Double Day!

I'm giving a cheeky reminder to pop over to our new challenge

and click the follow button!!

It might well be worth your while 😉

***********************************

Our new challenge theme over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is nature - flowers/birds, animals or anything goes option

but remember to stamp!

We have a lovely prize on offer too,

who wouldn't want to win these!!!

For my card I embossed some green card with a flower folder (Sizzix).

I then tore some vellum and added a foiled transfer

border to the middle from crafters companion.

I stamped the flowers using a stamp from Bee Crafty

called Vintage Springtime and coloured it up with markers.

I then stamped and die cut the pot from an SU set

called Country Flowers. I mounted it onto my base card to finish.

It's also time for our new challenge at

WE LOVE STAMPING

and the theme this month is

use your favourite stamps and add ribbon/lace

along with anything goes option.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too!

So be sure and join us in both challenges this month!!

I pulled out an old but favourite stamp of mine called

On to Adventure (SU) to make a retirement card for a friend

who is heading off on a big holiday to celebrate!

She has been coloured up with markers and mounted onto

some lilac card. For the base I used the same card and

some paper called Delightfully Eclectic (SU)

and a border of lace was added before

adding my top image.

I stamped the sentiment very crookedly I see,

on top of the image but will layer it up to fix!

Passion for Markers - anything but a birthday 

Ribbon tidy!

Spring must be in the air as I decided to have a clear

out of one of my ribbon drawers and get it organized!

I made a bunch of ribbon holders using old card and

my very best trio punch.

There are lots of videos out there showing this method

but if you would like to see how I made them

just shout below and I will do a video.

I didn't bother scoring etc. I just used my eye,

punched the slit and wrapped around the ribbon spool.

It definitely works great though!!

Such a simple technique and my ribbons now stay put

when I have finished with them.

Now on to the next drawer 😂

Have a great weekend everyone!

Step into another birthday!

I made this stepper card for an upcoming family birthday.

She is into running and is super fit and sporty

so thought this image from Saturated Canary would

suit her well.

The papers are called Delightfully Eclectic (SU)

I teamed it up with purple card and ribbon.

The quote is from Enjoy Life stamp set (SU)

and the Sentiment is from Sweet Ice cream (SU).

I punched out some flowers and added some

card candi coloured to match for the centres.

The image has been coloured using markers.

Another sunny day so we are back out into the garden

for lots of work.

We have been building a patio, digging new planting areas

and sorting lots of bits and pieces.

Back breaking work for sure but so pleasant

as it is not RAINING!!

Enjoy your day.

Tag-along (& ATC's)

I am just HOPPING on to let you know about

our brand new challenge blog!

If you want more information then HOP over

HERE.

I am sharing a little tag I made for a new baby.

I have used a border punch for the lacy top and bottom

and the bunny and wording is from a stamp

set called Easter Bunny (SU).

The background papers are also from SU.

I coloured up the bunny with markers

and added some ribbon and bakers twine.

I would like to enter my tag into

As we are a Tag and ATC challenge I went

ahead and made a little ATC

using Fable Friends stamp set (SU).

The background has been made using my inks and a

cloud stencil.

The bunny has been coloured up using markers.

I grabbed a tree stamp from Happy Hedgehogs (SU)

and stamped it around the top of the ATC

and coloured it up with markers.

The sentiment was stamped in memento.

So come and check us out, follow the blog

and get ready for our first challenge in May!
