Litttle Daisy Red Riding Hood

It's my day to share my Project on the Squiggle stamps blog and today I have a sweet little shaped card to show you with the lovely little Daisy with Toadstools on it. Little Red Riding Hood was one of my favourite Fairy Tales when I was little so I couldn't resist colouring Daisy in a red cape.
I created a little scene for Daisy to stand in using My Mind's Eye papers and some pinking shears. I sewed around all the edges and added it to a card base cut from Kraft with a Nesties shape. I coloured and cut out the toadstools using a white gel pen for the dots. I then added a rolled paper flower and a button with a sentiment as a finishing touch.
I hope you have a great Wednesday.

Sweet Friend

Hello! It's Wednesday already! Today is my day to share my Squiggle stamps project on the Squiggle stamps blog and I have a lovely girly card to show you today. I have made a card using the yummy Candle Cupcake image from Squiggle stamps which is available here in digi format.

I printed and coloured my image with my trusty Promarkers and added glitter glue frosting. I then added the cupcake to some a gingham background which I had sewed on to pink card and wrapped with Ribbon Girl twine. I created a sentiment using letter stickers and finished with a bow topped with a rose.
I am entering this card into the Ribbon Girl colour Challenge which is pinks and lilacs.
Have a great Wednesday!

A Japanese Dolly

I have a card to share with you today using one of the new Orange Bird Studio digital images which have recently been released at Squiggle Stamps. This image is called 'Japanese Dolly' and she is very cute!

I used a paper I have had in my stash for a long time with some ribbon which was on my desk! I had a go at colouring Black hair for the first time using grey Promarkers but I am not 100% happy with the results, I think her hair still looks too grey...I added some machine stitching and a sentiment from Hero Arts, a little cherry blossom flower and some gems as a finishing touch.
I hope you have a good Wednesday, I am off to see the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist this afternoon, fingers crossed he will find out what is wrong with me and I will be able to start feeling better soon.

A fun Birthday!!

It's my day to share my DT project on the Squiggles and Giggles blog and I have a very bright and cheery card for you this week. I found some scraps from in my box and the bright colours reminded me of the circus so I decided to make a card using the adorable 'Oscar the Clown'.

I coloured in Oscar using my Promarkers to match the papers and couldn't resist adding a bit of glitter to his nose. I cut him out leaving a small border around the image and adding him to the card with foam pads. I created a sentiment using letter stickers and some yummy glittery American Craft Thickers which have been lurking in my stash for ages!
As a finishing touch, I added some punched shapes and some stick on pearls.
I hope you have a great Wednesday.

Hoppy Easter!

I have a sweet little shaped card to share with you today which I made using the Squiggle stamps 'Hoppy Easter' stamp of the month which is available here for only £1.00. Please ignore my dodgy stitching...I am getting used to my new machine as my old one gave up after 12 years of faithful service this weekend :-(

I coloured the image with Promarkers and then cut it out so I could layer it on to the base card which I had cut with my Nestabilities. I added a little pom pom for her tail and a couple of little pink flowers. I stamped and die cut the sentiment and added a lovely little spotty button threaded with Baker's twine.
There is still time for you to enter the Squiggle stamps March Challenge. The theme is 'Spring' and you can find all the details here.
Have a lovely Wednesday!

Miss Evie - Wild West

I have another card to share with you today which I made with the newly released stamps at Squiggle stamps. Miss Evie is all dressed up for a trip to the Wild West and has a great Sherif's badge to match.

I used some Blue Gingham paper sewn on to some Kraft card as a base for my card and layered up some scraps of yellow and red patterned card on to some punched Kraft which were stuck to the base. I tied some yellow baker's twine around one of the panels to hang a little star charm.


I coloured Miss Evie with Promarkers to match my choice of papers and then cut her out and added her to the card with foam pads. I stamped a sentiment in the middle of the badge, coloured it in, cut it out, embellished with gems and then added it to the centre of a large flower and stuck both the top right hand corner of the card.
Have a great Wednesday!

Something a little bit different...

Tracy added some new Miss Evie images to the Squiggle Stamps shop this week. As soon as I saw the Castle image and Miss Evie Princess, I had the idea of making an easel card using the castle. I'm not 100% sure about this card. It's very different to my usual style!

I used Echo Park 'Life is Good' papers to paper piece the castle and then added it to the card. I printed Miss Evie quite small and then added her to the card and finished with lots of glitter, stick on gems and flowers.


I printed little banners using the Funky Hand 'Craft the Year Away' CD which I stuck behind the turrets. I might give this card another go with different papers, I think the patterns are fighting one another a little too much!
Have a good Sunday!

Pretty in Pink for True Love!

I simply adore this 'True Love' image which is available here from Squiggle Stamps. It reminds me of photos of my Parents before they were married so I decided to colour it in muted retro colours with my Promarkers to match the gorgeous Bobunny papers.

I added lots of stitching to the papers and cut the image out with a very narrow border before adding it to to a panel cut from text print love theme paper. I framed the image with flowers and some heart crystals for a romantic feel. As a finishing touch I added a couple of pretty pink gems.
I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

My first Squiggle Stamps DT card

I'm very excited today to be able to share with you my first card as part of the Squiggle stamps Design Team. I have been having lots of fun playing with lots of wonderful Squiggle stamps images since I joined the team and I have been really inspired by the fabulous little characters.

I made this card for my youngest Son to give to his brother for his birthday using the fun 'Hey Dude' stamp which is available in digital and rubber. I took my inspiration from the star on the skateboard and after colouring him with Promarkers and cutting him out with a little border, I added him to a die cut star which I had embossed and run through my sewing machine. I used some of my favourite Bobunny double dot paper to layer some patterned kraft paper onto and finished with a Hero Arts sentiment and a couple of yellow buttons.
Have a great Wednesday!

Squiggles and Sparkles

I have made another card for another challenge! I seem to be on a bit of a roll!
I am entering this very sparkly card into this month's Squiggle Stamps Challenge. I used some very old sparkly card I have had for about two years and sewed an embossed piece of white card on to it. I them printed and coloured the gorgeous angel image and glittered it and added it to a scalloped square cut from glittery card.
You can see the way I glittered the image from the close up, I used Diamond Sparkles, it is so glittery, I love it!
I added a sentiment stamped onto a Stampin Up tab punched shape and some gems to the centres of some of the snowflakes for an extra bit of sparkle!

Daisy with a Balloon

I made this little card for my Friend who is Dutch and a fervent supporter of their National Football team.
Orange is their colour so I just had to make her an orange card. I recently made her a Football plaque and it seems to have brought her luck as her team have just made the World Cup finals so I thought she should have a card to match!

I printed the cute little Daisy out and coloured her with Promarkers before cutting her out. I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in the top right hand corner and added a couple of little flowers and gems.
As a finishing touch I added some glossy accents to the balloon.
I love the simplicity of this card and the stiching and the black frame really sets the image off nicely.
Have a great Monday!
