Guest Designers

NanaConnie

NanaConnie said: Bugaboo Stamps image "Skull Tree."  It was such a wonderful silhouette, I printed it large enough to fill the entire card front and my only embellishment was the added bits of glitter to the eyes and the pumpkin.  Nice CAS design.

Fit Kitty

For my card, I chose the adorable Strawberry Mouse by Karen Middleton at Sweet Pea Stamps. I coloured this little cutie with Prismacolor pencils and fussy-cut so I could pop him up with foam tape.  I made a fun background with some angled panels.  I started by stamping a leaf cluster with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.  Then I did some ink blending with the same Distress Ink.  I layered red, green, and black cardstock strips and some strawberry-patterned paper strips.  I die-cut the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks in red and added some punny words with my Dymo label maker.  I added a strawberry charm from my stash, tied with baker's twine, and finished off the card with a number of white sequins.

For this heart easel card, I´m working with "How to tame the beast", design by Charity Dauenhauer and provided by Sweet Pea Stamps.

GABRIELA

My tower is to the charming CLYDE, who kindly gives us the sponsor BUGABOO DIGI STAMPS !!!!

KEMLY.

Hi! This week my animal magic is the beautiful and mysterious unicorn. In my card, the adorable  Unicorn   of  our sponsor BUGABOO DIGI .

Lyn

For my second card for this challenge I've used the same image as last week, but instead of using light colours I've gone for darker shades and loads of gems and glitter. The papers I've used this time are called 'Neighbourwood'. Half of the 48 sheets are already glittered. There's leaves, acorns, tree bark, flowers, butterflies and sheets with animlas, which I've punched out. The little bottle contains magical purple fary dust! It's a little cord necklace for someone who's a Pisces... There's a little fairy charm attached too!

Unfortunetly my intended Bugaboo card (which was rabbits and elephants on some rabbit rainbow backing paper) got covered in dust after hubby sandpapered the walls in my near empty craft room and worse still, he can't remember where he put my box of Promarkers! So...here's an oldie from last year, featuring a chick and an elephant.

DORIS 

For this card I used the Monster Rose-Colored, and this is a little different because you don´t need to paint, this cute monster is already colored. Just print and cut it. As additional elements I used a button, orange floss and little Love sentiment.

Cazzy

I had to show you this image and sentiment combo, it makes me laugh so much! I've already seen Christmas tins of biscuits and chocolates in the shops! This is called Halloween Christmas Owl Trio from Bugaboo.

This is a very quick Christmas card to follow on from the owls, using Snowflake Silhouette Reindeer  from Bugaboo, to which I added a lilac shadow then covered in glitter film before die cutting.

Here's some inspiration from our Design Team 

First, our guest designers 

NanaConnie

BIG apology to NanaConnie - Cazzy totally forgot to add her gorgeous card! NanaConnie used Lisa Victoria's Snowflake Wonder.
Fit Kitty

Thank you to Cazzy and the Quirky Crafts Design Team for inviting me to be your guest designer!  For my card, I chose a gorgeous image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps called Silhouette - Happy Halloween Cat.  I got really inky with my card! This silhouette image is perfect for an inky background. I blended a spooky sky with Distress Inks:  Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Dusty Concord, and Black Soot.  


I wanted to add some tiny stars with silver embossing paste and Memory Box Starry Nights stencil, but I ended up smudging them, so I wiped them off - you can still see a bit of the silver in places and I thought it left a cool shimmery effect!  I added lots of water drops, a Spider Web die-cut (Impression Obsession), and a number of black sequins. The inky panel was die-cut with Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Border and I mounted it on black cardstock and then onto a white card base.  


Auntie Sue

Today I am so pleased to be GDT this week and have made this card using Charmaine Flannery's Dragon's Keeper- DIGI  from our generous sponsor Sweet Pea Stamps. I have coloured my image with a mixture of Promarkers and Lyra Rembrandt Pencils. Papers are from Laura Ashley and lots of gems, lace, ribbons and die cuts added to embellish it. 


  And now...The Quirky Team.

DORIS

For this magical challenge, I decided to paint the gorgeous Charmaine Flannery's Squirreling Around image, from our amazing sponsor Sweet Pea Stamps. I just used the Spectrum Noir Alcohol Makers and a frame.

MONICA

For me, one of the most magical animals are dragons. For my doctor bag shaped card, I used the lovely Clyde Get Well provided by our generous sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. 

GABRIELA

For my card I chose this beautiful unicorn, reminding me of the horses we know, I would gladly take care of an unicorn in my house.  The image Karen Middleton's Unicorn Heart comes from our sponsor Sweet Pea Stamps.

KEMLY

For this week my card has a beautiful and sweet dragon, 

 Bedtime Moon ,

of our sponsor Sweet Pea. This little dragon takes his time reading bedtime. 

He sits in the beautiful moon. 

This is one of my favorite magical animals !

Cazzy

 This is Hedgehog flower from Bugaboo, hedgehogs are always magical to me, I love it when they come through the garden at night eating bugs, is the ladybug about to be eaten I wonder?

This is Charmaine Flannery's We're All Mad Here, she is beautiful and crazy and has a magical crazy (Cheshire?) cat on her lap, and playing cards flying through the air! 

Lyn - will be late for her own challenge!

Sorry sorry sorry everyone!! I'm here now!!

I love this image by  Sweet Pea Stamps. It's called, 'Time For A Tale.' (Please click on the link to see a really fabulous coloured picture of the image)  I've coloured with Promarkers, added loads of Stickles Glitter, foam lettering, felt flowers, a sewn on button, gems and eyelash wool.

And, because I knew I was going to be late, here's an Oldie from Bugaboo.

Reminder Challenge #19 Some Like it Hot! Summer Memories,

 Hi Quirky people! Thank you for joining in with our .....

  Some Like it Hot! Summer Memories Challenge so far! This is a reminder that there's still a whole week to join in! Go HERE  or scroll down to join in.  At the moment, I'm hopefully sunning myself on a Cornish beach, but knowing my luck (This is Lyn by the way!) it's probably raining cats and dogs!  So, it's over to you! Go make something crafty, it can be virtually anything that reminds you of bygone summers.  They could be beach scenes, summer picnics, (I always think of sticky buns and wasps!) fishing for tadpoles, or crabs, hot rainy days, (even cold rainy days!) flowers, buzing insects, lots of bright colours or something completely different, it's up to you!! Can't wait to see some of those summer memories in your projects!

 Our fabulous sponsors for this fortnight are Bugaboo and Digital Delights.

 

  Our first place winner will receive 7 images of their choice from

Bugaboo

our second place winner will receive a $5 voucher from
Digital Delights! 

 

Our third prize is 2 images from Bugaboo.

     
 Here are a few creations by our Guest Designers

Myriam (Isha)

​I made a sunglasses card using the Beach Babe Britt stamp from our sponsor Digital Delights. My dad always loved to take us to the beach. We used to have a lot of fun!

And here's a few more fabulous projects  by our Design Team:

CINDY

Bittersweet time for me... this is my last post as a design team member. :(  Thanks to all of you who have played along and keep doing so!  This Art Journal page was fun to create!  I used a background I had created in a class a few months ago and finished it off just for you!  Check out my blog for the how tos...

MONICA

My Summer Memories are always related to hours spent by the shore, looking for shells, star fishes and sand dollars. This lovely "Isabella Beach"" reminds me myself as a little girl, just having fun with the most simple things of life.

I made a 3d card trying to give the sense of the little girl by the shore. My digi is colored with Spectrum Noir pens.

 KEMLY

For this Summer Memories,  I used "Crab Boat",  that reminds me when my little sister played with a boat during one of our  family's trip in 1978.

I made a wave card which reminds this adventure. The digis is colored with coloured pencils.

Cazzy - I will be along later. I want to say a big thank you to Cindy for being a great Quirky teamie, and I hope we will see you around in future.

Phew - made it! This is not a finished project, I have decided it will make a lovely notebook but just don't have the time to finish it today, so I thought I would show you the panel as it is. The digis are all from Digital Delights, the little girl is Beach Babe Britt, and I added a coconut tree (which is part of the Jungle Buddies accessories set) and oysters (clams) with their trail of pearls, just like you would find on the average British beach (not), seriously it does remind me of the Torquay palm trees which grow in our hotel garden in Torquay, and there are lots of shells on the beach but no pearls! It is coloured with Promarkers, with Liquid pearl pearls, and Cosmic Shimmer sunglass lenses (second attempt - note to self: do not use Rock Candy Stickles for glasses ever again!). Papers are freebies.

I am also working on a Bugaboo project, hope to show you soon!

For this card I combined Summertime Peekers  - swim, Beach Baby 2 and Beach Monkey Swim to create a scene that reminds me of watching children swimming in the sea this summer. I used some pale blue beach hut printed vellum behind the die cut scene, fixed with fish brads.

Lyn - will be along later too!

 

Here I am! Late for my own challenge...it's about 2 in the morning but I have been away! I used Bugaboo's cute little fishing monkey...and gave him a friend, memories of Hubby John and brother in law, Alistair, fishing off Old Harry Rocks in a sinking boat! I've 3D-ed the little monkeys and coloured them with Promarkers. I have another card I'll add later...

 And as if by magic...Here's my next card added just before midnight Wednesday. Same Backing papers and that cute little swimming Bugaboo monkey, which I've 3D-ed.

 

 .I've coloured with Promarkers, added by own 'scene' plus, Stickles Glitter glue, a ribbon, a rub-on sentiment and a seahorse charm. Still time to jpin in!

 
We have wonderful news - Doris is back on the team! Welcome back Doris!

 Doris 

Super excited to return to the home of The Quirky Crafts Challenge. I want to share this little card that I made using the BeachM Fish image, wish is provided by our amazing sponsor Bugaboo. In this case I use the Spectrum Noir to paint it and some SVG files for the background. Hugs!!
