R#40 over at Crafts 4 eternity

Hi all,

It's time for another fab challenge over at crafts 4 eternity this week we want you to make your project based on the below sketch. Pop over to the blog to check out the wonderful creations from my teamies on the crafts for eternity DT, and maybe get a little inspiration! 

I love having a sketch to follow, it takes a lot of the planning out of making a card I think, and leaves me plenty of time to have fun colouring my image and decided what embellishments I want to use!
At the moment I'm having lots of fun making my own embellishments using... yep you've guessed it Tim Holtz tissue tape! I love making this flowers/ rosettes with it!

The cute little image is from Pollycrafts digi images and she is called Trix, I coloured her using a mixture of copics and flexmarkers.
Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
Hugs,

Thanks..... Beep Beep

Hi all,
Please see the end of this post for the list of challenges I'm entering this card into.
Well I think I am sort of getting back to 'normal' I have a card in the middle of the week!
I had great fun with this really cute little image from Pollycraft called tin rose!

When I was recovering from my recent operation, I didn't manage to do any crafting for over 3 weeks but that doesn't mean that I didn't do any craft shopping! (on-line and on the shopping channels). So for this card I decided to try and use things from my stash, so all the papers are ones that have been in my stash for ages and I have neglected.

I will have to finish the inside of my cards in a similar way to the front more often, it really does add the finishing touch!

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think, I do love hearing what you think.

Hello my crafting buddies!

For a list of the challenges I'm entering this card into please see the end of this post.

I have used another cute Pollycraft but this time one of the little girls ( I have been neglecting the girls in this set). Isn't she pretty and summery, refreshing considering the current 'summer' weather we are having here in the UK rain all day today!

I coloured her in with my copic ciao markers. I have layered the sunflower and stuck it down with silicone glue to add dimension to it.

Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

Hi all,

Please see the end of this post for the list of challenges I'm entering this card into.

I used another of my favorites from Polly craft he is from one of the swings and slides digi bundles (7 digis for under £6, great value!) I love all the boys in this range, I have used a few of the others already on previous cards. Of course I coloured him with my copic caio markers

The paper is from the 'smirk' range, I haven't used anything from that range before but this fitted so well! You may also notice the tape at the top, another new addition to my stash. It is from the Tim Holtz range I just love all his stuff it so very versatile.  I have attached the little fish with thread, I like this and I think it adds to his cuteness!

Anyway thanks for looking and please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Don't you just love this  cute little digi, another of my favorites from Pollycraft. The sentiment may not completly fit to you, but it does to me as it reminds me of when I was little and I had a teddy that I carried everywhere with me. In fact I still have him somewhere!

I have added dimesion again to him by layering his head and fluffy little slippers with silicone glue. The ticket with friends forever on it is another free digi from Marit. I have used quite a few of these and she has loads more on her blog go check it out and start creating!

Pollycraft 100th Challenge



This card is for the 100th challenge over at Polly craft blog (I'm also entering it into Simon says stamps challenge which is stitching) using one of the new digis called little bubbas. As part of the 100th challenge celebration the theme is two fold, the main theme is celebration. The other optional theme is stars and stripes (which you can see in my background paper!)

I'm not entirely happy with the way this turned out so you may see me back again later today with another card for this challenge.

Hi,

Please see the end of this post for the list of challenges I'm entering this card into.

Back to my old faithful kraft card stock! But it does go with this cute little monkey doesn't it! (think that justifies me using it :)  He is another of my favorites digital images from Polly craft I have used a number of Chester monkey images before.

I have to say his sausage has to be a veggie one! (as I'm a vegetarian) but I think I may have made it look to much like meat :)

I have added dimension to his cute little chef hat by cutting out a second hat 'embossing' it (if that's the correct term) and sticking it down with silicone glue.

Hello everyone,

Well wasn't I a brave little crafter today! I decided this card must not have kraft card stock, as I have used it on most of my previous cards. But I ended up being especially brave and using acetate!

The ticket is a free digi stamp from Marit, she has loads of free digis go over and check them out, she also makes the most amazing cards. I just love this little image, it is such fun to colour this little fellows in and look at his cute little frog!

I'm quite pleased with the little puddle he is stood in, I drew it and then cut it out by hand. I have used one of my Tim Holtz distressing ink pads to ink the edge of it :)

Well even though it doesn't actually feel like summer here today in the UK (even though it is the longest day!) my card is a summer holiday card! Another gorgeous image from Polly craft I had forgotten him (can you believe it!) I was just looking through all my digi images and found him and thought how perfect he is for this card!

Hi all,

I had fun playing with this cute little image from Pollycraft it is a free digi image and I just love it! For all the challenges I'm entering this card in please see the end of this post.

I was trying to make him look like a blue tit, but I'm not sure if perhaps his cute little face is a little dark?!
I used this cute paper with little bird cages on it which is new from a company I hadn't heard of before 'First addition' and it's called bird song.

I have added dimension to the image by layering the head and flower with silicone glue.

I really appreciate your comments so please leave me one to let me know what you think.

WOOHOO!

I'm very excited about this!

I made the top 3 over  at Polly craft challenges (biggest smile on my face)
It's for the card below with the cute teddy on it.

Sorry I have been a little quiet the last week or so, I have been mega busy. Firstly I had another 'commission' my sister regularly orders 10 cards in one go which do take a little time to do. Secondly I spent 2 full days on a first aid course last week, which included homework. I have done the course several times before and I was pleasantly surprised how much I remember, think of my on Friday I have my assessment.

Will be back soon with a card

You make me smile

The challenges I'm entering this card in are listed at the end of this post.

This is another card that I have made using lots of bits from my stash, I'm trying to use my stash to compensate for all the buying of craft stuff I keep doing! I have had this digi image from Pollycrafts for a while and never used it. Of course I coloured the image using my copics. The cute little 'you make me smile' sentiment ticket was a free digi from Marit she has loads of them over on her blog go check them out.

I have tried a little bit of hand stitching on this card, I really would like the sew easy tool from we r memory keepers as it is much quicker then paper piercing then stitching.

I am a complete convert to digi stamps since I discovered Pollycrafts digi images, they are all sooooo cute. They are great for colouring with my copics. The paper I used on this card is from a paper pad I have had for a few years (I'm embarrassed to say) and never used!

I have never made my own buttons before but I had a go for the buttons on this card and they turned out quite well.
