GDT 4 CRAFTY CHICKS - RED AND WHITE

Hi everyone

I am so excited to be here today as Guest Designer at 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge  and this is to be for four weeks too.  There are four brilliant themes so I do hope you are able to play along.  The first one, today, is simply 'Red and White' how lovely is that, and so lovely and bright and cheerful!

There is not a great deal to tell about this card.  The papers are the lovely Tilda papers and the image is a Whiff of Joy one designed by the very talented Elisabeth Bell.  The Magnolia Tag is removable, I have left a little pocket in which to insert it.  It is machine stitched, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves made using the Martha Stewart 'Branch' punch.

  

Do pop over to 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge Blog for full details, it would be great if you could take part and there is some lovely inspiration to be had from the Design Team.

I would like to enter this into the following Challenges:

Chocolate Coffee and Cards Challenge - Anything Goes
The Corrosive Challenge - Summertime Girls
DYSU Challenge - Red
Stampavie and More challenge - Lots of Flowers

As always, thanks for looking,

WEE RIBBONS AND BOWS

Hi everyone,

I was absolutely thrilled to find a copy of the Papercraft Essentials Magazine in town with the free stamps created by Sylvia Zet.  I think I got the only copy left in Town!  I could not wait to get this little beauty inked up.  It was one of those that went wrong for me from start to finish though when i started colouring (strange how sometimes this happens and yet other times it is plain sailing)  and she very nearly went in the bin!  As you will gather I am a great lover of Sylvia Zet's stamps, and Digis so i have included the link as it could be of use to someone.

All this red, white and blue that is around at the moment has really put me into a more vibrant mode, although I do struggle with colouring the deeper colours.

Die-cuts:  Marianne Creatables corners, 
Martha Stewart punch
White bows from a friend (Thanks Choccy)
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Papers:  Tilda
Machine Stitched 
Stickles in a combination of colours from stash (don't ask! lol - it all went wrong! lol)

ELZYBELL SPECIAL DAY!

Hi everyone

Well, I am not going to even start to comment on the weather, perhaps if we ignore it then it might get the message! lol

Today I have a card to share which I have made using a lovely Elzybell stamp (oh how we miss that shop!).  It has been coloured by a very dear friend of mine using Prisma Pencils.  So very clever, I always think!  I incorporated it with this fancy fold layout and am quite pleased with the effect.  There is not a lot to tell about this card, so briefly:


Die-cuts:  Magnolia
Punches: Martha Stewart
Flowers:  Wild Orchid Crafts
Pearls, Cheesecloth and Charm from EBay
Papers:  ? either prima or Melissa Frances I think?

WEE SUZI

Morning everyone

Firstly I would like to welcome my new followers, and say a huge thank you to you all for the lovely comments I am receiving.  These mean so much to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Today I have a card to share using this gorgeous Wee stamp created by the very talented Sylvia Zet.  I just love these images.  They are available from Whimsy, in Digi and also as Hobby House Toppers now.  How lucky are we!  We can get our digis HERE, or the rubber stamps we can get at Quoixotic Paperie.  I have just learned something too, there are more than I thought there were because there is a SCACD section there too!  I need to take a better look later!!!!!  And the Hobby House Toppers can be found here and also  here.  These are the UK Stockists I have found so far.

So, onto the card.  I spotted a Challenge at Whimsy where the theme is 'Anything But Square', and this is what inspired me.  I had this lovely set of 'blossom' card blanks by Hunky Dory given for my birthday (thanks Kelly) and I was itching to use them!  So here it is:


Die-cuts:  Memory Box, cheery Lyn and Magnolia Tag
Wee Suzi stamp, coloured with Copics and Promarkers
NO PAPERS!!!! (that is a first for me!)
Doiley pearls and cheesecloth from EBay 
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Whimsy Challenge - Anything But Square

Fab n Funky Challenge - Cute and Girly

Creative Inspirations Challenge - Anything Goes

Crafty Creations challenge - Embellish It

I am hoping to put this card on EBay on Sunday along with some others. (There is a link on my sidebar to my EBay items).
