I Love.....Chocolate!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday...I hope you are keeping well and have had a good week.

Can you believe that its the end of January already?? It looks like 2015 might fly by as quickly as 2014 did! With Valentines Day just around the corner the ladies at Sweet Stampin have decided to get you in the mood with a "love" challenge theme this week!

Now I don't know about you...but I LOVE chocolate....in my humble opinion you can't beat a square or two to cheer you up! With this in mind I decided to feature chocolate on my love themed card....

I've gone for a CAS look, printing my digi stamp directly onto my card blank. The cute chocolate box  image is from Free Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps - when I saw it I knew it would be perfect for this challenge. 

I have coloured my image with my Promarkers, and added a printed sentiment and some faux stitching around the edge.

For more inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week. While you're there you can find out about our fab sponsor this week....

A Little Late Night Crafting!

Well hello there...not sure what has come over me, but I decided at about 9:30pm this evening that I fancied making a card! Nothing elaborate, but something simple and cute to stretch my crafty fingers!

Joe has popped out (I know - who on earth pops out at this time of night??), the cats have taken themselves off to bed and I am sat in my craft room - bliss!

I decided to use some of my new stash, including a new black pen and some lovely stripey paper from a new collection. I teamed these with an oldie but a goodie stamp for this CAS card....

See I told you it was a simple card!

I stamped my image onto my striped paper before carefully cutting it out and mounting it onto my card using 3D sticky pads. I stamped my sentiment and then added the faux stitching with the pen.

I do love CAS cards - perfect for when you get that urge to create something, but know you should be doing something else (in my case right now sleeping!).

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

My Time to Craft - stripes

Allsorts - new & cute (the paper and pen)
