Pop It Up With Southern Girls Challenge

This fortnight at Southern Girls the theme is about popping things off your projects.

I went for the obvious and popped the image and sentiment up with foam strips.

The image is called "Baby Elf" and is from this challenges sponsor Julia Spiri

I gave the promarkers a break this time and used my copic markers instead, because I have more greens and browns in my copic collection.

I used the sketch from "Feeling Sketchy"

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and I bought it about 8 years ago  and can't for the life of me remember the name of it but it has loads of "Thinking of You" stamps in it.

Thanks loads for dropping by

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges...

Shimmering, Shakin Yay Kites

Hi I am here with you on this drizzly, cold spring day.  At least it is in my part of the world.  A perfect day for crafting on the upside.

I am sharing my Bizzy Becs DT card for this month which uses the totally versatile,

extremely cute Lawn Fawn Yay, Kites stamp and Yay, Kites Lawn Cuts

For my card I decided to make a scene shaker card. 

I stamped the kite and clouds on the card base and coloured with Shimmering H20 paints, then I cut the glitter card for the frame and adhered the acetate to it.  I then added my foam tape to the base so it couldn't be seen and poured in the sequins and flattened them out so I could stick the frame and acetate on.

I then stamped and cut the "hello" and squirrel and glued them to the top.

The pic above shows the sequins all shaken out, cute hey?

Thanks loads for joining me today and I hope I have inspired you to make a shaker card of your own

Lou.

Yay Kites

Hi, Louise here today to share with you a card made with the Lawn Fawn Yay Kites stamps and die sets.  These are available now for pre-order over at Bizzy Bec's shop.

This was my first time actually using a stamp set with a matching die and it was pretty simple.

My only tip would be use washi tape to hold the dies in place when cutting.

I coloured my images with markers and foam mounted some of them against the base of the card.

For the hills at the bottom of the card I used Stitched Hillside Borders also by Lawn Fawn

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my first post as a member of the Design Team  at Bizzy Becs :)

The Paper Shelter Animal Magic

Hi, it seems like quite a while since I have posted a creation on my blog, well that is probably because it is!  But I am here today with a bright and funky card for The Paper Shelter's Animal Magic challenge....

And now, of course, for this weeks "Animal Magic" Challenge our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a prize of $30.

But as always this is providing you have used one of their products on your card and even if you don't you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice, and believe me when I tell you their products are extremely good value and just gorgeous so do please go and visit The Paper Shelter Website and see for yourself.

Here is my card.....

I actually used OMS on this card with my pencils for the first time in ages, it just helped blend the blue in the background a bit better.  The image and the papers are both from TPS.

Thanks loads for popping by, I hope you like my card x

The Paper Shelter - Wrapped Up

I am STOKED!!!!!  I have been asked to stay on as a permanent DT member at The Paper Shelter, I am so happy to be back on board whoop whoop!
This week is Team A's turn (which I am on) and our them is All Wrapped Up, so yep in the sweltering heat of summer another winter card for me, I guess that is why the coral orange sneaked in ;)

I coloured the image Warm in the Winter with Prisma pencils, the papers are teresa Collins and I have used pearl trim from Retail Girl on Trade Me and Liquid Pearls (Blitsy Bargain) I inked the edges using Distress Inks in Broken China and Spiced Marmalade (Blitsy Bargains).  The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped with Not Quite Navy SU ink.

Thanks loads for coming by my blog today :)

SGC - Get Krafty

Hi :)
I am a little late with my post for SGC this fortnight, but here it is now.
We have kindly been provided with Saturated Canary images to play with as they are one of our sponsors for this challenge.  I have used "mousey Mo" on my card.  I am gutted as I completely stuffed up my light source on this image and there are at least 3 grrrrr. It still turned out pretty cute though I guess.....

I am going to enter this in the latest Saturated Canary Challenge which is Movie inspiration my inspiration is Mickey's Magical World" ;)

Thanks loads for popping by and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

The Paper Shelter - Winter Blues

Hi  :)  It is a totally yucky day here considering we are in the middle of summer, so it is very appropriate that I am posting the card I am about to.

If you have been following me for a while you will remember that I was on the DT for the Paper Shelter until I stepped down when I had my operation last June..... well, Shirley emailed me on Tuesday to ask if I would be able to guest DT until March. WHOOO HOOOO of course I said yes!  I love The Paper Shelter and Veronica and Pedro are so awesome.

So anyway here is my card for WINTER BLUES using the very cute "cup of cocoa".  I had to use a precoloured image as due to the time difference and the challenge going live I only had a few hours.

Thanks loads for dropping by, and thanks so much for for your wonderful comments :)  The really do make my day!

A Cuddly Buddly Commission Card

I made this card for a commission a few weeks ago but hadn't posted it yet so I thought I would share it with you today.  I used an image from Cuddly Buddly called Star Birdie. I coloured her (I am guessing it is a her) with prisma pencils and the papers are digital ones from Digital House Design and are by Jen Allyson.

I am entering this card in the following challenges.....

Tip Top Challenge - Anything Goes
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes

TPS - Rain or Shine

This week is ANYTHING GOES at The Paper Shelter challenge.  Everyones favourite theme this week so that is cool.  I have used a newish image from The Paper Shelter called "Sharing a Rainy Day" which I have coloured with Prismapencils, the papers were sent to me by my lovely friend JULIE and they are called Tickled Pink by MME.  The flowers are from my SU demo days as are the brads and punches used to punch the sentiment which I made in MS Word.

Hope you will pop over to the blog and see what the other DT ladies came up with and link up your newest creation while you are there.

Southern Girls Challenge - Black & White with a POP

At Southern Girls this fortnight we want to see your black and white cards with a pop of one colour. We have a couple of awesome sponsors, Pink Cat Studios and Sassy Studio Designs. The image I have used is from Sassy Studio Designs and I think is called Hippy Chick. I really enjoyed getting my yellow copics out for this card, I really don't use them enough and yellow really is a happy colour on cards and never fails to make you feel happy.

The sentiment was made in MS Office Word (yes I replaced the missing edition from my harddrive, and yes it cost ALOT! Especially when I had to replace PSE as well) using Caviar Dreams font and punched out using oval punches from SU.

I sure hope we see you over at SGC playing along and thanks for visiting my blog.
