SSDS DT card - Tag it

This is my second post today and I would like to show my DT card that I made for the Stamp,Scrap and Doodles Saturday challenge.

This week its Tag it! 

I used papers that I got free in a magazine and used them to make a small pocket on the front.

The image on my tag is Henry with Cupcake from Whiff of Joy.

When I found these cupcake buttons in my stash I thought that they would be perfect for this card.

I am entering this card into

Sophie's birthday



Here's a commissioned card I have just made for a friend of mine's daughter. As you can see she will be 9 next month and her name is Sophie. I hope I'm ok posting it, I dont think she will see it on here.
I followed Debbies sketch over at Cute Card Thursday challenge. As I was asked to include her name and age on the card, I decided to make an easel design.
The papers are from Papermania Summer Bloom pad.

I coloured Willow Dancing using Copics. This was the nearest I could get to blonde, as the little girl who this is for has lovely blonde hair and I wanted to make it look like her.

I used swirl die cuts and flowers to finish the front detail. 

For the base panel I used the same papers, stamped and embossed her name with Mothers Day Pink powder. I finished it with holographic pink peel off borders and pink pearls.

Here's a view from the side to show the Easel design.

I am going to enter this into these challenges:

Afternoon everyone, well that week has just flown by, can't believe its Friday already and the children break up from school today for a week off. Thats my piece and quiet out the window then. ;0)

Here's a card I made for this weeks Colour Create challenge - Chocolate,Strawberry and Cream, with the option of using ribbon. This instantly made my mouth water, thinking of lots of yummy cakes. Then I saw the inspiration picture and started to drool.

I followed Dawnys sketch on the LOTV challenge #84 and used one of their wonderful stamped images -Hello Cupcake. 

I coloured her with Copics and used a Nestibilities die to cut her out, mat and layer. The sentiment and banner are from Whimsy Stamps. The papers are from a Papermania pad.

I finished off with red satin ribbon and red pearls.

Love....Sugar Nellie

This is my card for The Sugar Bowl challenge #52. This week its a sketch by Marie Therese with the optional theme - Love.

I chose papers from K and Co in lemon and green so that I can also enter it into the Colour Create Challenge #63 who want to see cards made using, you've guessed it, lemon, green and white.

I chose this beautiful image from Sugar Nellie's Adorable range, as I am totally in love with them, I can't stop colouring them, they are just so gorgeous. I used Copics and had a play with my new Prisma pencils.

Therefore I will enter it into Totally Gorjuss challenge # 65 - As you like it.

I finished off by embellishing with punched out swirls and a couple of different style flowers. This means I can enter it into the Crafty catz weekly challenge - flowers.

Pretty in pink

 I made this card to enter into the Anyone for Anya challenge, this weeks is Pretty Bows.

I used a very pretty K & Co paper along with some plain blue card.

I stamped this pretty image and coloured with Copics, then cut her out with a oval nestie leaving her legs sitting out the shape.

I added a satin pink ribbon and bow, a sentiment from LOTV- Circular sentiments and 3 Prima flowers with gem centres.

I am also entering this into Colour Create Challenge #62 as the colours this week are -Pink, blue, white and grey with optional flowers and gems.

Snow globe card

Here's my card for the Cupcake Challenge - 65 -Snow much fun.
I think I over did the snow abit, what with the papers, snow globe, die cut and punched snowflakes and snowflake border, not forgetting the snowflake embellishment and charm.

This easel style is my new favourite and there will be alot more to come.
I used patterned card to make the base, from a range called Patchwork Pals, I got it from QVC. I layered paper with all different snowy sentiments on blue pearl and punched a snowflake border - Fiskars border punch.

I stamped the empty snow globe on to acetate ( not sure of the make) and stamped a small snowman, from Crafters Companion Christmas stamps by Jayne Nestorenko, inside. I glittered the image and added glitter snow.Unfortunately this doesn't show up very well in my photos. The acetate was attached to the card front with star brads

I die cut and punched the large snowflake embellishment and attached the charm with a blue gem brad, this was attached to the sentiment tag, (Papermania stamp).
I am going to enter it in to the following challenges as well;
Colour Create- 31 blue, silver and white.
Lili of the Valley- Recipe - 3 papers, 2 stamps and 1 type of embellishment

A card for my friends mum...

I have just finished this card, a friend has asked me to make her a birthday card for her to give to her mum. As its got blue and green on it, and lots of paper piecing, I thought I'd enter it in this weeks Colour Create #15, as I'm not going to get chance to enter many ( if any )challenges this week. She asked for a boxed card, and to include turquoise blue and flowers. I used a couple of my glitter girls boards, white and coloured card, computer generated text and silver peel-offs. Thats it, no stamped images or patterned paper or fancy embellishments. Hope she likes it! Me thinks I'll make a couple of others, just in case.

Combination challenge card

As I spent all day making my stationary box, I have had to combine alot of challenges, here go's.....

1st- Sketch Saturday #49. Debbie's DT Week (I followed Debbies sketch, but adapted slightly. Hope you don't mind Debbie)

2nd- Colour Create #14. Red, Cream and Chocolate (I used lots of red and cream, not much chocolate, sorry I'm trying to cut out the calories. lol :-) I did add the optional ribbon though.)

3rd- Penny Black Saturday Challenge #47. Shapes x3. (I think I covered this one, circles, scalloped border, hearts, flowers and a bow. I used a couple of PB stamps together, I think it creates a cute image. I watercoloured and highlighted all the heart bubbles with clear glaze.)

4th- Cute Card Thursday #58 Mirror Mirror. (I used loads of mirror board, a hologram heart peeloff and a gold heart charm.)

5th- Papertake Weekly - Spots and Stripes. (I know I'm pushing it with this one, but my paper has got spots and stripes on.)
