Dancing Queen

Hi all,

Here I am again, with this weeks DT card for the challenge over at 

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes.

For my card this week, I've used the image

Dancing Cow Digi #15612

She's such a dancing queen don't you think?

I sang that song all the while I was making this card! Lol

I coloured the image with my Promarkers as usual.

I die cut the image, leaving the tail out of the die.

The papers are from my stash.

I did the sentiment on my PC & die cut then trimmed.

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.
Each week, we select two winners  1 using QKR Stampede or Eureka Stamps image and

I'd like to add my card to the following challenges:

Happy New Home!

Hi everyone!

For some reason, this card didn't post when it should have, despite
my post being scheduled! I apologise if you've been waiting for it!


Here I am again with a little card to share!
This is my DT inspiration for the challenge over at
 QKR Stampede 

It's another CAS card using the image

Cottage Digital Stamp Digi 17805

I used a digital paper & inked with Distress inks then coloured with my

Promarkers the colours are closer to the colours of the paper in real life

but sadly here in Scotland, we are short of daylight!

I used a circle die for the image & a shout out die for the sentiment

which was simply created on my PC.

I added a sheer ribbon & a couple of self adhesive gems to finish!

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.

Poor Kitty

Hi all,

I'm back again this week with my DT card for the challenge
 over at  QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes

The image I have used for my CAS card is

Bandaged Cat Digi #14911
He's just perfect for a Get well Soon card as he looks so sad!

The base card is A6 tent fold in grey card.

I coloured the image with promarkers then added some

ribbon from my stash & a bit of card candi!

I do like a CAS card but I always have to add a little something!

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.

Hi folks,

I'm back with my weekly DT card for the 

QKR Stampede Challenge DT

The image I've used this time is

Rainy Day Duck Digital Stamp

ES-digi2006
and the sentiment is

Under the Weather Digital Stamp

ES-digi2007

The get well soon was typed on the PC using a font called

Dot to Dot. I thought it looked quite good with the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by to see my little creation!

The 3 different papers are from my stash!

They were actually in my scrap box & the colours caught my eye.

I reckon I must have prepped them for another card that was never made!

A bit of inking with some chalk inks then,

I added a sheer ribbon bow just to finish it off!

Love Cats 1st Anniversary Card

Hi everyone,

Here I am with my card for the QKR Stampede Challenge DT this week!

Some of you may have had a sneak preview as this posted by accident earlier 

than it should have! Naughty blogger! 

Last year we moved house and we were

lucky enough to be invited us to a wedding by our new neighbours.

We had the most amazing time & it was great getting to know everyone.

Of course, we couldn't let the happy couples 

1st Wedding Anniversary 

go by without sending our wishes, so I made this little card!

The image used is 

Lovecats Digital Stamp ES-digi8208

The sentiment is

Happy Anniversary Digital Stamp ES-digi9004.

I coloured the image with my promarkers, die cut it then added some 
Distress Oxide while it was still in the die.

The papers I've used have been in my stash for a long time 
but I have been very sparing with them.
Don't you just hate it when the things that you love run out!

To create the fishtails, I used the corner of a square punch.

Hope you like my little card & I hope you can play along with us this week!

Crafty Creations

Hi all,

Recently, I was lucky enough to get a message in my inbox from a very special lady!

I was invited to join the papercraft design team for Craft Creations!

It took me a second or two to decide, so here I am!

These are my first samples & they will be on Hochanda TV

today Friday 24th May at 12pm & 4pm

You can watch online here or on your telly box

Freeview 85 Sky 673 or FreeSat 817

This one was made using black cardstock, the Feather Stamp & Sentiment

which were embossed with white EP& a little bit of lace from my stash!

Simple but effective I reckon

The flamingo card was stamped using Distress Oxides, 

then coloured with a promarker or two!

I die cut the image & matted & layered using some circle dies. 

The background & sentiment were stamped with distress oxides too.

A few sticky pearls from my stash & we're done!

This unicorn was stamped & embossed in black then coloured with

my sparkly Sakura pens! I do like to dig them out from time to time!

The matting & layering was done using plain white CS & blue glitter card!

I punched the corners for a bit of interesting detail

This unicorn was stamped with Distress Ink then coloured with a mix

of promarkers & flexmarkers.

I die cut the image then used Distress Inks to create the background.

I matted & layered some Kraft CS die cuts to create interest

Thanks for dropping in & don't forget to tune in to 

Craft Creations
on Hochanda @12 & 4pm
It' going to be a great show & I believe there may be Bank Holiday Specials too!

One For The Guys

Good Morning all,

The weeks are flying in aren't they!

I just can't believe we are in mid June aleready.

I'm in the middle of trying to sort out my craftroom/spare bedroom

between guests but have taken time out to make this little card.

for the challenge over at Eureka Stamps this week where the theme is

#197 One For The Guys - Masculine or Father's Day Cards

I've used the gorgeous little image

Fawn #13106

Isn't it just adorable!

My mum & dad live just at the edge of an estate & go walking

in a local country park most days. Deer are a common sight, so I thought 

this would be the perfect image for my Father's Day card to my dad!

I used a 6"x6" Kraft card base & Kraft papers which I lightly distressed with some scissors.

The image was coloured with Promarkers then cut using a Spellbinders die.

I added a computer generated sentiment, some twine & some 

scrabble type wooden letters to embellish!

I hope you like it & I look forward to seeing what you create for the challenge

Snow Kisses

Good morning all!

As some of you already know, I was lucky enough to be chosen

as a Guest Designer for Scribbles Designs.

They have some great images which you can check out here!

There are lots of Friday Freebies too, which gives you another great reason to visit!

I'm a sucker for snowmen & I had to get started on my Christmas cards, 

so, I made a little White On White Christmas card using -

 #243 Snow Kisses and 

 #042 Seasons Greetings Quote.

The card base is 6"x6" Centura Pearl cardstock & I've used this 

for all of the elements. The image was coloured using Promarkers, 

then cut using a spellbinders circle die.

I added four embossed panels,which were popped up on foam pads for dimension.

I placed a memory box die cut, behind the image, & added a

 Marianne Creatables die cut snowflake,

To finish the card off, I threaded some sheer ribbon through the sentiment 

which was die cut with a spellbinders die.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you like my little card! Don't forget to check out the challenge

Baby Baby!

Good morning all!

#187 Baby Cards

I've made a 1st Birthday card using the oh so sweet image,

digi 40204 Baby Animals

I coloured up the image using my promarkers.

I'll let you in to a secret...........

I've been under the weather for a couple of weeks and

while I was making this card, I made a big boo boo & stuck it all on 

the wrong way round! I managed to salvage it though & 

the card has now turned into an 8"x8" project.

The papers I've used are from Lidl, they're great quality & I'm

 not sure if you can see but they are embossed too!

The stars were punched from the papers using different sixed xcut punches.

I hope you can play along in the challenge

#172 Santa

Here's my little CAS card!

I've used the adorable little Digi 16901Santa Stuck In Chimney

& Digi 16902 (527) Darn Milk & Cookies

I've coloured the image using my Promarkers then cut with a Spellbinders oval die.

The base is an A6 white card blank & the background is from Kanban.

The image & sentiment were layered onto some Kanban CS.

I popped up the image & sentiment on some 1mm foam pads to add

some dimension but keep it within the normal UK postage limits

Not too much more to say about this quick & simple little card!

Thanks so much for dropping in!

Good morning all,

So sorry I haven't been around much!

#163 Halloween

Here's my card

I've used the cute digi 3901 Witch &  the great sentiment

digi 3907 Happy Halloween.

My card is quite simple, I did think about making it a bit more fancy but

 I decided to let the elements speak for themselves.

I coloured the image with ym promarkers then cut out with a spellbinders die.

I added a bit of distress inks to the image & the sentiment.

The paper was from Lidl, I love those papers.

The button is from my stash & the hessian/burlap is from the £1 shop.

I added a little raffia bow behind the button.

The sentiment panels were popped up on a little foam tape.

I added a little bit of decoration to the inside of the card too!

I used the same paper, added a white panel to write on & fussy cut the pumkpkins

& ghost from another paper. The Boo is cut from the paper too!

Washi Day

Good morning all, it's Monday!!!

That means it's time for a brand new challenge over at
Eureka Stamps where the theme for this week is

# 152 Washi Tape

I just love Washi Tape!!!

The image I have used for my card this week is

Digi 14707 (514) Cascading Hearts

When it came to time to make my card, I had a whole heap of trouble.

 I upgraded to Windows 10 the other day & my laptop & printer weren't 

talking to each other. Of course I only found out when I wanted to print my image!!

It took a while but I finally managed to get them on speaking terms

 again with just enough time to get my card done! lol

Here's how I did it:

I used an A6 (A2 in USA) card for the base.

My image & sentiment were printed on to the same piece of card,

The image was coloured with promarkers, to match the Washi tape colours.

A few strips of Washi, a paper clip & some foam tape & hey presto!

I hope you like my little card & I hope you'll play in the challenge

I for one would love to see what you do with your Washi Tape!

QKR Stampede & to "add a sun"

I've used ,Digi 20207(205) Smiling Sun from Eureka Stamps

My card is very clean & simple.

The base is 6"x6" cardstock from Lidl

The images were coloured using a mix of Promarkers, Flexmarkers, 

Copic & Distress Markers.

Next, I cut out the images using spellbinders circle dies.

The sun is mounted on foam tape for dimension.

The Hello is cut twice, once in Kraft & once in white using a Lawn Fawn Die.

Feeling Tyred

Good Morning all!

It's Thursday & I have another little Just Inklined card 

 to share with you today!

The image is called Feeling Tyred.

He's such a cute little guy don't you think, just swinging on his tyre!

I used Kraft Card-stock for the 6"x6" base & added papers from

Papermania "For Him" Colossal Paper Pack

 (which I've had in my stash forever)

Here's a closer look at the image which I coloured with Promarkers.

I then distressed with a pair of scissors & a liquid chalk inkpad.

Next I cut him out with an oval nestie & matted onto a scalloped oval of Kraft

I used a sketch for the layout!

It from Willow Sketchie sadly I won't make that challenge!

I added a couple of buttons on a piece of twine. This was rescued from

a shop bought card my hubby received for his birthday.

The sentiment ticket is by The Crafty Pad Designs.

It was treated in the same way as the image.

Here you can see I've decorated the inside of the card using the

same layout but another paper from the "For Him" pad.
