Let's Celebrate!

Hello,

Today over at digichoosday we are thinking all things green but not for you guys, its anything goes. We are keeping in mind St Patrick's Day for all those who celebrate it. I know of one family member who will be.

So today I have made a sweet card to share with you all. I gave it to my lovely friend for her big birthday.

I have used this darling image called Ruby-sweet which I have coloured in with my Promarkers and Copic's. The papers are from distress-ink-papers-plain along with a sentiment from winnie-celebrations-3-sentiments  
I have added flowers, stamens, pins and glittery ribbon all purchased from RibbonGirls who sadly now have closed. The image was cut out using a long forgotten Spellbinder die.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you can join in the fun over at the challenge and don't forget to check out the teams makes too.

Glitter me silly!

Hello,

Today I'd like to share 2 Christmas cards I have made to join in with a few challenges I follow. As I said a few posts ago I am going to try to make Christmas cards all year long to stave off that rush in November.

One challenge blog I follow is jinglebellesrock.  and this fortnight the challenge is to use GLITTER so I have made 2 cards to join in. They also had a few weeks back a challenge to use up a card front that you received but couldn't throw away and on both these cards I have done so Lol.

This card front has a decoupage couple sitting watching the fun around the tree. I have mounted it on to silver glitter paper. I have stamped green sprigs on the cardbase and after adding the topper I added red glitter glue dots. On the bench there is a little glitter too.

Now for my next card, this was real easy too as the topper was off another lovely Christmas card.

I took a 6x6 cream cardbase then I cut a 4x4 cream card which I added underneath some red mulberry paper. The topper was cut with a star die and then I added a black mat to pop it before adding it to a red glitter star.
The sentiment is added to some glitter paper before placing it in the corner. To finish off I added 2 black gems to opposite corners.
As always these look far better in real life but I hope you like what you see. Thanks for stopping by.

Congratulations!

Hi,

 I’d like to share this card I have made for my friend with you today. She has just become a Grandma and is soooo tickled pink about it (well it should say blue because its a boy!).

She is a crafter and loves to make keepsake boxes as well as Scrapbooking. So I thought plenty of layers with lace and flowers were called for.

 

I'm hoping to join in with the following challenges

we love to create #2

Oh Donny Osmond!

Hello,

Today I'm sharing this cute image  Millie-with-heart-balloon on my pastel birthday card.

It is for the new challenge starting over at A Gem of a Challenge and as a once HUGE fan of Donny and the Osmonds (can you tell my age?) I couldn't resist this title lol.

I made this 5x7 card covering with a piece of grey/green wood paper and then a embossed pearl paper which was treated to a bit of inking first, with a sheer ribbon tied and a puppy charm attached.

I cut 3 hearts from a deep pink tucking
one behind the image which has been added to a decorative mat which has some soft pink gingham on it. The image has been coloured in with my Promarker pens and fussy cut out with a nice deep foam pad behind to give lift.

I do hope you can come on over and join in the fun this week, I will look forward to checking out your blogs and leaving a bit of  LOVE.

Hi There,

Well today I am sharing this cute card I have made for this weeks challenge over at digichoosday. We are thinking about SPRING and all the things we have to look forward too. One of the first ones is Shrove Tuesday  better known as Pancake Day! This year it falls on March 5th. To make this card I used Julee Tilman's mojo-monday-508. sketch, yes she is back and has a new sketch every fortnight.

The card is 6x5 tent fold in cream and to that I have added a selection of papers from winnie-sugar-sprinkles-paper-heaven-4 and winnie-sugar-sprinkles-paper-heaven-7 . The adorable image is pancake-heaven-miss-sugarpops which I have coloured in using my Pro-marker pens. The cute sentiment is from pancake-sentiments  and I cut out the mat for her using  fanciful-circles-nested-set-6-craft-cutting-dies 

All of the above are ready for you  In Store  along with lots of other lovely things to help you make your upcoming SPRING themed cards and projects. Don't forget to join in the challenge as it is Anything Goes and there's a super prize for the winner and DT's top pick.

Be Different!

Hello and a Happy Sunday to you all.

Here I am again sharing a new card for the challenge starting over at Lilpatchofcraftyfriends.  As always we are a anything goes challenge but we as design team members have been given a image by our sponsor  thepapershelter.com  which is called I'm a Pandacorn, deal with it!  

I have made this 6x6 card. First I added the pink & white dot paper which I added the ribbon down the side then I took the pre-coloured image and matted it on to gold mirri and then I took a second image and fussy cut around the main image and added it on foam pads. I took the horn and hair tuft from the first base image and added that on top to give extra lift. I added clear sparkle pen to the horn and toadstools and spots on the butterflies.
The sentiments are from winnie-special-moments-quotes  and have both been added to gold mirri.  I did some faux stitching around the 3 sides and added 3 pearls to the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you can join in with us as the winner will receive a voucher for 3 images of their choice over at the sponsors online store.
