Watch Out For The Crafty Pad Showcase!

Good Morning Blog Land!

It's my turn to showcase a Crafty Pad Image to remind you all 

to enter your Crafty Pad Creations in the 

 May Crafty Pad Monthly Showcase.
Remember, this runs until the end of the month.

Don't have a Crafty Pad Image???
You can pick up a freebie from the Challenge Blog here

I've waited ages to share this card with you all!

I have to say I am rather pleased with this one if I say it myself!
This is the first time I've tried this out, it's an
Acetate Tent Card
& was inspired by my good friends Ali & Debbie
Thank You Ladies!

The clock face is the Pocket Watch image from this set at 

The Crafty Pad Designs

The Sentiment Ticket is also from The Crafty Pad Designs.

I printed out  Design Papers from 

Bearly Mine Designs 

onto both sides of some super smooth card.

Next I printed all of the elements out on the card.

I cut out the elements & inked using some distressed inks

Not sure if you can see it in the photo but I liquid embossed the face with

Anita's 3D Glaze, when it had dried, I put it in the freezer.

This allowed me to crack the glaze, giving a cracked glass effect

On the back, I used the pocket watch image again but I blanked out the middle 

then added the birthday greeting.

You can see another Crafty Pad Designs Sentiment Ticket there too!

I made the circle sentiment in my graphics programme

The font is 1942 Report & you can get it free here

I thought this gave the card an added vintage feel.

A closer look at the sentiment ticket.

Here's an angled view.

I added some Funky fibres in co-ordinating colours.

Before I go I should also remind you of our Sponsor this month!

Good Morning all,

It's Wednesday & that means it's time for a fab new challenge over at 

Dude Time Doodles!

This week we have a really fun challenge for you!

First of all here's my card!

The Challenge we have for you is Bingo!

I chose the diagonal, twine,step card,brads.

The image is Ted TightEnd

On the football field, he's a bit of a scary character but off the field, 

he's a real pussycat!

I coloured him up with promarkers & fussy cut him out,

before mounting him on to the card with foam squares for dimension.

The card base was made using an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I used a Pop Out Step Card Template from 

Debbie Lauder over at Craftystash

It's so simple to use & saved on waste too, as there is an elements sheet included!

The papers I have used were a freebie download by Shabby Princess

I think they are fantastic & they were just what I wanted for this card!

I printed the striped paper directly on to the card stock & printed 

the template on the reverse.

I cut it out using a craft knife & ruler then embossed the fold lines 

with an embossing tool & ruler.

I added the sentiment to the panels in my graphics programme. 

The font I have used is called Collegiate & you can download it free from here!

I distressed all of the panels with a red inkpad before assembling the 

card & added twine & brads from my stash.

I have to say I was really happy with the way this one turned out!

I hope you like him too! Thanks so much for stopping by!
