Sugar Nellie DT - Butterfly Girl

Hello Everyone! Phew! The Weekend has finally arrived! I have a busy day lined up and a good old crafting session planned this evening in front of the telly. I have a quick post for you today to share a card I made using the Saturated Canary digi 'Butterfly Girl' who is available here from Funky Kits.

 I coloured in very bright colours to match my papers which are from an American Crafts pad. I added a sentiment from Lili of the Valley and a few bits and bobs from my stash dotted around. The butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch and I topped one of them with a tiny resin flower from Katy's Decoden which is a fabulous shop with so many lovely treats!

Here is a close up of my coloured image which was coloured with Promarkers as usual. I used Umber, Cocoa and Cinnamon on her hair which seems to be a new favourite combo of mine at the moment. I hope you have a lovely Saturday!

My Mums's Craft Shop DT - Happy Birthday Ryan!

Hello Everyone! My eldest Son turned 16 today and I wanted to make him a funky birthday card he would actually like! I struggled to find a stamp which was suitable for a Teenage boy and then stumbled upon this fab digi image from Saturated Canary which looks like a lot like my Ryan. I used Echo Park papers from the Echo Park Scoot pad and a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler set.

I used the Dienamics Mini Double dot border to cut a fancy border to hide the join between the two papers and then sewed around the edges. The banner was cut using the Dienamics fishtail dies and I stamped some Whiff of Joy numbers on it and added die cut letters. I tied some twine around the banner before adding it to the card and popped a little spotty button on top.

Here is a close up of my coloured in image. I coloured him in with Promarkers and then cut him out leaving a small border before adding him to the card with foam pads. I finished off with a couple of little stick on pearls. I hope you have a lovely Sunday! We are going to a Christening today and then will be taking Ryan out for dinner this evening to celebrate.

I will leave you with a picture of the Birthday boy 16 years ago!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Anyone need a free hug?

Hello Everyone! I have  another Saturated Canary card this week for my Mum's Craft Shop DT post. This image is my favourite of all the Saturated Canary stamps which recently arrived at My Mum's Craft Shop. I think she has beautiful eyes and I love her hair as well. She was really lovely to colour in.

I used papers from the gorgeous Glitz Design 'Hello Friend' paper pad which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I also added some of the beautiful Hobby House roses and stick on pearls.

My image was coloured with Promarkers and I added stitching around all the edges of my layers.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday! I will be playing with some of the new Christmas stash which I ordered this week, make sure you check out the new Products section of the website for some fabulous new goodies to get you started on your Christmas cards.

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Ellie's Birthday

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and having a good Weekend so far, I am hopefully on my way to Alexandra Palace right now and will be meeting up with Kitty for a coffee and a catch up. The new Saturated Canary stamps arrived at My Mum's Craft Shop this week and I had lots of fun yesterday playing with them. This lovely image is called 'Ellies Birthday' and is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I used the latest Sketch from Sketch Saturday for my card.

I coloured my image with Promarkers and then cut it out leaving a small border and added it to my card using foam pads. The papers I have used are by Glitz design and are from the Cashmere Dame pad.

I added a charm from Whiff of Joy tied with Whiff of Joy twine and finished with a rub on sentiment, some gems and flowers from my stash. I hope you have a lovely Sunday, I will be back later with my Whiff of Joy card for this week!

Passion for Promarkers DT - Olympics

Good Morning Everyone! I apologise for my absence over the past few days, I had a busy weekend and didn't have much time for crafting! However, I am back today with a card I did squeeze in on Saturday. Thank you so much to all of you who took part in last week's Passion for Promarkers Anniversary celebration. It was lovely seeing all your wonderful Birthday cards. We have a great theme this week which is......

Olympics!!

We would like to see cards featuring sports, rings or even inspired by the Olympics colours in the rings on the photo on the blog. I have made a card using traditional red white and blue and the Olympics Saturated Canary image 'Olympics' as she was just perfect for the theme.

I used PB and J Basic Grey papers to cover my card base and to paper piece a Union Jack which was layered onto kraft before I added a stitched border. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and cut it out leaving a small border before adding it to the card with foam pads. The stamp image and sentiment are from a Portobello road collection as is the button and I added a little gingham bow from my stash. I finished with a cluster of flowers and some little gems. I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. We have
a great prize for you as we are sponsored by the fabulous Joanna Sheen and she is generously offering a £10.00 voucher to our winner.

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the DT!
