Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

This week's theme at Sweet Stampin'  is Spots and Stripes. I have no idea why I didn't go with spots or stripes but there you go! Was inspired by the paper which is hundreds of years old.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time our theme is Things With Wings. I was going to make this last week, had a great idea and then had lots of requests from folk for cards that I forgot about it and I've forgotten what my great idea was! However, a recent challenge at the Vera Lane Studio Facebook group came to my rescue.  The challenge was to make postage stamps for prompts that appeared every day in May.  I've finished the challenge but I'm not good at sharing my stuff and these wee guys haven't been seen yet and I think they probably deserve to get an airing (and yes, I think it probably was him.....)

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time the theme is Earth Day or Use Something Recycled.

The hangers were made using packaging that came on a pack of socks I bought recently (I only have one of these so Leo and Marie have to share it!).  The coffee wrapper on last card is made using the inside of a toilet roll.  I had grand plans to make a toilet roll album but that hasn't quite come off yet.  Maybe next time!

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time the theme is Green/St Patrick's Day.  Now I'm Scottish so I don't do St Patrick's day so I've gone with Green and I've made my own memorydex card using a circle and the memorydex punch.

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time the theme is Valentines.  Oh how I struggled.  My desk is strewn with the discarded cards that didn't make the cut.  I finally made one I was happy with and then had another idea so I did that too....

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time is (unsurprisingly) Christmas.  

 

I've made a wee frame which is now on display in the hall. I started this the other day to replace the autumn gnome one I did but there was something missing - then Vera Lane Studio released the Cutest of All set which has some fab wee reindeer in it and I knew it would be perfect to finish this off.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time is Birthdays! We are celebrating our own birthday at SS - we are 14!! 

This is the second version I have done of this, tried to be clever on the first version but..... the first one is now in the bin.  I fussy cut the typewriter and when I got round to the left hand side I noticed that where I had masked it in version 1 there was a 14 under the lever so I decided to leave that bit in!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and this time our theme is Masculine.  My favourite theme! And I have 2 cards which are kind of a variation on a theme. 

The first is a postcard I made using this fab Charlie Chaplin stamp and the second is a card I made for someone who likes photography (it was for a guy at work and I wasn't really sure he drank beer but it was the simplest thing I could think of to add the "photos" of.
