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.

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

 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

A new year at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

I am sharing my first DT card for our Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge.

It started yesterday but I was covering for someone at work on Tuesday and it threw me out with what day of the week it was, oops!

We have 2 sketches and a retro sketch each  month and I'd love it if you were to feel inspired enough to enter our challenge.

Here is my card using sketch 319

and here is the sketch

I used the Chantilly Rose collection from The Hobby House, I have a few of their collections in my stash and as I was a little behind as I had hurt my back using ready made elements was a good option.

The die is Polka Dot Square Tile by Jamie Rodgers Craft and is cut from some plain turquoise card from Dragons papercraft and the gems were in a parcel of crafty loveliness which came from my lovely friend for my birthday.

I am entering my card in the following challenges

Shopping our Stash - #564 Free is Good - the gems were a gift

Lil' Patch of Craft Friends - #269 Anything Goes

I had a new diary for my birthday so I am writing challenges in there as they are launched and are in my reading list so hopefully this means I can be better at entering. Time will tell.

Do-Al(l)-Kreatives #109

                                                Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today

This is the first of my DT posts which I have to share today.

This is for Challenge #109 at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is to make a flag card or for anything goes.

I hadn't made one of these before so I followed a tutorial by Jan B from 2019

I used stamps from a recent release by Julie Hickey Designs - Solids #1, Natures Garden #1 and #2 and for my sentiments I used stamps from Beautiful Blooms and Circle Sentiments.

The paper is from Stampin Up and I used Memento inks in Tuxedo Back, Elderberry, Lulu Lavender, New Sprout and Pistachio.

The flowers were coloured with alcohol markers.
