A Card for the Sugar Bowl and Sundays with Santa Challenges

 

Good Morning Everyone, well the sun is trying to come out and its dry, but by gum the temperature seems to have gone down, do you think Autumn is on its way? I wouldnt be at all surprise that we dont have a cold winter but I do hope not.

Anyway todays card has been created for the Sugar Bowl Sketch and the Sundays with Santa's "Flowers" Challenges, and I have used this sweet image from Funky Kits and Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels 23 to cut her out then drew around her to create the mount.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, and the two papers I have used are from Donna of Bearlymine Designs new Christmas paper set, they are both with red and pink backgrounds with snowflakes of various sizes on them. These were laid as the sketch requires, and the mounted image was then positioned in the centre.

The sentiment is one from my stash, and to finish of I have placed three poinsetta flowers in the top left hand corner.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl and Sugary Sunday Challenges

Hi Good Evening All, sorry Ive not been by for a few days, but I dont seem to have the energy to make cards everyday so only make them when I need to, and of course weve had a dog with a sore back for a few days, luckily shes now pretty much back to normal.
Todays card has been created for Sugary Sunday's "Spots and Stripes" (which I didnt realise until after Id made my card) and for the Sugar Bowls "Sketch" Challenges, and Ive used this sweet image of Daisy and I know its quite sort after as Ive seen several mentions of people looking for it. Anyway Ive stamped her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, then used Nestabilitie Die No.12 to cut her out and then drew around the die to create the mount for it out of blue card. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the papers I have used are all from Donna's "Simply Dots" digi paper set, and Ive picked four colours with the spots in white. These have been laid up according to the sketch.

A Card for Sundays with Santa Challenge

Good Morning All, well that beautiful weather we had yesterday hasnt lasted today we are back to the wet stuff again, and weve also got to rest our Yorkie for a few days, somehow yesterday she managed to hurt her back end and was in a lot of pain with it, now after a painkiller injection and tablets she thinks shes ok again and wants to run around and go for a walk, so isnt very happy at this precise moment and is very anxious as to why shes not going out.
Anyway I thought I would post my card today for Sundays with Santa Challenge and its all about favourite things, I love this Mo image and its been awhile since Ive used it, but though it was such a joy to colour and the paper I used is from Donna's of Bearlymine Designs Digi Paper Christmas Sets, its beautiful, so I only used the one and a ribbon across the middle. A simple card with a wow effect, or at least I think it has. I should also have said I used the Pans Pastels around the edge of the image, and the sentiment is one from my stash.

A Card for Sundays with Sunday (Facebook Challenge)

Good Morning All, guess what the rain is back with a vengence, its such a shame as we have had some lovely weather over the last few days and now we are back to the wet stuff. Anyway firstly I must apologise for not posting much lately but Im trying to get ahead with my DT cards as I have a busy couple of months ahead of me, and of course my eldest grandsons wedding in August but two of my youngest daughers boys will also be coming to spend a week with me just before that happens, as I said Im going to be rather busy in the next few weeks.
Well back to this card I made for last weeks Sundays with Santa, if you interested in taking part let me know as I have already got a few cards in my stash ready for this coming Christmas, it makes it a little less painful if you can make a card a week. As you can see Ive used on of Mos digital images for my card hes so cute, and then I used a star Nestabilitie die to cut it out, the sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of yellow card, and the paper I have used is one from Donna's Bearlymine Christmas Sets, a lovely yellow background with Xmas trees in several colours, Ive also used my memorybox dies as well to make the bottom border and the corner.

Anyway this weeks theme on Sundays with Santa is "Shades of Blue" and I rather cheated by also using this card for Facebooks Sugary Sunday "Things with Wings" challenge. The image was stamped onto white card and Ive coloured it with my copic pens, then used Nestabilitie Die No.1 to cut her out and a larger one for the mount.

A Card for Sundays with Santa on Facebook - "Sport"

Good Afternoon Everyone, I dont seem to know what day it is what with all the Jubilee celebrations, and our monthly shop on Sunday, these last few days seem to have flown by. I had an appointment with the doctor this morning and I was dreading she would tell me I needed to go on statins, anyway as my eye test at the hospital turned out to be the start of a catarach and not chloestrial problems I dont have to start on them at the moment, thank goodness but she will keep an 6 montly check of my level and then if necessary put me on them then. Im not to happy about my eye problems being a catarach but it could have been a lot worse so for now I dont have to panic.
Well now you know my health problems I thought I would post this card I made for Sundays with Santa on Facebook, this week its all about sports the usual winter ones and I chose this pair of skaters from The Paper Shelter for my main image.
Ive printed them onto white card and used my copic pens to colour them, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.1 to cut them out and a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is one of Personnal Impressions ones and this has been also mounted onto a piece of blue card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and one of Donna's Bearlymine Christmas Background Designs, I then positioned my mounted image in the centre with the sentiment below of the right.
Just before I sign of, have any of you bloggers out there had problems with Internet Explorer, it wont save my post as Im writing it up, Im now having to use firefox all the time. Its so frustrating I spent 2 hours yesterday writing up a Challenge Blog only for it not to have been saved.

Back to todays card this is for this weeks Sundays with Santa Challenge on Facebook, for this we want a card for a child, and Ive used this sweet image from Mo Manning and its called "Baby Girls 1st Christmas" so I felt it was just right for a the challenge, and tis one Ive not used before and I printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens then used Nestabilitie Label Die No.17 to cut it out then drew around the die to create the mount.

A Card for Sundays with Santa on Facebook - "Travel"

Good Morning All, has anyone noticed just how quickly the weeks are going by, here we are at another one, and at least today the sun is trying to come out, lets hope it does as I would like the weather to improve a lot before we take of for Cornwall in a couple of weeks, as its so miserable when it gets misty down there you miss so much of the scenery. Anyway back to todays card, this is for this weeks Challenge over on Sundays with Santa, its a weekly challenge that we set ourselves to create cards for Christmas, there isnt any money or prize involved it just gives us the chance to build up a reserve before December. Anyway this weeks theme is "Travel" and Ive used this Paper Shelter one of a young lass on her sledge delivering her Christmas Parcels. Ive printed her onto white card then used my copics to colour her, afterwards I used the new Die-namics Rectangle dies to cut her out, then used a larger one and some red card for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash, Im sorry I dont know hows it is as I usually take the backing paper of, silly really but my poor drawers are stacked to bursting and if I kept all the paper it just wouldnt shut.
Anyway the main card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, and the papers I have used are from Donna's Bearlymine Christmas ones, the first is a red background with holly and sentiments on, the second is a blue background with similar design, I used one of my Cheery Lynn doily dies for this and placed in towards the left of the base layer.
I then positioned my mounted image on the right and the sentiment below it, to finish of I have used another of the Cheery Lynn dies to cut a holly swirl and stuck to the left of the image and a poinsetta was then stuck to the card at the top with some punched out holly leaves.

Back todays card I created this for the Lili's little Fairies "Sketch" Challenge, and Ive used one of the new stamps for my card, though I do see that I have cut it out on the squiff, daft really but my excuse is I do have new glasses, I hope it doesnt upset your feeling towards it. Ive stamped it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, and the oval Nestabilitie die to cut it out, afterwards I used the lacey edge die for my mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, and then Ive used two of the new beautiful "Rose's Dream" digi papers from Bearlymine, they really are so pretty, I do hope you will go and visit Donna's website to see for yourself.

I then wrapped three ribbon stripes around the card in pink and blue and attached them to the back of the first mount, the mounted image was then positioned in the middle and the sentiment at the bottom on the right.

Sunday's with Santa "Anything Goes"

Good Evening Everyone, I know its late but its the first time Ive had a bit of me time all day, firstly we had to take Missy for a checkup and the vet decided to restitch the foot shed taken the stitches out of and then to tape up all the stitches on each of the other three feet, and to fit her with a collar, if you pop across to my No.1 blog you will be able to see how she feels about that. Luckily she did eat her dinner today which she didnt want last night, but its a struggle for her as the collar gets in the way, she keeps catching it on all sorts of things as she walks along, and finds it difficult to lie down comfortably so Ive sat down with all afternoon keeping her company and hoping she will feel more secure.
Well back to my card as you can see its one of Mos digitable images and Ive coloured it with my copic pens then used Nestabilitie No.9 to cut it out and mount it on a larger one, the sentiment is one from my stash. Ive also used two of Donna's Bearlymine Christmas Digi papers and mounted them on top of one another. Ive also used one of the corner dies from Memory Box to in the bottom right hand corner under my sentiment.

A Card for Teddybo Challenge "Birthstones"

Good Afternoon Everyone, well it snowed again last night and I was forced to walk into town this morning to pick up an envelope that hadnt got the right postage on, why they carnt bring them to the door in this sort of weather I dont know as Im more than happy to pay for it. Anyway I managed it without a mishap but the poor dog hasnt been out for a walk yet and Im hoping that the sun which is out at the moment will clear a lot of it up as we had a freeze during the night and its like a skating rink and it scares me like hell to walk on it.
Heres a photo I took last night not brilliant but it gives you an idea what we are experiencing at the moment.

And that footpath upto the front gate is extremely icy today so you can understand why Im scared, my dog loves it. Anyway getting back to my card its for the TeddyBo "Birthstones" Challenge and as Im a November baby its Topaz for me, not particularly a nice colour but Ive done my best with this little skating Bea, and used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.17 on it to cut it out, and the papers Ive used are Bearlymine Digi Christmas Sets, Ive then wrapped a piece of lace and ribbon around the card and attached it to the back of the first mount, then stuck my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right.
To finish of Ive used one hellibore and two poinsettas in a flower spray that has been stuck to the card with silicone glue on top of some punched out holly leaves.

A Card for Mo's Challenge "Banners or Tags"

Good Morning Everyone, you now how it is you think youve covered everyone then you find a card turns up and youve no idea who the person is, but with a little detective work from hubby he managed to see that the postmark on the envelope and discovered it was from Norwich, and as my grandson lives in Norwich we guess it was from his future in-laws, so mystery solved, and one rushed person trying to get another Xmas card done and finished this morning ready for hubby to post in the morning.
Ive created my card from this sweet image from Mo Manning, Ive coloured her with my copic's then used Nestabilitie Die No.11 to cut her out, then done my usual thing with the mount. The sentiment is one of Pink Gems ones and Ive treated that in the same way.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of dark blue card and one paper from Donna of Bearlymine Designs "Christmas Wishes" digi paper set, a dark blue with lots of sentiments and snowflakes on. The next mount was a 5" square that Ive used my snowflake border and corner punch on from Martha Stewart. Ive created the banner with some letters I created in MCS and printed them of, then used a Whimsey banner stamp and punch to create the sections for my banner, these were then stuck to the card on a strip of white ribbon and foam.
The mounted image was postioned on the right with the sentiment at the bottom on the left, the final thing I did was put some glitter on the letters and used the punched out snowflakes to just dot and spot all over the place stuck down with some glue.

Hubby is trying to fix a another socket for me, so all the electricity downstairs is all turned of so Ive been banished upstairs out of the way, and Missy is in her cage having a snooze. She was very late this morning actually managed to sleep till 6.30am when I went down to let her out,normally she has us up a lot earlier than that, but perhaps shes begining to realise we oldies need a bit of a lie in you never know your luck.
Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks Sundays with Santa "Baubles" Challenge over on Facebook, and Ive used this sweet image of Mo Mannings "Babys 1st Christimas", Ive printed it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, Ive also used some glossy accents for the bauble, then cut it out with the circle Nestabilitie Die and the lacey circle for the mount.

Anyway todays card has been created for a brand new Challenge Blog, Emerald Faerie Garden, and the first theme is "Anything Goes", Ive got to admit these fairies are so gorgeous and I love them, they are not only cute but so easy to colour as well. Ive used this sweet image sitting on a daisy and holding a ladybug, Ive printed onto white card and then coloured with my Copic and Tria pens, afterwards I cut it out with my Nestabitilie Die No.18 then drew around the die to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one from my stash and I thought it was just lovely for this image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of lime green pearlescent card, with a first of three papers from Donna's Bearlymine Downloads "Spring Flight" papers, this first paper is a green one with lots of flying butterflies on, the second one is a blue one with bees on and I cut it into a 5" square and Ive used the ladybug border and corner punch on it, this was layed on top of the first layer, the third piece is a strip down the middle in yellow with more butterflies on, I then wrapped a white ribbon with ladybugs on around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then positioned in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side. To finish of Ive created three flowers from some of the left over paper two in blue and one in green, this was then stuck to the card with silicone glue on top of punched out oak leaves. The last little thing is the little ladybug down in the left hand corner.
