Cards as promised

Here are a couple of the cards I made with the brand new digi stamps Julia and Joey.

I followed a sketch from Creative Inspirations for the card using Joey and also added the tartan ribbon for the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge who wanted a taste of Scotland. Sundays with Crissy wanted a combo so I went for a favourite colour cobo using papers from K&Co Hopscotch.

My second card usus the Julia digi stamp and you can see the details on this one over on my other blog, Jenni's Crafty Journal.


Hope you like the new images!

3 brand new images

Introducing Flirty Fairy, Julia on her swing and, not forgetting the boys, Joey skateboarding. Sample cards will be added in the morning but the images are now available to buy - you'll find them all on the sidebar. Don't forget, Debbie from my previous post is still free with any purchase until the end of the month!

I will give away the digi image Debbie used on my last project with every digi purchase from now until the end of April - just make your purchase and pay for it using Paypal and I will include Debbie when I email your image to you.

It's been a while!

I've been neglecting this blog lately and so I had to make a card to show that I'm still around and haven't dropped off the face of the earth just yet! Of course if you follow my other blog you'll probably already know that life has been a bit hectic recently, however I have a card to share today which uses Debbie, one of my favourite digi stamps.
I looked around for a suitable challenge or two and found the Kaboodle Doodles challenge was perfect as they were looking for a Digi Girl and Digital Tuesday's challenge was to paperpiece with digi image so here we are:


Debbie has been coloured with Promarkers and paper-pieced with two patterned papers, I die cut one of the patterned papers (which came from K&Co Hopscotch) and added some fabric flowers and brads to match. The sentiment was a die cut, threaded with some organza ribbon, finished with a bow and stamped with a Hero Arts stamp. The lace was re-cycled from another card.

I will give away the digi image Debbie used on this project with every digi purchase from now until the end of April - just make your purchase and pay for it using Paypal and I will include Debbie when I email your image to you.

The card also fits the challenges:
Cupcake Craft - Childhood Memories (I used to love skipping)
Pink Elephant - 1 image, 2 dies, 3 embellishments
Our Creative Corner - Bows

All dressed up

As promised here is a card made with my latest digi stamp All Dressed Up. I used a green colour scheme which is common to various challenges this week and followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers to come up with this card. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out and hope you like the new image.

I'm also entering the card for the challenges at:
Stamp Something - Cream and Green
Raise the Bar - Go Green
Fussy & Fancy - Green
Cupcake Craft - Going Green
Digital Tuesday - Lots of Green

New image - All dressed up

This is my newest digi stamp - All dressed up along with a sneak peek at a sample card coming tomorrow.

Five challenges

I made this card yesterday with 5 challenges in mind - see which ones at the end of the post. I used K&Co backing paper, my own digi stamp Rosie coloured with Promarkers, Prima flowers, recycled petticoat lace (had just enough left over from another project), a fancy button from who knows where and a sentiment from Woodware. The butterflies are peel-offs - something I very rarely use but these ones are really pretty mounted on acetate with little half pearls added for the heads.

The challenges I'm entering it for are-
Charisma Cardz - butterflies
Kaboodle Doodles - Happy Birthday
Cute Card Thursday - Celebrations
and
Spoonful of Sugar - use something recycled

I also intended to enter it into the Lala Land challenge but hadn't taken note of the fact that I had to use one of their own images so I've disqualified myself from that one :(

Great Job!

I wanted to show you the great job my sister Gillian made of this card using my digi stamp Lucy's Ted. She made the card for our aunt's birthday which is tomorrow and I just love how she's coloured the image and added the freckles!

Going girly

Made a new card today for the Stamp Something challenge whose challenge this week is Something Girly. I used my Sally digi stamp and coloured her up in girly pink with my Promarkers. I cut a circle with my nestabilities and tried a new technique I saw the other day which involved using a Stampin Up border punch to cut a long strip (about 12'5") which I then snipped at intervals to make it fit around my circle to create a border. You will find a tutorial for this over here on the Simon Says Stamp blog. I then decorated the card with ribbon, a fabric flower, a pin, buttons, dewdrops and diamontes. My backing paper is from Papermania.

Also entering the challenges below:
Saturday Spotlight - Friendship
Paperplay - Just Because
Papertake Weekly - Buttons, bows, brads & bling (might actually be too late for this one!)
Simon Says - Girly
