Crafty Calendar May Challenge Card using Bugaboo Stamps

Good morning.  Happy 1st of May to you.  I'm looking forward to a week off work and hopefully some okay weather to enjoy some days out subject to covid restrictions.  

As it is the first Saturday in the month we have a new challenge over Crafty Calendar and the theme for this month is

MASCULINE.

For my card I have used:

Charlie Birthday from Bugaboo Stamps coloured with copics.

The DP's are from the Echo Park My Dog paper pack.

The birthday sentiment I created on Cricut Design Space (I'm loving the new offset feature).   I cut the offset twice from white card and glued them together.  I then sliced the letters out of the offset to create a frame which I cut from white and glued on top.  I then cut the letters out of orange card and inset these into the frame layer and gave them a touch of wink of stella for a bit of sparkle..

Crafty Calendar Anything Goes Challenge Card using Bugaboo Stamps

Good morning all,  today's post is just a little reminder of the challenge we currently have running over at Crafty Calendar.

I was going to do this post yesterday but I took my Brownies on a day out to Hatton Adventure World and when I got back I was so tired I just couldn't stay awake.

Our challenge this month is

'ANYTHING GOES'

and I have another card to share,

this time using an image from our other sponsor Bugaboo Stamps.

For my card I have used:

Giraffe Blocks from Bugaboo Stamps coloured with copics

The background is the My Favorite Things Giraffe Background 6x6 stamp, stamped onto yellow/orange bazzill card using the My Favorite Things Kraft hybrid ink pad.

I die-cut three squares in the background  to make windows for the giraffes to peek out of.

The greeting was a magazine freebie which I've stamped in versamark ink and then heat embossed using white embossing powder.

I then added a strip of stripy paper, a yellow button and a few sequins to finish.

Pop over to Crafty Calendar and there's still time to share your creations for this months Anything Goes challenge and while you're there check out the new DT creations using images from Bugaboo Stamps.

Crafty Calendar January Challenge - Something New

Good morning all.  Happy New Year. Have you made any new year resolutions for 2017?  One of mine it to get through all the craft kits and projects that I've got before taking on or buying any more so we'll see how long it takes before I break that one.

It's the first Saturday in January so we have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar and because it's the start of a new year our theme this month is

'Something New'

For this months theme I have made a new baby card and I have used:

Bugaboo Stamps 'Baby Cow Rattle' digital stamp

coloured with copics.

I did add a couple of extra cow markings to the image using one of the Copic Multiliner pens that I had for Christmas, because I just wanted a bit more black on the image.

For the background I have used the My Favorite Things Cow Background stamp

and Razzle Berry Hybrid ink pad.

The greeting is a pre printed one that I had in my stash.

Crafty Calendar August Challenge - Fun In The Sun Bugaboo Card

Good afternoon to all.  I hope you are all having a good day.  Can you believe that it's August.....more than half the year has gone already.  This year's been a bit up and down, latest thing is OH's mom being in hospital but she's on the mend now so that's good.

It's the first Saturday of the month and we have a new challenge over Crafty Calendar and our theme for this month is

"FUN IN THE SUN".

Here in the UK today the weather is gorgeous and sunny so it was a shame that I went to work this morning and missed some of it.

For my card I have used:

Crab Boat by Bugaboo Digi Stamps coloured with copics and then fussy cut.

The waves have been cut using my cricut and a svg called Wave Border from Miss Kate Cuttables.

The background was created by blending distress inks over some cloud masks.

Crafty Calendar February Challenge - Love is in the Air

Good afternoon to all.  I'm posting a bit later than normal due to being at work this morning.  I'm glad to get back home out of the gale force winds and all the rain.....will it ever stop raining....

Well January has been and gone so we have a new challenge for February over at Crafty Calendar.  As Valentine's Day is fast approaching our theme for this month is

"Love is in the Air".

For my card I have used:

Bugaboo Stamps Dino Heart 2 image coloured with copics

The DP's are from the Craft Asylum Into the Woods 6 x 6 paper pack.

Now this was going to be a shaker card but I just could get it to look right it so I pulled it all apart and stared again.

Well that's Martyns Valentine card sorted now I just need to remind him to get me something...

Creative Craft Humorous Challenge

 

Morning all.  It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Craft and if you want to enter this one you'll need to have your skates on because today's challenge is only lasting one week instead of the usual fortnight.

 

Our theme for this challenge is "HUMOROUS" and I couldn't decide what to do for my card.   I finally decided on a Bugaboo image of a reindeer, and you can interpret the little gust of wind in the bottom corner any way you like, but he does appear to have a look of shock or surprise on his face..

 

  For my card I have used:

Bugaboo image - "Reindeer Up" coloured with copics

DP's are unnamed from stash.

Creative Craft Challenge - Special Occasion but NOT Birthday

Happy Tuesday to all.   Another fortnight has been and gone which means it's time for a new challenge over at Creative Craft.

 

The theme for this fortnight is "Special Occasion but NOT Birthday" and for this challenge I have two cards to share,  the reason being that in November we are expecting two new arrivals in the family, my Brother and his partner and Martyn's nephew and his wife are both due to have a little girl so my special occasion is New Baby, which gives me the opportunity to get my baby cards made in plenty of time.

 

For my cards I have used:

Rocking Horse & Sheep are from the Bugaboo Mini Digi Set - Baby Bits

The DP's are various bits and pieces from my stash.

Sentiments are from Sentiments 4 U

Creative Craft Challenge - Anything Goes

 

Good morning.   Today we have a new challenge over at Creative Craft Challenge and the theme for this fortnight is "Anything Goes".

 

I know it's only September but I have made my first Christmas card.  I keep reading everywhere that I should start making them early, and I normally end up the week before Christmas in a mad rush trying to get everything finished so I decided to try and get more organised (I'm hoping this lasts longer than my new year resolution to make a Christmas card every month, which ended the second week of January....)

 

For my card I have used:

 

Bugaboo image - Winter Birds Skate coloured with copics

DP's - Dovecraft Back to Basics Modern Christmas

 

 

I'm entered this card into the following challenges:

 

Stampin' for the weekend - Starting Christmas Early

Happy Tuesday!   Yeah.....Summer has arrived.  It might only last a few days so make the most of it.

For my card I have used:

Image - Poppi Penguin Lemonade by Bugaboo coloured with copics

Hopefully Martyn won't be popping by my blog until after Thursday as this is going to be his birthday card.  As he's a birdwatcher I always make a card with a bird on....a penguin card in July is a first for me.
