FAVOURITE SPORT/ACTIVITY

Good Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we're asking you to share projects containing your favourite sport/activity.

I have been playing tennis for over 20 years.  I play twice a week and have recently started pickleball as well.  I made this card for a tennis friend who is recovering from an operation.  As I didn't have anything connected to tennis I bought some mages from Etsy here, chose one most suited to my friend, and added a sentiment on the pc.  After a search through my snippets boxes I found two pieces that went reasonably well together and added ribbon to the joining.  Kraft card has been used for the mats and a few pearls added.

I hope you can join us.  Thank you for visiting and I will be back on Saturday.

SYMPATHY/THINKING OF YOU/GET WELL

Good Morning,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the theme is Thinking of You/Sympathy/Get Well and there's always Anything Goes too.

For my DT card I have used Hero Arts Leafy Vines stamp.  I've had this for years and never used it so thought it was a good opportunity.  It was heat embossed in white onto a piece of DP although it came out a bit more creamy than white.  I've added a few pearls and the sentiment has been stamped in brow and is from a Simon Says Stamp set.  Very simple, but I didn't think it need anything else for this type of card.

Highlight Crafts three die sets plus reflections and paper are the prizes

FAVOURITE HALLOWEEN COLOURS

 Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking to see projects containing your favourite Halloween colours.

I don't make Halloween cards, but purple is my favourite colour so I've put that alongside orange as these are two of the colours I associate with Halloween.  

I have used a stencil and die set from Pink Fresh Studio called Floral Field.  With this set you stencil first and then die cut.  When I first did it I thought the stencil wasn't right with some of the lines being a bit wonky, but when you use the die it cuts everything to how it should be.  I've not done it that way before.

I adhered the die onto a Memory Box pinpoint leafy cover plate and used a sentiment from Craftwork cards.

I hope you can join us.  I will be back on Saturday.  Have a good day.

WOODLAND CRITTERS

Hello Everyone,

I recently won the CAS Christmas Card challenge and Loll kindly invited me to be Guest Designer for the September challenge where the theme is Woodland Critters. 

I decided to use my Simon Says Stamp deer die and placed him in a window with a snippet of pink snowflake dsp behind.  The window die is from CraftAddiction UK.  I have coloured him with copics and used a snippet of blue for his scarf and also the sentiment which is from Spellbinders.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

Morning Everyone,

Time for a new challenge at Allsorts and Brenda has chosen the them of All Creatures Great and Small and there is always Anything Goes as well.

I seem to have taken the theme litterally and used all sorts of creatures with my MFT stamp set called Birth-Yay, apart from the little bird which is from another MFT set.   I have coloured with copics and die cut them out and added them to a Lawn Fawn large Happy Birthday which I have cut out twice, first in a dark green and then added a lighter green just offset.

There are 2 prizes of stamps, stickers and scenescapes from Lavinia Stamps for the winners.

I hope you can join us and if you want to pop over here you can see the inspiration from the rest of the team.

Thank you for visiting and have a good weekend.

FAVOURITE WILD ANIMAL?

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and the theme is "Your Favourite Wild Animal".

I have chosen a Giant Panda and made a bright card with this little cutie.  Pandas always look so gentle sat there eating bamboo and their fur looks so soft and cuddly.

For my card I have used an image from a Simon Says Stamp set called Celebrating You,  coloured with copics to match the colours of the strip of paper and added a die cut sentiment from MFT.

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.

LAYERS OF BEAUTY

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you have had a good weekend.  The weather here has been much more bearable than of late.

I have used a Stampin Up set for this card,  which consists of stamp, stencil and die, called Layers of Beauty.  

I stamped onto smooth cardstock and used my Altenew mini ink cubes through the stencil, die cut and added it to my topper which has a snippet of yellow flowered DSP to match the flowers.  The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and from a Penny Black Sprinkles and Smiles sentiment set.
