Jasmine Texting

 Hello! 

It's been a while since I've played along with any challenges but thought I'd enter a few. 

You know when you have that card to make for a difficult teenager that's never off their phone... 

Well, there's a perfect image for this!

It's by Lili of the Valley and is called Jasmine Phone - Link is HERE

The papers I've used are a download from Etsy from HuckleberryHearts - Link is HERE

Wanted to make the card girly as well as bright and bold. All three papers are out of the download paper pack. I love how they complement each other. 

The image I've coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. The paperclips are from IKEA. I love them! I love how they add more detail to the card. The three roses are made out of foam. And I've also added spiral staimen. These I've been looking for for like forever! I finally found them!! YAY! 

I will be selling these from my Etsy shop once I've listed them if anyone is interested. 

Here's a few close ups of the details and a shot that shows layers....

 Thanks for popping by. 

I hope you like my creation :) 

I'm entering the following challenges with my creation: 

1) Lili of the Valley FB - Feature A Female

2)   Crafty Catz - Anything Goes with an optional twist 

3) Addicted To Stamps - Make your Mark 

MTTC DT - Girlie

Morning! 

What a horrible wet day! 

Bad day for me today, I have to go and buy a new die cutting machine as my other one broke! 

This is the second one I've had in two years and they've both broken with the same fault :( 

Anyways, on to a new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This challenge we want to see "Girlie" - doesn't have to be pink!! 

Although, I've gone with pink only 'cos it was on the order ;) 

I've used a super cute Lili Of The Valley square topper card.

The papers are a digital download from Etsy. I do love a spotty paper! 

Added some glittery washi tape, gems, buttons, bows and "Abby" is die cut along with the "1" on the pram. 

No colouring involved in this creation! 

I hope you all play along with the challenge. 

I'm off to buy a new machine! *insert crying face*

Enjoy! 

My Time To Craft - BABY

Hello... it's been a while since I've been in blog land. That doesn't mean to say I've stopped making.. I don't even think that's possible?! 

First post of the day, I'm quite late posting this but wanted to share this card. 

Just so happens that My Time To Craft's challenge this week is

"BABY" 

.... perfect. Here's my card.. It's for Twins!

Image is by Lili of the Valley and is coloured in promarkers. I had to run the image through the scanner to get the names on the scales tho. Pearls and Ribbon added as always. The hearts and feet are both punched out. Sentiment is also stamped.

That's post one done :) 

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Hello everyone.. 

I seem to hit n miss with my posting. Had quite a few busy weeks. Lot's of new die's so have been cutting them all out. In between I did manage to make a few cards (this being one of them). Luckily for me, I made this card which fits perfectly in with the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, which is:

"This week's challenge is a…

“Not Just An ORDINARY Card!”

For this weeks challenge you will create a card that is out of the ordinary and not traditional!  No FLAT cards allowed!  This week's card should pop-up, stand up, turn into a box, slide, twist, etc...!  Oh…and don’t forget to stamp!  After all, we don’t call this STAMPtacular for nothing!"  

 So my card is as follows: 

It's a stepper card with the image over the left. Image is by Lili of the Valley and is coloured using pro markers. Trees are my new die's, cut out of white shimmer card. Flowers, Bow, pearls and glittery twizzly spirals. I had lots of fun making them! Although the glitter went everywhere!! 

Anyone wondering about the background... I run the card through the printer so the background is printed straight onto the card itself. Saves faffing around.

A few pics of the details.

 Enough jabbering... 

The Sweet Stop - SSS169

Struggled a bit with this sketch to be honest, but now that I have made my card, 

 I've got lots of ideas! always the way lol.. large images do work better with this I found.

The card I've made is being entered into The Sweet Stop SSS169 challenge.

So here is my card :

The flower is punched, swirls are die-cut. The image is by Lili of the Valley (LOTV) and has been coloured using, as ever, promarkers. The sentiment reads "especially for you" You can just about make it out in the picture, my poor lighting! lol.

Baby Cards

So a few Baby cards on the agenda today.. must say, everytime I make a baby card, the Lili of the Valley stamps come out to play. I absolutely LOVE them! So the baby cards were for a boy and a girl, Nephew and Niece. Really struggled to start with because I couldn't decide on papers and layouts but finally came up with these...

So the Baby Boy card first.

Image is by Lili of the Valley and is called - Little Ducky

The layout is pretty simple but effective. To tie in with the one challenge I am entering, I have made my own sentiment on both cards. But it's "anything goes" for the other challenge.

Baby Girl card second.

Image is by Lili of the Valley - All Our Dreams

Again a simple layout and very girly! Same as above with the sentiment.

Font used is called "Segoe Script"

On both cards, I have used a ribbon, a bow and card candi.

So the 2 challenges I am entering this post into are:

Papertake Weekly - Make Your Own

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Sweet Stop Sketch - SSS165

Great sketch from Sweet Stop Sketch this week, it really did get the mind working! 

I had an order in for a birthday card with the theme of Cupcakes & Girly but no too girly... what better stamp to use than a Lili of the Valley "Never To Old For Cupcake!" 

So here is the card:

 

The papers are super shimmery! I even stamped the image onto shimmery card, much to my excitment, it stamped fine! 

Here's a close up of the image:

Thanks for popping by :)

Baby Shower Invites

I made 30 of these lil bad bhoys! Image is from Lili of the Valley and I have to say... It's a beauty!! 

A couple of invites

 The lady who ordered them, doesn't know what sex the baby is.. so hence the green & lemon.. they turned out pretty well if I'm honest :) I pleased with them anyways.

Just one card

Close up of image

The image has been coloured using promarkers. The green of the sling and baby grow are different greens but it doesn't show on the picture :)

Baby's 1st Birthday

Had an order for a Baby's 1st Birthday to do in a Aston Villa themed card... well, being a 1st birthday I didn't want to do an Aston Villa card as I thought it would be too old. So used the colours instead.. 

That's actually a pretty bad picture.. Here's another one but maybe that's a bit too dark! hahaha 

Going to enter this into the Lili's Little Fairies - Oh Boy

It's a bit late but better to be late then never! LOL

Abigail

So it's the Lil Cousin's birthday next month and as I have to make a few cards, thought I would make a start. Funnily enough, the image is JUST like Abigail! hahaa.... 

Entering the card into a few challenges too. So without further ado, here's the card....

And the challenge's I'm entering my card into:

Papertake Weekly - Buttons, Bows, Blings & Blooms

One stop Craft - On the spot & ribbon

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #190

Lili's Little Fairies - Your favourite LOTV stamp

Very girly but she is like a fairy on a rock cake sometimes! LOL! Have stitched the edges together too. Gone a bit mad with the stitching again! It's getting straighter too. 

Close up of the detail :

Image has been coloured using pro markers and yet again..... more punched butterflies!! 

Thanks for popping by :)
