Cutie Pie Challenge

Good Morning everyone, hope you are all well? Today I am showing you my card for the DT spot I have for Cutie Pie Challenge. The theme was dies and punches here is what I came up with.



The card base I made on my Silhouette Cameo, then I used some paper from my stash and matt and layered on to craft card and did the same with the banners. I then matt and layered the scalloped heart and heart from my nestie dies. I used my memory box dies for the flowers and my memory box die (which I love) for the banners. I even used the heart from the banners on my card. The image is from A Random Day coloured in with my pro markers and I love how it turned out, the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and finished off with a scalloped circle matt and layer.

Cutie Pie Challenge One For Mum Challenge

Good Morning everyone, hope you are all well been a little while since I posted so thought I would share with you my card for my DT spot on Cutie Pie Challenge.
I coloured the Teddy Bo image in with my pro markers, added some card and paper from my stash, finished off with swirls from memory box dies added some flowers, of course some pearls and finished off with a sentiment. I cut the card base on my cameo which I LOVE.
 

 
I really enjoyed making this and it will go to the Mother In Law for mothers day. Thanks for looking and take a look at the Cutie Pie Challenge blog and get your entries in.

Cutie Pie Challenge Card

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day? Well it is Cutie Pie Challenge time again, this time the theme was dots and spots, so I thought I would try something a little different.
I went with the latest trend of a card in a box once I had worked out the measurements as all the tutorials I have found use 3/4 of an inch etc and my hougie board does not have those score lines on, so sorted it all out and here it is.

 
I used my Hougie Board to score the lines and make the card in a box base and the best thing about this is it can fold flat in an envelope. I used some spotty paper from my stash, coloured the image by From The Heart which is really cute. I used some fence die cuts I had and finished with a sentiment from craftwork cards, flowers, bling and butterflies from my stash.
Hope you all like it, take a look at the Cutie Pie Challenge.

Cutie Pie Challenge

Good Morning everyone, hope your all well. The weather has been a little horrible here but hopefully the nicer weather will be here soon.
I made this card for the Cutie Pie Challenge, the theme was valenties. I love the image (from 2 Cute Ink) and it was lovely to colour in using my pro markers.
I added the sunburst effect with two co ordinating papers from the Tilly Daydream series, then added a border on the bottom and topped off with a matha stewart punch border. I added a nestie shape I have and a doiley on top and last to finish a sentiment and some heart bling.

Trying Out For A New DT

Good afternoon everyone hope this post finds you all well?
I am going to try out for another DT this time it is the lush Sherri Baldy My Besties 3D Decoupage Sheets, if you have not seen Sherri's designs you really must go and take a look she is also on Facebook and her page is full of her lovely creations, they come in digi's and rubber stamps too along with new products including t-shirts etc.
I hope you like the card I made, I really enjoyed doing this and my crafting
 juices were flowing.

 

I used the lush decoupage image and cut it out by hand, then used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the card base and the fancy "Antique shape" behind it (which I have to say is on Sale). I then used Craftwork Cards papers and matt and layered with white as I thought it went well with the pastel colours. I added some corner die from my stash and the lush card candi with the hearts that went well with my colour scheme. To finish off I stamped a sentiment and added some pearls and bling.
 
I am hoping I have a chance to get onto the DT but we will wait and see. Take a look at Sherri Baldy on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sherri.baldystamps?fref=ts) as her images are just really really pretty.
Thanks for looking at my card and I hope you all have a lovely day.

Cutie Pie Challenge

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and this horrible drizzly weather is not getting you down too much?
I have not had a very good start to the year but as the saying goes "Things Can Only Get Better" so lets just hope that is true.
 
Here is my entry for the Cutie Pie Challenge the theme was January Blues. I coloured the image using my pro markers and my  metallic markers, then added some embossed foily paper I had in my stash. I then used a Martha Stewart punch for the border and added some ribbon. I then added the topper and finished off with some bling, pearls, flowers and a sentiment.


 
Please take a look at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog http://cutiepiechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ as we have two prizes to win this time.

Cutie Pie Challenge

Good Morning everyone hope you are all well?
I would like to take this chance to say a very happy Christmas to everyone, thanks for following me and it really means a lot when you comment on my little makes it makes it all worth while. So THANK YOU AGAIN.
Well the brief this time for the DT was a snowman, I took the children to see Disney Frozen at the Cinema and it was fantastic, so decided to use the snowman from the story as he was so funny and super cute.
 
I decoupaged him and added some shimmer card through my Christmas embossing folder then added some bakers twine with a bell and to finish some blue bling and a sentiment that matches perfectly.
