Passion for promarkers #128–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope that you are all well this morning and that Monday was good to you!  As I mentioned it was my son’s birthday so we had pizza delivered and we all sat together munching our food and watching a film – which was really nice.    My boys are definitely not my babies anymore and there won’t be many more birthdays left like this one I don’t think *sob*. 

Anyway onto the reason you are here.  It’s Tuesday so that means we have a brand new challenge for you over at passion for promarkers challenge.  This week the lovely Tracy has set the theme and she has chosen to give us a sketch to use.  You can rotate the sketch and make minor alterations but we must recognise the original sketch.  Don’t forget you must use your Letraset pens (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, tria markers or aqua markers) to qualify for our prize draw.  Here is my card using Tracy’s sketch:

and here is Tracy’s fantastic sketch:

PFP challenge 128 sketch

I decided to use the sketch to make a Christmas card for my youngest son and I used a freebie image from Pollycraft called ‘Casper silvermist – too cool for Christmas’ and coloured him with flex markers and promarkers.  The gorgeously stunning papers are bo bunny from the “snowfall collection” and the plain card is papermania from the ‘textured cardstock’ pack.  I kept the card fairly simple and just added some twine, snowflakes and pearls.  The sentiment was created on the pc.

Our sponsor this week is Sugar Nellie Stamps and the prize is yet to be confirmed.

Cupcake craft challenge #170–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

I’m back again as promised to share my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week my lovely buddy Donna has set the theme and she has chosen “let’s get krafty” so she would like to see us colouring onto kraft card.  Now I have to say this is the first time I have attempted this and my efforts and not a patch on the amazing creations I see in blogland.  In my defence I used kids colouring pencils as I don’t have any proper crafting pencils so I did the best I could!!  Here is my card:

CCC challenge 170 - get krafty

CCC challenge 170 - get krafty (close up)

I used a super cute image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called ‘first Christmas’ and as I say I used kids colouring pencils (which I’ve had so long they were bought in Woolworths lol!) to colour it in.  The papers are gorgeous and by my mind’s eye from the ‘be merry’ paper pad.  The sentiment is from the clipart fairy and the snowflakes are cut with a die-namics die, which I got from dies to die for

Stamp with fun #139–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you all had a brilliant weekend.  We had a lovely time,  yesterday we went to the cinema to celebrate my son’s 15th birthday (his birthday is actually today) and we saw his choice of film – Johnny English reborn – which I have to say was quite funny, in a silly way of course.  So I am going to embarrass him now – HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY LIAM, WE LOVE YOU LOTS AND HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY x x

Onto the reason you are here today!  It’s time for a new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge and this week we have a super easy theme for you of “stitching”, it can be real or faux, whatever you prefer.  I have done some faux stitching with a fine liner pen.  Here is my card:

SWF #139 - stitching

This is the card I made for my eldest son to give to his brother.  I used a Kenny K image called ‘teen idol’ and coloured him with a mix of promarkers and flex markers.  The gorgeous papers are my mind’s eye from the ‘kraft funday happy days’ paper pad and the black cardstock is from the papermill shop.  I’ve distressed all the edges and added minimal embellishments (two ribbons which are recycled from a top I bought recently and 3 mini buttons).  

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples to inspire you as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

Winter wonderland challenge–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you’re having a good week so far.  I cannot believe it is Friday already – although I’m not complaining.  It’s been a super crazy week in work and I will be glad when today is over.  It is my son’s 15th birthday on Monday so we will be going out on Sunday to the cinema to celebrate and probably have a nice meal too, so something to look forward too. 

We’ve had more bad luck in the family this week, my hubby’s grandfather who is 95 has recently had a major operation for cancer but had come home from hospital and was recovering well when he fell and broke his hip.  He is back is hospital and recovering from surgery on his hip now as well.  I know he’s a tough old man but there’s only so much that someone that age can tolerate and I really hope he can bounce back from this. 

Onto nicer things now and today there is a brand new challenge over at winter wonderland challenge and Squirrel has chosen the theme of “nativity”.  She would like to see your images featuring baby Jesus, Mary & Joseph, the 3 wise men etc.  I decided to go for a super minimalist look for my card this time – here it is:

WW #21 - nativity

WW #21 - nativity (close up)

I used a super sweet image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called ‘in the manger’ and I coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  The sentiment is from a clear set by personal impressions and the gems are from my stash.  The plain card is papermania from textured card pack.  I really like the simplicity of this card, although I really had to stop myself from adding more to it!! 

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Passion for promarkers #127–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I cannot believe how grey and murky it was yesterday – I went to work in the gloomy conditions and when I came home and it looked exactly the same.  I cannot wait for spring to come around again and we get the lighter nights – I know I’m wishing my life away lol! 

Anyway onto nicer things – it’s time for a brand new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge.  This week the lovely Michele has set the theme and she has chosen “swirls and sparkles” which is such a lovely combination and so versatile for any occasion.  I decided to make a Christmas card as I still don’t have enough yet!  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 127 - swirls and sparkles

PFP challenge 127 - swirls and sparkles (close up)

I have used a super cute image from sugar nellie stamps called “snow buddies” and I coloured it with promarkers and flex markers.  I used my gorgeous new echo park paper pad called ‘winter park’ and it so beautiful.  There is something really “fresh and clean” about blue and white isn’t there and with the pop of red I think it’s a really fun colour scheme.  There is an abundance of stickles on all their “fluffy” bits and sparkly gems too  and the swirls are cut out with an x-cut punch. 

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive one of their brilliant Promarker Stamping Kits.

Cupcake craft challenge #169–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hi everyone, as promised I’m back again with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week it is my turn to set the theme and as it’s my son’s 15th birthday next week I decided to get ahead and therefore I chose “card for a teenage boy”.  Now I know you’re all going to groan but unfortunately these cards do need to be made from time to time lol!  Here is my card:

CCC challenge 169 - teenage boys

CCC challenge 169 - teenage boys (close up)

I used an image from Mo’s digital pencil called ‘gamer’ and coloured him with promarkers and flex markers.  This is how you will find my son most days after school, playing on his x-box or on the computer!!  The papers are from a really old pack by dovecraft called ‘masculine’ and I used my last sheet of elzybells kraft cardstock!!  I kept the embellishments fairly simple, as like most men my son isn’t that fussy with his cards, I die cut some stars and wrapped some twine around them, a few pearls and that was it.  The twine is actually green so I don’t know why it looks yellow in the pics (user error again I suppose lol!)  My card is A5 in size.

I made this card for my parents to give to my niece and as it’s her 18th birthday I made an 8x8 card.  The image is some odd girl stamps and is called ‘dancin’ Kaylee’ and I coloured her with a mix of flex markers and promarkers.  The gorgeous papers are from a kit by my minds eye called ‘ooh la la’ and the gingham ribbon is from the pretty little ribbon shop

Bee Crafty–November challenge

Oh my goodness I am hanging my head in shame as I completely forgot to blog my card for this month’s Bee Crafty challenge.  Merrigan I hope you can forgive me!!  Thankfully we still have 10 days until the new challenge begins so I hope you will have a chance to enter.  Our theme this month is all about “explosions or exploding” - consider using an explosion of fiery, sparkly embellishments or think about creating pop up and 'exploding' cards.  Here is my card:

Bee crafty #56 - explosion

Bee crafty #56 - explosion (close up)

Now when I made my card it was almost firework night so I used that as my inspiration.  I used “whimsical girl” but cut her out and snipped off her flowers and added stickles to make it look like she was holding sparklers.  It looks a bit pale in the picture but IRL it is super sparkly!.  I also thought the girl looked like she was looking up at the sky at the firework display!  It is a very simple card; I just used some glittery card by DCWV and orange ric rac for a bit of a colour pop. 

The prize as always is your choice of any two downloads (with the exception of the sets & PDFs) from the bee crafty store. 

The rest of the DT have made beautiful creations so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

Passion for promarkers #126–DT card

Good morning dear friends.   I hope you all had a fantastic Monday.  Winter is definitely here – it was very chilly and it stayed really dark and dreary here all day – me not like!! 

It’s time for a brand new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge.  The lovely Lisa has set the theme and she has chosen “white on white”.  I really love the look of these type of cards but unfortunately they are a nightmare to photograph – and you know my photography skills are not the best anyway lol!  Here is my card:

PFP challenge 126 - WOW

PFP challenge 126 - WOW (close up)

Sadly my husband’s auntie passed away last week so I made this card to send to his uncle and cousin.  I know it is a bit girly but I thought it would be ok as his cousin (a woman) will be receiving it too but I chose the colour blue to add a bit of “maleness” to it!  The image is from DigiStamp Boutique and is called “quirky flowers” but I don’t think it’s still available as I couldn’t find it in the shop.  I coloured the image with promarkers and used 3 different embossing folders for the background.  I went a bit mad with the stickles but I think it looks ok.  I meant to add a few pearls but I forgot after waiting what seemed like ages for the stickles to dry!!

Our sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique and Sally-Ann is offering our lucky winner the choice of 6 digi images from her store.

Cupcake craft challenge #168–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello again dear friends, I’m back as promised with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week the lovely Delphine has set the theme and she has chosen “two’s company” so we want to see images of two boys, two girls or one of each on your projects. The idea is to have two or more characters on your work (coming from the same stamp or different stamps). Animals don't count, but fairies and angels are ok.  Here is my card:

CCC challenge 168 - two's company
