Flights Of Fancy

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well so far!

It's time for my DT Inspiration for the latest challenge over at 

The Crafting Cafe

I've made a little A6 CAS card!

I've used two of the images kindly supplied by this mont's sponsor

Dr Digi's House Of Stamps

The first image is Captain Thunderpants, the second, which I've cropped into the

call out bubble is Phyllis the Festive Fairy.

Captain Thunderpants has a flight of fancy that he & Phyllis will

one day fly of into the wild blue yonder together...........

although I'm not sure how Phyllis would feel about that if she knew!

I used my Promarkers & flexmarkers to colour up the images.

The sentiment is printed using a free font called winged.

I used a picket fence die to cut along the top of the image panel.

I also added the strip that was left along the top of the card.

Not sure why, I just liked the effect!

I added a panel to the inside which wat die cut with a Spellbinders Rectangle 

Hope to see you over at The Crafting Cafe!

I'd like to enter this card in a couple of challenges:

 Good Morning all,

Here's another selection of little cards I made using this month's cover gift from the 

Creativity Magazine

I simply added some lace & papers from my stash,

 a Happy Birthday peel off & gems to embellish.

The decoupage & sentiment were mounted on foam tape for some dimension

A get well card, again using items from my stash.

Finally a little Thank You card.

I used the lace for a bunting effect, matted the decoupage on to a Spellbinders 

die cut oval which I had inked with Spun Sugar & Milled Lavender Distress inks.

The sentiment is die cut & I added a little sparkle using a 

Sakura Clear Star gel pen.

I'd like to enter this card in the Use Kraft Card challenge over at Little Claire's

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really enjoyed playing with this

little cover gift & managed to make a total of 8 cards with it!

Washi Fun - Happy Birthday & A Surprise

Hi all, I've been having some fun with my Washi Tape!

I love the stuff, it's just perfect for a quick CAS card.

You might recall I made a few cards using this at Christmas time!

Not much to say about this wee card really, it's A6, the flower is from my

stash, I got them in the pound shop ages ago & I printed the 

sentiment onto the base card which is Linen Embossed CS.

That's about it really!

Oh yes & the surprise!

I've not had the best couple of days, nothing serious at all, just trivial things

but when I got home from work, I had a note from the postie

to say he'd left a parcel for me with a neighbour!

I am expecting a delivery but it's a pair of tweezers, so I was intrigued........

Anyhoo, I rang the neighbours doorbell & the man of the house appeared with a huge

padded envelope! I was mystified by this point!

I chatted for a bit as you do but I was dying to get into the house

to investigate further.

Well, here's what this surprise parcel contained!

How amazing is that?

It's from a very lovely friend, very lovely indeed!

This has totally made my day!

I'm sure my Mum & I will find this very handy for making our 

fundraising cards for Breakthrough!

Thanks so much Nikki! You're one special lady! xx

A Gorjuss Gift

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend if you celebrate it.

It was lovely to be off work for 4 days straight.

We managed to get out for lunch  enjoyed a few walks in the unexpected sunshine

over the last couple of days.

Anyhoo, I got a copy of the Creativity Magazine which had a 

Santoro cover gift this time, so I decided to have a bit of a play!

I make loads of cards to sell for charity & as a result, I like to be as

 thrifty as I possible when making them!

Here's what I made using the freebie & some stuff mainly from my scraps box!

Decoupage, buttons & paper were from the kit.

The ribon is upcycled from a christmas gift set & the lace was

a scrap from another project,

To be thrifty, I often split the decoupage & use every second layer to

make another image. You'll see a card I made using this in a mo!

The sentiment was cut with a Tattered Lace die.

Again, a scrap of lace, the gift set ribbon & some of the ribbon tags from a top.

The sentiment tag was part of the kit & I added a peel of greeting!

This is the second layers of the decoupage matted & layered then placed on an oval die cut.

The ribon is from another gift set & the lace is from my stash!

After I had stuck it on, it srtuck me that it would have looked lovely as bunting!

Bling from my stash & sentmiment from another Tattered Lace die

A kraft base for this one, a Martha Stewart Doily Border Punch added a

little bit of detail. The sentiment was a Tonic tape runner, which has lots od

different fonts. The little flower is from Do Crafts I think, 

it's been kicking about my stash forever!

Last one for now, I used papers from my scrap box,

the sentiment is another font from the tape runner, a Tattered Lace 

die cut heart button & some die cut flourishes to embellish

as well as a scrap of lace & some upcycled ribbon!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Gnome Computer

Hi all, finally I'm back with another little gnome....

I mean a card to share with you!

I just can't get enough of these little guys! They're so cute!

Meet Gnome Computer from La Pashe!

I totally love this little dude & knew exactly whom I wanted to make this card for!

As usual, he's available in several different formats,

on the Gnomes & Fairies CD, as a decoupage sheet & as a Flippin' sheet.

The DP's are from the CD too!

There are so many papers, which would be perfect for so many things, 

 they are not just limited to match up with the images.

Here's a closer look, I cut him out & layered with pinflair gel,

then matted & layered on to an 8x8in card blank. 

The ribbon is from SU

As you can just about see here, I decorated the inside of the card too!

Thanks for popping in!

Good morning all!

Today I'm sharing a little fairy easel card with you!

Meet The Bubble Bath Fairy from the La Pashe

Gnomes & Fairies CD Rom

Perfect for so many occasions!

The DP is from the CD & there are many more on there!

I've added the sentiment as the stop, some ruffled ribbon & a pretty butterfly

 charm to embellish!

Here's a closer look at her! I've glittered her up a bit but I'm not sure

you can see it in the picture!

I love all the detail in the background, it seems such a shame to cover it up!

Here's a little view from the side showing the fold if you're not familiar.

You can also see the dimension of the ruffled ribbon!

Good morning all!

It's been ages since I've shared a Just Inklined 

card with you but I have one to share today!

I was asked to make a card with a teddy, for a first grandchild.

The image I have used is Baby Drum.

I've coloured the image using a mix of flexmarkers & promarkers.

The papers are from Southfield Stationers

The sentiment was made on my pc.

The heart border was made using a Martha Stewart punch.

Here's a closer look at the image.

Isn't he just a total cutie?

Thanks for looking!

Leave me a comment & I'll visit your blog too!

Gardening Fairy

Hi all,
I have a card featuring a little fairy for you today!
 I should have posted this one the other day but we've been
out & about & I forgot to schedule it!

I've made a little A5 fold back card with this sweet decoupage!

She's The Gardening Fairy from the La Pashe Gnomes & Fairies CD 

The DP & the sentiment I have used are from the CD too!

Here's closer look!

The decoupage was layered up using gel glue.

 I added a sheer ribbon bow & a button to embellish!

Hope you like her & thanks so much for stopping by!

See you soon with another card!

Crafty Hugs

Welcome Little One

Hi all,

I have another card to share with you!

Sorry, it's a fairy! They seem to be right on trend just now! lol

This card is my DT card for the challenge over at

The Crafting Cafe. This month's, theme is 

Welcome Little One!

I've gone a little bit out there this time, with a little fab n funky style!

My card base is a 6 x6 scalloped square.

The DP I have used is from Lidl. 

I always buy a load of these when they have them!

This image was supplied by our sponsor this month

The Stamping Boutique

I used a Martha Stewart Heart punch for the border, wrapped some 

button twine around, then made the flower by layering up some 

hessian flowers which came in a bag from Poundland,

& added a button centre.

Here's a closer look at the image!

I coloured her up with my flexmarkers then cut out with an

oval nestie. I inked with a chalk inkpad then matted onto a scalloped oval.

A little side view to show the decorated inside too!

The sentiment was created on my PC!

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

Bowling Gnome

Good Morning all!

Has everyone got their Gnomes & Fairies CD's from 

La Pashe yet?

I've got mine & I'd like to share this card that I made with you!

It's a type of pop up card!

This little guy is called Bowling Gnome!

What a sweet & cheeky little smile he has!

This card base is 8x8 inch, with lot's of folds and it can stand up on it's own,

a side view to show the folds

but, it folds flat for posting! 

I found a tutorial for this type of card when I was doing a bit of blog hopping.

I thought I had bookmarked the page but it seems not. So, I'm sorry I can't share a link to it!

I will of course keep looking.

I decoupaged up the Gnome using Pinflair glue & popped the sentiment up for 

some added dimension. The only extra embellishments I've added are

 a couple of buttons threaded with a

little bit of recycled twine from a clothes tag.

Thanks for popping in! If you haven't already ordered a CD,

I wouldn't hang about! These guys are very popular!

The good news is, they will be on Create & Craft TV today
