Cards for Men has that loving feeling

This time over at Cards for Men we want to see your Valentine's Cards.  Anything with a love theme will do so long as it's for a man/boy, of course.

Here's my DT card for the challenge which this week is sponsored by Praire Fairy.  I've always loved Roberta's images and particularly like this one called 'Roopid'.  Please take a look across at the main post where you'll find more wonderful cards and all the details of the challenge.  The prize up for grabs is 5 digi images of your choice.

I've used Bazzill basics as the base of my card which is 6"x6".  The image is coloured with Promarkers and die-cut using a fab die from Go Kreate.  I won a set recently in a candy run by Mandy over at Crafty Fox Cards and they're great.

The hearts are stickers from DCWV that I've had for ages and the button in the bottom right corner is a 'flatback' from Craftime.  I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Cards for Men Challenge - No. 14 and a new challenge blog

The weeks are just whizzing by you know.  Here's my card for the latest challenge over at Cards for Men where the theme is 'Christmas in July'.  The sponsor is the wonderful Roberta from Prairie Fairy and the prize is 5 digis of your choice.

Please pop over to Cards for Men where you'll find all the details and some great ideas from the rest of the team.

For my card I've used Bazzill Dotted (colour:Salt) which has been cut to make a 6" square base.  I've also used Bazzill Basics (Berrylicious and Guacamole) for the layering.  The Design Papers are from Dovecraft 'Tis the Season' and so is the Brad.  The image is from Prairie Fairy and has been coloured with my Prismacolours.  The stamp is from Dovecraft 99p stamps but I don't think it's available anymore.  Shame!

I really liked the way this card turned out because although I have made it with a man in mind, it is very unisex and easy to reproduce.  I may end up with more of these before Christmas.

Hope to see your cards over at Cards for Men.

I almost forgot (in fact I did, lol), the new challenge blog I referred to is Just Inspirational Challenges and here at Donna's Den of Crafts we're proud to be sponsoring their first challenge.  Pop over and have a go.

'Happy Birthday' to a brand new challenge

So here is my DT card for the first challenge here on Donna's Den of Crafts.  Our theme is Happy Birthday and you can find all the details as well as the rest of the Design Team's cards in the post above.

For this card I've used Bazzill Basics Cardstock which was cut 4"x12" then tri-folded to make a 4"x4" square card.  It's hard to see from the photo but the layer between the yellow and turquoise is actually a dotty patterned paper.  This and the DP used inside are from the DCWV Citrus range.  The image is called Lenny and he's from Prairie Fairy.  I've coloured him using Prismacolors and blended with Sansodor.  The sentiment inside is computer generated and the stickers are also from the DCWV Citrus range.  The ribbon was from my stash.

Please pop over to the main post and join our challenge.  As it's our first week, there's an extra special prize and we're really hoping for a good turnout.

Cards for Men Challenge - No. 6

Here's my card (very late!) for the latest challenge over at Cards for Men.  This time the challenge is 'Happy Birthday' and the prize is three digi stamps of your choice from Prairie Fairy. 


I've used a Spellbinders Pinking Circle to cut out my card then a circle of yellow followed by my image which is called Robot Boy and has been coloured with my Prismacolors.
