Crafty Sentiments - Mum

Crafty Sentiments challenge this week is devoted that most special person - Mum! This card however, is devoted to a different Mum, my MIL. She loves poppies so this will be winging her way soon.  I used one of the images that attracted me to Crafty Sentiments, unfortunately it's one of those images that is no longer available (won't stop me using it as it is definitely one of my go to images!!)


I coloured with copics (yeah, yeah will I ever change?) popped the dp on added a black cs die-namics scallop border and I used my die-namics By the letters dies to create the 'mum'.

Don't forget to bob over and show my teamies some love :)

Metropolis

Paper Smooches are challenging us to use cardstock, thankfully they've extended the deadline or else I'd have totally missed it!

I used my recently purchased (woohoo!) Paper Smooches Metropolis and I kinda cased Kryssi's card here

Enjoy ...

Christmas Card Challenges

Over at Christmas Card Challenges their theme this week is humour.  I thought hard about this one.  I remembered seeing some cool 'peas on earth' digis around, my fav is over at Whimsie Doodles.  However, I decided to really challenge myself this week (don't quite know why!) so I created my own digi (which you're welcome to have).  Once I'd created the digi this was a super quick card - print --> die cut --> punch circles --> stick on circles and sentiment --> add white doodling --> done!

Anyway, here it is ...

and if you would like it here are the digis, colour and black and white ...

Please remember not to share this on your own blog but feel free to direct people over here to me.  Thanks :)

Crafty Sentiments - Spots and stripes

I'm hosting over at Crafty Sentiments Challenge this week and it's spots and stripes, any colour or theme as long as there are those all important spots and stripes hiding in there!


I used one of the gorgeous Billy images, Birthday Presents. Isn't he a cutie and I'd love to know where those balloons are going to take him! I coloured him with my copics (note the pressie is spotty because I used the blender pen on it and there are spots around the image to try and highlight the fact that he's in the sky.) My papers are from a freebie pack that I got with a magazine and note that there are stripes and spots in the corners! I added a computer generated sentiment, inked around the edges and voila!


Don't forget to pop on over the the challenge blog and leave my teamies some love!

happy birthday

I recently splurged and bought a few stamp sets that I had my eye on for a while, I managed to buy thme from Make the Day Special (very reasonably priced and it means no buying from the states and incurring those custom charges!).  One of these was Lawn Fawns alphabets, quinn's abc's.  Love this set but need to play more with it.  I love the way it's so easy to line up on my block as the letters are still in rectangles of polymer so they sit beside each other perfectly and the spacing looks great.  I stamped in Memento, coloured with copics and then added the glitter! Jobs a good un!

I thought I'd show you a close up so you can see the glitter (i used stickles)

Crafty Sentiments - For a Child

How are you at creating children's cards? I'm definitely getting better as I seem to be having quite a bit of practice, that's what 3 kids with a hectic social life do for your cardmaking! Anyway I managed to mix this week's Crafty Sentiments challenge into a party card, the girls needed another card for yet another party.


This was one of those quickie cards, I created this card bylaying out my own sentiment and images online.  I separated  Tobey Heart Balloon - digi  (well I had 2 images and I cropped the right bits!) and then joined them back together by drawing more string then I printed and coloured with my copics, cut it to size and popped on a green card base (it's pearlescent but you can't see that in the pic!)

• Stamps - Tobey Heart Balloon
• Copics - E50,51,54,57   G63,67  R24,27,29  Y21,23 YR23
• Pearlescent geen card

**ETA - only just realised this hasn't worked! Typical! Scheduling normally works!**
