Rock Boy

I was invited to be guest designer at
Do-Al(l)Kreatives for their Masculine theme
with Bugaboo sponsorship.


 Join in the challenge here:  do-allkreatives

Coloured with Copics
Dies: Spellbinders nesting
P.Paper: Northern Whimsy
Distressed edges

I decided, seeing the card was for a teenager, to use the sentiment like a jeans label, and distress the edges of the papers.

Ladybugs lunch

Join our first challenge of 2020 with a critter and check out what the design team have made to inspire you!  Here: 2craftycrittercrazies

Do ladybugs/ladybirds all look the same to you?  I guess to each other they look individual and quite different.

I used part of a panel by our fabulous sponsor Bugaboo, get it here:  ladybug-floral-collage

Sparkle Wherever

The Crafters Café theme is TicTacToe, such a fun way to get inspiration - here: crafterscafe




Bugaboo supplied the super summery image,  get it here:   bugaboostamps







I chose the diagonal line Black-PP-Yellow.  I softly coloured the background of the image with distress inks sponged. Diecut the pp and a foam sheet to act as a spacer for the shaker.  The embossing powder is sparkly too.
I like the silhouettes with the butterflies and hummingbirds attending the flowers.

Circle Die: Spellbinders

Sentiment stamp: Rosies Studio with sparkly EP

Sequins, acetate

As you can see, some sequins escaped  ;-D

Flower Thoughts

Who loves recipes?  Of course we do at the Crafters Café (wouldn't be a café without recipes right?). There are three feature items (one flower, two butterflies and three patterned papers) and once you have those, your card is half made!  The design team have provided some inspiration so check it out here: crafterscafe













And our wonderful sponsor Bugaboo have provided this image:  bugaboostamps frame-it-thinking-of-you


I printed the image out three times - once on heavy cardstock, once on printer paper and once on patterned paper.  I used the printer paper image carefully cut out to make a positive and negative mask and sponged Distress Inks colour onto the cardstock.  The patterned paper is cut out, the dress is stuck on directly, and the flower with 3D foam.  The doily and paper layered, edges distressed and stuck with 3D foam tape on top-fold card.  Butterflies are punched, inked and stuck on using 3D foam.

Calendar Girl

December brings us to the Come and Get It   NOT A CARD challenge.  Bring your ideas and share with us here: cagichallenge




This great image is from Bugaboo and is being retired ( I don't know why, it's a great image!) so if you want it you'd better be quick, here:
bugaboostampscollections/retiring-jj-garden

I got the design from an internet tutorial (Stamping it My Way - Post It Calendar notepad easel, no name  included, but thank you),  but I've moved the notepad over and added a little pen.  There is space under the fold for an inspirational thought for the new year  " One who gardens always shows hope for the future"

Charming Bird

Come and play tic-tac-toe with us at the Crafters Café! here:  crafterscafeblogchallenge


Choose any line as long as it has the middle CHARM square in it.




This great image from sponsor Bugaboo:
bugaboostamps-flower-bird

I used the line:  blue-charm-designer paper.
The image is put behind a diecut hole that has a black frame added on the front.  A doodle border is hand-drawn on the pink card.  I thought the charm looked a little like a basket with a flower in, and tied it on with scraps of blue ribbon.
