It's A Little Bit Sketchy

Good Morning all & Happy Monday!

It's time for the new challenge over at Eureka Stamps.

This week Karal has a great sketch for you to play with!

#188 Sketch

The images I have used to make my card this time are 

9304 Pansies & 22202 Enjoy Life

The card base is  6"x6" square,  linen embossed cardstock.

The green mat is linen embossed too.

I used my promarkers to colour up the pansies & create the dotty background.

I used a spellbinders oval die to cut out the image & a circle for

the sentiment. These were popped up a bit on 1mm foam tape.

The paper is from a book my mum gave me.

It was just the colour I wanted.

The lace & gems are from my stash!

Here's the sketch

Isn't it great!

Jar Of Hearts Scribbles

Hello everyone!

I'm here with another card to share!

A few weeks back I was invited to be a guest Scribbler over at

Scribbles Designs

I was of course delighted & jumped at the chance!

Here's my debut GDT card!

I used the sweet image #890 Hearts Mason Jar to make my card.

The card base is a Kraft 145x145mm square.

I coloured up the image using my promarkers then cut it out with a Spellbinders die.

I edged everything with a pink Colour Q liquid chalk inkpad.

The paper I have used is one from Lidl, it seems I have been using these

 a lot lately. My craft/ spare bedroom is a bit topsy turvey so it's hard to get to things 

for the moment and these might just be a little easier to get to than others!

I just happen to love them too! lol 

I added a section of doily as when I think of things that come in Mason jars, 

I always think of doilies & ginham. Which brings me neatly on to the ribbon 

which came from a crafty friends de stash.

The die cut hearts were cut with an embosslit (another crafty de stash buy)  & the 

sentiment was die cut twice from  Kraft CS using a Lawn Fawn die then layered 

to give a bit of dimension & shadow.

I hope you like my card & I hope you can play in the challenge.

The theme at the moment is " A Song In My Heart"

You can use a song title or pehaps some of the words as your inspiration.

The inspirations for my card was the title:

Jar Of Hearts, from a Christina Perri song!

I have another card to share with you today!

This is a sneak peek of one of the samples I made for the launch of this exciting CD

To quote a friend

"The Big One was a limited edition compilation CD of the best of La Pashe 2008-2011 released five years ago, but people still ask about it now, so La Pashe thought they would re-release it, along with a second volume featuring everything they have done in 2012-2014"

Thanks Sharon, I couldn't have put it better

I, like lots of other people missed out on The Big One the first time around,

so I'm excited about this one!

Tune in next week to see Bailey presenting The Big One on Create & Craft TV.

Now, here's sneak peek of one of my samples!

Nice & Easel Nasturtium & Bee

I simply used a 6"x 6" card base edged with a Martha Stewart border punch

Then added the decoupage. The sentiment panel is mounted on some cs which was punched, 

wrapped with gingham ribbon, from my stash, tied in a double bow, 

then raised on foam tape to act as the stop for the easel section.

Nice & Easel indeed!

It's Monday & it's time for the new challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

This weeks fun theme is

#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

Time for the new challenge over at Eureka Stamps where the theme is:

#186 Spring Is In The Air

I've used the fun digi 7701 Cheerleader for my card!

I coloured her up in yellow hues as I always think of daffodils

when I think of spring!

The butterfly paper is fom Lidl. I fussy cut some of the butterflies

out & layered them up on foam tape for some dimension.

The border punch I have used is from Martha Stewart.

I did the sentiment on the pc using a free font called Love Letters

Monkeying Around

Good morning all!

I can't get in to my craft room at the mo so I've been doing a 

bit of much needed mooching around to sort out a few things on my laptop!

I've come across quite a few cards I haven't shared with you.

This is one of them!

I am friendly with the family who run our local Chinese takeaway

& I make them a card every Chinese New Year!

This year, is the year of the monkey!

These cute little monkeys were cut using a Tattered Lace die.

The card base is DL size Linen embossed CS.

I printed the sentiment panels & matted & layered.

The card still has pride of place in the shop, which makes me giggle 

every time I go in! 

Thanks for popping in today!

How Many Candles?

Good morning all!

I'm back again with another, not so little card to share with you!

This time, it's a 21st Birthday card I made for my nephew!

Happy Birthday Richard!

The card base is 8"x8"

I used a Tattered Lace die to cut out the candles.

I can tell you it was a true labour of love cutting out all those little pieces

then sticking them all down!

Still, I think the final result was worth it!

The little Celebrate was cut using another TL die.

The paper was from my stash & the Happy Birthday was computer generated.

I also decorated the inside of the card & added a La Pashe, Short 'n' Sweet verse!

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you like this little card.

Sticker Stamps

Good morning all!

I have some cards to share with you today!

Have you heard about the new sticker stamps from La Pashe?

They are clear & self adhesive, & can be coloured with markers, pencils or crayons, 

left as they are or stuck on to coloured/patterned paper.

Here are the samples I made using them!

For this one I stck the sticker on to some patterened papers then die cut.

The papers I have used are from Bo Bunny.

This one was stuck on to some plain cardstock & once again die cut.

I'm pretty sure these papers are from DCWV

For this easel card, I used some metallic pencils to colour the sweets befor sticking 

on to some co-ordinating paper. The stop is a short & sweet easy peely verse.

I used alcohol markers for the balloons on this one.

I found it difficult to blend them so the colours are flat,

(but I am no expert at colouring)

This one was stuck to some pearlised card stck to give it some sheen.

I'm sure you'll agree they are very versaile & make a change from the usual digi or

stamped images. Perhaps they may be the sort of thing you could pack for some

 holiday crafting!

 Bailey will be on Create & Craft TV demonstrating the funky new 

'Sticker Stamps' 

Create & Craft TV 

Freeview 36, Sky 674, Virgin 748 & Free Sat 813

the shows!
