Shaped cards at Sentimental Sundays

Good evening all,

 

Just popping in quickly to let you know about this week's challenge at Sentimental Sundays. 

 

The theme this week is: Shaped Cards (plus a sentiment).

 

The sponsor is the fabulous Bubaboo Stamps....yeah, i love Bugaboo!

 

I chose this beautiful image/sentiment to use on my card.  The designer paper is My Mind's Eye 'The Sweetest Thing'.  The image has been coloured wih copics.  Hope you like it.

Its a Sketch at Charisma Cardz

Good morning all you lovely crafters,

 

I hope you are having a fab day.  I am here to post my card for the Charisma Cardz challenge.  This week we have a fabulous 'SKETCH' to follow as the theme. 

 

The sponsor is J & C Creations.

 

 

Here is the fabulous Sketch

 

 

 

And my interpretation of the Sketch.  I used a Bugaboo image that i have had for ages, it was a freebie at the time.   Coloured parts of it with copics.  The Black & White spots DP is by Echo Park anf the others are My Mind's Eye Indie Chic 'Saffron'.

 

 

Thank you for dropping by.  I will be along to view your blogs later today hopefully and will be back tomorrow with a new card and another new challenge.

 

Take care. Big hugs, Jill x

Thinking of You

Good morning crafters!

 

Here i am again relying on blogger to schedule my post on time! My previously cancelled operation was rescheduled for wednesday so whilst i am expecting to be home by now, i am not sure if i will be up to posting this on time! 

 

Anyway, a new month means a month of new challenges over at the 2 Sisters challenge blog.

 

This week the theme is a sketch and we are sponsored by the fabulous Stitchy Bear Stamps. 

 

It would be great if you joined us in this challenge and if you pop over to the 2 Sisters challenge blog you will see the other DT's beautiful inspiration.

 

Here is the sketch. 

 

 

I turned the sketch on its side for my card.  I used this beautiful 'Fanciful Bouquet' digi from Stitchy Bear.  You can find it here.  The papers are Back to Basics III but unfortunately didn't come out too well in this photo. 

 

 

Thank you for visiting today. I will try and pop around to all your blogs as soon as i am up and about a bit. 

 

Take care, Big hugs, Jill x

Thinking of You again!

Good afternoon all, i hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend ahead.  It's 42 degrees today so it is surely going to be a hot one here!

Anyway, onto my card.  I don't know why but i was drawn to my 'Thinking of You' stamp again. This card started out as a birthday card but somewhere along the line i changed my mind and reached for the thinking of you stamp!

Supplies:

Kraft

Alla Prima Collection paper stack

EK Success border punch

Tonic butterfly punch

Spellbinders Nestabilites - Heart circles

Circle & scallop punch

Paper & Such sentiment

Tim Holtz distress ink - Walnut stain

Glue stick and bling from stash

Thank you for visiting.  If you leave a comment, i will visit you too. 

Hugs,

Thinking of You

Good evening all, hope you are all having a good day.  I went for a little walk today outside down by the marina. Making the most of the outdoors just now before it gets too hot. Anyway, enough of me, what about my cards? Well, today i have two cards to show you.  Both cards have been made using stamps and sentiments from the fab candy i won recently from the lovely Naomi.  The first one is a practice card, a CAS sympathy card using Prima Marketing Clear Stamps for the image and a Paper and Such sentiment.  The second card is a Paper and Such 'Better Poppies' clear stamp.  I stamped the image straight onto the card, then stamped another image onto cardstock, coloured it with Tim Holtz distress inks ( i cant live without these inks) and then paper pieced them.  The sentiment is also from the same Better Poppies set.  The border was made using an EK Success border punch and the edges were also distressed.  The ribbon was from my stash. What do you think?
