Sugar Nellie DT - Summer Smiles

Hello again!It's my day for posting on the Sugar Nellie blog today and I am showing a card I have made using the Summer Adorables digi image Summer Smiles which is available here from Funky Kits. I used some old papers and lace from my stash on the card and coloured the image in with my Promarkers before I cut her out leaving a small border.

I added a My Favourite Things sentiment and some paper flowers from The Ribbon Girl to match the papers and finished with some stick on pearls.

 

Here is a little close up of my image.  I added some stickles to the flowers on her shoes and the little hearts on her bag and top to give her a bit of extra sparkle. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Pollycraft DT for the Pollycraft Challenge - Fun in the Sun

Hello Everyone! Another fortnight has flown by and it is now time for a brand new Challenge on the Pollycraft Challenge blog. Our theme this time is 'Fun in the Sun' and I have used the lovely Lil' Dumplins Nipper on my card. I coloured him in to match the Echo Park Paradise Beach papers I used on my card and then cut him out using a Spellbinders die.

 I added some jute mesh ribbon under the image and used a Stampin up Punch for the tab which was stamped with a My Favourite Things sentiment.

My Image was coloured with a mix of Promarkers and Graph'it pens and I added some orange stickles as sparkly sand. I hope you will be able to join us for our latest Challenge for the chance to win a £10 shopping spree at Pollycraft... Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the DT too!

I {heart} Maurice

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a good start to the week. We had a very successful day at the Carboot sale on Sunday but I was exhausted tired yesterday! All the Sun and fresh air made me very tired! I have a card to share with you today which I made using an older Pollycraft image of my favourite Maurice. The card is for my Best Friend's Dad who is retiring at the end of this month.

 I used Echo Park papers from the 'Note to Self' 6x6 pad and added some Glitz Designs stickers and a gorgeous red ribbon from Hobbycraft.

The little tab is punched with a Stampin' up punch and I coloured Maurice in with a mixture of Promarkers, Flexmarkes and Graph'it markers. Doesn't he look fab in his funky red shirt! I finished with a stick on pearl and a little wooden button. I hope you have a good Tuesday!

MMCSDT - Elsie with Butterflies

Hello Everyone! Sorry I have been a bit quiet this week. I have been rushed off my feet preparing for a Carboot sale today and some family celebrations this week. Normal service should resume next week. I am kicking off a new themed week on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today. Our theme this week is 'Animals' which was the perfect opportunity to share a card made using one of the adorable new Wild Rose Studio stamps which are available at My Mum's Craft Shop.

The image I have used is called Elsie and Butterflies and is available here. I also used papers by Wild Rose Studio. I added lots of lovely flowers and a gorgeous Ribbon from the Ribbon Girl and a sentiment from one of the new My Favourite things sets.

Here is a close up of my image which I coloured in with Promarkers and Graph'it markers. She is so sweet and was lovely to colour in. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Ribbon Girl DT - July Colour Challenge - Blue and White

Hello again! I am back with my DT card for this month's colour Challenge on the Ribbon Girl Blog. Our colour theme this month is 'Blue and White' a lovely cool combination in this hot weather! 

I have used some My Mind's Eye papers and made a card without a coloured image which is something I do not do often! I used a sentiment from the Artistic Outpost Happiness set. I stamped it onto white card and then die cut it into a circle and inked around the edges when it was still in the die.

I embellished my card with lots of Ribbon Girl goodies. I have used:

• Pastel buttons
• Blue rolled roses
• Blue lace
• Blue hemp twine
• White satin ribbon
• Stick on pearls
• Large Butterfly charm
• Mini blossoms
• Cherry blossoms

 I had some papers left over so decided to decorate a little empty chocolate box to match. I used most of the same embellishments and added a little punched butterfly too.

Here are the card and box together. I love the pretty papers, spots and stripes are my favourites!

I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge. We have a great inspiration photo for you.

We have two fabulous prizes for our lucky winner from Lili Of The Valley and Ribbon Girl

Enjoy the rest of your Weekend! I am off to Paulton's Park today to celebrate my gorgeous God-daughter's birthday. Peppa Pig World here we come!

MY Mum's Craft Shop DT - Summer!!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoying this gorgeous Summery weather we have been having lately. Our theme this week on the My Mum's Craft shop blog is Summer. which is rather fitting! I must admit, when the themes were chosen I was expecting it would be raining and cold as usual! How wrong was I?

I have used some lovely Summery Echo Park papers on my card and a fun stamp by My Favourite things called 'Aloha' which is available here. I cut the beach and the sea using the Dienamics Snowdrift die and popped some green mesh under the sand bank, a paper flower, starfish charm and some stick on pearls around them. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using a die and layered onto others circles  to look a bit like a sun.

Here is a close up of my image which was coloured with Graph'it pens and Promarkers. I cut her out leaving a small border before adding her to the card with foam pads. I hope you have a lovely Sunday! I will be attending the Coronation Festival at Buckingham Palace today!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - You're a Hoot!

Hello Everyone! It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft shop blog and I have made some CAS cards using the adorable 'You're a Hoot' stamps which are available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I used a woodgrain paper from the Echo Park 'Here and now' pad for my first card. I rounded one of the corners of the card and the blue paper with a corner punch and sewed around the edges after I had die cut a circle in the centre.

I stamped the owl on white card with brown in and layered him behind the aperture using foam pads and added a sentiment I had stamped onto a banner shape underneath it. I then finished with a tiny pearl and flower. 

I made a second mini card using the same set and some yellow paper from the same Echo Park pad. The card is really tiny and only measures 9cm square.

I stamped the sentiment and Owl in black Archival ink this time and added a resin flower and a little gem to finish. I hope you have a lovely Sunny Sunday!

I then stamped the butterfly image onto white card and coloured it with alcohol markers before cutting it out and attaching it to the panel by it's body so the wings could be lifted.
