Penny Black Saturday Challenge - CASE IT

Hello everyone,

I can't believe I'm doing yet another post onto my blog. It's only 3 months ago that I couldn't download a photograph from my camera onto the computer! I know I've still got alot to learn so if you have any useful hints or tips, I'd be really happy to hear from you!

I've made this card to enter the Penny Black Saturday Challenge week 183 - CASE IT.  I haven't built up a collection of rubber stamps yet so the image on this card is a penny black stickeroo. I put it on white card and cut it out, then used foam pads to give it a bit of depth.

The red dotty paper and dark blue striped paper are both from Craft Creations. I used an x-cut die for the star shapes and a lit bit of card candy to finish with.

I will have to invest in some more rubber stamps because I really love this little hedgehog!

Hello,

Lili of the Valley have some fantastic Candy up for grabs. They have 12 stamps to give away to one lucky winner. I have tried to put a link to their site on my sidebar, I think it works OK - hope so!

Happy New Year to all. This is my first post since the 29th December. I came down with a horrible virus on New Year's Eve and still don't feel great. Making cards usually makes me feel better, but this one has taken some doing!! I need to lie down now!

As I'm new to rubber stamping, I don't actually own very many stamps so I have used a Lili of the Valley die cut image for this card. I cut it out and used 3D foam to give it a bit of depth. (Not that you can tell from the photo!). The paper is 'Pink Large Flowers' from Craft Creations. And the daisies are Anita's peel off stickers on white card, with a bit of bling added on.



I'd like to enter this card into

That's all for now

Crafters Companion Challenge

I would like to enter this card into the Crafters Companion Challenge No 19 - New Beginnings.

The rubber stamp is by s.w.a.l.k from Crafters Companion and I have coloured it with Promarkers.  I love the characters that s.w.a.l.k. have created and they are so versatile.  The purple paper is one of my favourites from Craft Creations. I finished the card with a few purple pearls and some ribbon.

I have promised myself a nice tidy house for the new year, so I really should go and make a start. . . . there again, I really do need a lot more practise at colouring!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This weeks Penny Black Saturday Challenge is to make 'A Tag'

The rubber stamp is from Penny Black and this cute little hedgehog is called 'gift hedgy'. I have coloured it in using promarker pens. The gorgeous swirly red paper is from Craft Creations and the die cut ponsettia was made using a marianne creatable die. I have just added some holly leaves, a piece of ribbon and a bit of bling!

Well, it's nearly Christmas, and I still have food to buy, presents to wrap and a house to tidy before the big day. I have two young very excited children who can't wait. I'd better go and get some work done!!

Happy Christmas everyone!

LOTV Challenge : Pink, white & silver

I would like to enter this card into the Lili of the Valley Challenge this week. I have been following this blog for ages but never actually entered. How sad that it is the last one, I have loved looking at all the entries, there are always some fabulous cards.

The gorgeous rubber stamp is 'Twinkling Star' from LOTV as is the sentiment stamp. I used promarkers to colour the image and added a die cut snowflake, some silver stars and gems.The papers are from my stash and I think they are papermania.

This week's challenge is 'white out', and I would like to enter this card. I've only just started using rubber stamps so my colouring isn't great! The stamp is called 'Royal Mail' and I think that the hedgehog is ever so cute! I covered the post box with glossy accents in the hope it would hide my colouring mistakes!

Craft Creations Competition

I'm absolutely chuffed to bits - I've just found out that I've won a runner up prize in the latest Craft Creations Competition. I love their classic decoupage papers, I used the singing snowmen for this card.

This is the first time I've put anything onto a blog - sorry for the poor photo!
