My Mum's Craft Shop - Fab n funky

It's Wednesday again, which means a new challenge over at My Mum's Craft Shop.
This week the theme is FAB N FUNKY. We would love to see what you create, so pop on over and play along, there are some fab prizes from Whimsy Stamps to be won.

To make this card, I used one of my old stamps from The Greetings Farm, coloured with promarkers, I put diamond glaze on her glasses. All the papers are lime twist, the butterflies are mather stewart punches.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges. x
I love Promarkers: Anything goes.
Partytime Tuesday: Anything goes
Paper Cutz: Anything goes
Stamp Something: Something Embellished.
Creative Craft Challenges: 3D it.
Totally Gorjuss: Punch or Die.

I cant believe it's the weekend again already, and that were nearly half way through the year - scary how quickly time is going.

Here is a card I made using two Penny Black flower images and a script background, all were cut out using nesties.
The script background was stamped using distress ink, the main image was stamped in black ink and heat embossed then coloured with water colours. The base of the card was stamped with the flower heads in versamark clear ink, and heat embossed with clear powder. I then added some dots to the mustard coloured card.

I would like to enter the card into the following challenges:
Totally Papercrafts: Don't be square
Cute & girly: Anything goes
Cupcake: In the garden
Crafty cradmakers: Embossing

Bad bad blogger! I lost the will with it yesterday, so my sincere apologies for the late post.

I have to admit, I struggled with this one a bit, but I thought traditional, the paper is DCWV and has vintagy style writing, I put diamond glaze over the NOEL even tough you cant see it! I ran the red card through the big shot in a cuttlebug folder.

To much glitter!!!

Here is a little card I made last night and went way over the top with the glamour dust! lol Oh well never mind hay?!

Apologies for the washed out look, it is allot more colourful IRL!

I used a Penny Black image, coloured with promarkers, added a tonne of glamour dust and mounted on to nestie cut shapes.

All done ready to see who gets the boot from X Factor! x

Over at Charisma Cardz Challenge this week the theme is Autumn Colours, there are some fantastic prizes, prize 1 is 5 digital stamps from Pink Cat Studio, and prize 2 is a $20 gift voucher from Simon says stamp.

Firstly apologies to the other Charizma girlies and anyone who saw my card on the challenge site as I took the pic in poor light! And I am not the greatest when it comes to the technology malarkey!

Here is a card I made tonight whilst watching/listening to an audience with Phil Collins - he's so good. Anyway, I already had the image coloured, so just put it together. Again its dodgy lighting but I supposed we have to get used to that now : ( 8pm and its dark, I love long light days/evenings - I used to love sitting in a beer garden with friends - how things have changed! lol.

The image is available from Funky Kits, coloured with promarkers, glamour dust added (as its the law! lol) Then added diamond glaze to the tea pot, as it was a bit gloopy! I didn't add it to the cup (must pick some up at the Exeter craft show next week) cut the image out with nesties, embosses the blue bazill with a cuttlebug folder, the corners are a quickutz die, and the ribbon is from my ribbon draw!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

It was Adam's Mum's birthday yesterday and I made this card for her, so similar yet a tad different to what I have been making of late, its quick and simple to make when I have a demanding little diva wanting my attention every time I set foot into my craft room, I think she knows! lol

Stamp with us

Think I may be a tad too many mins late for this weeks challenge - but never mind, thought I would still enter it anyway! Today has been one of those days where I should not have made any plans! Finally got in just before midnight and Ive not even been to the pub and its a Saturday night! lol

Anyway this card is for Stamp with Us challenge - as I have a newly found love of Stampin Up things I thought it would be rude not to enter.

This weeks theme was 1 stamp, 2 papers, 3 brads. I have used old olive papers ink and card.

Triple Challenge

Here is a card I put together yesterday for 3 challenges.

The sketch is over at Papertake Weekly.

Daring Cardmakers - "The First Letter" They would like you to put things on your card which begin with the first letter of your name. My name is Sally - so I have used Sparkly gems, Sparkly glitter, Stars, Snowflakes, Shoes and a square card (not sure that really counts lol).

A Spoonful Of Sugar - To make something for a baby's first Christmas or a pre schooler.

Hope your Monday has been a good one. x

Quick and cute

............... is this weeks theme over at My Time To Craft. Which I thought was great, so after having a little thinky, I got out my new cuttlebug snowflake die, and started cutting snowflakes out of glitter card (lovely glittery sparkle, I got covered! lol).
I loved making these small cards, these ones remind me of when I was at school many moons ago lol, and it was cool to give out tiny Christmas cards.

All that aside Im so proud of me getting some Christmas cards done already, I might just make a few more like these. I think they will look quite nice twinkling away in the dark Christmas nights to the glow of the fire! - We put the fire on for the first time last nigh as it was freezing, I'm looking forward to the summer again already, lol.

The team over at My Time To Craft is also having a DT call if your interested pop on over.

To make these cards I used:
Cuttlebug snowflake die, plain card stock, nestabilities, doodlebug stamp 'Let it snow', glitter card, papermania brads, sparkly gems.

Happy Birthday Arline

Arline has a birthday coming up, so to help celebrate she is giving away some amazing candy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARLINE

To be in with a chance of winning you need to make a birthday card and link it back to the candy - it can be linked to a challenge.

Life seems to have calmed down a bit now so hoping to get lots more crafting done :)
