Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Inspired by a Film, Book or Song

Our sponsor this week is and our monthly sponsor is Cuddly Buddly who are offering a £10 voucher to the monthly winner.

I have gone for a Christmas card and I haven't just been inspired by one of the above. Oh no.....

Film - The Snowman
Book - The Snowman - Raymond Briggs
Songs! - We're Walking in The Air
Let it Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow

I bought The Snowman set of stamps in the £1 shop at the craft show at the SECC on Thursday. Got to be honest, it was pretty crap. Loads of space and some of the stalls that were there were just filler stalls like Flower Arranging, Sugarcraft Guild and Gardening Cutting equipment.....

Can You Spot a Creeper.......

Morning...

Chances are if you haven't discovered Minecraft then you will have no idea what the post title means... however, in our house, if we're not playing Minecraft, we're talking about it and if we're not playing it or talking about it we're watching some bloke playing it on You Tube. 

Scott had a birthday party at the weekend and his pal is as daft on Minecraft as he is. So a few weeks ago I had an idea to turn the LotV Computer Boy in to a boy playing Minecraft instead of a driving game! I measured the size of the screen and printed a wee photo of Steve to size. Then I decided that I could do with a creeper peeking out from somewhere and then I found a Minecraft font so it all came together quite nicely. 

And the best thing, the card got the thumbs up from my boys and from the birthday boy!

Visible Image DT Cards

Morning all. 

I'm here to show you my cards today for Visible Image.

I'm continuing to show you some of the cards I've made using the new More Than Words range. This time I've used the With Sympathy set. Always difficult cards to make but with this beautiful verse written by Helen it makes the job slightly easier.

With this first card I've used shades of blue ink which I stamped off first before committing ink to card as I wanted a slightly more muted look.

 And with this card I've stamped the flowers using Versamark ink and used the With Sympathy stamped in blue. A simple bit of ribbon and some pearls to finish.

Visible Image Challenge

It's time for a new challenge over at Visible Image 

The winner can choose £20 worth of stamps from the Visible Image site and with so many fabulous stamps to choose from the winner will be spoiled for choice.

You must use at least one Visible Image stamp on your creation.

Our theme this month is 

Use Your Favourite Visible Image Stamps

And here is my card. Can you guess who this one was for?! Yep. That's right, this is Craig's birthday card. I've used the Clayton Legend Set. I cut large numbers out using the Cricut and stamped the bullet holes all over the numbers to make it look like Clayton shot the number 12! I've paper pieced his hat and boots and coloured the rest of him in with my Copics.
