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.

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 all,

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

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes

This week, I've made a Christmas card using

Sledding Bear digi#15906

I used the plaid paper as I wanted to create a card which would 

be suitable for a man. It looks so cosy too!

The image was coloured with promarkers & the star & baubles on the tree 

were highlighted using my Sakura Glaze pens.

For the layout, I followed the sketch from  Create a Smile

and, as I wanted to keep it simple I didn't add many embellishments,

just a few little bits of card candi!

I used a font called Mountains Of Christmas to create the sentiment

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

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!

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!

Play A Saw

Good morning all, here I am again with another little card.

I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

 

This one was made for my hubby on our wedding anniversary!

The reason behind this odd card is that we went to a party a while back & someone 

actually did play a saw! Yep, the kind you get from hardware stores!

It was incredible! 

We were both stunned. I'd never have believed what a wonderful a 

tune you could produce from a basic saw!

The watch/clock embossed panel was wiped over with gilding wax.

The clippings are from a cider bottle label! Hubby does love a cider!

The lace & buttons are from my stash.

The little sentiment tags are LOTV

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card!

Edited to add:- I was contacted via twitter by a lady who makes the most

beautiful music playing a saw. 

If you have a minute, you can watch her here

Lavender & Lace

Hi everyone, happy Friday to you!
Is everyone off for the Bank Holiday weekend?

Here I am with the last of my Lavender Lister samples made from the papercrafting kit.

I love using all the little extra bits off of a sheet to make cards.

For this one used the little butons popped up on foam pads.

The sentiment is from one of the sheets too.

I also used one of the patterned paperw with some ric rac binding, a little lace,

and a few little sticky back gems from my stash!

I absolutely love the colours on this one. 

The image would be great for so many different occassions too. 

I added a little die-cut sentiment, the buttons are rescued from a cardigan 

& the lace is from my stash!

Thanks again for stopping by!
