Tilda & Friends ATC challenge

This weeks challenge on the new Tilda & Friends ATC challenge blog is 'In the pink'.
Here is my entry, I used 'sonnets - love' paper from creative imaginations, then stamped princess tilda and the frog, a stamp I had as a birthday gift :), you can't see well on the pic but I added twinkling h20s to tildas crown, her wings and her shoes.

My hanging treat box

I couldn't have made this without the inspiration and instructions by Flowers and Ink, what a great project!
I always find men are hard to make cards for and, let's face it, gift buying isn't much easier is it!
So to combine the 2 in one is FABULOUS!
I had to alter the dimentions to accommodate a larger bar of choc though lol.
I added a small panel on the reverse (not shown) to add a greeting.

and a pic with the choc added...

This has been given to my friends hubby for his birthday.

THANK YOU Christina for inspiring me!! ;)

I also made...

A red eyed tree frog ATC.
Those that know me know that I love frogs! and this is my favourite froggy.
When I saw this stamp I just had to buy it! I wanted the frog to be the main feature on this ATC so decided not to stamp the background but to paint the tree and leaves by hand in watercolours for a softer effect.



And here is a card that I have made for my friends son, he will be 16 on thursday and when he leaves school this year he is doing a mechanics apprentiship. Hamish fixing a tractor from the Sugar Nellie range is perfick then!

Bootiful stampz new designs

Here are a few examples using the new Bootiful Stampz bunny designs.
Firstly, here's Bunny Pocket, I stamped twice, once on plain watercolour paper and again on stripy chatterbox cardstock for the pocket.




Here is a card using the 2 new baby stampz, Bunny Bottle & Bunny Bootee, I haven't seen many cards made for twins so decided to combine both designs on one card. I cut the top with a scalloped edge and used my crop-a-dile to emboss the 3 dots top and bottom on the bottom, I think you can just about see the dots.





Here is a Easter bunny door hanger, using the Bunny Eggs stamp.






You can see the whole range of Bunny Stampz and lots more HERE

Look! New Bunnyz!... and a challenge!

Sally from Bootiful Stampz has designed some new bunnyz!
Here they are, and they are available for sale now from Auntys Store.

Arty Girlz 'circles' challenge

This is the card I made last week for the Arty Girlz challenge.

This week's challenge is 'Circles' so anything goes as long as there is a circle somewhere on your creation..... could be buttons, brads, eyelets, circles in patterned paper etc....

I haven't been feeling too good the last few days and forgot to upload it.

The fairy was sent to me by a friend of mine from Auntys Forum as a RAK, it had been stamped in a pale green and then clear embossed when I received it, I coloured it in with my watercolour pencils then cut it out (very fiddly!)

Actually, if anybody knows the name and brand of this fairy stamp could you let me know please? I forgot to ask my friend and sadly isn't a regular poster on the forum anymore. TIA xx

I used a stripy paper that I got as a gift for a magazine subscription last year. Then cut 2 circles, one in cerise and a smaller one in pink glitter card, then put everything together on the card.

I added the cerise flowers which were infact pale green vellum to start with and were already embossed when I bought them from qvc. I coloured them with a cerise permanent pen then cut them out (very fiddly too!)

Finished with a small 'sister' greeting which was again coloured to match with permanent pen.

Hope you like my card :)
