Tag Boys Birthday Card!

Good Evening Everyone,

Wow seems like I am on a roll....lol second card for the day

FRONT OF CARD

Inside of card

Close Up of Image

I made this afternoon after feeling in the mood for a Happy Card, so as Little One has a birthday party coming up I thought this will suit. I made it in the shape of a Tag and just attached it with some glue at the top so it folds open upwards.

The froggy is a rubber stamp I bought of ebay really cheaply, but unfortunately it has no name or I don't have a clue who the manufacturer is. So if anyone has seen it around and know what it's called it will be fab if you leave me a comment.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Paper Pieced Tilda!

Good Afternoon Fellow Bloggers,

I think I am starting to catch up a little after not crafting for nearly two weeks.

Anyway I made this card last night.

I used my very first Tilda stamp I ever bought, as I still love her but I had a few challenges in mind when I started of my card. The main was the Just Magnolia Challenge as it is the sketch I used, secondly Totally Tilda has a challenge for Paper piecing, so as I haven't done that before I decided to have a go so I wanted to pick a simpler stamp to start with. I am quite happy with the end result. The back ground papers I used was from a Mind's Eye Paper stack. The big flower was a sizzix die and the punched border is from Martha Stewart. All the other little bits and bops was from my stash.

So I hope you all like it....

April Showers.....Is it spring yet?

Good Afternoon Bloggers,

How are you all doing on the lovely Spring Day?

I have a few minutes to spare so decided to quickly post this card.

The Image is from the Sonny Honey Cloud Collection from Pollycraft. I had these for a while now but never got round to using them, so when I saw the image I decided straight away that I wanted to use it. I used the sketch from the Sketch & Stash challenge blog to design my card by as I really liked the layout of the sketch. The Image was coloured using my Promarkers which I then cut out using a Cricut machine and then inked the edges using some distress inks. I layered it onto bright orange. The papers is from a Paperstack I bought from Tesco ages ago when I just started out crafting and never used it, so I really liked the designs and thought it is perfect for a Springy card. The brads, buttons and ribbons was very old stash and I had it forever.

So I hope you all like the card.

Altered Item OSCC!

Good Afternoon Followers,

How is everyone doing? Did everyone have a Good Easter weekend? Well, I must apologise as it's been nearly two weeks since I posted anything, I had a bit of a family emergency and hubby ended up in hospital...luckily he made a speedy recovery and everything is slowly but surely returning to normal.

I have a few craft items I have completed the week before his accident and over the weekend so there might follow a few posts after this one.

So the first one I am posting today is a Altered item which was a DT project for the One Stop Craft Challenge. I hope you all joined in on the fun over on our challenge blog.

So firstly I took an old High School Musical Pen holder that has been sitting on my desk for ages, I started by covering it in some designer paper and thereafter decorated with some die cuts and embellishments to created a new fresh looking pen holder for my Promarkers.

Well I hope you all like the end result, I know I did...

I am entering this into the following challenges for this week:

Fussy & Fancy - Spring
CRAFT Challenge - Flowers

Easter Bag 1

Hello Bloggers,

Here's my second post as promised.

I made these little Easter Bags before Easter which I then put some hand made jewellery into which I made as gifts.

The the bags was cut using a cricut machine and then glued together.

The Easter bunny is a Rubber Stamp I won a while back on the Alotta Rubber Stamp Challenge blog. I tried to do some paper piecing on the egg and the bow tie. This was my very first attempt at Paper Piecing. The rest was coloured using my Promarkers.
