I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges (I think I meet the criteria!):Basic Grey Challenges Week 12 - Animals
Stash used:
Square card blank from Craftwork Cards
Basic Grey Archaic papers
Basic Grey Archaic stamped images (on kraft paper)
Brown fibres from ribbon stash stapled onto card - first time I've used staples on a card and I love the look of them ;-)
Card candy dots from Craftwork Cards (centres of distressed punched circles)
Not only did Ali send me the fab dino images but also sent me this lovely card...
Here it is, 12p for this...
And it works a treat. collects the juice in a bowl beneath too!!! Much better than my old wooden thingie and gets more juice out than using my hands. 12p well spent I think.
Can't wait to get it out of the tin and try a slice, or two... Thank you for the fab recipes Debbie xxx
I have used: a square card blank from Craftwork Cards; Core'dinations Gemstones cardstock (in the sale at The Glitter Pot); MME papers (freebie paper stack with this month's Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine); my new Tilda with Birdcage stamp in the sale at Dies to Die For coloured with Promarkers; gorgeous sentiment stamp by Paper Makeup from Quixotic Paperie; I used my Fiskars scallop edge punch; 2 pieces of pale pink ribbon from my stash; XCut Retro flower punch and last but not least 3 card candy dots again from Craftwork Cards. Hope you like it x
So, stash I have used: a square card blank from Craftwork Cards, gorgeous baby boy papers by Imaginisce, blue ribbon from my stash, pale blue card candy from Craftwork Cards, my lovely much loved and used bunny stamp from Sugar Nellie/Funky Kits, a blue scallop oval and white plain oval for matting/layering bought from ebay an age ago (I don't have fancy cutting gear - sob, sob, poor me!). The strip of dotty paper was cut with a Fiskars edging punch. Thanks for looking x
I have used a large square card blank and lots of gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Earth Love papers. The kraft scallop circles are made by Craftwork Cards but I bought them from the Glitter Pot (bargain in the sale) as is the very cute butterfly (also a sale bargain). The pale green card with fancy edge was a freebie from Dies to Die For that came with a recent order (thank you Tracy!). The ivory dew drops (flower centres) are from Sarah's Cards. The ivory satin ribbon was from my stash. I used punches for the scallop circle cut from flowery paper and the flowers, both by Woodware. I have distressed the straight edges of the papers with a pair of scissors after seeing the technique on the brilliant Poppet's Place blog (cheers Poppet x). It sometimes feels weird making a card with just paper and card but I love the effect, hope you like it too x
Next is my ragu sauce for the lasagne. I always think the taste improves if you make it the day before and make up the lasagne on the day (also saves time on the day too!!!). I use a recipe by Rachel Allen, very simple but oh so yummy. I am also making garlic bread (butter, parsley and loads of garlic smeared all over a baguette and baked in the oven).
And this is the cake after my boys got their mitts on it...
So tomorrow I need to make tomato bruschetta for starters, make up the lasagne and garlic bread, put together a creamy lemon dessert using limoncello - yum yum. Can't wait for dinner!!!
I have made a Valentine's Day card for my lovely OH without using the usual pink/red shades. I used a scallop edged card, pale blue Glitterations cardstock, kraft paper, some card candy dots, creamy brown inkpad, XCut flower punch, alphabet stamps from Studio G, a cute owl charm and an even cuter owl stamped image from Pink Gem, I love him! The owl is coloured with Promarkers (sandstone, cinnamon, ivory, blush and cool aqua) and I added a few dabs of Stickles Icicle glitter glue to the little stars around the image. Thanks for looking x
Here's the card I made. I used a scallop square card, some gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Earth Love papers (it was hard to choose which ones cos they are all beautiful!) and a cute Forever Friends stamp that was free with a Docrafts magazine. I coloured the image with Promarkers, cut him out and stuck him onto a small piece of Bazzill Swiss Dots card inked round the edge with Colorbox Creamy Brown Fluid Chalk Inkpad. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and I've also inked the edge. I added some dinky cross stiches in the corners of the stripy paper. Hope you like it and thank you for a gorgeous sketch to follow x
So, here's the card I made following the sketch. I used some pretty Cosmo Cricket Early Bird papers, piece of Glitterations cardstock punched with a Fiskars edge punch, a piece of cream satin ribbon and an oh so cute teddy bear stamped image from Elzybells coloured with Promarkers. Thank you for a lovely sketch x
So, here's my card for the challenge. I've used a scallop edged card, some gorgeous Basic Grey Nook & Pantry paper, a super cute bear image from Elzybells coloured with Promarkers, some paper (red) and fabric (green) flowers, big pearl brads for the flower centres, I cut the leaves with a Woodware punch from Bazzill card and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. Hope you like it and thanks for a great sketch x
Here's my take on the sketch. I used my usual scallop edged square card, some gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Early Bird papers and an ultra cute Forever Friends stamp coloured with Promarkers.
Thank you for a lovely sketch to follow x
And on the brand new Craftwork Cards Blog the challenge is to use their fab card candy on a project.
So here is my card, I used beautiful papers from the Nook & Pantry range, some cream satin ribbon, a sentiment circle from Craftwork Cards (backed with a scallop circle cut using a Quikutz die), flowers cut from Glitterations cardstock with a Woodware punch and lots of ivory dewdrops from Sarah's Cards. So it's very simple and understated, like the photo above I think. Thanks for a fab challenge x
For the ribbon on the cupcake card I knotted a piece of scrap cream ribbon over the top of the knot of the brown ribbon to add a different look.
I did the same with the ribbon on this card - this is my fave paper, love those rows of birds x
As you know I LOVE easel cards so had to make another one...
Additonal bits are paper flowers, black card candy dot, brad, mini yellow plastic tag, dew drops, heart charm. I used a Woodware punch to cut the flower shapes and a sentiment stamp from Elzybells.
A beautiful ATC holder (god I love this, it's soooo clever)...
A box of beautiful flowers...
An altered jar of pink paper flowers and an altered matchbox of charms...
Several packs of beautiful stamps and a pack of gorgeous BG rub-ons with bling...
And last but not least, 2 packs of 6x6 cardstock, a pot of Stickles Frosted Lace Glitter Glue and some goodies for my much negelcted nails...
Well, how well did I do!!! Thank you soooo much Mel, I love everything xxx
I absolutely had to enter this challenge to win some lovely candy from the fab Quixotic Paperie online shop! The prize is £40 of stash!!!
The card is out of my comfort zone as it is much brighter that most of the cards I make but I loved making it and am pretty proud of it.
