Happy birthday with Scarlet's letter

Scarlet's letter was one of the Basic Grey papers I bought and I loved it and it is still one of my favourites - glad I still have some left from long ago. I've used it to create the punched circular background using a We R Memory Keepers mini 8 loops punch, matting on to a black card blank. The large flower is Papermania and the black organza layered flower with all the pearls in the centre was from Flourish with a bling - I chose some of these as part of a prize I won with the voucher to spend there.

The glittered sentiment tag isn't crooked, it's the look of the photo.

Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 45: anything goes

This is my design card for today's Fan-tastic Tuesday 45 - please click the link and see the lovely crafting of the team and join in the fun.

For my card I used a digital image kindly supplied by the sponsor, Sparkle n Sprinkle - 'Eve's sunflower', which I coloured with spectrum noirs.

The three die cuts were all created with Spellbinder's 'marvellous squares', using scraps that I've had for ages. Another piece matching the middle die was used for the background - can't remember where this came from - it was about time it was used. The flowers down the side were with a magazine, felt buttons from Poundland and sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Cheerful stamp pad 91: for a man

It's time for a new challenge on the Cheerful stamp pad and for challenge 91 we're asking to see creations 'for a man'. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and we would love it if you join in with your own designs.

My design card is clean and simple made with a print out from a google map which I then ran through the printer again to add the Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet 'BSA bike' by Sentimental Susan (our sponsor).I then added the computer generated sentiment mounted on a scrap of blue card.

Pink and silver birthday

The striped glittered card is from my offcuts box and the middle panel is upcycled from a card received long ago (too good to get rid of). The pink bead fronds were another bargain buy from Hobbycraft, the pink bow edged with silver was rescued from somewhere, but I can't remember where, so it is upcycled and the butterflies and flowers are mini glitter embellishments from Poundland. The inside of the card was created with an offcut of Hunkydory pink card with silver foiling - I cut the edge with the Happy Birthday Martha Stewart punch.

Some of the silver looks black rather than silver in the photos because I was trying to avoid glare.

Difficult to see the Happy Birthday, so here is a close up, but looks much better in real life because of the silver foiling on the pink that looks black here.

Wedding or anniversary

A few weeks ago I had to make a trip to Hobbycraft, Orpington to get something and I had a look at their sale items. I bought some packs of votive wraps, designed to go round candles for weddings. I've used a couple of the pearlescent ivory heart ones on these two simple cards, cutting off the ends that are supposed to join the wrap around the candle and mounting them on to gold mirror card. The wrap itself has a lovely subtle golden sheen. The pack of the wraps was £1.50 for 20 - bargain!

The gold mirror behind the filigree panels was taken from my offcuts - you can see that one card has a wider band than the other (according to what offcuts I could find).

The Kanban ivory DL cards with the gold foiling around the edges were another bargain as they were £1 for 10 - they are very elegant and expensive looking.

These cards can have appropriate inserts put in for either wedding day or anniversary.

The glory of Christmas challenge 38: sketch

For today's Glory of Christmas challenge 38 we are asking you to make something following this sketch:

This is my interpretation of it, using the lovely Penny Black caroling penguins stamp inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir pens. The red paper is Graphic 45 Christmas past collection 'glad tidings' and the other paper is offcuts from My Mind's Eye Glitterbook 12 x 12 papers (I love these and will be really sorry when they have all gone - thankfully, I keep finding pieces!). The sentiment was computer generated and printed.

Up, up and away ...

... on a hot summer's day.

I made this card a few weeks ago using digital papers and items from Funky Hand's 'Colour me happy' and 'Happy happy birthday', tearing round perspex oval templates for the image and matting. I added two different strips of Tim Holtz tissue tape either side of a piece of ribbon. With the addition of the black gems and the sentiment the card was finished.

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 38

Once again this challenge for Suzy Bee's Bloomin' 38 is 'anything goes' - please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in the challenge.

For my design card I've used a digital image kindly supplied by the sponsor, Sparkle n sprinkle Vivian hat lady. I digitally changed the outline of the image to antique, printed out and coloured with spectrum noirs. I tore around a perspex oval template and edged with one of the spectrums. The flowers are from Hobbycraft. The background papers were taken from a beautiful Vintage style graphics book that I bought from Poundland - there are so many beautiful patterns in it and the bonus is that there is a CD included so that they can be printed out without spoiling the book - well worth a £1 - a bargain find a few weeks ago.

CHNC challenge 186: layer it up

This week's CHNC challenge 186 is 'layer it up' - more than one layer on your Christmas creation - easy, peasy! It's very hot in this part of the UK atm, so I think we need something easy to craft ... and a further opportunity to build up the supply of Christmas cards - of course, you might not have started your Christmas cards to do so - perhaps I can tempt you with this challenge.

For my card I've used an offcut upcycled from a Christmas gift pad (the card with text on), some offcut pieces of My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas and some more of those stickers that were used last week - while supplies were out on my worktop I decided to make a few similar cards, so, yes, you did see one a bit like this for last week's challenge (and, watch this space, because there'll be a similar one for next week's challenge):

Sweet pea stampers: fairies

Today sees the start of the Sweet Pea stampers 'fairies' challenge - please click the link to see the beautiful designs of the rest of the team and join in our challenge.

For my design card I've used 'peachy pink fairy' digi by Ching Chou Kuik colouring with spectrum noir pens., with Art Institute glitter with quickie glue pen on to the wings. This was cut out with a deckle edged nestie die and brushes on the edges with tattered rose distress ink.The background papers are unknown pieces from my offcuts box and the panel behind the image was made by a mask and acrylic paint with my gelli plate on to a piece of light pink spotty paper. Difficult on the photo to see what the sentiment panel says: With love on your Birthday.

Anyone for cricket?

Now that summer's here!

The theme for Crafting Musketeers challenge 15 is 'summertime'. The challenge started with inspiration designs from team A and now it is the turn of team B to show some mid-month inspiration - please click here to have a look. To enter the challenge please click here.

I've used a cricket theme as a representation of British summertime (as long as the weather is fine! Although I have to admit that I am not really into watching cricket).

The background is Kanban green grass. I added some 3D stickers that I've had for ages and a picture of cricket gear that I found on the internet. The sentiments were generated on my Dymo Letratag.

CCAYR mid-month inspiration

Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of other members of the team and click here to join in with your own creations.

For my card I've used the same image as I used for my CHNC challenge 184, where I said that I hoped to add one with some zentangle. Well, I didn't manage to show it that week, but here it is now ... my faltering attempt to do some zentangle. The original image is Robyn's Fetish gilded Christmas dove  (click the link to see what it looked like before I did some zentangle). I coloured with spectrum noir pens.

All papers are from the double sided Echo Park winter wishes, all apart from the main background are from scraps and a piece of torn washi tape added. The tag is one left over from last Christmas - much more silvery in real life.

Fan-tastic Tuesday 44: anything goes

This is my design card for Fan-tastic 44: anything goes - I used Bugaboo Stamps 'rainy day bears 'rain rain' coloured digitally in Microsoft Paint. (Bugaboo Stamps are the sponsors for this challenge).I tore round an oval perspex and edged with a matching spectrum noir. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the team and we'd love you to join in our challenge.

The background is actually Christmas paper (I'd been using some for a Christmas card that will be shown next Sunday and I had this offcut ready on the work surface and it seemed to go so well with the image that I thought, 'Why not use it?' - it's from a 12 x 12 piece of Graphic 45 Christmas past collection 'glad tidings'.

The background paper is from a magazine freebie as is the piece that has been mounted behind the image - both were torn around perspex oval templates. The little ho ho ho have been in my Christmas stash for a long time, as has the sentiment. The card across the bottom is Hunkydory. The image was coloured with spectrum noir pens.
