Creative Inspirations – All Dressed Up Stamps ‘Strawberry Season!

 Hello, how are things?

 

We have a new challenge over at the Creative Inspirations Blog and this month our theme is everyone’s favourite;

‘Anything Goes’

 

Our sponsor is the fabulous  ALL DRESSED UP

who are offering a fabulous prize for our winner of 2 digis of their choice so visit the blog for details.

 

I have to admit that this card got away from me somewhat as I was in panic mode when I made it. You see I had initially used the wrong image for this challenge.  Right sponsor at least just wrong DT. Ooops 

This lovely lady is called STRAWBERRY SEASON and I found some very busy but apt paper from LDRS Creative (since retired) to go with her.  I dug out an old embossing folder too that I have had since the dawn of time and even managed to make some teeny-weeny strawberries to add to the vine.

 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: ADU STRAWBERRY SEASON

Colouring: Derwent Drawing Pencils on Faber Castell Mixed Media Paper

Dies: Craft Addiction UK ‘Essential Oval Deckle Frames’ – Mayjoy ‘Deckle Rectangles’ – Signature Dies ‘Vine Spray’

Paper: LDRS Creative

Sentiment: Created in Canva 

Others Stuff: Mini Heart Punch & Flower Die (for the teeny strawberries) – Embossing Folder

 

So, pop over to the blog and join in the fun this month, we would love to see you.

GDT - Girlz Creative Christmas Challenge - Di's Digi Winter Bear

 Good morning! Back again! 

Today I find myself as a guest on the GIRLZ CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE blog and their theme this time is ‘Fun Folds’

 

Well, my ‘fun fold’ is a centre stepper card featuring this fabulous cocoa-sipping polar bear from DIS DIGI STAMPS called MUGSY (love it).

I must admit it took me ages to make this card. Do you find that happens sometimes? I had chosen my paper, coloured my image then…nope I had nothing. I knew it would be a stepper but that was about it. Still a cup of tea and a walk with the dog later and I managed to finish it. Phew!

Ingredients:

Digital Stamp:  DIS DIGI STAMPS ‘MUGSY’

Dies: Tattered Lace Centre Stepper Set – Sue Wilson ‘Holly Sprays’, ‘Snow Fall Border’ and ‘Flying Santa’ - Catherine Pooler Winter Frame – Tonic ‘Merry Christmas’

Paper: LOTV ‘Frosty Christmas'

Colouring: Arrtx Pencils on Strathmore Grey Toned Paper

Others: Mini Gems

 

So, get out those Christmas supplies and folding boards and join in with this fab challenge.

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; I really do appreciate it!

Enjoy your day!

As soon as I saw these adorable little misses I just had to have them (being a huge ballet and LOTV fan). I used 2 of the images, flipping one to face the other way and coloured them with my pencils.

We have just entered the school summer holidays here in the UK so now would be a great time to make those encouraging cards for when the new term comes around.  Let’s face it time will fly by.

 This sweet little student is from the GRADUATION/SCHOOL collection, just look at her adorable face.  I added her to one of the fabulous papers in this set and then created a banner by layering a piece of the EPHEMERA and a flag sentiment from the OBJECT BUNDLE then printed it all out as a single layer design. I do love a shaped card so broke out my hexagon dies again and added some punched stars as she is most definitely a star student.

GDT – The Dream Factory Challenge – Polkadoodles Gnome Stamps!

Good morning!

I am very honoured to be a guest designer on THE DREAM FACTORY challenge blog today. Their themes are always film related and today the film in question is

 so anything bee-related basically.

POLKADOODLES has a fabulous array of bee and gnome images in their collection called BUZZY BEE, and that is what I chose to use today. I printed the image directly onto the backing paper to make a single layer CAS card (so much easier for posting).

This little guy is taking his love of bees very seriously as he has even dyed his beard to be a bee-ard. 😊

Ingredients:

Digital Stamp: HEY GNOMIE

Honey Jar Paper: BUZZY BEE PRINTABLE EMBELLISHMENT BUNDLE

Colouring: Copics on PERFECT STAMPING & PRINTING CARD

Dies:  Presscut ‘Nesting Stich Dot Hexagons’
