DT card for Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog, 16th June

Hiya peeps

Today I am showing you a card that Ive made for my DT post for
Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog where the theme for the "bows" team,

of which I am on, is a favourite of everyones, being Anything Goes!!

I have made a smallish card using part of a kit from 

Lelli-Bots, Daisy Daisy toppers & papers kit, a piece of Spring Green A3 

250gsm smooth card from Papermill Direct, 

10mm Emerald coloured Grosgrain from Crafty Ribbons and of

course "Garden Brights" buttons also from Crafty Ribbons

I used one topper (it has a thin silver effect foiled border just in from the edge)

and using foam pads (2mm thick) stuck it to one of the backing papers and

then stuck the animal shaped buttons on (well a bird, a butterfly & a snail)

The ribbon is just one small strip & a smallish bow stuck down to the strip.

I hope you like this card & can find the inspiration to join in with our

Anything Goes challenge which can be found HERE

DT card for Not Just Cards Challenge Blog.. June 2016

Hiya peeps

Todays post is all about the latest challenge over at

Not Just For Cards

where the sponsors, All Dressed Up are offering a fab prize of

2 free digital images of your choice. 

I decided to make a largish 8 x 8 inch card and followed a sketch

on another blog. All the items used are from my own stash and all

cutting dies are from Spellbinders or Tonic Studios.

I coloured the image with alcoholic marker pens and Stabilo fineliner

pens.

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

DT card for Crafting Musketeers #38 Wedding theme

Hiya peeps

Well its challenge time again over at 

Crafting Musketeers Challenge Blog

where the theme is Weddings and is sponsored by

The Stamping Boutique

who have generously provided us DT members the digi stamps

for us to colour & use on our projects.

My choice of digi is 

#256 Church Background but we called it The Wedding Chapel

and I decided to make a "K" card with the Church being the main image

and on the reverse I used an embellishment of a bridal couple 

& 2 die cut gold card hearts.

I used the following in the making of this card:

The ribbon is called With Love and is part of the Wedding Owls Collection.

All of the coloured cardstock is from Papermill Direct

Digi image of the church is from The Stamping Boutique

Scalloped circle opening was cut using Grand Scalloped Die Set by Spellbinders

available from most craft suppliers

The 2 gold cardstock die cut hearts & the wedding couple were bought off ebay

The 2 decorative paper hearts on the front were cut using a die from Joy Crafts and is available from most craft suppliers

All other items used were from my own stash

My turn on the Inspiration Blog for Crafty Ribbon (2 June 2016)

Hiya peeps

A little late in the day but at least it is still the same day as I

posted this card, minus the Father's Day sentiment on this

card, on the Crafty Ribbons Inspiration Blog

To tell you about a new challenge starting over at

Crafty Ribbons today and the theme, chosen by me, is

Masculine/Transport but no women on the creation.

For the Inspiration Blog I have made a Steam Train card

using cardstock from Hunkydory as the background

but the main thing of interest is the stamped image

of a fabulous Steam Train by Stamps Away

to which I think is now discontinued.

(Loads of fabulous stamps are still available though).

I also did not include the Father's Day sentiment earlier today.

                                                                            

The main focus for this blog post today is the ribbon that I have used.

It is an off white but not the bridal white, it is 

9mm grosgrain printed with WITH LOVE with a stitch effect edge and hearts.  Printed on one side only

This ribbon is EXCLUSIVE to Crafty Ribbon

DT make for Crafty Ribbons Challenge - theme is Masculine/Transport NO Women in the make.....

Good Morning peeps

Time for a new challenge at Crafty Ribbons, to which I have chosen,

is Masculine/Transport NO women but the main thing is to add Ribbon!!!

For my card, a landscape A4 is made by folding an A4 white linen effect

250gsm card from Papermill Direct. (I buy online direct from the 

manufacturer and you can buy in small packs). 

The gold foiled dotty spotty cardstock is from my own stash but Im sure

its an old Hunkydory stock. I matt & layered the stamped image of 

Traction Engine by Stamps Away on to layers of matt gold 

& mirri gold, angled it to give the card a different layout 

than just placed straight on in my opinion.

Going back to the spotty dotty gold foiled, I stuck the 

lighter piece of card on to the larger one and then added a piece of 

10mm gold grosgrain ribbon and stuck it to the rear of the cardstock,

using sellotape at both top & bottom. After the

background cardstock was stuck down to the white base card

I added the ribbon knot which is glued to its place, using

silicone glue gel and that is it!!! 

The card doesn't need anything else due to the spotty dotty 

background so take a small bit of inspiration from my card....

Enter the challenge.... just dont forget to use ribbon, not lace 

or twine, just ribbon.

DT card for Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog

Hiya peeps

Todays 3rd make is my DT card for Crafty Ribbons challenge blog

where this weeks theme, by the Bows Team, is to use 

both Ribbons and Lace!!!

I chose to use ribbons, lace and buttons, all of which are from

Crafty Ribbons

I made a large 8x8 inch base card, topped with a lovely green toned backing

paper that I found, added the dotty embossed card, that I had

already embossed. I then added the ribbons, 40mm Lemon Grosgrain,

Claremont Cotton Lace - Jaune and Lemon from the 7mm Silk Ribbon Stash Bag

and the buttons are Basics 2 Go Buttons - Candy and Basics 2 Go Buttons -Stars

Basics 2 Go Buttons are colour themed assorted buttons, 

mixed sizes types and texture buttons, No frills they are just 

loose buttons sold by weight and put into a grip seal bag.

I decided to use up an image that I have had coloured for a while now,

and shes called "Wasn't Me" A Mischievous Teenage Girl by Kenny K Stamps

topped on to a basic red card stock, corner rounded cut & stuck to an embossed

piece of scrap white card and die cut, corner rounded cut to match. 

The "Thank You" die cut was just glued into a place that 

I thought suited the layout. 

Thats about it! I hope you like the card as much as I do, a bright & colourful

Thank you card for that special birthday present perhaps?? ;)

Hiya peeps

Today I have the card make for Crafting Musketeers Challenge #37

of which we, as a Design Team, were given a choice of digis to use and 

I chose the wonderful Pirate from Sunsational Stamps as I think

little boys love to play with water and boats in the summer but

also love to play with swords dressed as pirates at home or 

at birthday parties.

Coloured with alcoholic marker pens, adding a pair of googly eyes

(just to add some extra fun for a 4 year old)
The map is downloaded from Google, using restrictions for copyright usage.
Ric Rac ribbon is from my own stash as is the small sentiment, the number 4
the fun childrens pirates background papers and the googly eyes

I hope you like the card
