For a footie fan

I was asked to make a simple card for a football fan. The paper is from the Paper Cellar 'men 2' pad and photos are from a bundle I bought yonks ago! As it will be father's day in the UK on Sunday, there are lots of challenges asking for cards for the occasion or general masculine ones. Sadly, my dad died over 10 years ago, so I no longer make a father's day card, but I had some requests recently for male cards, so this is the first of a bunch! I know that quite a lot of crafters don't particularly like making masculine cards, but I do.

It's time for Cheerful stamp pad challenge 88: fruits and veggies. Please click on the link to see the delicious designs of the rest of the team - and please join in our challenge, which is being sponsored by Stitchy Bears Digi Outlet.

For my design card I've used the lovely Scrapper's Delights 'fruity babies strawberry' on the Stitchy Bear site, kindly supplied by the sponsor, adding the sentiment digitally and colouring the image with spectrum noir pens, mounting on to mirror card. The background paper is K & Co Berry sweet (I chose it because it had strawberries on it, but I've covered so much of the paper that you can't actually see any of the strawberries - lol!). Sparkly ribbon and lace from stash.

The background paper is Forever Friends 'a Christmas tale' and the two red panels with glittered swirls are the remaining pieces that were saved from Christmas crackers three or four years ago - these have been lurking in my Christmas offcuts box. The stamp, Penny Black 'chill day' was inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir, then the image mounted on to Creata mirror card, with the foiled 'ho ho ho' added.

The sweet pea stampers photo inspiration challenge

It's time for a new challenge on the Sweet pea stampers and this time we have a photo inspiration. Please click on the link to see the wonderful inspiration from others in the team - and please join in with your own creations inspired by the photograph:

For my design creation I took the photo as the basis for a postcard on to which I stuck a cut out picture I had created by colouring and glittering the lovely 'peace fairie' digi by Karen Middleton. The lovely photo we were given as inspiration 'spoke peace' to me, hence using that particular image and also the DCWV chipboard word pieces which have been in my stash for a long time waiting for the opportunity to be used.

Wedding Day blessing

This is a card for a friend who is getting married on Saturday.

The shaped mat that I've used was cut from a shaped card and mounted on to a plain card blank. I printed the scripture verse on to it. I swiped the sentiment with a spectrum noir (doesn't show up very well here) and added some Hobbycraft flowers.

CCAYR June challenge: Christmas angels

As it's 1 June, it's time for a new monthly challenge on Christmas cards all year round and today it's all about Christmas angels. Please click on the challenge link to see the lovely designs of others in the team and please get out those Christmas angels supplies and join in. If you do so before next Saturday evening, you could also link your card to the Glory of Christmas challenge 34 where the theme is also 'angels'.

My first design card I printed out the sheet music for Hark! The herald angels sing, stamped with one of my favourite angel stamps inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail gold powder - unfortunately, the photo doesn't show the shine of the embossing. I kept the card simple by just adding the piece of organza ribbon with gems (from Hobbycraft).

I have to confess that I'm cutting corners today with this card because the challenge for today's Christmas Card Club chosen by Sue J is 'nativity scene'. I had been hoping to get a separate card done, but time has defeated me and rather than not submit a card today, I'm adding this one and hope I will be forgiven.

CHNC challenge extra for June

Can you believe that it's June already - that means that by the end of this month we will be halfway through the year and certainly nearer to Christmas 2014 than 2013 - a scary thought. Which is why it makes sense to get on with the Christmas crafting before any panic sets in. It's good making Christmas cards when there is no pressure. If you haven't yet started, why not hop on over to CHNC challenge extra for June and join in. If you click on the link you'll see the lovely creations of the rest of the team.

This is my design card. Every month the challenges are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and I've used an image that they kindly supplied as well as some of their digital papers. The image I've used is winter trio which I coloured with spectrum noir pens.

CHNC challenge 179: 3 of something

For my CHNC challenge 179 this week I'm asking to see 3 of something. If you haven't started your Christmas cards yet this year, it might be a good idea to think about joining in and get ahead of the 'panic season'. I'd love to see you there.

For my card I've used a Hunkydory background and some vellum and card panels that I've had for ages. The vellum is white with gold foiling, which, unfortunately, doesn't really show up in this flash photo (will try and replace with a better one taken in daylight). The flowers were from Hobbycraft.

Guest designer for Lexi challenge 117: birthdays

I'm privileged to join Lexi's creations challenge 117 today as a guest winner of a previous challenge. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the team and join in the challenge.

The background of this card was made with my gelli plate, acrylic paint and a stencil, over an offcut piece of paper lurking in my scraps box. Another offcut down the side (Hunkydory) with Hobbycraft ribbon with gems. The butterflies image was kindly supplied by Lexi - I coloured with spectrum noir pens and cut out with Spellbinder's 'marvellous squares' die, cutting out a piece of green background paper with the next die in the set. Once again, the paper was from my scraps box. Glittered flowers and sentiment from stash.

Scrapping4fun Jan - April winners challenge

As the winner of Scrapping4fun challenge 15 I was invited to take part in the Jan - April winners challenge.

I would appreciate it if you would click on the link and vote for me (if you like my contribution, of course):

This is the information given on Sceapping4fun:

'as you all know, all the Winner's from January up to April, participated in "The Winner's Challenge" for the Award Prize. They all received a sketch and they had the choice to do whatever they wanted.
The sketch was a Card Sketch and some ladies created a layout.

We are going to vote for all of them and this is where all our followers can help.

All the Winner Ladies will have a "NUMBER" with their own "NAME".

example: 00-Rachelle
You can cast your vote in the comment area for the Creation you like most. Do it by writing in the COMMENT area, example: (00-Rachelle).

You can vote on Scrapping4funChallenges Blog and on S4fC Facebook.
You can vote for more than one Creation but only once for a person.

Voting will close on Monday the 9th of June @ 23:55pm European Time.
Please be aware of the time zone differences - on the top left you will find the Date and Clock on the Blog.

We were given this sketch to work with:'

My card has been created using Basic Grey 'sugared' papers and stickers, as well as using a Dawn Bibby heart stamp and freehand drawn stitching. I used an 8" x 8" card blank to give plenty of room to be able to use the sentiment which I think is just right for a card to celebrate the birth of a baby girl. I inked all edges with a mix of antique linen and brushed corduroy distress inks.

The same but different

Three Christmas cards that have been made from almost the same supplies, but they are all slightly different. This is a scheduled post as today is our Wedding Anniversary and we are enjoying time away. I made these in advance for Sarn's Rudolph Day - she asks for two Christmas cards in the same blogpost ... I've included an extra too.

Papers are all Kaisercraft and the pictures are from a LOTV art pad set 18 winter wonderland, each one torn around a perspex oval. The sentiments are odd ones that I've accumulated (have a mixed bag of them).
