Gingerman gift

Over at Jellypark we have a special month long Christmas themed challenge for you to play along with whenever you like throughout December.

Here is my creation using one of the fab new release's

I used the new gingerbread man digi stamp to add to a tag on my gingerbread mix gift jar made for the school Christmas fair - I hope whoever receives it likes it !

Here is the tag with a little space for a personal message and the gingerbread recipe printed on the reverse.

My gingerbread man is coloured with pro-markers with a little shading added with prisma pencils.

Believe :)

This weeks new challenge over at Stampin' for the weekend is an easy peasy one, especially with Christmas just around the corner, we want you to use some red - yep that's it ! Remember it does not have to be a Christmas project just as long as you use some red and, of course, some stamping !

Here is my card made with a super cute Saturated Canary image who is also our lovely sponsor this fortnight.

I coloured the fabulous image first with my pro-markers then added some shading with my prismas. The DP's are all from the Sherry K Christmas digi paper pack. The dress and the sentiment were both pieced onto the same Spotted DP - I just resized the print in word - another huge advantage of using digital papers :)

The snowflakes were diecut using my new (just couldn't resist them !) crafts too fresh snow snowflakes - I am so pleased with them they will def' feature on most, if not all, of my Christmas cards which I am only just starting on !!!

Feeling festive

The lovely studded border is from an old websters pages kit - I love it so much I haven't wanted to use it !!! I added a dark red chiffon ribbon and bow with a button, gem and a sentiment.

Vintage love

Hello I wanted to hop on here quickly and show you an Anniversary card I made for my sister and brother-in-law who celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary at the weekend. It will be a quick post (did you just sigh with relief ?!) as I have a poorly little boy laying on the sofa watching curious George ! So I'm gonna type quick before the medicine wears off !!

Ok so here it is

I used a sizzix embossing folder for the main background panel and highlighted the texture with a little bit of ink. The second piece of embossing is actually a debossed heart made using another, smaller, sizzix folder.

The ribbon, a chiffon with satin stripe, was white but I coloured it up with a pro-marker so it matched perfectly :) Oh I just noticed that there is more embossing on the heart locket (spellbinders) which is die cut then embossed onto foil engraving board then distressed to bring out the pattern in silver. The beautiful flower die cut is from a sheet that I purchased from my local craft store - I am sorry it does not have a brand printed on it :(

There are also aurora borealis gems, a sentiment, flower & button twine thrown in there too for good measure !

I was plesaed with the finished card until I found that I didn't have a larger envelope to accomodate the way I went over the edge of my card - PLEASE HELP if you have any tips or tricks regarding this problem - what envelope sizes do you use when you overlap the side of your card ? Do you make your own envies or boxes ? Please share any useful tutorial links too :) 

I would like to add my card to the following challenges;

The paper players - BINGO ( I used ribbon, embossing & banners)

Muse - Fabulous Monday muse this week - thanks for the inspiration x

Oldie but a goodie - BINGO ( I used ribbon, flowers & embossing) All my "ingredients" are more than 6 months old except the flower die cut x

The pink elephant challenge - Anniversary or wedding

Just inspirational challenges - BINGO (I used vintage, gems & flowers)

Fab n funky challenge - Ribbon

Whimsy stamps challenge - Vintage/shabby chic

I hope you have a super crafty day ;) x

Fancy fantasy

Today it is time for a new challenge over at Stampin' for the weekend and this time around the theme is one that all us girlies like it's fairies and fantasy.

Although I love fairies I have been hankering after a mermaid image for a while now and thought this would be a perfect excuse :)

Here is my card

The first thing to point out is that I printed the stamp onto pearlescent card, although it doesn't show on the photo, it looks great. I coloured that super sweet image, from Sylia Zet, first with my pro-markers then added a little more depth with my prisma & poly chromos. The tail is covered with stickles glitter and I added glossy accents to the bubbles. The background was then chalked blue - which also doesn't show well in the picture !

The papers are all digi from different kits I haven't listed them but if you see one that you particularly like just holler and I'll let you know :)

Here is an extra pic for you

Don't forget to hop on over to the SFTW challenge blog to check out all the fantastic DT inspiration and get all the details of the new challenge.

Lets get sentimental :)

Today is time for another fab new challenge over at Jellypark friends and this week we want to see you make your sentiment the main focus of your card

Here is my card made using one of the images from the baby sentiments set available at the jellypark store here

The set is amazing value you get 6 great baby themed sentiments for just £2.25 - here is a peek

I tried something different by adding some doodling around the edge of the sentiment with a white gel pen and a black fine liner - what do you think ?

So for the details - I used lots of die cuts - Spellbinders circles & scalloped circles and the corners are also spellbinders. The aqua scalloped border is bought die cut border from doodbebug. I also used 2 ribbons - teal satin and white chiffon topped of with a button and a websters pages sparkler.

A new style to revive a flagging mojo !

Ok well recently I have been having an issue with my favourite passtime - crafting ! My mojo has gone AWOL and that along with the lack of time and energy I have left at the end of the day after all the summer holiday shenanigans we've been up to has left me shattered and uninspired.

Last night I decided that enough was enough, it was time to do something about it ! So I turned to my favourite mojo jump starter - Pinterest :) The best way I have found to jump start that mojo is to try a new technique or style and one of the styles I love but never really mastered is shabby chic.

So to Pinterest I turned searching and pinning like a mad woman and a new board was created especially for cards and projects that sparked my imagination (you can find it here if you fancy a look see !)

My mum also brought me a magazine last week (Cardmaking & papercraft September issue - thanks mum xx) and it had some free stamps with it which this card made me think of, so I got them out and started experimenting with colours, DP's, ribbon, lace and embellishments, paint, glitter and distressers ! Much mess was made and I ended up covered in paint and glitter but also much fun was had and I woke up this morning wanting to craft :)

Here was the end result

Here is a close-up of the ribbon/flower detail

The flowers were brushed with white acrylic paint and then I added glamour dust for some sparkle - I also found out that it is really difficult to photograph lots of glitter - my camera just didn't want to focus on it - any tips anyone ?

I hope you like my attempt I'm not sure if it's a bit more shabby than chic (!!) but hey it fixed my poor tired mojo so its a hit with me !

I would like to add my card to the following challenges;

Craftroom challenge - Something new

A.R.T challenge - Ribbons & pearls

Happy campers challenge - Use a stamp

Paper pretties Wednesday challenge - Black, white & ? 

Whimsical designs challenge - Something old, something new (Old papers/pearls/flowers and new stamp) Good luck to Stephanie on her new adventures xx

Simply create too - Vintage

Card makin' Mama's - Black, white & 1 other colour

Thanks so much for visiting me today, leave a comment so I can pop by and visit you too xx

My fav colour combo on a Christmas card :)

It is time for another fabulous Jellypark challenge and this week our theme is 

"Things with wings"

I chose to use one of the new Christmas digi's called Xmas fairy. She is available to buy for just £1.25 here at the jellypark store or you could always get her in the bargain bundle below.

I coloured her with pro-markers and added some extra shading with my prisma pencils.

The DP's I used are not Christmas papers they are actually from the EP victoria gardens paper kit but I love the girly pinkness and pink & green has always been my fav colour combo !!

The sentiment is a clear stamp that I have had for absolutely ages and I don't even know the brand - sorry but if you are after some circular sentiments there is a great set available at the jellypark store here. It includes the new Christmas digi stamps (thats 6 digi images, including the one I used) and also 3 circular sentiments (exclusive to this set at the mo) the set is £10 or just £6 if you are a Jellypark club member.

Dancing fairy spotlight

It's spotlight time at Jellypark friends. And this time it's the lovely "Dancing fairy" that we are showing off !

You can find her in the Jellypark shop here.

And here is my card

I coloured her (skin & hair) with pro-markers and prisma's then I paper pieced her dress adding a little shading with the prisma pencils on that too. Her pretty wings were subtly coloured with prisma's and then I added diamond sparkles glitter - well every fairy needs a bit of bling !

The make a wish sentiment is from a digi kit - I just altered the colour, from black to lilac, in MS word. The tag was made from a strip of card and I used a circle die to shape the top and a Tim Holtz border die to shape the bottom. The little button is also a die cut (spellbinders I think !).

Our lovely sponsor, Saturated canary, very kindly gave us images to play with. I chose pigtails available here at the Saturated canary store.

I used paper from the Carina Gardner Affectionate digital kit and edged them with some gold EP.  The swirls on the image and butterflies were also embossed with gold. I added gold and white satin ribbon, in different widths, and added a bow & button threaded with pink button twine. 

The sentiment was created in MS Word & the swirl is die cut using the crafts too "swirly" die.
