Have a Heart at MAWTT

Me again! It’s my second post of the day and my second challenge as GDT with the MAWTT girls and I would like to thank them as they have made me feel very welcome. 

It’s time for a new challenge and this week it’s:

HAVE A HEART

The DT were lucky enough to be given some images from the sponsor for this challenge, Stitchy Bear Stamps, to work with and I’ve used two of them on my card LoveUBug and Heart Wreath.

I started off by inking the edges of four squares of red patterned paper (from a Forever Friends Xmas Pad) and mounting them onto brown parcel paper and then onto a scalloped 8x8 card blank. I coloured the digi images with ProMarkers and then cut them out. I decoupaged the little love bug (although it doesn’t show in the picture) before mounting onto a craft card die cut, adding both that and the wreath to the card base. Lastly a bit of stamping in the corners, a couple of metal charms, some liquid pearls and some Glossy Accents and that’s Hubby’s Valentine’s card finished.

Shame he will not like it…..he likes very CAS cards and this one will be a bit busy for him.

I’ll be back later with another Valentine’s card for the Sarah Hurley Challenge, but if the one above is for hubby who will I give the next one too, lol.

I’d also like to enter my card into the following challenges:

• Stamping with the Dragon – Anything Goes

• Lollipop Crafts – Anything Goes
• One Stitch at a Time – Use a Digi

Ps Don’t forget to pop across to MAWTT to see what the DT and GDT have created this week.

Fairies and Angels at PCJ

You are going to get bored of me today. I’ve got two DT posts and a GDT post to share with you. And if I get a few minutes peace and quiet to sneak off to my craft room this afternoon I’ll have one last idea for the LIM challenge to share with you.

Anyway back to the matter in hand it’s time for a new challenge over at Paper Crafting Journey and our theme this week is:

FAIRIES AND ANGELS

 

We were very very lucky to be given an image to play with from our sponsors Emerald Faerie and I chose the adorable Isabella. The winner of this challenge is going to be very lucky also and will receive a prize of two digis of their choice from the Emerald Faeries store.

This week I’ve kept CAS for my card to showcase the wonderful digi.  The digi has been coloured with ProMarkers with a dash of glitter on her wings and hat. I matted the image onto some Forever Friends patterned paper and some pale green card. The eagle eyed among you may notice that the sewing machine has taken a hammering from me (again!). I’ve added a simple border made from the same pale green card punched with a Martha Stewart half daisy border punch, two pieces of ribbon and a circular sentiment from Pink Gem, which I glossed up with some Glossy Accents and must not forget a gem in each corner for a bit more sparkle.

Please pop across to Paper Crafting Journey and take a peak at what the rest of the DT have made to inspire you.

I’ll be back a bit later with my MAWTT GDT card.

MAWTT GDT

Morning everyone just a quick little post as me and Little One are off to my parents for the day. I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of three guest designers at Moving Along With The Times for the next month (whoop whoop) so without further I’m here to share my first GDT card.

This challenge the theme is:

BLOOMING MARVELLOUS

So just make sure there are flowers on your image, your backing paper or your embellishments (or like me on all three).  The challenge is being sponsored by Bunny Zoe’s, pop over to the MAWTT blog to see more details and take a look at what the other GDT and DT have made.

As I’m trying to use up my massive stash of patterned papers I have treated myself to a couple of new digis. This is one I picked up at The Paper Shelter. I’ve coloured her with ProMarkers and added her to an easel card covered with Core’dinations card and some paper from a Forever Friends set. I’ve also used my MFT Border Die, my favourite CC designs 5 Petal Flower Die, a Pink Gem circle sentiment, a Personal Impression sentiment and a bit of bling.

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

• Pollycraft Monday – Warm it Up (Flowers bloom in warm weather)
