Sugar Nellie Sparkle and shine blog hop - Boy with presents

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my blog for the Sugar Nellie Sparkle and Shine blog hop. If you are following the hop you should have come here from the lovely Tiets. If not, you can always go back to the start on the Sugar Nellie blog for the full hop list. All members of the Design Team are sharing cards made with one of the new 6 digi stamps which have been released at 9am today at Funky Kits.

The image I have used on my card is called 'Boy with Presents', he is so sweet and was so lovely to colour in with my Promarkers. I used bright colours to match these Christmassy papers which I had left over from last year's Christmas stash. I also used a large Whimsy stamps stamp for the Christmas list. I die cut a swirl from green paper using a Tim Holtz die and added some gingham ribbon and a wooden snowflake topped with a button and finished with a few little gems.

Thanks so much for stopping by today to see my card. Your next stop on the hop is Anita with a beautiful card. Make sure you leave comments along the way as there will be candy on offer! Have a lovely Saturday!

Sugar Nellie DT for the Sugar Bowl Challenge

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good weekend. I had a busy day yesterday, lots of cooking, baking cupcakes, an early trip to the Next sale and a little bit of crafting! It rained all day yesterday but I am hoping for some sun today as we are going to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards and will hopefully be having a trip around the Harbour in a boat. I do have a little bit of sunshine to share on my Sugar Nellie DT card for this week in case we don't get any real sun! I have made a card following the latest sketch from the Sugar Bowl Challenge with the optional theme of 'Summertime'.

 

I have used the very sweet Gorgeous girl 'Little Ducky' which is available here from Funky Kits. I coloured my image to match the Echo Park Hello Summer papers and the followed the sketch layout, adding all the papers to kraft card and sewing around the edges. I used a Whimsy Stamps sentiment and a flower from my stash topped with a Ribbon girl button and finished with some stick on pearls.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Whiff of Joy DT for the Whiff of Joy Challenge

Good Morning Everyone! I have another project to share with you today made using the gorgeous Henry with large bow following the sketch from this fortnight's Whiff of Joy Challenge. I loved using this sketch, it is a great layout! I made my card using the same papers as yesterday's bookmark which are from the Teresa Collins Spring Fling pad. 

I followed the sketch and cut the circle using a large die and added sewing around the edges of the cut squares. I coloured Henry using my Promarkers, he looks so adorable wearing his large bow! The sentiment I used is by Whimsy stamps and the flowers are from my stash and Whiff of Joy. I finished the card with a few little stick on pearls. Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from their fabulous DT! Have a great Wednesday!

Sugar Nellie DT - Spots and Dots

Good Morning Everyone! It's Wednesday and my day to share a card on the Sugar Nellie Blog. I couldn't wait to make a card and join in with the Sugar Bowl challenge when I saw Cathy's fabulous sketch. The optional theme for this Challenge is Spots and Dots. If you are a regular visitor to my blog you will know how much I love polka dots so it was a real treat to be able to use lots of these on my card.

I used papers from the Teresa Collins Spring Fling pad. The colours of the papers are so rich and the red reminded me of strawberries so I just had to use the Sugar Nellie Manga 'Strawberry Patch' image which is available here from Funky Kits. I coloured the image with my Promarkers before cutting it into a rectangle and mounting it on kraft card. 

I used a Fiskars border punch for the centre strip and the sentiment is by Whimsy stamps. I also added some flowers and a lovely spotty ribbon from my stash topped with a spotty button from The Ribbon Girl.

Here is the lovely sketch by Cathy, I will definitely be using this one again! Make sure you check out all the fabulous cards by the Sugar Bowl Design Team on the blog, if you are inspired to take part, you may win some gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamps.
I am also entering this card into this week's Passion for Promarkers Challenge as the theme is Ribbons and Buttons and I was thrilled to see that my card last week made the top five so I am officially a top 5 Passionista :-)

Have a great Wednesday!

Whiff of Joy DT previews - Beautiful Butterflies

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are well and are having a nice Valentine's day. Tomorrow will be release day at Whiff of Joy with some lovely Spring and Easter themed Henry images and I have another preview for you using the cutest little mouse in Blogland and some of the new dies which will also be relased tomorrow at Whiff of Joy.

I have used some brand new My Mind's Eye papers and a some green coordinations cardstock to create a simple layout and also used some gorgeous ribbon which is available here from Whiff of Joy. I love the beautiful delicate butterfly dies and they go so well with this image. I coloured Henry with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and then added lots of stitching to my layers. The sentiment ticket is by Whimsy stamps and the little flower is available here from the Whiff of Joy shop.
Have a lovely Tuesday!

Hello!

Hello Everyone! I had a play on my nice and tidy craft desk yesterday evening. I have had this adorable Beanie Anya Greeting Farm stamp for over a year now and finally inked her up for the first time yesterday. I coloured her in to match papers from the Fancy Pants Winterland Pad.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and then matted and layered the gorgeous papers onto dark red card and sewed around the edges with aqua thread. I created a sentiment by stamping Whimsy ticket stamps and a sentiment and then layered up two tickets, added some sewing and some flowers.
I added a Whiff of Joy snowflake topped with a button and a bow tied from some gorgeous pink ribbon, I finished the cards with some paper flowers, some gems and some stick on pearls.
Have a lovely Tuesday!

Sugar Nellie DT - You're the best!

Good Evening Everyone! I hope you had a good weekend, mine has been busy but productive even though I am struggling this evening to get a card made for tomorrow, I have managed to break my Martha Stewart Punch around the page snowflake punch in the process...not impressed with myself at all!

I have a card to share with you today which I made using the beautiful Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girl 'Just a Girl' stamp which is available here from Funky Kits, I love this image, she is so adorable in her little dress and cute boots. The papers I have used are by Fancy Pants Design from the Love Story pad. I used some ribbon from my stash and Whimsy Stamps sentiment stamps die cut with a stamp die. I added a wooden button from Crafty Emma's store, a flower and finished with some little pearls and a heart pin. Have a lovely evening!

T'is the season to make Christmas cards!

Good Morning Everyone! It's my turn to post a card on the Sugar Nellie Blog today. I am starting to panic as Christmas seems to be approaching very fast now and even though I feel like I have been making Christmas cards since Easter, I am not sure if I will have enough and I haven't even started writing them yet!!! Eeek!


In order to try and fill up my card box I have made another Christmas card using the super cute Festive Friends image which is available here from Funky Kits. I used Cosmo Cricket and My Mind's Eye papers on my die cut scalloped card base in non traditional colours.
You can read all about my card on the Sugar Nellie blog here!
Have a great Wednesday!

More Fairy Glen!

Morning Everyone! I hope you are well, I am sooooooo ready for the weekend! Just one more day! I have another card to share with you today using a Fairy Glen image from the latest Sugar Nellie release. I can't get enough of these adorable stamps!


This card features the super cool Pippi Longsocks, I love her socks and trainers! I also admire her composure at standing next to a frog! I would have run a mile by now! I used Basic Grey papers for my card mixed with some gingham and notebook style paper from my stash and added a hint of dark pink with stitching and papers for matting and layering. The sentiment is a new purchase from a Whimsy stamps set and the flowers are from my stash.
Hope you have a lovely Friday.
