Cutie Pie Challenge

Good Morning everyone hope you are liking this warm weather we are having in the UK at the moment?
It is Cutie Pie Challenge time again and the theme was layer it up, the digi image is from Pink Gem and I have to say I think it has to be one of my favourites. I coloured using my pro markers. The card base itself and the matt and layer that the image is on I used my cameo to cut it all, then matt and layered using papers from my stash. I finished off with some nestie star shapes and a sentiment.

Sugar Nellie Party

Good Morning everyone, I saw on my facebook that Sugar Nellie are have a party and took a look at their blog. I saw they were doing a competition with one of my favourite stamps ever so thought I had to enter.
I made this for my mum, I used my Cameo for the base card, stamped the image and paper pierced it (I really like doing this as it is so easy to match the papers in the background). Then finished off the gorjuss girl with my pro markers. I used some paper from my stash and matt and layered it together.

I added some sentiments and glazed some candi to finish off, I really enjoyed making this card.
 Thanks for looking and please take a look at the Sugar Nellie Blog http://sugarnellie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/its-party-time.html and see some of the amazing cards on there.

Try our for Tiddly Inks DT

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all well. Happy New Year to you all, for a start and I hope that 2015 is everything you dream it will be and more.
 
I really love Tiddly Inks and was delighted to hear that they are asking for new DT members so I jumped at the chance.
Here is my creation it is a calendar I made (I got the idea from a friend off of Facebook), I changed all the sizes to fit the dice in and the size of the dice etc, there is a spare dice on the back which has the other 6 months on, it has a little holder on the back just to keep it safe.
which I love it makes me want a hot chocolate for a start which is never a bad thing. I coloured her in with my Pro Markers, then used my Silhouette Cameo for the matt and layer on the back, I used my dies and Grand Calibur for the matt and layer that Cocoa Wishes is sat on, then used some flower punches and swirl dies and to finish off bling and some butterflies.
 
I am super pleased with this as I worked out all the measurements by my self. I love making things that I can use around the house and this has taken pride of place in my living/dining room at my craft end.
 
 

Hope you like it and please take a look at the Tiddly Ink Blog
 
 
and if you want to try out for the DT, you cant win if your not in it.
Have a Fabby evening and thanks for looking.

Teddy Bo

Good evening everyone, hope this finds you all well. It has been a mad week and I have managed to finish my hubbys card for his birthday. I would like to enter it into the Teddy Bo Challenge, the theme was pearl or lace. I didn't use any lace but lots of heart pearls.
I cut the card base out on my cameo. The image is coloured with my pro markers. I used some paper and card from my stash, matt and layered them and added a Happy Birthday embossing folder to the blue holographic card (it is a little hard to see) . To finish off I made the sentiment which reads "Showering you in love on your birthday" and some card candi.

Good Afternoon

Afternoon Everyone, I have had quite a rough time of it lately. So decided to cheer myself up by applying for a DT spot for Teddy Bo, even if I don't get it I enjoyed making my card set up and colouring this very cute image in.
I got the image from Teddy Bo and coloured it with my pro markers. I cut the teapot shape and card shape (behind the cup) with my cameo, to finish off I added some sugar lumps which I made using my Hougie Board. To finish I added lots of gems and paper pierced the cup with some papers from Craftwork Cards.
Hope you like the card set I am very proud of it.

Good Morning everyone, well the school holidays are going quite well, just a few things to get ready to send the kids back to school.
Anyway back to crafting, the theme this time for Cutie Pie Challenge was twos company. I coloured the cute image using my pro markers and used the dotting effect to make the bears look furry (I use same thing for teddy bears). I used some papers from my stash and decided to do a weave type background, finished off with a sentiment, pearls and flowers.



I hope you like it I really enjoyed doing this it was nice to spend an hour or so to myself especially with it being the school holidays. Give it a go and get your entries in to Cutie Pie http://cutiepiechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/.
