New grandson

Happy Monday everyone.  Today I have a super cute baby card to share with you.  One of my lovely crafty friends recently welcomed her first baby grandson and this is the card I made for her.

I used an adorable stamp set called 'sweet baby' from Uniko Stamps and I used my Promarkers to add a dotty pattern to the babygro.  The sentiment is predominantly Clearly Besotted Stamps 'special delivery' (but again sadly it appears to no longer be available but they do have an updated version which is currently on sale here) and the grandson word is from Personal Impressions 'large family birthday' stamp set.  I used an oldie but a goodie embossing folder 'swiss dots' by Cuttlebug for my bottom layer and cut a circle from my white cardstock panel using a spellbinders circle die for my top layer.  I added a few sequins from Little Things from Lucy's Cards to finish off.  A very simple card but really pretty I think. 

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

sweet stampin' challenge - got the blues

unicorn challenge - masculine

crafty friends challenge - men and/or boys

sweet stampers challenge - something begins with B (blue, baby)

Try it on Tuesday challenge - make it masculine

crafty cardmakers challenge - masculine

I hope your Monday was good.  The weather is supposed to be scorchio this week so take care and add sunscreen if you're out and about 🌞

Until next time, hugs and love x

Cupcake craft challenge #189–DT card

Oh dear, I’m a little later than normal sharing my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge, I just don’t know where the week has gone!!  Our theme this week has been set by the lovely Maarit and she has chosen “material girl” (I bet you’re all singing Madonna’s song now lol!)  Maarit wants you to use some form of material on your creations week so let’s see how adventurous you can be!  I decided to be quite reserved (‘cos I couldn’t think of anything else) and I used felt!  Here is my card:

I’m sorry my pictures are so bad, but I really struggled to get a decent one!  I decided to go CAS on the layout and didn’t use any patterned paper at all – I know shock horror!  The image is a super cute penny black stamp called ‘ladybug & hedgehog’ and I coloured it with promarkers.  I used kraft card from dies to die for and two different embossing folders.  The flower and chevrons were both cut out of felt, also from dies to die for.  I didn’t add a sentiment as I thought it could be suitable for lots of different occasions. 

We have two sponsors this week, first we have Digi Doodle Shop and they are offering one lucky winner a $10.00 gift certificate to spend in their online store.  Our second sponsor is Quixotic Paperie and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I used a super cute freebie image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called ‘snowy day’ and coloured it with promarkers.  I have been dying to use this image for ages and now I have I will definitely be using it again and it was lovely colour and really easy to cut out.  I embossed a piece of white card with my swiss dots embossing folder and just added a strip of doodlebug paper to break it up.  Quite a simple card but I’m quite pleased with the finished result. 

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Emma’s store and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher (excluding p&p) to spend in her online store.

Passion for Promarkers #137–DT card

Here I am again with a late post but at least I’m actually posting a card this week lol!  Better late than never I suppose.  I hope you’ve all had a good start to the week so far, mine’s been ok, very busy in work but at least the first two days have flown by!  I’m here to share my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge and this week the lovely Nic has set the theme and she has chosen “black & white”.  However we only want to see the colours black and white apart from skin, hair/fur etc. and obviously you have to use your Letraset pens.  Here is my card:

I have to say I’m really chuffed with how this card turned out.  The image is from Tickled Pink stamps and I coloured him with all the grey promarkers (his hair is actually using warm grey promarkers but it looks a bit brown in the photo).  I made this card for my nephew who is 23 tomorrow so I didn’t “fuss” it too much.  I added 3 card candi, a button and some twine and that was it.  The papers are a mixture but I think they work quite well together.  The card is A5 in size.

Our sponsor this week is Tickled Pink stamps (who kindly gave all the DT an image to use on our cards this week) and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice. 

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples this week so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

Bee Crafty challenge–DT card

** This is my second post for today **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT project

Hello again dear friends.  As promised I’m back with my last catch up post for this week – thank goodness!  Over at the Bee Crafty challenge our monthly challenge is “goodbye/thinking of you”.  Unfortunately this will be our last challenge for a while as Merrigan is due to have her second baby any day now and she will have her hands full so she is putting the challenges on hold for the foreseeable future, but rest assured she will be back.  Here is my card:

I have used a super image called ‘fluffy bunny pair’ as I thought they looked like they were waving goodbye lol!  You can purchase the image in the store here.   The image is coloured with promarkers and flex markers.  I was delighted when I “discovered” this sentiment in my stamp drawer as it fit perfectly with the theme – it is a clear stamp from elzybells.  The papers are my mind’s eye from the ‘true blue’ paper pad and I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the background.  The fancy border was a freebie in a parcel I received from the lovely Tracey at Dies to Die For and i was chuffed when it matched my card perfectly – love it when that happens lol!

The prize as always is 2 digi images of the winner’s choice.  Please pop over to the challenge blog and check out Deanne’s gorgeous card too.

Good morning friends.  It’s the last day of my week off from work so I’m a little bit sad…….however I have another week off again in 3 week’s time so something to look forward to. 

Another catch up post, this time for the stamp with fun challenge and the theme is “love”.  I don’t send many Valentine’s cards so I decided to alter a plain brown gift bag, which I thought I would be able to use at some point lol!  Here is my bag:

I’m sorry the pics are a bit dark but I took them late at night.  The image is a brand new February release from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Valentine Hattie’ and I coloured her with promarkers and flex markers.  The papers are by Docrafts from the ‘hot diggity dog’ A4 paper pack and the plain card is from the papermill shop.

Passion for Promarkers #135–DT card

Well, long time no see lol!  I’m sorry that I haven’t blogged for so long (again) but it’s been really hectic and I’ve seem to be chasing my tail and playing catch up for the last few weeks.  Hopefully once I’ve blogged this week’s DT cards I can get back to normal, well that’s the plan anyway. 

I would normally blog my cards in order of the challenges but I’m going to share my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge first as I want to enter it into the sugar bowl challenge before it ends haha!

This week’s challenge has been set by Maya and she has chosen “grey & purple”.  These have to be your dominant colours (but hair, skin and fur are allowed).  Here is my card:

I’ve used an image from Sugar Nellie stamps called ‘domestic goddess’ and coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  The embossed cardstock is actually a light grey but some reason it looks beige in the picks – my usual photography skills at work lol!  The doily started life as a large square but I cut it down on the side and stuck it back together to make a frame for the image – I think it looks quite pretty.

Our sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy stamps and one lucky winner will receive a stamp of their choice. 

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples so please pop over and check them out.   We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

Stamp with fun #145–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I trust you had a good weekend.  The weather here was quite good, we saw a bit of sunshine even though it was still chilly.  We were celebrating my parents 45th wedding anniversary on Saturday and all went out for a lovely family meal in the evening.  It was wonderful to spend time with my parents, sister and her family and we seemed to laugh all night!! 

I’m here this morning to share my DT card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge.  Our theme this week is “cute vintage”, although I did misread the theme slightly and just made a vintage card, but I thought I’d share it anyway.  Here is my card:

I made this for my aunt’s 100th birthday a few week’s ago and as I didn’t have an actual photograph of her when she was young I used Google to find a royalty free image to use on my card.  I lightly coloured her headband and flowers with flex markers to match my papers and added stickles to the flowers.  I inked all the edges for a distressed/aged look and added some lace and a decorative metal corner. 

The rest of the design team have created gorgeous cards as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Stamp with fun #134–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you had a brilliant weekend, but as I always say on a Monday morning, it went too fast!!  The boys are on their half-term holidays from school this week so at least I can have stress free mornings getting ready for work!  The only drawback with them being home is that they eat everything in sight and make such a mess!! 

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge and we have a wonderful sketch by Andrea-Emmi41 for you to use.  Firstly here is my card:

and here is the sketch:

This card was made for an order that I had from a lady at work.  She only specified that she needed a 40th wedding anniversary card and that the couple liked dancing.  As soon as I saw this image at Karen’s Doodles shop I knew it would be perfect.  It was a bit touch an go for a while as the shop was down but thankfully it re-opened just in time!  The image is called ‘sweep me off my feet’ and I coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  I used some gorgeous ribbon with tiny hearts on each side but unfortunately I covered most of it up with embellishments lol! 

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples once again this week, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

Passion for promarkers #115–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Well the bank holiday certainly flew by but at least we have a shorter working week now *yay*.  I cannot believe that the next holiday will be Christmas (excuse my swearing lol!).  I’m not even that organised for the boys to go back to school yet – I’ve only bought them pens so far so I’d better get my act together this week.  I’m lucky as they don’t go back until Wednesday and Thursday next week, so I have a bit of extra time yet. 

I’m here this morning with my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge and I have to say we have a very special challenge for you this week.  We are being sponsored by Letraset and as their Flex Markers are due to be released very soon they are offering one lucky winner 2 x 6 pen sets of flex markers of their choice.  Therefore to coincide with this we decided our challenge this week would be ‘flexible’ i.e. “anything goes”.  Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your promarkers, aqua markers, tria markers or even flex markers if you are lucky enough to have them.  Here is my card:

I have used a super cute image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘off to school Eva’ which is just perfect for this time of year (there is also a ‘boy’ version called ‘off to school Ben’ which is equally as adorable).  I thought the colour scheme was really fresh and I really love gingham, so the perfect combination I think.  The fun letters were found whilst hunting around in my stash, although I was looking for ABC letters, but I’m happy with these as I think look cute.

As I mentioned Letraset are our sponsor this week and the prize is 2 x 6 pen sets of Flex Markers for one lucky winner. 

The rest of the design team have created amazing cards as usual, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning friends.  Well it’s Friday, so that means that it’s the last day of my holiday!  I’m sure you haven’t missed me that much as I’ve scheduled all my posts this week (well as long as they’ve worked lol!).  I’m back this morning as it’s time for a brand new challenge over at winter wonderland challenge and Suzi has set the theme of “white on white” and the only colour allowed is on your image, the rest has to be white!  Now I really struggle with this type of card and I hate photographing them but I suppose a challenge isn’t supposed to be easy!  Anyway here is my card:

 

I have used one of the new images from Pollycraft called ‘swings & slides – all the trimmings’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  I have used 2 embossing folders for the background and a gorgeous sizzix swirl die cut.  I’m gutted that I stuck the image on a little wonky but it was stuck down good and proper so couldn’t get it back off!! 

Our sponsor this week is Sassy studio designs and the lucky winner will receive 4 digi images of their choice.

The rest of the design team have created gorgeous Christmas cards once again this week, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out. 

I will hopefully be able to join in with some challenges when I get back from my holiday later this evening. 

I hope you’ve had a really good week and are looking forward to chilling at the weekend.  I’m hoping that my bathroom is finished (or at least almost finished) when I get home!!  Thanks for stopping by today.
