Next is this gorgeous Gift bag by Claire at Creative Makings With Claire. I just love the effective use of Kraft and the gorgeous Vintage feel it brings to the projec…

Good morning everyone hope you are well! A few weeks ago I won challenge at The Lollipop Girls so they asked me to join them as a Guest Designer for this fortnight where the theme is 'Pineapples' with a photo inspiration shown above. I chose Prima papers my lovely friend Sarah bought me for my birthday at the beginning of the year (wow time flies!) as they had a green and yellow colour scheme. I coloured a Wild Rose Studios image with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Copics to compliment this. I added a trail of gems from Dovecraft, Chelsea Green Border from Papermania, Coredinations card and little butterflies cut with a Memory Box die.

Good evening everyone, sorry this is late-the day really got away from me! Hope you are all well :-) Here I am with my DT card for One Stop Craft Challenge where our theme this week is 'Monochrome tones'. I chose one of my favourite Stampin Up stamps which I coloured with Promarkers to compliment the Papermania Heather Capsule Collection papers and gems from a few years ago. All I added to this was some pearl embellishments, American Crafts Polka dot ribbon and Coredinations card.
Haha just noticed in my photo a little ant has decided to have his moment of fame on the card! :-)

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) I have been playing with the new Art Deco range by Papermania-ive always been keen on Art Deco and have some gorgeous glass decor-a dressing table set with Butterflies on and some little individual pieces from that era :-)
Anyway...here is my first card I have made with the range-a Birthday card for my Auntie. I used an 8x8 folded card because I wanted to make it a really stand out card for her, and I used Decoupage, greeting and papers from the Art Deco Ultimate Die Cut and Paper Pack.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with my Guest design project for Loves Rubberstamps 'Thanksgiving' challenge. As we dont celebrate thanksgiving in the UK I made a Thank you card to give thanks instead. I used a Wild Rose Studios Fergus stamp coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers which I cut round with a circle nestie. I then used My Minds Eye 'Bloom and Grow' papers which I cut into shapes to mimic a patchwork quilt and used faux stitching on the edges of these. I added Wooden buttons in each corner and American Crafts polka dot ribbon running through the middle of the squares. I then stamped a 'Thank you so much!' greeting on matching MME papers and cut round the border. I then placed this on my card.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well. Here I am with my DT card for our 'Thanks' challenge at One Stitch at a Time. I chose an image by Lil' Diva stamps at the store here. I coloured the snow in the image with Sakura glitter pen so in the light it sparkles like real snow. I used Echo Park papers from last years christmas collection, and added a snowflake embellishment, pearls and a 'Thank you' greeting in the bottom right hand corner. I wanted a Christmas themed Thank you card because my lovely neighbours are always helping me out and Christmas is a good opportunity to show them I really appreciate them!

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with my DT card for Dream Valley Challenges this week where our theme is 'Anything Goes'. I used a Stampin' Up stamp I adore which I stamped on Cotton with Stazon then painted with acrylic paints. I then attached this to fusible web for strength to the fabric so it would sit well on the card. I sewed round the edge of this cotton with blue thread to match the Papermania Burleigh Blue range I wanted to use. I used Burleigh Blue papers, Bows and Polka dot buttons, plus other stash from outside this range- polka dot ribbon and gems to embellish with.
