My Mum's Craft Shop DT for the May challenge - Lots of layers

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good week so far. It's time for a brand new Challenge on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today. Our theme this month is 'Lots of layers' which was a little bit of a challenge for me as I am enjoying making Clean and Simple cards more and more lately!

My sewing machine has broken so I was unable to do any sewing to my layers on this card. I used papers from the Carta Bella 'Baby Mine Boy' pad which is available here. The image I have used is 'Fluffy Bear Balloon' which is available here. I coloured him in using Graph'it Markers and added him to the card using foam pads.

The sentiment I have used is by Lawn Fawn and is part of this set. I coloured my image using lots of little dots to make the teddy look furry. It is the first time I have tried this and i think I need to practice a bit more! I hope you will able to join us for our latest Challenge for the chance to win a voucher to spend at My Mum's Craft Shop. Enjoy the rest of your week!

My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges - Spring has Sprung

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good week, mine has been hectic but lots of fun with a trip to the West End last night to see 'A Chorus Line'. The show was great, lots of singing and dancing and great performances! We have a brand new Challenge for you today on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. We are celebrating Spring and our theme is: 'Spring has Sprung' so we would like to see all your Spring Inspired projects this month. I have used a CC Designs Laugh Lines Garden image on my card and papers from the My Mind's Eye Collectable Memorable pad.

I layered the papers up and stitched around the edges and used a Martha Stewart punch for the grass. The sentiment is an old one from Elzybells. I used Ribbon and flowers from The Ribbon girl and a resin flower cluster which has been in my stash for a while.

Here is a little close up of my image coloured with Promarkers. She is a little cutie! I love her boots and watering can! I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge.  We will be giving away a £20 voucher to the lucky winner! I have another busy evening today with a trip to Ikea to look for a new kitchen and some craft storage then am off to the Make it Show in Farnborough on Saturday and I hope to be able to sit down and craft Sunday! Have a lovely Friday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Love you a latte!

Hello Everyone! It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today and I am sharing the card I made for my Hubby's Birthday last Sunday. I used the adorable 'Latte Monkey' stamp by CC designs which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I coloured him in with my Promarkers and then cut him out leaving a small border.

I used papers from the Bazzil Basics Believe pad which is on special offer at My Mum's Craft shop. They are Christmas papers but love fabulous with Kraft and I thought these ones are great for Men's cards. I used various Dienamics dies to cut tags and stamped them with sentiments from my stash and finished with some stick on gems and some funky red twine. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

A cute little pumpkin

Hello Everyone! It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today and I am kicking off our Halloween inspiration week at My Mum's craft shop with a little shaped card which I have decorated with lots of gorgeous Halloween goodies! I cut my card with a Spellbinders die and layered a doily die cut on top I then stuck strips of Bazzill 'All Hallows Eve' papers together and die cut them into a circle which I sewed onto a black circle leaving a small border.

I wrapped the finished circle with twine and added it to my card base and then stamped and coloured the adorable Pumpkin Beatrice and cut her out leaving a small border before adding glitter to her little stalk hat and adding her to my card with foam pads. The sentiment is from the 'Halloween Sentiments' set and I added some flowers above it, and a little bat die cut and then added a little bow topped with a little wooden button. Make sure you drop by My Mum's Craft shop blog tomorrow for some more Halloween themed inspiration! I am also entering my card into the I love Promarkers Challenge as the theme is Halloween. Have a lovely Sunday!

Halloween treats

As promised, I am back again to share my regular Sunday post which will be published on the My Mum's Craft shop blog. I have been having lots more fun with the lovely Halloween goodies Kitty has in stock at My Mum's Craft Shop this week, I got a bit carried away using the adorable CC Designs Meoples Witches and Goblins set and I have used them to decorate a couple of little treat boxes and a card. 

The images are quite small so they were just the right size to decorate these boxes I cut with a Sizzix die. The perfect size to stuff with some little Halloween treats. The sentiments I have used are from the
CC designs Halloween sentiments set and I die cut them with a label die and inked around the edges.

The little die cut bats  have used were cut using a Memory Box Swooping bats die. I added some gems to the larger ones to look like beady eyes!

I'm not sure which one is my favourite, they were so quick to colour in and are just perfect for adding to tags and to personalise your treats this Halloween.

Here is the full set with some yummy sweeties! All the paper are from the Bazzill Basics All Hallows Eve pack.  I hope you are having a good weekend. I will be back soon with the Brand New Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge.

Passion for Promarkers DT - Lace and Swirls

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you had a good start to the week. I promised you some more Halloween inspiration on Sunday and here it is! Our theme this week at Passion for Promarkers is 'Lace and Swirls' and I initially thought I would make a wedding card but couldn't resist colouring in another Halloween image which is a perfect match to the fabulous Bazzill Basics All Hallows Eve papers which are available here at My Mum's Craft Shop.

I used a Marianne Designs die for the swirl which I cut from black card and tucked behind the sentiment from the  Halloween sentiments set. The lace I have used is available here from The Ribbon Girl and I layered onto some jute mesh ribbon.

I coloured my image with Promarkers and then cut it out leaving a small border and added it to my card with foam pads. I finished with a some little green gems. I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. We have some great inspiration from the DT on the Challenge blog and our sponsor this week is Letraset who are offering a New Promarker collector set to our winner.
