DAK #112 Repeat Stamping

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am here to share my DT card for the April challenge over at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is Repeat Stamping.


I repeat stamped the Julie Hickey Designs Thank you stamp in a variety of colours using Memento inkpads Love Letter, Tangelo, Dandelion, Pear Tart, Danube Blue, Lulu Lavender and Rose Bud. Tuxedo Black was used to stamp the so much from Julie Hickey Designs Thinking/Thank and More and the Queen Annes Lace from Natures Garden 2. This was then trimmed and matted onto black card and then a card blank made from some orange card in my stash.

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am sharing my second card for our challenge for March over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. Our next challenge begins on Wednesday so there's still about 48 hours to join in.


To make my card I have primarily used products from Stampin Up, from the Framed Florets products, the blue card is Pool blue from Creative Expressions and the green card is Bazzill.
I stamped the sentiment with Memento Cottage Ivy ink and the pearls are from stash.
This is the lovely sketch from Kathie

SSW2 DT sketch 322

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. There is a week left to join us over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month and this card showcases a simple sketch which is really quick to put together - if you don't include thinking time of course.


Here is the sketch

and to make my card I used a 148x148mm kraft base card and matted some Paper Addicts paper onto red card. The topper is from a Kanban Craft pyramage topper sheet which I have been storing for some time and the sentiment is from the same sheet.
It's been finished with some enamel dots from Stampin up

Critter Crazy Challenge DT #108

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. There's still 10 days to go for the Critter Crazy Challenge where anything with a Critter can be used.

Here's my DT card for this month.


I used Tony Toucan from Woodware designed by Francoise Read, he's coloured with alcohol markers and the sentiment is from the same set.
The blue card was embossed with the Cutttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder and the postage stamp die was a gift from a lovely friend in the southern hemisphere so the packaging was removed to save on postage, it's all on a 148cm square card.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges
Allsorts challenge blog 845 Things with Wings
Passion for Markers Week 828 - Anything masculine

DAK #111 Anything Goes

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am here to share my DT card for the March challenge over at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is Anything Goes. I am sharing this rocker card which I made for a nephew who is football crazy earlier in the year.


The papers are Paper Addicts and the stamped images came from a sporting themed set that came with Creative Stamping issue 92, the football was a free image from the web.

Thank you

Do-Al(l)-Kreatives #110 DT card


Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.
I can't believe that it is February already, January just seems to have disappeared in a flash.

It's time to share my card for this months challenge at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is to make a slider card or for anything goes. 


I used the new Made to Make kit from Made to Surprise to make my card which took far longer than it should have and was redesigned half way through. It's been so long since I made a slider card but I think I will definitely make another soon.
The images are coloured with alcohol markers and everything is from the kit apart from the cardstock I used.

Thank you for visiting

Winter birthday

 Thank you for visiting my blog today.

I am sharing the card which I have made for my niece for her birthday, she loves penguins so hopefully she will enjoy it.



I've used Birthday Penguin by Whimsy Stamps which I have coloured with alcohol markers, this is such a joyful stamp and I always enjoy creating with it.
I think the happy birthday die is a tattered lace and the niece is from Hazels Female Family medley set from Julie Hickey Designs.
Papers are Lili of the Valley/Raspberry Road designs - Shabby Shack
Circle dies are Studio Light Essentials - Nested Circles another favourite with the mix of stitchy detail and scalloped edge dies. 

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges
Allsorts Challenge #840 - Winter Animals
Stamping Sensations - Something beginning with B - a penguin is a bird - Norton seems to have fallen out with a few blogs so I will try again in a couple of days
Make my Monday 269  - Use paper with pattern
Passion for Markers #820 - Favourite Digi or Stamp

I do hope that I have followed everyones rules correctly

Best wishes
