Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Week 34

Happy Sunday everyone. The challenge this week is to make a circle card! Ooooo this was an exciting one to do as it pushed me out of my comfort zone but I am pleased with the results!!!

I have used 2 scalloped circles tied together with Pink taffeta and gingham ribbon from Stampin Up! The image has been coloured in with my Stampin Up markers. I cut the circle from my Cricut and layered retro daisies all around the edge which where used from my scraps of Sweet Always papers.

Its a Girl is stamped from the Nursery Neccessities set and I have inked round the edges and added 2 flat back pearls from the Pretties kit to the mini daisies.

Hope one of the 3 people I know who are pregnant have a girl now!!

Cupcake Mum Card - Papertake Weekly Challenge

The papertake weekly challenge this week is to use Spots on your card. I just LOVE spots and polka dots so I knew exactly which papers to use!!

I am always making square cards so thought I would make a DL size card and seeing as this is going to my Mum I thought it would be good for her to have 2 different shaped cards as the Grandma card is square.

I have used my favourite papers from the Sweet Always set from Stampin Up, not only are they spotty but they are pink and brown too, yum yum yum!

The image is from the Crazy for Cupcakes set and I have stamped the sentiment over the top of the cupcake. The word Mum has been cut out on my Cricut, again using the Alphalicious cartridge. Can you see that gorgeous Rhinestone brad in the corner!! I use these sparingly but seeing as it is for my Mum I thought I would use one!!! I paper pieced the cupcake using the same set of papers.

If you would like to get your hands on these papers and more please contact me, I have only 1 place left on my paper share!!

Hope you likey!!

Picking Apples

Feeling a bit perkier today!!! Don't think I will have another lager until next New Year!!!!

Here is a card I made with a lovely stamp that was kindly given to me by my mate and team member Steph!!! Thanks Mrs, you are such a generous and lovely girl!!!!

I have coloured the image using the Stampin Up inkpads and an aquabrush and have used the same colours as the cardstock and the papers to get a co-ordinated look. Thats the joy of SU, all the hard work is done for you with colour matching!!!

The pink papers are from Sweet Always and the green papers are from Haiku. Colour combo is Regal Rose and Old Olive.

Sentiment is from the Hostess set Best Yet and I have punched it out with our Scallop Square punch and inked the edges in Regal Rose. I have used the Round Tab punch and added a Creamy Caramel Button with linen thread tied through.

Hope you like, more cards this week!!!!

Papertake Weekly Challenge Dawnys Sketch #5

I am really enjoying the challenges at the moment, made a few cards today. I am aiming to make all the cards I need for January and February during the next week or so and get much more organised and then store them in a Birthday Box!!!

This card was for the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is Dawny's Sketch Number 5! I don't know how to copy over the image of the sketch, tried copy and paste but it didn't work so if anyone would be kind enough to tell me I would be very grateful!

The colour combo is Sweet Always papers by Stampin' Up!, chocolate chip, pumpkin pie and regal rose! The cupcake and sentiment is from the Crazy for Cupcakes set and is coloured with my Watercolour Wonder Crayons. Chocolate Chip tafetta ribbon to finish it off!!

Its so cold outside today I was in a real rush to take pictures, can you tell!!! They are a bit wonky!!

Back tomorrow with another card!
