Papertake Weekly

I've made these cards to fit in with the challenge over on Papertake Weekly. The subject is cutie patootie, so I couldn't resist doing some more baby cards!! I used my new stamps from Penny Black and Forever Friends, along with some papers and other stuff from my stash!

Penny Black & Forever Friends Challenges

I've made these magnetic notebooks with pens for two challenges - the Forever Friends Challenge is to make a gift, and the Penny Black Saturday Challenge which is "spring". The only thing missing off them is my stamped sentiment "just a note", which I'm really annoyed about because I can't find it anywhere!! I covered some notebooks, used some coasters that I ran through my xyron magnetic laminate machine, so they can be stuck on the fridge, or wherever!!

Sketch Saturday & Forever Friends Challenge Blog

I've made this card using the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the challenge from Forever Friends Challenge. I used various textured cardstock, my cuttlebug embossing folders in my big shot, some forever friends stickers and some punched flowers and brads.

i woke up this morning to find a card and box of choccies from hubby, and remembered I hadn't gotten around to making a card for him - I've been so busy with arranging our first jewellery party (which was last night, and sold nearly £300 of jewellery - yippee!!). Anyway, I got up and quickly went a made a quick card for him, and thought I'd fit it into the

Forever Friends Challenge Blog

I've made a quick card for this weeks Forever Friends Challenge. I couldn't bring myself to crop the photo out of the photo if you get what I mean - it's such a nice pic of the kids!! Anyway, back to the card, I made it using ff papers and stickers, with some ribbon - like I said, very quick, but I like it! Ooooh - I nearly forgot - I used my new nesties - their first outing, just need some time on my own to play with them now!!
I think the card could do with some tarting up - I'll maybe do this tomorrow. Click on the pic for a closer look.

Forever Friends Challenge Blog

Here's my very first entry for the Forever Friends Challenge Blog. I can't believe it's been going for about a month now and I've never even heard of it before yesterday!! Anyway, I used a deckled edge card blank, with some ff paper, circles cut with my creative memories circles (don't have the nesties!!), added some more paper strip and 2 stars. A very quick card - took me all of about 20 mins to make! (A bit rushed for time again today!)

Cupcake Craft Challenge - There's a hole ...

Hi everyone, there's a new challenge over on Cupcake Craft Challenges - this week it's my turn to set the challenge, which is ...
"There's a hole in my bucket..." so, I want people to make their card, atc or whatever with a hole in it - it could be an aperture card, a shaker card, anything that has a hole in it!!! I don't really mean for it to be a bucket - that's just the song!!! The winner of this weeks challenge will get a bag of Around the Block brads from me.
I made a shaker card using forever friends paper and some star confetti for the shakey bits! I used my cuttlebug die for the greeting, and made some flowers using my flower punch with gems.

Cupcake Craft Challenge No 10 - Sketch

A spoon full of sugar Challenge 21 - Lim's Sketch

I managed to sneak off for an hour this afternoon, and managed to make this card for the A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge. It's a great sketch this week by Lim. I used some papermania papers, some pink card and paper from stash cut using my scallop scissors, but this would have been much easier and straighter if I had a scallop punch (like the new Stampin Up one - will have to start writing my xmas list!), my great nesties, a sizzix corner die with the pink card, and some SU dazzling diamonds - these are fantastic!! I added some brads, and some forever friends peel offs to go with the stamped image, watercoloured with my pencils. I really enjoyed making this card and am quite pleased with the results!!

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Katharina's sketch

This card has been made for the Papertake Weekly challenge which this week is a sketch by Katharina. I used some silver cardstock, layered with the forever friends papers, more silver, some lilac cardstock and two pieces of ribbon. I stamped the ff image onto some SU cardstock, coloured with prismacolour pencils and sansodor, added some stickers and there you have it. I just love these forever friends products (but you probably know that by now!!)

Cupcake Craft Challenge No 6 - Sketch

Here's my DT effort for this weeks Cupcake Craft Challenge. This week there is a sketch to follow, and I used my new Forever Friends papers and stickers.
I absolutely love this range of papers, I also used my nesties and circle punches. I haven't found an easy way to line up the paper with the holes in the card - I punched the card first, then I put the paper where it was to go, and drew the holes on to the paper, took it away and made the larger holes, then I placed the paper back onto the card and stuck it in place.

Here is the link to this weeks challenge - why not give it a go?? Cupcake Craft Challenges.

SBS18 Challenge 18 - Thank You

Here's my card for the SBS Challenge which this week is to make a Thank You card.
I went and bought myself some of the new forever friends papers and stickers yesterday (a present to myself for my birthday!), and couldn't wait to use them. I would've liked the stamps too, but couldn't afford to buy them all and couldn't choose just one!!

I used the papers, some ribbon and then added some buttons, as well as the cuttlebug letters and a sticker that's mounted on 3d foam.

This is an A5 card as it's also going to be given for a friend who's leaving our local nursery, so loads of people will be signing it - plenty of space inside.
