Charisma Cardz - Challenge 12 - MY FAVOURITE THINGS



Hello, this week's challenge at Charisma Cardz is My Favourite Things.

I've recently discovered digital stamps and I think they are great, they definitely count among my favourite crafting things at the moment (alongside nestabilities, which I've used too).

I feel really bad because the download image I have used is a freebie but I can't remember where she came from. If anyone knows where she is from, please can you let me know, so I can give credit where it is due.

I coloured her in using the OMS technique with a set of Rymans own brand pencils and the papers are from Die Cuts with a View. I've also used Sakura clear glaze on the water but this doesn't show on the photograph (in fact I take a pretty poor photograph full stop!). The sentiment is from Clare Curd's Papermania range.

Thank you for looking.

Stamps and Smiles Sketch Challenge #7

This is my entry for this week's Stamps and Smiles challenge. The challenge is to follow the sketch provided (see below).

I haven't given much time to crafting this week as my OH has been on holiday and we have been enjoying time as a family - mostly spent in the garden making the most of this great weather.
However, while he was visiting his Mum today today to wish her a Happy Mothers' Day, I thought I would use the time to make a card.

This is my first attempt at using my sewing machine to make a card, and I had great fun!

I've used a Penny Black stamp and coloured it using the OMS technique with a pack of very cheap pencils - I don't know how long the colour will last but I was pleased with the results (it looks brighter in real life!). For the rest of the card I have used Die Cuts with a View cardstock, Anitas Ribbon and nestabilities.
Thank you for looking.

Charizma Cardz - Challenge No. 10

Hello everyone, I needed to make a card for my sister's OH, it's his 40th birthday toward the end of this month, and I thought I would enter it in this week's Charizma Cardz challenge "Something for the Guys".

I've kept it nice and simple. I used cardstock from my stash, my lovely new nesties, "Round Table" Sizzlits alphabet and swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder.

Thank you for looking.

TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS - Challenge 2



The current challenge at Truly Scrumptious is to follow the sketch and use hand-made buttons. The heart button I have made by cutting a scallop nestability heart out of shrink plastic, punching two holes and chalking it before heating. I have made a second button by cutting out a flower from a spare piece of paper and coating it with Sakura clear glaze. The card is DCWV, the patterned paper is free from a magazine (sorry, I can't remember which one) and the sentiment is Penny Black.

Here is the sketch. Thank you for looking.

MOJO MONDAY - Week 77
Hello, I thought I would have a go at this week's Mojo Monday challenge. I'm loving the teddy bears from Cuddly Buddly at the moment, I've coloured this bear using Whispers marker pens. The papers are from a QVC kit (Brenda Pinnick I think). The gems and ribbon I bought from the Range.

Thank you for looking.

Hello, here is my creation for this week's Charisma Card Challenge No. 9 - Pretty Cards/Pretty Cards for Mum.

I've used a cute teddy clipart from Kim MacFarlane at Cuddly Buddly, which I have coloured using Derwent Aquatone water colour pencils. The papers I've used are from K&Co and Do-Crafts.

Thank you for looking.

Hi, this is my effort for the My Time To Craft challenge 51.

I needed to make another thank you card following my son's second birthday and love this stamp.

I've used Die Cuts with a View Papers. Cuttlebug Thanks folder, Cuttlebug Bloom dots Folder and Jolly Nations Toddler Bowl stamp. I've used a clear Sakura glaze pen on the bowl.

I hope this is ok for the 'Hat' challenge. Thank you for looking.

Hello, this is my first ever attempt at a card challege. It is for this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge which is #50 Wine and Dine.

The daffodils have just come out in my garden this week and they have inspired me to go yellow.

I've used Die Cuts with a View papers and stickers and a penny black stamp from the Bubbly set.

Hi, I've been looking around at all the wonderful craft blogs and thought I would create one myself. I've also discovered some great sketch challenges and want to have a go - so where better to post than a blog page of my own. Now for some card making to have someting to post!
