Sweet Birthday Wishes

Hello there,

Happy Saturday - I hope you've had a sweet week!

I'm back today with a new challenge from Sweet Stampin and this week I found the challenge quite....well....challenging! Our theme this week is "embossing"....and as some of you know I'm really not a fan! I'm not keen on dry or wet embossing...no particular reason...I just don't like it!

However, I'm a big girl....so when I saw the theme I took a deep breath and looked through my craft stash for some inspiration. To make it a bit easier I opted for a Birthday card and to sweeten it a little more I thought I should feature some cake.....

I've gone with a bright zingy colour combo, using the strong green plain paper with striped and starred patterned papers. My dry embossing was created using my Cuttlebug - I embossed the present and then used a light grey Promarker to add a little more definition.

Finally I added a stamped cake image, which has been coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a little sparkle with my Stickles.

Pants!

Hello there!

I hope you are keeping well....and if you're in the UK I hope you haven't been blown away by the crazy weather we've had this week!

Now, I'm here to tell you all about the new challenge we have this week over at Sweet Stampin and I'm quite excited about this one as it's one of my favourite topics (well after afternoon tea, cupcakes and teacups!) ...yes, it's Christmas.....

Hee, hee....now when I saw this image and sentiment I knew I had to have it in my collection! I've kept the card quite simple in the back ground, letting the over sized sentiment and pants do the talking! My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and is attached to the card with 3D sticky pads to give the card some dimension.

Gifts Galore

Hello there,

Happy Hump Day! The weekend is in sight! Woo hoo!

Today we have a fab new challenge for you over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin, our theme this month is "gifts galore" and the DT have been given a fabulous digi image to play with. Thank you All Dressed Up for the fab image!

Isn't it a cute image?

I also love the contemporary blue and red snowflake paper and have used this as inspiration for my colour scheme of red and blue. I've coloured my image with my trusty Promarkers and have added a little sparkle to my tree with my Stickles.

And what do you see under my tree...my pile of gifts...gifts galore!

Bingo!

Hello there!

I hope you are well and have had a lovely week! Mine has been wonderful  as I have been on annual leave with Joe. We haven't gone away this year, but we have relaxed a lot and made our little garden is a little bit more beautiful with a new bed of plants and a small BBQ area!

Today at Sweet Stampin we have a lovely Bingo challenge for you! Here is the board for you to pick from.....

What a lovely collection of crafty items to pick from! I went for straight down the middle - ribbon, buttons and spots......

I've made this card for Joe as on Friday we celebrated seven years together. We may not be married, but we do still like to celebrate!

I have gone with a blue and pink colour combo, featuring a lovely teacup digi stamp which I think suits us perfectly! I've included some blue and pink ribbon, blue and pink buttons and of course my spots feature on both my buttons and ribbon!

This year we are celebrating our anniversary by nipping over to the Isle of Wight for a mini break. I have also arranged for Joe to meet some Marmosets at one of the zoos!
