Sweet Stampin' DT card...

Good morning Saturday bloggers...well 2 sleeps to go and back to work. Before that though we have another challenge over at Sweet Stampin'...use the colours of your Nations flag.


This week we are sponsored by Letraset...and our monthly sponsor is Joanna Sheen..

Now I swithered about going with just the blue and white as in the colours of the Saltire but thought I was a bit limited so I have gone for the colours of the Union jack...red, white and blue.

The papers have been in my stash forever and are from Making Memories. I layered each of the layers onto red cardstock and added some stitching. All the die cuts are from various MFT die-namics dies...which I love!! The stamp is No. 1 Fan from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with promarkers....hope you likey!!

Back to work tomorrow....

Happy Sunday everybody...well I did intend to get more cards made this week whilst I have been on holiday but you know how it is when the schools are off....Holly had me traipsing all over and spending money. although she got bored and fed up once she had eveything she wanted!! Went shopping to Glasgow one day too....I thought it was bad enough shopping with Holly but my mother and Holly on the same day...love them both dearly but omg!! Holly likes to go to Primark, Repbulic, New Look and then you go to the other extreme...the Edinburgh Woollen Mill, which confused Holly as we were in Glasgow. What did I buy....roasting bags from Lakeland, that was me so I think a little bit of internet shopping may be in order later today.

So for my card I have followed the sketch over at A Gem of a challenge although I have tilted it round, I have used papers from Fancy Pants - Summers End, I have layered each of the papers onto bazill card and distressed the edges, the stamp is from Lili of the Valley which I have coloured with copics. I have cut out some felt flowers with my MFT flower trio die which has to be my most favourite die but then you may know that!! I added a ribbon and a bigger bow than I would normally use but I think it looks ok.

I hope to be back shortly with another creation.

Sugar Bowl Challenge #77

brrr....good morning sugar addicts, hope you are wrapped up warm and cosy!! It's Thursday today so I guess that means a new challenge over at The Sugar Bowl.

Today's challenge is Kiki's sketch below with the optional "love" theme.


Once again there's the usual prize from Funky Kits...4 Sugar Nellie stamps however if there's more than 100 entries then the prize increases to 6 stamps....woo hoo!!

For my card I have used papers from Little Yellow Bicycle - Love Letters collection. I doodled around the edges and layered the papers. The stamp is from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with polychromos. I added a couple of flowers and a matching tag. Pop over and check out the inspiration from the rest of the sweeties...

Thank You....

Well hi Bloggers and something a bit different from me...no characters!! As some of you know I hosted a SU party a couple of weeks ago and we did brilliantly and I managed to get quite a lot of hostess pounds...woo hoo!! This stamp is from one of the sets and I have to say I am so chuffed with it especially as it's not my normal kind of stamp but i am loving this little set, it's called Faith in Nature. I coloured the image with DI's and then edged the edged the card with DI too, then I ran it through the Bigshot in a dotty embossing folder, then scuffed some of the raised dots just to lift off some of the ink. I then layered it onto the papers from Jillybean Soup - Apple Cheddar, added a couple of buttons and the message,which is from the same set....hope you like!!

Remember to pop back tomorrow for the birthday celebrations at Sweet Stampin' and the Simply Sassy blog hop...so looks like you are going to be busy tomorrow!!
