Stamps R Us - Encore Presentations #2

This is my second entry to this weeks Stamps R Us challenge, Encore presentations.

This card was originally posted 02/11/10

The image is of course a lovely hAnglar, coloured with promarkers.
The Paper Weave papers used are my own design and are available in 10 different colours.
I made a matching envelope too, which also had the green paper weave paper lining on the inside too.

Stamps R Us - Encore Presentations #1

This weeks challenge at Stamps R Us challenge blog is called Encore Presentations, to re-post a favourite card that we have made.

This card was originally posted 02/04/11

I love the image, it's called Love Me Anyway and is available from Whimsy Stamps.

I coloured kitty with promarkers and decoupaged the image to create depth. I think the layering really makes the image 'pop'

The cardstock used is double-sided and is by Chatterbox, it is called 'chateau upholstery' and is one of my favourites.

This is one of my favourite cards that I have made.

I just clicked on the Pollycraft challenge blog to find out what this weeks challenge is when I saw that my card is one of the top 3 from last weeks challenge! woohoooo!
It's such a rush to see that your card is liked and chosen, so i'm delighted!
Thank you to Paula and her talented team xx

This weeks Pollycraft challenge is 'Recycle'

Terry's DT week

Good Morning! Hope you are all well and happy :)
This week is DT week over at Sketch Saturday, which means I get to play with someone else's sketch this week :)
It's Terry's turn to host, and not only has she made a rather super sketch for us, but she has found a generous sponsor in the name of Art Journey, who have a fantastic prize up for grabs ;)
Our Guest Designer for this week is the very talented Kim, and later in the month we have Louise from Art Journey herself joining us! :)
Thank you ladies!

Here is my card using Terry's fab sketch...

The image is a gorgeous hÄnglar and stÄnglar stamp that was a gift from my lovely friend Maya, I stamped her a few times so that I could 3D her, and coloured her with promarkers, I added a bit of glitz to the bauble and the button on her hairband with a glitter gel pen.

The background paper is by SU and is another colour from the ski slope DSP collection. Both of the dotty yellow papers are by Dovecraft (back to basics pad). The border punch is by Xcut.

The sentiment is handwritten and punched out to echo the shape of the snowflakes.

here's a closeup of the image, I wanted it to look like her arms are holding the bauble, so I used foam pads for dimension, but glue where the arms/sleeves needed to be flush with the base image...

Please go see what Kim and the rest of The Saturdays have made to delight you this week by visiting Sketch Saturday, thank you.

seasons eatings

This utterly adorable image is called Chesters Pudding and you can buy him from Pollycraft

The DP is by Stampin Up and is called Ski Slope, but I think it's retired now :(
I used a fiskars punch to round the corners, and used a Xcut border punch to make the white border around the horizontal strip.
The sentiment is handwritten.

Oh Baby!

Available from craftsuprint.
These 3D baby shoes are not my own design, and no, i'm not expecting a baby *thank goodness!* but I saw them, thought 'how cute!' and decided I needed them incase I ever need to send something a little different to congratulate a new birth.
These would be awesome as cute little favour holders for a baby shower too don't you think?

Printed onto 200gsm cardstock and cut out, they came together quite easily.
I used double-sided tape to stick the 'upper' to the insole first of all, then used glue to stick on the sole and glue down the strap.


Both the pink and blue were made the same to that point.
Then I made 2 little daisy card buttons for the pink pair, and 2 little foam star buttons for the blue pair.


But they need something to sit inside don't they?
so I made an acetate box to fit around them (except I measured slightly wrong on the lid so it is a little bigger than it ought to be!)
looks ok though, right?

incidently, the yellow dotty paper is by Dovecraft 'Back to Basics' and the sentiment on the tag is by SU's 'Best Yet' set.

2 more challenges

I'm still playing with kraft :)

This card is for the challenges at Sweet Stampin (Christmas in July)
and at Crafty Sentiments (polka dots!)

The snowman has been coloured with ProMarkers and stuck to the card base with foam pads after I sponged a rough circle directly to the card with SU craft 'whisper white' ink. I used the same ink to stamp the greeting (which is also by SU - from their 'Best Yet' set) and the polka dots (Prima Marketing clear stamp).
Finally, I rounded the bottom corners of the card with a fiskars punch.
I really like the simplicity of this card, it turned out better than I thought it would in my head :)
