Baby Shower

Good Morning

Hope you're ready for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft

 - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is "Die cuts only"

Get the use out of those dies!

  I've used a onesie die that I think is from The Greeting Farm. 

I must say, I do love this die. The possibilities are endless with it. 

The card itself needed to me neutral hence the mint green, lemon, white and grey. 

The card blank itself is also embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. 

Hope you enjoy the challenge

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenge -

CAS on Friday - Dies

MTTC DT - Check It out!

Morning! 

A brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

 

This time we have the challenge of "Check it Out!" 

 

I do love using check paper :) 

 

 

I used an image that I've had coloured up for ages! It's from Saturated Canary and is called Violet Vintage - Link is HERE 

She has been coloured using Promarkers on white linen cardstock. I wanted to go with vintage looking colours, luckily when I came to add this image to a card that I had checked paper to match! Always a bonus! :) :) 

The back layer is kraft card that's been embossed using a linen card. Added think blue ribbon and bow using an orange brad. The flower in the bottom right corner is a brown paper punched out lots of times with a brad in the middle. Just ruffle it up and you have your own flower. 

I hope you have as much fun with the challenge that we have! 

CWWC DT - Hearts

Good Morning! 

  We have a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

 

"Hearts" 

 

We want to see Hearts on your projects. Perfect for just before valentine's :)

For this challenge we are sponsored by the awesome Sami Stamps - Link is HERE 

I got to use the awesome image of Wild Flower Beauty - Link is HERE

I went with a CAS card as the image is so beautiful. 

 

 

She has been coloured using promarkers with copics on the hair to add some depth too. The background is embossed swirls and the hearts have been punched out. Added a bit of bling but no sentiment as I wanted the image to be prominent. 

I hope you enjoy the challenge as much as we did! 

PLEASE remember to follow the rules too! 

Have fun :)

 

 

MTTC - Love is all around

Morning! 

A brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This time we have the challenge of "Love is all around" 

There are so many ways to interpret this theme. 

I went with a wedding card. 

I made this as an order for a couple who are massive Walsall FC football fans. Their colours are Red with White hence the red glitter dress. The dress itself is actually a mulberry topper, I just added loads of glitter! The frame behind is die-cut along with the panel behind being embossed. 

I really enjoyed making this card. Here's a few more pics :) 

Look forward to seeing your creations! 

DTBST DT - Monochromatic

Morning SSD Fans! 

A new challenge over at DTBST today - Link is HERE 

Challenge this week is "monochromatic!"

I was struggling a little with this but I had to make a Frozen themed card for an order so decided to use this for the challenge :)

I coloured her up first with promarkers, added the swirl embossed card to some light blue backing and then added all my elements. All I had for the order was "princess/frozen, glitter and bling" think I pulled it off! 

The greeting is printed on to vellum and pushed up away from the card. The snowflakes are die cuts :)

Hope you enjoy the challenge! 

I'm off to colour her up in red. See what she looks like ;)

But first I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

1. Penny's Paper Crafty challenges - Celebrations
2.  I love Promarkers - Anything Goes
3. Cute Card Thursday - Ladies Only

CF DT - Fairy Ink

Eeeeek! I love the image I've used for this card!! 

Let's start the post off properly! 

Good Morning! 

I hope you are all well wherever you are around the world. 

This week we are sponsored by the awesome Faery Ink - Link to shop HERE 

over at Creative Fingers - Link is HERE 

 As always the theme is "Anything Goes" 

This challenge will be our last for 2015 and will last 2 weeks. 

So here's what I come up with...

I LOVE this image!!! Image is called Holiday Tree Destiny - Link is HERE

She is soooo super cute! I knew straight away that I would be using her for my little cousin's Christmas card. Abigail is not very girly so I decided to colour her blue. The blonde hair represents Abigail too. I have used a 6x6 paper sheet and an embossed card with swirls on the background which have both been layered on to grey and cyan coloured card. The ribbon is from IKEA and it's got the wire running around the edge so it's easy manipulated. She has been coloured using Promarkers. 

Here's a few more pics...

  

There you have it! I really enjoyed making this card. Have fun with the challenge! 

I am also entering this into the following challenges : 

1. Crafty Catz - Shades of Blue

CWWC DT - Whimsical With Wings

Good Morning! 

I was AWOL for the last challenge, my apologies! I didn't realise the date as it was my Dad's 60th Birthday weekend so most things went out the window that weekend. 

Anyhow's, on to the new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE 

The new challenge is "Whimsical With Wings" 

We are sponsored by the awesome Aurora Wings - Link to shop is HERE

I was lucky enough to use the super cute Honey Bee Sprite - Link is HERE 

Here's what I've come up with, 

The card itself is an 8" by 8", boy did I print the image way too big!! But I think it works. I coloured the little dude in with Spectrum Noir Pens and used a swirly embossed background. Sentiment is printed off the pc. 

Hope to see you stop by the blog and play along :) 

Creative Fingers DT - Anything Goes

Morning! 

On the blog today, finally, a Christmas card! 

It's the 2nd one I've done now LOL Still need to get a wiggle on tho! EEEEK! 

So the challenge over at Creative Fingers is Anything Goes but it's running for TWO WEEKS - Link is HERE 

We are sponsored this week by the awesome Scrappers Delight - Link to store is HERE 

I got to use the adorable Sophie Victorian - Link to image is HERE

Here's what I did 

Coloured her up with Promarkers, wanted to add a bit of colour from the normal traditional colours but also wanted to keep the background CAS with white embossing so she pops out. Added a ribbon and bow, had to add a bell too. I love those little bells. And then I came across the die-cut signs I completely forgot I had! I think they finish off the card. Added a couple of gems for some sparkle and finished. 

Hope to see you by the blog, what's easier than an anything goes challenge right?!

I'm also entering in to the following challenge:

1. Crafty Catz - Embossing

Ellie LOVES Frozen so this is her card for her 8th Birthday which is next week. The background is embossed with a swirl folder and a snow folder. All the little snowflakes are punched out too. "Ellie" and the "8" are die-cuts along with the bigger snowflake. I am ummming and arrring whether to glitter up her dress, I know I will end up doing it. Who doesn't love a bit of glitter right?! 

I've decided, she needs a glittery dress!

I decided to go with red and white as I love this for Christmas cards. This is only the second or third one I've made! EEEEKKK! I really need to start them! 

The image has been coloured in using promarkers. The background itself is embossed and the ribbon is from Next. You get 3 on a spool. Not bad really! 

Here's some more pics... 

I'll definitely be using this image again! 

Hope to see you all stop by the blog :) 

SSD Sponsorship - Banners

Afternoon! 

Today SSD is sponsoring Paper A La Mode over at The OutLawz - Link is HERE 

The current challenge is to use a banner. I've gone with someat a little different then your normal conventional banner so to speak. 

Thought I'd colour the image in slightly different this time round as I usually do her red dress and black gloves so opted for green and a black background. Think it works. The sentiment I had printed for ages. Now the banners are a die cut with each end being pointed but I decided to cut one up to layer them up. Added a bit of card candi to make them look like buttons. The image has been coloured using Promarkers too :) 

Really enjoyed making this CAS card with a darker background than I usually do!

I went with a subtle image and a lot of white card! Embossed white card tho ;) 

Had to add the ribbon, twine and button bow! A trademark of mine I think lol. The image has been coloured using Promarkers. It was a tricky image to colour but a good challenge all the same :) 

A super quick post from me! Hope to see you playing along at Creative Fingers too.

I've used the lovely Lizabeth Rockabilly - Link is HERE.

I decided to go with a CAS card again as I wanted her quite prominent on the card. She's been coloured using Promarkers and Spectrum Noir Pens. As you can see, I used spotty ribbon, a button and twine - but I use that on most cards too! LOL 

 We would love you to stop by the blog and come play along! 

Creative Fingers DT - Anything Goes

Good Morning!

It's nearly the weekend yay! 

This morning we have a new "anything goes" challenge going on at Creative Fingers - link is HERE.

This challenge we are sponsored by the awesome Sweet Pea Stamps. 

I was super excited as I got to choose this badboy image! 

I love this image! It's super punky! And she is called "Lucy Loo Longleggings" - link is HERE 

She's AWESOME! She has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens and Copics. The greeting is printed off the pc. I also wanted to do the card quite dark to have more emphasis on the image so hence the black. The panel in which she is attached to is embossed with stars. The edge of the glitter card is punched out with a Martha Stewart punch. Of course I had to get some twine and a button in there LOL 

Stop by the blog and play along.. An anything goes challenge is easy peasy!
