Navy, Pink & Cake

Good Morning! 

Hope you are all well and not too cold. 

It's currently -2 here in the middle of the UK! 

Anyways, I'm here today to show you a card I've made for my cousin's birthday. 

I am going to add her age but I couldn't remember how old she is! Ooops! 

Turns out she's 13..... 

So, here's the card:

The colour scheme and layout have come from the inspiration pic and layout on Fusion Card - Link is HERE 

And the image is from Tiddly Inks. She is called "Cute as a Cupcake Girl" - Link is HERE

I can not remember the last time I used my Spectrum Noir pens but I did on this. I had forgotten how good they are! 

The spotted and chrevon papers are a digital download from etsy. 

Think I will die cut "13" out in pink and add it to lopsided spotty paper. 

  I'd like to enter this card in to the following challenges: 

1. Fusion - Use sketch and/or photo

2. Addicted to Stamps and More - Make your mark

3. Allsorts - Birthday wishes

Thanks for popping by! :) 

 

MTTC DT - Paper Piecing

Good Morning! 

Back this week with an awesome new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE.

The challenge is "Paper Piecing" I actually LOVE this technique! 

 

I've used a super cute Tiddly Inks image - Link to shop is HERE.

I thought I would use the check papers that I found at the bottom of the drawer for this card. I also wanted to paper piece her dress... it was less fiddly than the other images LOL! 

Her Skin and hair have been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. Sentiment printed off the PC. 

I hope you stop by the blog :)

MTTC DT - All White

Morning! 

Another Saturday can only mean another challenge over at My Time To Craft. 

This weeks challenge is "All White Except The Image".

I do like making white on white cards and went with a Tiddly Inks image for this one. Image is Wryn BFF - link is HERE.

The image has been coloured using promarkers and Copics. Mixing it up again ;) 

I wanted a CAS style card as to show off the image more. The backing is chevron embossed with the ribbon wrapped around it. I attached the bow with a brad too. The sentiment is printed off the pc and it reads "Our friendship is like a cup of tea, a special blend of you and me" No doubt my friend with nabb this! lol 

That's it from me this week... going to try and find something to do beens there's no football on :'( 

hehehe... 

MTTC DT - Domesticated Animals

Good Morning! 

I was MIA last week, I completely got mixed up in everything that was going on and forgot my card! 

But as it's Saturday it can only mean a new challenge over at My Time To Craft and this week its 

"Domesticated Animals"

This weeks card I've used a Tiddly Inks image. I do love these little dogs :) 

Went with white and lots of spots! One day I will attempt to colour these in other colours but for the time being I like them as white! LOL! Had to get some twine and a button in too. The "woof!" is die cut from the same purple spotty paper.

Please come stop by the blog and play along! 

Mom....

Morning! 

An early post for a change LOL! this morning I'm sharing with you my Mom's Mother's day card. 

I've used the colours of our favourite football team, Claret and Blue of Aston Villa FC. And every year we have the debate of... "Only Brummies say Mom!" I think it's true tho to be honest. Everyone else I know says "Mum" but hey, what's an O and U? They are all loved the same way :)

I've used a gorgeous little image by Tiddly Ink called Fairy Tenderhearted which can be found HERE. I've coloured her up using promarkers. It was so hard to do the hair! The cool aqua kept running out on me so had to do it in stages. I really do need to buy another one lol. The papers are from my stash along with the ribbon, button, twine and gems. The "Mom" is die cut from glitter card. 

The challenges I'd like to enter in to are: 

1. I Love Promarkers - Fantasy/Fairy Tales

2. Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

3. Crafty Gals Corner - Cute As A Button

4. Crafts 4 Eternity - Mums

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! 

My Time To Craft DT - Lace

Another Saturday... Another challenge over at MTTC.

This weeks challenge is 

"Lace" 

So use any kind of lace on your creations. 

I struggles with this. One - because I couldn't find any inspiration, Two - because I had the smallest piece of lace in my stash ever!! I think I've pulled it off though...

A CAS card from me this week.. in all fairness, what could I do with that tiny piece of lace?! LOL 

I've used a Tiddly Inks image called Sweet Tooth which can be found HERE and coloured her with spectrum noirs. I also coloured the gems in with the noir pens, they were silver. They don't take long to dry either to be fair. I did originally decide to make an ATC but thougth it would work quite well on this card. Gave me an excuse to use my wooden words too! 

Will be interesting seeing all your lace creations. Enjoy :) 

My Time To Craft DT - Bunting or Banners

Hello everyone! 

Hope the cold weather is not keeping you in doors so you just have to craft ;) 

I've had a week off work so of course I had to get on to the crafting space.

So, on to this weeks challenge at MTTC, which is 

"bunting or banners"

Brilliant! I've been waiting to use my new die, so I've used it on my cousin's birthday card along with the new digi from Tiddly Inks which is AMAZING!! 

I couldn't decide what to colour her in with so I used promarkers, copics and spectrum noirs. I must have been having an indecisive day LOL. The image as I said before is new from Tiddly Inks, she's called "Sweet Tooth" and can be found HERE. I downloaded the papers from an Etsy store. Perfect for the colours I wanted to use. The bunting is a new die I've had for a couple of months but never used. The "30" is also die cut too and of course, a few pearls to finish off. I'm very happy with the results. Here's a few more pics:

I hope you enjoy the challenge :)

Oiff to finish my Sister-in-Law's baby shower invites 

My Time To Craft DT - Charmed

Morning! 

A whole weekend off from work this weekend... eeeek! 

That only calls for one thing, lots of crafting! YAY! 

We have a new challenge over at MTTC this week, which is 

"Charmed" 

So use a charm on your card. I must admit, I struggle with these as I never know how to use a charm (as funny as it sounds) 

I wanted to keep the card quite clean and not knowing what the colour scheme was, I wanted to keep it neutral so went with all white. You can't really go wrong with all white can you. No buttons from me on this card but I did sneak the twine in. The flowers in the top right corner are die cuts along with the swirls. The image is from Tiddly Inks. The white cardstock is backed onto silver shimmer card too.

Have fun using your charms! 

Tiddly Inks.... Dog Days

Good Evening, hope everyone is indoors crafting and not out in that wind!

 This evenings post is for a DT call over at Tiddly Inks.

I love a cute lilly Tiddy Inks image specially when it's a doggy!

The image I've used is called Dog Days and you can find it HERE.

So, I wanted something a lilly different but still super cute. Here's what I came up with.. 

It's an A5 card with two cut out circles, two dogs and lots of bling! They did take a while to stick down but it was worth it. And the lilly girl it was for absolutely loved it. She's put it in a frame and up on her wall. Bless. The dogs and bone I cut round and 3D'd them so they were level with the white linen card. Every card I do, I have to add at least a button and/or ribbon or twine. I think it's a signature thing! lol.

Here's a few more pics of the details on the card

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes it with! :) 

Less is More - Use Twine or String

Wow! It's been a while since I updated this.. 

So first post up is the Less is More challenge of using Twine or String. I've used twine.

The image is from Tiddly Inks and has been coloured using Copics and promarkers. I tend to mix my mediums. 

Full Card

I must admit, at first I didn't get the "Less is More" idea but the more you make, the more you like it. I'm now in the process of making my Christmas cards this way :) 

Lighthouse

Off to crack on with some Christmas cards. Lovely! 

Vampires.....

 

They ain't as scary as they look! :)

 

Not this couple anyways... love this Tiddly Inks image, perfect for their challenge, mine falls under both. Plus it falls in to the challenge on the Crafty Catz blog too.

 

So as in the title, my theme is Vampires. I'm entering this post into 3 challenges:

 

1. Friday Sketch - Sketch #42

2. Tiddly Inks - Movie and/or Book theme

3. Crafty Catz - Inspired by a Song
4. 2 Sisters - Bingo Bash

 

 

So, my "movie/book" is of course Twilight and my song is "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles.

The sketch on Friday Sketch is fab. Will def be using this again.

 Off for some shut eye... zzzzzz

Just because....

... you're my Mom! 

Well, can say I'm pretty much chuffed with this. Took long enough to do with cutting all the laters out! 

The image itself is actually 3 different digi images from Tiddly Inks made into 1. It's for 

Mother's Day from a daughter. The daughter also has a little dog and I've tried to colour him the same as their dog. His a little rogue! So holding a balloon is very fitting. The images are also layered. Yes it took a looooooong time but I'm please with the outcome. 

Enough rambling.....

Full Card

I am entering this into numerous challenges, so please bare with me! 

1. Tiddly Inks - CAS

2. Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

3. Creative Inspirations - Mother's Day

4. Fab & Funky - Cute & Cuddly
