I have decoupaged the image to give it depth

The sentiment is from the stamp fairy and has been punched out using a circular punch.

Te swirls are a marianne creatable die cut.

This sentiment I created on my computer and havehung beads and a fairy from the bottom of it.

The box is made using the same papers and digi etc.

Dad Your my Super Hero!

Well this is my last post until Sunday as I am away for the weekend, so I hope you like it.  I don't have long so I will get straight to it.

I thought I would try something different for this, and as I haven't made a stepper card for a while that's what I decided to make! I have used backing papers from K & company called 'ROAM' and a plain silver piece of paper that i have embossed.  The Fantastic, Amazing, POW! and BAM! sentiments come from the Greeting farm amazing duo pack.

All of the digis used on this card are from good old Kenny K and have all been coloured with pro markers and cut out then attatched to the card using 3D foam pads.

This one is called 'Cookie guy'  and he has been attatched to a nellie snellen multiframe die cut that has been inked and liquid pearled.  The sentiment was created on my computer and punched out.  And I have used a heart punch for the hearts.

The one standing up is called 'Super hero'

This one is called 'Fist hero'.  The fathers day sentiment came free with a purchase so I am not sure where it comes from and the button and ribbon are from my stash.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges

Cute and girly!

Good evening all.  Here is another card for you today, aren't you lucky!!  lol

The sketch for this card is from Mojo Monday.  I have used Pink petticoat digi backing papers for this little beauty! I have also used a flourish embossing folder for the white square.

I have been admiring this stamp from afar for a long time having seen it used by several of you bloggers out there!  And I finally treated myself with my £10 voucher win from the Funky kit.    I have stamped her onto the largest Nesties scalloped circle die, inked around the edge and coloured her with pro markers and added a few minni gems to the flowers in her hair.  She is called Hippie Chic from the Sassy range at Sugar Nellie.

I have added a butterfly above her head that I have stamped from the do craft doodles stamp set, I have coloured it with pro markers and added mini gems for a bit of bling.  The sentiment is from The greeting farm sentiment pack and I have stamped it onto a Nellie Snellen multi frame die, used cross stitch thread to keep it in place and inked and gemed the edge. I have used 2 different organza ribbons and tied the bow on a bowmaker.

the flowers are from Wild orchid crafts and the leaves are a punch.

I have used a heart border  punch along the top and added 4 flower brads in the corners and stuck a mini gem in each of them.

Good afternoon everyone.  Am a bit late today!  Had shopping to do this morning and had to make the card when I came back!  Is a very quick one so hope you like it.  I used the stamps I got free with a craft mag I bought this morning.

The zebra stipe card has been in my stash like forever!  don't know where i got it from! The happy birthday stripe has been hand stamped using the do crafts sentiment from the sentiments pack.

The stamped images are free from a magazine 'Quick cards'  They are called 'The Wild Ones' created by Adam Pescott.

Cute as a button aren't they?

Nestablility Lace square die has been inked with orange and black.

The cake has been stamped onto a punched circle that has been inked  with black and orange, and has been mounted onto a  black nellie snellen multi frame

I Do!

 Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all well and are having a wonderfully crafting time!!  I am a bit later posting todays cardas I had to finish it!!  started it yesterday evening and got sidetracked!!

Anyway here it is!

I have just used White and purple for this card with the exception of the teddies!  I had to make the box as it didn't fit in the envelope!!

I have layered white card onto purple, used a corner punch on the first layer of white and an embossing folder on the second layer of white.

I hope you can see the embossing better on this one!

The cute bears have been made from Boo bear dies from go create, and The wedding gown and hat are from the same company.  I have used ink around the edges to give the images some dimension.

I have used a lovely flower ribbon for around the veil and body of the dress and have added some mini gems to the centres.

The flowers have been made using X cut flower punches. I have inked around the edges of them all and added gems to the centers,  The swirls are marianne creatables dies.

The base of the easle card has the same base as the top but I have stamped the sentiment from a wedding stamp set I have( not sure where from!)  onto a nellie snellen multiframe die cut, inked around the edges and added mini gems.

The wedding cake is a sizzix die cut and the flowers have been made in the same way as the top of the card.

Stripes and Polka dots

Good morning blogland.  My oldest son is back at school today so I am going to have a cleaning day.  But that doesn't mean I will be ignoring my lovely craft desk!  Hopefully I will be playing on that when my youngest son goes to sleep this afternoon! 

Any way onto today's card

I have used the sketch from The sweet shop for this one, and Pink petticoat digi papers .

I have matted and layered in blue and pink paper and used a Fiskars lace punch for the boarders

The image is called Sadie . I have coloured her with pro markers and Her hair has been coloured with Sandstone, tan and Cinamon.  The image has been mounted ont a nellie snellen multiframe using foam pads.  The multi frame die cut has been embossed with dots.

The flowers were white paper flowers from mystash that I have coloured with pro markers to match the card colour. The leaves have been punched out.  The sentiment is a Greetingfarm stamp from one of their sentiment packs and has been stamped onto a Nellie Snellen multiframe die cut that has beemn inked and liquid pearled.

The swirls are from a marianne creatable die cut and I have added pearls to the tips.  The buttons are from my stash.

DT post for OSAAT ' Embossing'

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to another challenge at OSAAT and this weeks theme is embossing.  We have some fab sponsors this week.

http://www.creativecraftworld.co.uk/

Are offering 5 pro markers

and don't forget if you spen £10 or more in the Stitchy bear store you recieve the fathers day/sports Collab for free

So on to today's card.

I have used a gorgeous xmas embossing folder from Sizzix for the main white background and matted and layered on black card

The digi stamp I have used for this card is called 'winter trees' from gingerloft in the store, I have layered it on black and used glitter for a snowy effect.

Here you can see the embossing folder a bit clearer, I have put a ribbon around the panel.

The snowflakes are from Marianne creatable dies and have been heat embossed with a Kaliedescope powder, then I have added pearl gems to the centre and a snowflake charm to hang from them.

The sentiment is from a do crafts xmas sentiment stamp set.  I have cut out a piece of card using the smallest nesties scalloped oval.  I have then used Ultra thick embossing powder and heated it  3 times then put a layer of silver embossing powder on top, I then quikly stamped the sentiment into the melted powder with some stazon on the stamp.  I think this is what they call triple embossing!!

Hope you like it

Dt post fotr Gingerloft 'Under the sea'

Well hello again folks, here is another post for you today for my other design team Gingerloft challenges.  Don't forget you can win 3 digistamps for winning this challenge from the gingerloft store so why not play along and have some fun.

I have used 2 sets of digis from the stoe for this one because I couldn't resist them!  Part of the mermaid scene and the dolphin sihouette set.  I have used a swirl embossing folder as a background and inked it with light and dark blue inks.

The mermaid has been coloured with pro markers and cut out and attatched with silicon gel so I could put  her ontop of the embellies, Pearls and leaves(seaweed)

I have made the dolphin set into a shaker piece and put blue beads and tiny sea shells inside.  This was my first attempt at a shaker so I am pretty pleased with it!  The dolphin on top has been heat embossed with Kaliedescope embossing powder.

the sentiment comes with the dolphin set, I have printed it onto card and cut it out using the smallest scalloped circle nestie die then inked around the edge.  The shells were all from a beach trip years ago!  Knew I would find a use for them in the end!!

Hope you like it!
