A couple of cards, both of which are Competition entries (Dawns Crafy Cards) and Jammi Panda Crafters

The above card was one of my competition entries, this time one of my Facebook friends regularly has a card swop with professional sponsers. It was to try and win set of stamps, very kindly sponsered by Sue Wilson. The challenge was to make a card using Sue's favourite colours of Teal Black & White. I was very pleased and enjoyed, such alot making the card,but obviously unhappy that I didnt win. The card size is an 8 x 8 inch with the fold on the DL fold/score line on any score board. The stamped image is from Lily of the Valley and coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers (on the skin only). All the leaves, the flower shapes and the scalloped square teal coloured card were cut with Spellbinders dies. All the items used in this make are from my own stock.

Jammi Panda Crafting...

The next lot of photos are of another challenge make, this time for a Facebook group
called Jammi Panda Crafting. Ive got a lot of friends on there and we are actually
meeting up, as a group very soon and I cant wait to meet everyone of those wonderful
friends face to face. Its also going to be so relaxing for me to be out and away from
home even if just for a short break. 
Anyway, back to the card, the challenge was to use all of the elements sent from boss
lady Fee, (Head Panda as we all call her) lol. The elements were sheets of papers and
images for decoupage or just usage as we wish. The only added item we had to use
was acetate. I used my acetate behind the stars to make them move!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Blog Challenge June 2012

Morning peeps....well yet again another blog challenge lol, seriously I love
 making the cards for these challenges as it gives me something to focus on
that is different than making a card to order or for one of the family members.
This weeks Kraftin Kimmies challenge is to make a card to the same or very
simular layout to the sketch that they have set using one of their stamps.
As I have a few of their stamps, which are all lovely and cute so I had trouble
deciding which one to use!! I decided on using "Friends are for Hugging" and
then coloured her in using my pro & flexmarkers. I then cut around her image
and slightly curved the whole of her image to give a feeling of depth to the image.
She was then glued into place using Pinflairs glue gel. The 2 different types of
lace was added to the card and all was securely fixed on place. The sentiment and
flowers were the last things to be glued into place.

I have entered this card into the following blog challenge:

Polkadoodles Blog Challenge Summer Scene Theme Wk 24

Challenge time over at www.polkadoodles.blogspot.co.uk, this time for a Summer Scene theme....

Ive chosen to use the Candy Doodles cdrom from www.polkadoodles.co.uk for the image and used both Flexmarkers & Promarkers for the colouring and all the papers and the sentiment circles are from the Pen & Circle mini cdrom collection(again from www.polkadoodles.co.uk but not available at all anymore as it is a limited edition mini cdrom and magazine). Ive added a few faux pearls, along the front in 2 different shades of red to compliment the strawberries on the papers. The overal effect of this triple twisted easel is well complimented with the lime green pinks and reds of the papers.
I have entered this card into the following challenge:

Long time no blog!!

My apologies for not blogging for a few weeks again, Ive just not had time!! 
Well Ive been busy getting ready for my last craft fair as Im giving up driving
and selling my car. Its a case of having to due to my failing health.
Looking on the bright side, that will enable me to concentrate on my commission
orders and the blog challenges I take part in, that is to either be a guest or full time
designer for that blog or to win prizes .
I thought I would share two of the cards that Ive busy making (that is inbetween
falling alseep whilst crafting or on the laptop thinking of the verses that were needed)
lol...


A competition entry for a blog,
to win sets of stamps, entry requirements
were to use Teal, White and Black

Diddy Doodles blog Challenge for June is "Teenager"

Hiya from my mums blog, Im Tia and Im on the design team for Diddy Doodles and I enjoy making cards, it makes me feel so relaxed as most of the time is spent deciding how to layout all the items.

This month I decided to use the Prettty Tuff cdrom from www.polkadoodles.co.uk which is all boys stuff as in all the charactors are boys, with tractors, cars, trucks and some sporty stuff on it. The papers on the disc are lovely though and they compliment the images

I chose to use a boy called Jay and the skateboard, both of which I coloured in using my mums promarkers and flexmarkers on his face. I made the easel card using just one piece of A4 card, covering the bottom with blue holographic card. Every item I used was from my mums stock.

This card is used on the diddydoodles blog challenge for children upto the age of 16 at:

I hope you like the card, Love Tia x

Anything Goes Guest Design Team Blog Challenge for May 2012

As a Guest Designer for Creative Craft Challenges2:

Wow, Im really honoured to be chosen as a guest designer for
Creative Craft Challenges Blog
and Im really excited!!!  My first chance at this honour for which I
spent weeks deciding what to make for the challenge of
"Anything Goes", sponsered by Love to Stamp, so the prize is fantastic.

I, decided after a long while of thinking, to decorate a paper bag and gift tag
so it can be used as a gift bag.
I, obviously only decorated the one side of both the tag and the bag.
For start off, I cut the backing paper out of a piece of my own stock of 12x12
papers into the large scalloped circle and topped it with a Me to You Bear topper.
I then cut some green felt with a new Marianne Design cutting die in a lattice effect
curved border, again using my Grande Calibur. I had to roll the felt through 3 times
before it finally cut but the effect is beautiful. This is one die that I will be using often.
I then glued these in place on the bag under and to the left of the Me to You topper,
added a stick on 2 layered butterfly in yellow and black, glued 3 different sized,
different shades of green buttons on to the bag following the line of the cutting die.
The final touch is the orange and ivory flower which again, is from my own stock.
The tag was made in the very same way apart from the sentiment topper, which
was cut from a die simular to Spellbinders and I used Anita's silver coloured peel off's
to spell out "For You". The butterfly on the tag is a white stick on, from the same pack
as the yellow&black one. 
This make was completely out of my comfort zone as Id never decorated anything other
than a card before, so Im a pure example of "Anything Goes" lol, try it once in a while,
its fun!!!! I hope you like as much as I do xx

This bag and tag was made for the following:
