Office Shed–Little Claire Blog Project

Morning All. It’s my turn to share a digi stamp project over on the Little Claire Blog today. I have used the Office Shed and Seed Packet digi stamps to create a Father’s Day card for my Dad

He will love this card as he really enjoys gardening but it’s also a little joke too, as just after Father’s Day he is helping me build a new shed as the current one that was here when we moved is falling apart a bit more everyday.

Supplies:

• Image: Office Shed and Seed Packet digi stamps from Little Claire
• Sentiment: Created in Word using Grandma’s Garden Font (available from www.dafont.com)  
• Colouring Medium: Copics
  • Shed: E18, E15, E13, E11, E39 and E33
  • Sign and door handle: B99, B95 and B91
  • Plant Pots: E29, E27, E25, E23 and E21

Critter Sketch Challenge #70

This week over at Critter Sketch Challenge we have a sketch for you to follow:

Here’s my take on the sketch:

It was Fathers Day yesterday here in the UK so I used the adorable Lenny with Note from Stamp Fairy (who are our sponsors for the month of June) and added the word Daddy before printing to make a cute fathers day card for my little boy to give to my hubby.  I wanted to keep the rest of the card quite simple so coloured the image with ProMarkers, decoupaged for a bit of depth, added a ribbon and finally a little paper pleated rosette.  I even used the left over bits to decorate the inside of the card.

Fingers cross this scheduled post has worked as right now I should be enjoying a nice week away with the in-laws!

Items: All card Papermill Direct, Image from Stamp Fairy, ProMarkers, MS Scoreboard, Stickles, corner punch (sorry can’t remember make) and ribbon from stash.

Less is More – Week 19 take three

Only two more sleeps till my holiday, hurrah.  And on an even better note we are away Friday to Friday so hopefully I’ll get a few hours on my return home to have a go at next weeks LIM challenge, I would hate to miss a week...I think I have an addiction!

I have got myself up to date with all the cards I need to make including the final fathers day card which I made with this weeks challenge in mind.

I drew a faint pencil square and then stamped and embossed the sentiment on all four sides, finally adding pearls at the corner. Decided not to add anything further as I wanted to maximise the white space

I would also like to enter this card in the Paper Pretties Challenge – Single Layer Card.

Items: White 6x6 card blank, Sentiment stamp from Pink Gem, VersaFine Deep Lagoon, Clear Sparkle Embossing Powder and Pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Less is More - Week 18

Oh my where does the time go? I can't believe it's a week into June already, but a week tomorrow we go on holiday, hurrah! I made my first card for this weeks challenge at Less Is More on Tuesday evening but have only just had the chance to take a picture. Our challenge set by Mandi and Chrissie is Monochrome and this is my take on it...

 

 

I've gone with shades of teal card and ink, although in the picture the embossed detail on the letters looks black, but IRL it's dark teal!

It's taken me well over an hour to write this post! My husband has just bought himself and Xbox (as if he doesn't own enough games consoles already) and the game he playing is so distracting, but in a good way. The graphics are fantastic and it's like watching a really high quality animated film. Anyhoo, enough waffle I have a few bit's to do and then I may pop back and post my other attempt at this weeks LIM challenge.

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

CES Challenges: Clean and simple

Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge: Male theme (thanks to my follower Lisa Jane for pointing this one out to me)

Crafty Card Makers: Love the lasting kind

Sparkles Forum Challenges: Fathers Day

Item's: White A6 Card Blank, Teal card from Paper Mill Direct, Papermania brads, letters printed from word, Hessian Background Stamp from Dimension Forth, Pacific VersaColor ink pad, clear sparkle embossing powder and white gel pen.
