Bloom

Well it's time for another challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and this month the challenge is Buttons and Bows.

As you might have worked out by now, I'm not much of a Buttons and Bows kind of person actually.  (Although I do like to use buttons on cards quite a bit).  So I've only used 1 button and my bow is made using some twine, there's nothing frilly and fussy about this card.  I've stayed with clean and simple but have still managed the brief (pretty much).  :)

I used a CC Designs Pollycraft stamp called Bloom.  She's very cute isn't she!?  And this sentiment by High Hopes called Dropping a Line is simply perfect to use with her.

The papers are from the Glitz - Love you Madly pad. And I used a pink button.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Bloom - CC Designs, Dropping a Line - High Hopes
Card : x-press it, black, crumb cake, sky,  Love you Madly - Glitz
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink
Other : pink button, hemp twine, Stitched zig zag die (La la land), Copics

It's time for another challenge over at the Bunny Zoe's Crafts Blog.

That's pretty easy right?  We hope you'll play along with us :)

I decided to make a card using a beautiful Saturated Canary stamp called Charmings.
I loved colouring her :)

I created the little tag by stamping Magnolia - Sparkle Hearts in the background and then over-stamping the Whimsy - Girl Talk sentiment and using a copic marker to colour the words and heart in a little.

Wanderlust

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share with you today.  This cutie is a stamp by A Random Fan called Wanderlust.  Isn't it adorable!!!
I really love this one :)

I made this card for a fabulous lady who owns a motorbike inspired coffee shop near my home called Moto Vecchia.  She is always so kind to me and my girls so I thought I'd make her a little thank you card.  Hope she likes it :)

The sentiment is from a wonderful CC Designs set called Great Birthday Greetings.
The beautiful paper is from a pad by Echo Park called Head Over Heels.
And I used a pretty pink button.  The challenge at the Bunny Zoe's Crafts blog this month is buttons, I love using them on cards.  Why don't you try one on a card and enter our challenge too?

Candy Cane Penguin

It's time for another challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the theme this month is SNOW.

I decided to use a very cute stamp by High Hopes called Candy Cane Penguin.

The sentiment is by High Hopes too and is called Winter Hi!

I coloured it with my copics (of course).  And after I coloured the BG sky I used the blender pen to make various sized dots for snow.  It's the first time I've tried that and I was happy with how it turned out.

I added a beautiful snowflake charm to the card and called this quick and simple snowy card done :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Candy Cane Penguin, Winter Hi!
Card : x-press it, soft sky, Frosted Lace (wild rose studio)

Mouse With Poinsettia

It's time for another challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and this month the theme is Animals.  I got to choose the theme this time and I decided on it because I love cute animal stamps, especially for Christmas cards!  An animal doesn't have to be the main feature of the card, but one does have to be on there somewhere :)

I decided to use this super cute stamp from Wild Rose Studio called Mouse With Poinsettia.

The pretty paper is from a Wild Rose Studio pack called Frosted Lace.  There are none of your typical red and green papers in this pack, but instead, pretty pinks and blues.  So I decided to colour a pink poinsettia to match.  The ornament dies are from Wild Rose Studio too!  I just cut these two off the Row of Baubles die, glued some vellum on the back and coloured the vellum from behind.  It is a gorgeous die and very versatile as you can use them individually like I did, or as they come in a row.

I also used a new sentiment stamp from CC Designs.  It's from a fun set called Snarky Christmas and it's available to pre-order now.  I also used a pink button and some white web ribbon.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Mouse With Poinsettia, Snarky Christmas
Card ; x-press it, baja, Frosted Lace
Ink : memento black
Other : Row of Baubles die,  pink button, white web ribbon, copics

Reindeer Flying

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today and it's my first Christmas card of the year!
And as it's almost October now, that seems a little late to me.  I had better get creating or my Christmas card list will have to be drastically shortened :)

This one is using the adorable Wild Rose Studio stamp called Reindeer Flying.

He actually comes with one star but I wanted a couple more so I just stamped it again a couple of times, coloured them, cut them out and stuck them on where I wanted.

Layer Cake

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today and I've used The Greeting Farm set called Layer Cake.  And amazingly there is no colouring involved at all!!!

I also used the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents dies, which are so pretty and I added some flat backed pearls to them too. The paper is from the Head over Heels pad by Echo Park.
I added some Star Dust Stickles to the candles and used antique linen and walnut stain distress inks.

The sentiment is from CC Designs too and is called  Great Birthday Greetings.

Ponytail

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share with you today.  I've used this very sweet Time for Tea image for Whimsy Stamps called Ponytail.

The current challenge at Curtain Call really inspired me.  I love using pinks and aqua type blues together but I would have never thought to add some yellow into the mix.  I love how it turned out though, it's so bright and happy, just as a birthday card should be :)
I used papers from the Crate Paper Little Bo Peep pad.



I used some Kaisercraft Sea Breeze Sparklets.
The sentiment is from a CC Designs set called Great Birthday Greetings.

I also used the sketch at Sketch Saturday for some inspiration.

Monet's Butterfly

It's time for a new challenge over at the Bunny Zoe's Crafts Blog and this time the challenge is to use Lots Of Layers. 
I used this gorgeous stamp by A Random Fan called Monet's Butterfly.  It was my first time using a Random Fan stamp and I really loved it.  She is so sweet and cute and lots of fun to colour.

I also used the Happy Day sentiment set by CC Designs.
The Heart Border Die is also from CC Designs and adds a really sweet touch I think.
The pretty paper is by Magnolia and is called Dot Roses.  I also used 3 pink buttons and some light pink web ribbon.

Wheelbarrow Marci

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today and I got to use a La La Land stamp for the first time.  Her name is Wheelbarrow Marci and I think she's gorgeous and she was lots of fun to colour :)  This sentiment, plus another, are included with her too which is a bonus.

The paper is by Magnolia and is called Vintage Forget Me Not.  It is truly beautiful, it actually looks textured because of the background pattern on it.
The corner die is from a Spellbinders set called Fleur de lis accents and I sponged it and the papers with antique linen distress ink.
I also used some light blue web ribbon and an ice storm button.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Wheelbarrow Marci

Tilda with Daisy-Mae the Tiger

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share with you today :)
I have used a Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Daisy-Mae the Tiger.
They are very sweet aren't they!

 I have also used a new sentiment set by CC Designs called Happy Day and it's a great set.  The paper is Sweet Pea by Kaisercraft.  I have loved this sheet ever since I got the paper but it was too big for a card and I couldn't figure out a good way to use it.  Then I saw the great sketch at Sketch Saturday this week and realised that I could cut it into squares as they have done in the sketch and keep the nice border of flowers all around the card.  Yay!  I also used some flat-backed pearls and a Prima tea-thyme button.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Tilda with Daisy-Mae the Tiger, Happy Day
Card : x-press it, black, crumb cake, Sweet Pea (Kaisercraft)
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink

Bride

It's challenge time again at Bunny Zoe's Crafts blog and the challenge this month is Flowers and Charms.

I decided to use this sweet stamp by Magnolia called DooBeePops Bride Tilda.  As you can see there isn't much colouring to do on her so it was a fairly quick and easy card to make.  I just coloured her a bit with my copics and added some Star Dust Stickles to her veil and tiara. I also added a Flat backed pearl and then cut her out and trimmed the sides off a bit to fit inside the gorgeous  Window die by Marianne D.

I added some Kaisercraft Paper Blooms - Coconut to the window ledge and added a Crafted Heart Charm to the top. The pink paper is from the lovely  Head Over Heels pad by Echo Park and I also added some gorgeous Silk Lace  ribbon by Marianne D.

I hope you'll join in our challenge this month :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : DooBeePops Bride Tilda (Magnolia)
Card : x-press it, silver, shimmery white, Echo Park - Head Over Heels

New Baby

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today.
I've used a gorgeous new Whimsy Stamp by Sylvia Zet called New Baby.
And isn't it adorable!

I also used the new Happy Day sentiment set by CC Designs.  I think this worked really well with the image.  It's cute and it meant the card could be used for a new baby or for a baby shower or when someone announces they're having a baby.  I have had a few occasions to make cards for people at work who are going on maternity leave and I like to give them something then, but don't know the happy details yet. This card would be perfect for that.

The papers are from a Crate Paper pad called Little Bo Peep and I also used the Magnolia Tilda Lace die.
I used a gem and a Prima Sun Kissed Button.

Ingredients :
Stamps : New Baby, Happy Day
Card : black, x-press it,  Little Bo Peep (Crate paper)
Ink : memento black
Other : pierced oval stax (MFT),  Magnolia Tilda Lace die, gem, Prima Sun Kissed Button, gold spica, copics
