to make a cracker shaped card and of course that meant a christmas card.  I used a digi image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘winter sophie’ and coloured her with my promarkers adding highlights with a white gel pen.  I liberally spread stickles onto her hat and boots and also to the snowflakes .  As I thought it would be a little difficult to cover the base with paper I decided to stamp the background and I used a denami design snowflake stamp and colorbox chalk cat’s eye inkpads in warm red, ice jade and ice blue.  I used my nesties to cut the circle and scalloped circle and used ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment is by craftwork cards and I used my SU oval punch for the piece behind it.  The brad is doodlebug. 

Now onto the important bit – the winner of my personal birthday candy, a martha stewart simple scallop punch, (chosen by random.org) is:-

**** MARGIE ****

Congratulations Margie, please can you contact me with your details so that I can get your lovely punch sent out to you (if I don’t hear from Margie by the end of Wednesday I will draw another winner).  Thanks to everyone who entered.  I hope you all have a good day and find the time to enter our challenge this week.  I can’t wait to visit all your blogs and see your wonderful creations.  Don’t forget to check out the DT offering this week as they are all stunning.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin’ for the weekend #12

The challenge over at stampin’ for the weekend this week is ‘pink and grey’ and I had the perfect card ready to show you all (love it when that happens).  I used a digi image from pollycraft called ‘cherry kisses – wedding’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  The papers are DCWV from the luxury stack (sorry about the glare but it is so gorgeous IRL) and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The decorative edge was cut with my martha stewart punch and the sentiment was created on the pc.  The adhesive pearls are by kanban and the ribbon is SU.  It’s getting exciting now – my candy ends tonight at 7.00pm so if you know anyone that hasn’t entered you’d better let them know haha!  Thanks for stopping by today.

Digital Tuesday challenge #20

This week over at the digital Tuesday challenge they are looking for ‘male cards’ so I thought this card was ideal.  I used a freebie digi image by Kerry Steptoe and coloured the ‘cool dude’ with my promarkers.  The papers are all BG and the ribbon is from my stash.  The stars were cut with my dovecraft punch and the sentiment was created on the pc.  A fairly simple layout but I’m really happy with the finished card.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying your weekend (I’m currently surrounded by clothes that need washing – that’s the one drawback of going on holidays!!). 

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. 

I’m back………..

Wow I can’t believe my week’s holiday has flown by so fast!!  I just wanted to let you know that I am back and boy do I have some catching up to do!  I have come home to 579 emails (they will keep me busy for some time). 

I want to say a BIG thank you to everyone that has entered my blog candy - almost 600 comments now – I’m stunned at the amount of interest it has generated.  Don’t forget you still have until Sunday 23rd August at 7pm to be in with a chance of winning. 

Also don’t forget to enter the Cupcake craft challenge this week as there are lots of prizes up for grabs on the main blog but also the DT are offering their own personal candy (but only to people who enter the main challenge and leave a comment on their own blogs).  I have up for grabs a Martha Stewart simple scallop punch, so don’t forget to enter the challenge and leave me a comment.  The winners will be announced on the CCC blog on Monday morning – so good luck!

I will hopefully be back with a card or two either tonight or tomorrow so forget to come and visit me soon. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
