Good morning all, today we have a new challenge over at Creative Craft.  The theme for this fortnight is an easy one we want to see ribbon on your projects.

Don & Daisy Autumn stamp coloured with copics
DP's are from the Dovecraft Sugar and Spice paper pack


This is me two seconds after I've stepped out of the door this time of year.....

For my card I have used:
Party Paws Bamboo Stamp Set by Crafter's Companion coloured with copics

Creative Craft Challenge Card - Not A Square

Good morning all.  Hope everyone is having a good day so far...today we have a new challenge today over at Creative Craft and for this fortnight the theme is
"Not A Square!"

You may have noticed but I rarely deviate from the 6" square card so this was quite a challenge for me...

I decided to get my hardly used Cricut cutter out for inspiration and I found an octagon shape on one of the cartridges that I quite liked the look of.   I managed to manipulate the shape in the Cricut Design Studio so that the top edges overlapped and it resembled some sort of card shape.

I have another Christmas theme card for this challenge, just because I love this little bear image from our sponsor for this challenge Pink Gem Designs.

For my card I have used:
The image is "Barclay with Bauble" from Pink Gem Designs coloured with copics.
The DP's are from the First Edition Festive Treats paper pack


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Christmas Card Challenge - Non Traditional Christmas
Glitter & Sparkle Challenge - Anything But A Square
The Hobby House - Christmas
Allsorts Challenge - Use Your New Stash (The image is new)

Crafty Calendar Challenge Card- Anything Goes

Hi everyone.  It's the first Saturday in the month so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar.

I hope everyone has had a good day....I,ve been working on a card today.  It's a commission for a 60th birthday and I just couldn't get it to look how I envisaged it in my head, it took me ages to decide on embellishments, papers, and then the layout.....and I had the same problems with the card I'm posting now for the Crafty Calendar Challenge.

The theme for this month is ANYTHING GOES.

For my card I have used:
Loveable Avie by Pretty Little Stamps coloured with copics.
The DP's are from a Laura Ashley paper pack

Tiddly Inks Picture Perfect Wryn Birthday Card

Good morning to all.  I have another Tiddly Inks card to share with you today.

Just in case you didn't know Tiddly Inks are having a DT call, it closes on the 31 July so you still have time to get your card made using your favourite Tiddly Inks image and post it on the Tiddly Inks blog.

For my card I have used:
Tiddly Inks digi image "Wryn Picture Perfect" coloured with copics.
The DP's are from the Wild Rose Studio Vintage Rose paper pack


I used these papers because I was going for a vintage wallpaper feel to the card... not sure if I achieved that goal....


Now off to start baking some cupcakes for our "party" tomorrow...

Thanks for stopping by.

Tiddly Inks For The Birds Birthday Card.

Good evening to all.  Today is my OH's birthday, because we're having a few people around on Sunday I hadn't really planned anything special for Martyn's birthday today other than us both having the day off work, so we decided to go for lunch and then to the cinema to see "The Wolverine"...fab film.... so now we're back home I have just enough time to share the card that I made for him.

With him being a birdwatcher the card always has to have birds on it....

I have used:
Tiddly Inks "For The Birds" digi stamp coloured with copics.
The DP's are from the My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow paper pack.


It's a good job he only has six letters in his name or I might have been in a bit of trouble...  and I know the card doesn't have particularly masculine colours but at least I didn't pick girly pink...which Martyn was relieved about...


I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Divas By Design - Anything Goes
Craft Your Passion - Happy Birthday
The Crafters Cafe - Anything Goes
Crafts And Me - Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations - BINGO (Twine, Buttons, Sentiment)

Thanks for stopping by.

Creative Craft Challenge - Numbers Challenge Christmas Card

Good afternoon everyone.  I hope you'll all enjoying the gorgeous weather that we're having at the moment.  It's Tuesday so that means a new challenge over at Creative Craft.  The theme for this fortnight is "NUMBERS" so ideal for those special birthday cards.

Now for my card.   I went into my little craft room, the sun was shining and the temperature was 25 degrees, I sat down at my desk to make my DT card and for some reason thought "I think I'll make a Christmas card!!".

So here it is, I have used
Melonheadz digi image "Rudolph" coloured with copics.
The DP's are a mixture of makes from my stash.

It might be slightly cheating but my only numbers on this card are on one of my papers, no others have been added....
