Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning.

It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'.

This time our theme is Things With Wings. 

I've made a wee Easter gift bag with a lovely image from LotV, I made this a while ago when I was having a wee play and suddenly realised the other day that the chick had wings so could use it for this week's challenge. D'oh!

Time For Tea Designs

Morning.

I'm here with today's Time for Tea card.  There was a new release on Monday - Bonnie Hey Friend set.  So I thought I'd try something a little different and I've used the coffee cup, but I've actually made it a card blank! I copied the image twice and rotated one so it was directly above the other and placed them so the top of the lids joined together, then I printed and cut! The middle part (the cardboard sleeve) I have made using a paper crimper but I don't think it shows up properly on the photo. So pleased it worked.  I might try the same with the phone!! 

You can see the original image from the set artwork below.

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas At Sweet Stampin'. 

As always it's Anything Christmas Goes.

I know it's only April, but I might have found my design of Christmas card! This was so easy. And could be quick. If I started now. But you know me, I won't......

I used Colour Cloud ink to colour the base card and used a new die I got a few weeks ago at Sincerely Yours. Simples.

Ski Sunday (on a Monday)

Hello.

I have had an extremely unproductive evening. I started out to make a DT card but couldn't find the stamps I wanted to use and spent two hours looking for them. Found the matching dies but the stamps are nowhere to be found. 

This is a work birthday card from last year, it was for one of the guys who is extremely fond of the outdoor life - loves skiing, climbing etc.

November? Already?

Sheesh!! 

How can we be in November? How can it nearly be Christmas? Frightening.

So to today's frightening card....see what I did there? This is a card I did last month for a friend's son to give his Dad. Again as is so often the case with orders, this is the first of three cards.

Love this wee Tiddly Inks dragon - he's so sweet. Not scary at all!!

The Last Leg

Hello!

Well, the summer holidays are nearly over. And I'm not sure it's actually been summer for very long! 

I'm trying to bring a little sunshine with tonight's card which is a card I made for my friend's daughter to give her sister.  I think I actually bought this image last year to use for the same girl and then used something else instead!!

Up!

Morning!

Gosh, it's August! Already. How did that happen?!

So, that's the first week back at work done. Survived, relatively unscathed ;)

This card is a new home card I sent to friends recently, and if you can have a belated new home card, this would be it. They moved ages ago!! 

Cased this from a card I saw on Pinterest, which I stupidly didn't pin but it's based on the film Up with the balloons carrying the house. I've embellished it using a cloud embossing folder and some cloud dies!

Spring Cleaning

Or is it Winter cleaning.

I think I do this every year - try and empty my Cards Still To Be Blogged folder, however as I've just discovered there's still stuff from last year I'm clearly not very successful at it so I've decided I'm going for it now. 

The boys and are away next week so am going to schedule a whole lot to come up through the week!

So this a card I made for my Aunt's birthday back in February.  I used the Stampin' Up Just Believe set and stamped on the DSP, I like this look, I might use it again now I've rediscovered this card!

Retail Run

Hello.

Well, the Easter school holidays are almost over, the boys are in bed early ready to go back to school tomorrow. And it won't be long before the summer holidays!

Today's card is an order from a friend's mum who asked me to make a card for her grandson to give his mum - I tried to incorporate as much detail as I was given but one of the things you can't see is the sentiment I stamped in the inside which says Keep Calm and Buy Shoes.

Anything But A Card

Our sponsor this week are Di's Digis.

This is actually a Team Abi week but most of Team Fi have joined in, so not wanting to be left out I've made a wee bookmark - although I made it for Scott and he loves it so much he wants it framed! Job's a good 'un I guess.

An Apple for The Teacher

Morning all.

Well,it's almost that time of year. That time of year when I start considering drinking gin early in the morning. Yes, the school holidays are almost upon us. From 1pm tomorrow the boys will be in the house for 7 weeks. Yep. Count 'em 7 weeks!! 

Today's card is the first of the Thank You cards I have made for his teachers. It's been funny this year only having to make them for Scott's teachers and not for Craig's! 

This is the one for his favourite teacher, and I think, looks a bit like Scott - although he's holding an apple so maybe not ;)

And I can't go without sharing a photo from last night - it was the Awards Ceremony at Craig's school and he received awards for Academic Excellence in S1 and for being the Values Champion for Respect. So proud of him, it was a wonderful evening!

And Scott got his report home yesterday too, which was excellent so I am a very proud Mum!

Monkey Business

Morning!

I hope the sun is shining where you are. It is here and according to weather report this will be the hottest day of the year in Glasgow. I bet there are people coming to the Commonwealth Games looking at the weather now thinking brilliant it'll be really warm and sunny...... can I just say that part of the standard issue of a Clydesider (the volunteers for the Games) uniform is an umbrella.....

So on to today's card. This is a father's day card I was asked to make by my friend for her son to give his Dad. Now as they're part of the Cartha family I decided to give Chester a Cartha mug (and I was hoping that Logan didn't mind being depicted as a monkey).  And for the first time in a long time Copics did not have the purple I needed so I had to break out the Promarkers!! #gapinthemarketcopics
