Crafty Catz are back!- Challenge #488

Good morning, Crafty Catz are back after the Christmas break with a brand new challenge for you! This week our lovely Aunty Sue (the boss lady!) is hosting, the optional theme is 'animals' and our fabulous sponsor is Sheepski Designs

I actually made this card last summer when my 4th granddaughter was born. My daughter in law loves elephants so this gorgeous Little Heart image fitted the bill perfectly. I used my copics to colour, die cut the image with a stitched circle die and popped onto a twisted easel base. The die cut hearts are pink and grey, not black! Sentiment is a stamp.

I hope everyone is rested and ready to play along this week...if you need some ideas just hop over and see what my lovely teamies have created to inspire you!

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.

Fab'n'Funky- no design paper!

Hi, I'm back with my second post today, this time with my DT card for Fab'n' Funky, again the first of the year. It's my turn to host the challenge this week, which means I get to pick the theme :) -so I chose NO design papers- basically make anything you like as long as there are no printed papers involved!

Out came my Gelli plate and distress inks again, along with my gorgeous Lavinia stamps (old favorites and new tiny fairy and orbs) and glitter pen. Heaven!

The Fab'n' Funky ladies have been busy creating a lovely variety of projects so please hop over to the Challenge Blog for some wonderful inspiration, I hope you choose to play along too!

Thanks for visiting today.

Sparkle

Good morning, the first challenge of the year at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' begins today! The theme for this month is 'sparkle' and the project must be Christmas related. I made a card using some scraps of DP , glitter card and a few die cuts. The backing card and border are embossed and I added a piece of glittery twine. Quick and simple and a good way of using up some of my (heaps) of left over scraps!

There's loads more to see over at CaSS, and we have some lovely new teamies joining us this month, so please hp over and take a peek!

Thanks for stopping by

New Release Day at Bugaboo

It's New Release Day at Bugaboo!

I made a card featuring this cute Bobblehead piggy, I think I was influenced by many hours of watching Peppa Pig with my granddaughters when they were small 'cos I've given him a muddy puddle to sit in! Coloured with copics, edges and sky inked with DIs. I followed a sketch from

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Show us your new stash!

Hi, back again with my card for our first challenge of the year at Sweet Stampin', and yes, you've guessed it, we want to see your new stuff! Doesn't have to be a Christmas gift just something you haven't used before.

I treated myself to a set of Dandelion stamps from Lavinia just before Christmas, so this was a good opportunity to have a little play with them. I made the frame on the black card base by die cutting 3 rectangles from a piece of black card stock and matting it onto peach coloured card. I created a background using my Gelli plate and Distress oxides, and stamped each of the three dandelions with black Versafine Clair. I've added a touch of glitter to the seeds -but it doesn't show in the photo. I punched 2 holes beside each stem and tied a scrap of black ribbon through them and added a tiny stamped tag.

So just hop over to Sweet Stampin' to see what my lovely teamies have created with their new acquisitions- then why not play along and show off your own new treasures Please remember to stamp something though!

Thanks for visiting today, have a great weekend
