Another one completed, this one I am entering into the Stampin for the Weekend challenge Blue and Brown.

Green and Gold - Cute Daisy May DT card.

Our challenge today for you is GREEN and GOLD over at Cute Daisy May hopefully if you are still behind like me it will get you a little closer to finishing your xmas cards.
Ok course I have used one of Linnies great CDM's, I love the expression on the deers face.
These papers I have had for ages and this is the last of it :-( but they worked so well for this theme. The flowers are from Wild Orchid they are cream and I have sprayed them with gold glitter spray sorry the photo is not too great cos they look a bit yellow.

For this card I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday

The Golden Compass, Bling

The challenge for By the Cute and Girlyis Lets go to the movies. I have chosen this cute Bildlamarna image which puts me in mind of The Golden Compass. I am also entering the card into the Kraftin Kimmies Challenge which is bling.

Easel Card

I went with a green theme for this one and used Shabby Shutters Distress inks and am entering it into Create 4 Fun challenge which very handily is Easel cards, so managed to clock up another calender one.

Sketch 82

Same theme different colour this time I have mainly used Tea Dye Distress Inks and just love the effect you get.

I followed the sketch from Friday sketchers this time to add to my collection of calender easel cards for work only 4 more to go.

Christmas with a Twist

Thois is my entry for Stamptacular Sunaday Xmas with a twist a christmas card with no red or green.
I have kept the monochromatic theme and only used Weathered Wood Distress Ink with this cute image from Bidlamarna.

Snow

Those eagle eyed amongst you will probably see a bit of a theme going on here - I am loving the monochromatic look at the moment and have probably got a bit carried away with the distress inks.

I am entering this one into the The Secret Crafter Challenge which is Snow.

Let it Snow

Another calender card made - only another 10 to go :-(
For this one I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday and only used Blue Jeans Distress Inks on this cute snowman by Sugar Nellie.
The background was also done with the same distress inks and embossed with clear embossing powder to give a bit of sheen. The swirls are by Sheena Douglas.

This fits in with a few challenges
Sketch Saturday Sketch
Simon Says Let it Snow
Whimsy Stamps die Cuts
A Spoonful of Sugar Monochromatic
Paqpertake Weekly Red and Green Must NOT be Seen
Cupcake Craft Challenge A Christmas Carol
Instyle Stamps Snow

3 this time

I followed the sketch from Fab n Funky
the image is from Bidlamarna.

I made this as an easel card cos I want to do some calenders on the cards for the girls at work - working for a typical council that are trying to save money everywhere we are all now Hotdesking - snobby way of saying if you dont get in early you dont get to sit down - this means we cant leave anything on desks so no-one ever has a calender, hopefully as these are quite small they can be moved and stored easily.
this card also fits into the Spoonful of
Sugar Challenge Non traditional christmas colours and Cute
Card Thursday Swirly Girly.

Thanks for looking

4 in 1 card

I followed the sketch from Truly Scrumtious and followed the colours from Stampin for the Weekend of Red Green and Gold this also fits with the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp colours of Red Green and a neutral colour of choice and the Creative Card Crew red and green Christmas.

Sems Sketch

I made this card following the sketch at Sunday sketch and stamp using my very first Tilda stamp.
I added a handmade flower to the card cos I just know I saw a challenge for Magnolia stamps that included a hand mad flower, but dah I cant find the challenge now to enter it, how daft am I :-(

No matter I loved making the card anyways.

Easy Peasy

Now if you have come to me from The Cute Daisy May Challenge Blog, then your on way cause I have the privilege of being first.
Our challenge for the Hop was to make a card and use Gems and this is what I came up with

This little cutie can be found Here and is on sheet 47.
She is coloured with copics and mounted on Spellbinders Nesties which I have used Tattered Rose Distress inks and Crafters Companion Gold Spray on. The papers are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. The flowers are made with my new punches from Cuddly Buddly and are by Nellies Choice, I love them they emboss too! Oops musn't forget the important bit the 'Gems' are from my stash.

I kinda got a bit carried away with this card and carried on inside where I used this fab image from Sheet 115

I made the card into an Easel Card and cut her off of the swing she was sitting on in the drawing and attached her to a wooden swing (ok a bit of lollypop stick attached with wire), so that she swings when pushed.

A quick side view


I hope this inspires you!

Now onto the important bit your reward for getting through this post is to be entered into the draw for these cute Fairy Doodle Stamps.

I forgot to add that I have entered this card into the Saturday spotlight with Hidden Potential Challenge which is Hats. My CDM on the swing has a lovely bonnet.

Marlenes Sketch

I was asked to do another card using the same image and sketch that I used for the Sugar Bowl Challenge for a friend's twins birthday.

The papers are Eskimo kisses. To give a bit of depth I decoupaged the umbrella and bird, which I attached with silicone.

Challenge 6, Hazels sketch, Challenge 4

I got this cute digi snowman today from Victoria Case.
I would just love to know what secrets that snowman is telling the moon, although I have a sneaky suspicion their probably talking about the weather!

The challenge over at Victoria Case Stamp Challenge this week is a colour combo of Navy Silver/Grey and White.
I didn't think at first I would be able to fit this image into those colours, but in the end I think it kinda works okay.

I followed the sketch from Moving along with the times as it was a nice simple sketch, which I think fitted the image better. Creatalicious Challenge is Christmas snowflake and sparkle. So this fits for that one as well.

Snowman was coloured with Copics and a really fab Marvy Marker 'Twinklette' which would you believe I have had stuck in a drawer since before dot and never used, now I know how lovely it Im gonna be using it on v€erything.

Sketch 78

This is another of the Sugar Nellie stamps I got Friday I couldnt not ink her up too.
I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday although I did run out of room so couldnt add the text :-(

Eskimo Kisses Basic Grey
Perga liners Aquarelle Pencils
Swavorski Crystals
Sugar Nellie Santa's Little Helper
Fired Brick Distress Ink
This also fits with the Simon Says Challenge which is Animal Antics.
Thanks for looking

Challenge 24

This little beauty from Sugar Nellie arrived on my doorstep on Friday and this has been my first chance to ink it up.

I followed Marlene's sketch at The Sugar Bowl, this week it is to include the added element of Zig Zags. I covered this by using the Pinking blade on my rotacutter. Papers are Eskimo Kisses.

I coloured the image with Perga Liner Water Colour Pencils and Sakura glitter Pens for the flowers and of course Glamour dust for the added sparkle. I mounted the flowers on an icicle from the Range and added some Swavorski cyrstals for bling and Woodware fluffy stuff for the snow.

I'm also entering this into the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge which is
Christmas/Winter and Cute Card Thursday Teens.

Red Christmas DT for Cute Daisy May

Went to France on Saturday for a day trip with my work colleagues and had a four hour lunch - but I think all that food didnt agree with me and to serve me right I had the mother of all migraines yesterday so didnt get to make my DT card for
Cute Daisy May till this morning.

This week we want to encourage you to get well ahead of your christmas card list and make a card with the theme Red Christmas.

Couldnt quite finish it in time for the new challenge post but thought I would share it anyways.

This little poppet can be found on Sheet 115 Here.

I coloured her in Copics and Perga Liner water colour pencils. Added glitter for bling and snowflakes cut with a spellbinders die.

The DP is DCWV which I coloured with Distress Inks.

I am entering this into the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Challenge which is Glitter.

Thanks for stopping by

Just wanted to post this one before bed as I made it for the Victoria Case Stamp Challenge and forgot I hadnt posted it.

Image is a VC digi image which I coloured with copics and added glamour dust. DP is from Bearly Mine Designs Designer Extreme Vol 3 (I think or it could be Vol 1, used my spotty folder in the cuttlebug and added ribbons from stash and loads more of the snowflakes from the range.

Well Goodnite all - sweet dreams to those in the same time zone and have a great day the rest of you.

challenge 28

Just a quick post I made this card following the sketch at Papertake Weekly.

The image is a download from Cuddly Buddly Crafts. DP's are Eskimo Kisses by Basic grey. I added snow Tex round their feet, havent used that before and I have to say am well impressed with the results, I reckon I will be using this loads (should have got two pots lol). Snowflakes are from the xmas decorations section at the Range with a spellbinders die cut one to add a bit of extra bling.

Copic Colour Challenge 40 GDT

I added my name to the list of wanna be guest designers for the Copic Colour Challenge and was asked to join in with this weeks challenge. Thanks for the invite Adele. This weeks challenge is sponsored by In Style stamps



The colours for this weeks challenge are Karen's choice; RV23, YR04, YG06
Once I pulled these colours out I just knew that I needed to use a pixie digi image from Charmed Cards and Crafts.

I just love easel cards and couldnt resist doing just one more, which gave me an excuse to use another pixie and decoupage flower for the inside. The papers, buttons and decoupage flowers are from the Bloom and Grow set, by My Minds Eye. I cant wait to see what you all come up with for these colours.

Snow and #78

I was one of the lucky 150 to recieve a free digi image from In style Stamps. I chose an adorable Dressmaker, known as Seamstress Cynthia, and for the eagle eyed amongst you this is not it.

As I was looking to see which image I wanted I spied this little cutie Sandy and I bought her to enter into the Instyle Stamps Challenge which is Snow themed.

I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers

I coloured Sandy in Copics and added the essential glitter. DP is from Bearly Mine Designs. Matting done with my Nesties and the snowflakes are a mixture of Spellbinders Snowflakes die and Christmas Decorations from the Range.

The Range snowflakes are irridescent and look so cool IRL and they were really cheap. A big thanks to Ju
for the tip. If you havent seen Ju's blog pop over and take a look she has some lovely creations.

Texture - Cute Daisy May DT

Hello, Monday's here again already, how quick does that weekend go?

But what it does mean is that it's time for another challenge over at Cute Daisy May which this week we're going Touchy Feely with 'Textures' as our theme.

I still need to make loads of Christmas Cards so this my piece this week is helping out the cause.

I have chosen this cute Daisy holding her Poinsetta and coloured her with Copics. You can pick her up from Linnie Here and for those of you who may be a bit strapped for cash with xmas just round the corner, dont worry Linnie has put up the most adorable Elf which you can download for FREE. (I can't believe I didn't see him before he is a def must have lol).
I added fluffy stuff and glitter to her coat and dried it with a heat gun.


The ribbon is felt which I got last year and totally forgot I had Duh! Flower is a mixture of Petaloo and Hero Arts. I used my dot folder in the cuttlebug for a bit of extra texture.

Thanks for looking and I hope you will be taking part this week - I cant wait to see what you come up with. Oh and by the way Linnie is looking for a Guest Designer.

Apologies to anyone I didnt get round to seeing last week was having a bit of a computer meltdown.

This cute little guy is from Whimsy Stamps. I have coloured him with Distress Inks. I used my distressing tool around al the papers and used Vintage Photo Distress Inks on the edges.
The papers are from the set I got at Costco's. Ribbons are Anita's. The bone and paw prints I stamped and then triple embossed.
Nope you aren't seeing things the sentiment is upside down - I will sign the 'fession' yep it was a bit of a boo boo, but I kinda liked it - it sort of goes with the quizzical look on that dogs face.
