Some beautiful and endlessly gorgeous ribbons for you....

Hiya peeps,

A halfway reminder for you on behalf of Crafting Musketeers Challenge #27, the theme is Anything Goes.

My make for this challenge is a card that I made quite a while ago when I couldnt talk to you as much as I wasnt very well.

I used a Stamps Away clear stamp called "The Campervan" backing it with bright orange card from Papermill Direct, (loads of other colours available) 

Crafty Ribbons are sponsoring this months Challenge and the prize will be a selection of ribbons being sent to the winner of the Challenge.

All of the card used in this card is from Papermill Direct.. The Tangerine & White Swiss Dot Grosgrain Ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons based in Dorset and have a fantastic range of different types and colours of ribbons and a full range of buttons some of which match the ribbons.

A bright & colourful card using Lacy Sunshine

Hiya peeps,

A colour challenge for you today, from  Graph It Challenge week 27 where the theme is SHADES OF PINK, YELLOW or ORANGE Such gorgeous summer combos! 

My card is made using a digi image from Lacy Sunshine called Patchy Pennys Patchwork Apples

(That link will take you to the image direct and then you can browse the shop if you wish. 

I made a largish card again, roughly 8x8 inch with ribbons from Crafty Ribbons, the colours are:

Iris and Regal Purple Ive placed loads of different colours of flowers on and I think that the yellow and bright orange card die cuts show off lovely against the Spring Green base card.

I am entering this card in to the following challenges:

The Ribbons Girl Challenge, theme is Everything Goes with an Image

Graph It Colouring Challenge wk 27 theme is Pink, Yellow or Orange

Crafty Ribbons 123 Challenge... Bicycles with Ribbons!!!

Hiya peeps,

For this months challenge over at our lovely Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog where the theme this time is Bicycles!!! (Which is the theme I chose because mainly the Tour De France is ongoing).

I chose to make a Christmas card using this cute eskimo rubber stamp that   I have from Eskimo on a Bicycle (retired so unavailable) (click on the link to see other fantastic rubber stamps from LOTV).
Well, as it is a Christmas Card I wanted to keep to the same colour theme of pale blues and whites., very contemporary which I love. (Dont get me wrong I love the traditional colours of red & green with gold or silver).

The EXCLUSIVE to Crafty Ribbons ribbon is called Santa's Little Helpers Christmas Ribbon Collection

of which you will find more ribbons very similar on the website too.

Amanda from Mo's Digital Pencil

Hiya peeps

A quick post today to show you a card that I have made using Amanda from Mo's Digital Pencil and just followed my own idea on how to colour her and the cats. The white & pink Morlaix Cotton Lace which is a delicate French cotton lace named after the charming French town of Morlaix and is available from Crafty Ribbons  
Everything else is from my own stash

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

A Christmas Fairy Twinkles

Hiya peeps

Yes a Christmas Card for today, one that I made for both a Facebook Challenge and a Challenge Blog.

I have used Fairy Twinkles from Make It Crafty who is also available as part of a set.
Shes a gorgeous digi to colour and I used a variety of pens to colour her all in different shades of blues.
The backing paper I chose to back it with is a 12x12 inch paper by Craft Creations Ltd and is called Frosty Winter Blue (SR319P). Mounted onto a plain blue card from Papermill Direct, I felt as though I didnt need to add anything else apart from the sentiment. To add the sentiment on to the same box as the digi, would have been wrong., so I made another box to match the first one then added a "Merry Christmas". To finish I added a piece of the same background to the inside for the verse and hand written note to be placed,

Flower Power for Inspiration

Good Morning peeps

An inspirational blog for you today on behalf of Crafty Ribbons.

Many of you might not remember the Flower Power era of the 1960s I was born then and being the younger of 4 kids I was brought up listening to the fabulous music and lovely clothes (only on my eldest 2 sisters though!) lol

The card is made using baby pink cardstock from Papermill Direct and topped with backing (very flowery) papers from my own stash (but being used for a 1960s card I wouldnt have it any other way). The charms and the metallic card used for the alphabet die cuts are also from my stash.
The purple cardstock used for the image topper is also from Papermill Direct and the image itself is called Festival Lily from All Dressed Up Stamps. (The link will take you to the Etsy shop).
The Yellow Ric Rac ribbon is available from Crafty Ribbons and the Hot Pink Sentiment ribbon is perfect to enhance any card for almost any occasion, again from Crafty Ribbons.

I hope you like this card, you can find the Crafty Ribbons Inspirational Blog Post by clicking HERE
