For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsThank you
Well after I had finished all my household chores, it was very late in the evening when managed to sit down and play with my Stampin' Up! kit.One of my favourite colours from Stampin' Up! is Chocolate chip so I based my card around that and also looked at the Sketch Saturday for an idea. I used Seeing Spots stamp set for the sentiment and Fun and Fast notes for the image using my nesties to cut them out on white whisper card stock. The image was then coloured in using Stampin' Up! pastels. I...
Yipee!!!!
I'm so excited as my demonstrsator's kit from Stampin Up! arrived this week. I've been willing the weekend to come along so I can have a good old play with it.But I'm in a quandary as to which stamp set to play with first...LOL
Magonila Down under challange
Here's what I have come up for this weeks Magnolia Downunder Challange. The challange this week was to "bling" Tilda/Edwin up. I've used Cotton Candy stickles on Tilda's Underskirt, belt and head band. Added gems to ribbon and as the button on her dress. I also used glittler card stock and stardust gel pens on the sentiment.
New reciepe……….
Over on Cute Card Thursday this week #52 they gave you a reciepe to make a card which was :~Take some thing ripped;2 papers and4 emblishmentsThis is what I cooked up using my newly acquired Penny Black stamp (watercoloured), Papermaina papers, 2 brads, length of ribbon and a gem.
Keep in touch
Keep in Touch is another stamp set from Stampin Up, which I purchase off a crafting friend. I decided that I would ink it up for the Sketch saturday challange #43 and would use the rectangluar shape of the stamp to make the cards shape.This stamp is from the Classic Caption Set and is stamped on cream cardstock with vintage sepia mounted on french roast coordinations card and the papers are from K&company.
Stampin Up
My Secret Sister (Christine) over on the Shack sent me this set of Stamps in her reveal package. This is my first creation using Stampin Up products, but it won't be me last as I have recently signed up to be an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin up. I'm just waiting for my demo kit to arrive so I can get really started.This stamp set is called " Delight in Life" which I have stamped in Vintage Sepia and watercoloured to match cardstock from my stash.

Edwin at Easter
No challanges today, apart from my own and that was to take my Edwin with his mushrooms and give him an Easter egg to carry.It was tricky but I got there in the end. I used paper peicing on his jumper, trousers, shoes and then manged to slip an egg in his jumper, all bits from my own stash along with the backing papers. The green card is leapfrog from the co-ordinations range.
Mojo Monday on Thursday……….LOL
Mojo Monday challange my mojo finally kicked in with this challange this afternoon, as I was tidying up my craft area. I came across these papers that went with the Tilda I had in mind, they are from K&Company. The ribbon and plain card stock was from my stash, to add the finishing touch I added a pink tearose. I have left the bottom righthand corner for a sentiment to be added later.
Friday Sketchers
I'm just trying to catch up on my challanges here is my Friday Sketchers challange . For this sketch I used my new Stamposaurus stamp that I got at the NEC. I've used Hazy Grey Fun flock for the little ellie, then water coloured the rest and added a few primas and stickles. I think he's so adorable!!
Truly Scrumptious Challange 3
Sue( Artyfarty) suggested that I do this challange to do one of the Easter cards I was asked to make, so I went off and made up 2 cards in the end. One for easter and the other one for mothers day......or I'd be in big trouble.Both cards are made using basic grey papers, ribbons where from my stash and the Images are RAK's from Sue (penny black )and Linda (Tilda) Thankyou ladies for your kindness.
Sketch and Stash challange #6
Heres my creation for the sketch and stash challange #6. I decided to incorparate it with the batch of Easter cards that I have been asked to make for a friends grandchildren. For this one I have used my new Tilda with her bunny stamp, coloured her in watercolours then mounted her on oval nesties. The background papers are all from the Sugared Basic Grey collection and I've emblished it using some prima flowers and gems.
