Its Quirky Crafts time for a Celebration.......

Hiya Peeps, 

My first design for this fabulous challenge blog, Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog where I have been given the choice of digi's from a wonderful company called Stitchy Bear Digi's & I chose Tying The Knot to use as my image for this challenge called "Celebrate". 

I coloured the image with a range of colours from Harmony alcoholic marker pens. The ribbons, Pink Congratulations, White Tying The Knot and White Mr & Mrs are all from & exclusive to Crafty Ribbons. With the white Tying The Knot ribbon & the pink Congratulations ribbon I made a pair of actual Ceremonial Wedding Knots to join the Tying The Knot and Mr & Mrs ribbons on the card. The embossed flocking on the base card was already on the card when purchased. 

You have until the 28th of each month to join in, I hope you will.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Christmas Snowflakes Reindeer in a Silhouette

Hiya peeps and a Happy New Year to you all

with my sincere thanks for all of your words of kindness

that you leave on my blog (occasionally) 

Ok, my first card of 2016 is for the new challenge over at

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - #1 Jan 2016

where the theme is always 

Anything Goes As Long As It's Christmas

As always, or as much as we can, because of our main sponsor,

we use an image from 

Bugaboo

My card, dont ask me the measurements as I used a piece of scrap card,

trimmed off the edges to make it straight and then matt & layered

silver holographic card followed by a piece of 12x12 inch backing paper

from Craft Creations. I then added the printed digi of the 

Snowflake Reindeer Silhouette

and added some mini seed beads in the colour of Blue Mist from 

Crafty Ribbons. These have been placed to look like a necklace 

and a harness of sorts. The sentiment cut in blue glitter is perfect

for this card as well as the white shiny snowflake buttons that I glued

into place on the right hand side of the card.

Im sure that even if I just used the reindeer digi on a piece of 

black card (leaving a small edge of white paper around the image) 

would suffice. 

I hope you like my card, and that you join in with our blog challenge

Sentiment Only for Crafting Musketeers Midway Reminder Challenge

Hiya peeps

A DT card today for Crafting Musketeers, using a single topper by Kanban & part of one sheet of foiled card from the same pack. Unfortunately I cant remember what the name of the kit is, just that it is from KANBAN.  The one backing sheet that I had I just with the topper and cut 2 striips each 2 inch wide gluing them to either side of the landscape side of the card base, from papermill direct. adding the 3 different layers of ribbons. The large red base ribbon and the  ribbon are from Red Happy Christmas word are both from Crafty Ribbons but I dont know where I bought the white & silver snowflakes ribbon but it is sooo gorgeous.

Snowman Character Cut Card.... For 2 Design Team's Challenge Entries

I must apologise for this post being late, Ive had problems uploading the photos
I wanted to show you. Its taken me 3 days to sort my laptop out to enable me to 
upload this post to Bloglovin' so it is visible to everyone to see that searches for it.

Hiya peeps,

Today I am showing you a card that I made just by enlarging a digi stamp from
Bugaboo and he's called Lil Snowman Star

This card was made for IWO blog challenges, both have the same end result.

It was made for the Crafty Ribbons Challenge #138 of which the theme is a HAND CUT CHARACTER or  SHAPED CARD  with ribbon and the PRIZE is a

I also made this card for a new Design Team called Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra   

It is a post with a linky for you to enter any Christmas cards that you make - the theme will always be 'anything goes' - you can use any materials, any techniques etc as long as the end result is a Christmas card.

Challenges will end at 22:00 UK time on the last day of the month.

Making the card was fairly easy. I got 2 sheets of A4 white card & made them into an 8x8in card base.
I just enlarged the snowman in Windows photo viewer which when you click on
"print" it comes up in options to print the image from one A4 size printed image
down to having 35 small prints!!
I printed this out in the A4 size but not fitting it to the page size so it was just under that. I then glued the digi image onto the base & then cut around the outer edge leaving the right hand side almost complete so it was still able to open as a card.
I used new alcohol markers from Harmony to colour snowman and added Stickles glue glitter to colour the ear muffs and the spinner top of the hanging star (well thats what I think it is) lol
The last thing to do was to add the green polka dot grosgrain ribbon. This  width is 25mm which unfortunately is not available anymore but there is a 15mm width of the same design available HERE

Hiya peeps

Yes, its our weekly time for the Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog and this week the theme is Christmas Socks!!!!! The alteration to weekly challenges is only because of Countdown to Christmas.

Your prize this week is a £10 voucher for the Crafty Ribbons Website

My card consisted of an image called Stocking Line from Bugaboo
The design is on a tent style base card made from an A4 sheet of card from Papermill Direct
Backing paper is from Kanban "Christmas Wishes" Paper pad
The sentiment is one of my own words
The ribbon is, of course, called Wash Day Ribbon - Stocking Washing from Crafty Ribbons
Image coloured in with Graph It alcoholic marker pens and the top of the stockings were
sprinkled with "Snow Dust" from Pinflair to give a glittery flakey touch & see to the card.

I hope you like this basic card (even though it doesnt look like it because of the backing paper that I used. Please ask if you would like to know anything else
