DT post for Crafting Musketeers #41 theme is Back To School

Welcome to the new challenge at Crafting Musketeers where the

new blog challenge for this month is sponsored by the fantastic Crafty Ribbons.

#41 Back To School with Sponsors Crafty Ribbons

For my card I was adiment that I wanted to use an image from the

wonderful The Paper Shelter and its called "Back To School".

I thought that she was so cute and just like some of the young children that live near me.
A fab 8x8 inch card, backing papers are freebies
downloaded from Trimcraft, ribbon & all buttons are
from Crafty Ribbons.
The sentiment was die cut using a Tonic Studio's die set as
was the oval shapes for the pre coloured image.

DT card for Crafting Musketeers Challenge 40

Hiya peeps

Well, how forgetful am I??? This should have been posted 

2 weeks ago but you still have time to enter with 12 days 

left to enter the challenge over at 

Crafting Musketeers #40 Anything But A Card Challenge

I decided to decorate a small MDF plaque using the googly ghost.

I painted it black first it using Indigo Blu Gee-Sso Good! paint & then printed the 

digi image on to smooth printer paper at 160gsm weight. 

I coloured it using my alcoholic marker pens with the input

of a few metallic pens too, especially around the eyes & the 

all over the word "Boo".  I have only decorated the one side

yet it looks good as it is - do you agree??

The ribbon is Halloween Ribbon - 10mm printed with ghosts & pumpkins

from Crafty Ribbons

Thats it for now, I should be back in a couple of days with a card or two.

The images that Lisa produces are completely unique and are a real delight to work with! There are 2 images of the winners choice up for grabs with plenty to choose from!

I decided to make a normal A5 portrait style card using the funny

"Curtsey". Pencil coloured in oranges & greens with the smallest amount of black in her shoes & hair.

The base cardstock is from Papermill Direct 

and is in a silvery blue colour (for a change),

the spring green coloured card is also from Papermill Direct.

All other cardstock is from my own stash

Both of the ribbons and all 3 buttons are all from Crafty Ribbons   

The Happy Birthday sentiment was cut in white linen effect from a die set out of my own stash.

I hope you like the finished card.

The Crazy Challenge #229 - Birthday Cards

DT post for Crafty Ribbons, theme is Bicycle

Hiya peeps

Welcome to the new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons

where the theme, chosen by me is Bicycle(s) but dont

forget to add the all important ribbon.....

For my take on this theme I chose to make a tag, 

so I could pass it on to one of my sisters (as her husband is a 

regular Bicycle rider and his birthday is this next month).

I used a Tonic Studios die set called 

Love From  

(available at other places but this set I found on Ebay UK)

Its a beautiful tag set and I used a linen effect white cardstock

from Papermill Direct to cut the tag out, not using any of the other 2 dies in the set, leaving a full centre so the bicycle die could be cut

out and glued in to place in the centre.  I glued a white die cut 

"happy birthday" just above....

The black silk ribbon I used was one length off the red silk from the 

7mm silk ribbon stash bag

I hope you like what I have made & that you join in with our challenge

DT card for Crafty Ribbons July 14th 2016

Hiya peeps

Its time for the new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons where the theme

is "Christmas with Ribbon"

My make for this challenge is a 6x6 inch card with the
Classic Christmas - MC Snowflake (9mm) ribbon
just a single line of ribbon using a slit in the fold of the base card to
thread the ribbon through so it can be secured on the inside front at both ends.
The teal glittered card was cut using brand new release items
from Tonic Studios and its called Candy Cane Frame Die Set (1371E). You can
just about make out the candy canes with a bow on them. What I did though also,
was to cut another set of the dies but using silver mirri card and then I mounted
the silver centre piece, being the rectangle complete with stocking in the middle of
the teal die cut frame. I love the whole clean setting that the glitter frame and
single row of ribbon gives to the base white linen effect card.
Watch out for the other 2 new frames in the near future.......................

DT card for Crafting Musketeers where the theme is Babies!!!

Hiya peeps

Its time for a challenge theme of "Babies"....

You can find that challenge on our
Crafting Musketeers #39

to see our gorgeous projects from the DT.

The white card stock is from Papermill Direct, the ribbons are

from our fabulous sponsor: Crafty Ribbons and are:
Baby Ribbon - Washing Line Blue (25mm width)
and
Baby Ribbon - Stripe Blue (10mm width)

The image is from the lovely Di's Digi Stamps and its

called Baby Bear Scales. Its a darling image to colour using my alcoholic marker pens.
I matt & layered different backing papers, all in beautiful shades of blues, with, the 2 main top
papers in baby boy paper.
The white paper, that the image is printed on is just plain but not the cheapest,
photocopier paper. At the moment I have used is Office Depot colour printing paper
(from Viking Office Supplies).l found the best way to order is to buy at least 3 - 5 reams
(packets) at a time.
The rest of the items on this card are from my own stash.
Im so pleased how this 8x8 inch card has turned out.
I would like to see your comments below ;) x
