This week our theme is

April Showers

Our sponsors this week are Bugaboo, Digi Stamp Boutique and Inky Impressions.

I was inspired to use a stamp I bought at the SECC in March. I just love James the bear and this stamp is no exception. I've coloured him in using the WG Copics and paper pieced his umbrella. Doing this card reminded my of a Physics teacher at school whose mnenonic for remembering the rainbow was Rock On You Great Baldy Veteran. So Big J, this one's for you!

Charisma Meets Die Cut Crazy

Welcome to the Charisma Cardz Meets Die Cut Crazy Special Challenge and Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Vee and you're going next to the Die Cut Crazy Facebook page.

Our Wonderful design team have this week teamed up with the wonderful magazine Die Cut Crazy to bring you some wonderful inspiration from the world of Die Cutting and also a fab packed April Edition which is available for download on all IOS Apple Devices via the Newstand and in PDF format from the website! Our designers have made some wonderful Easter and Spring projects to inspire your own crafting with your die cuts. 

This week at Charisma we have an ‘ANYTHING GOES’ Challenge where you can join in by linking or emailing charisma with your cards/designs and of course as always there are some fabulous prizes to be won which the winners will be announced next week on the blog and featured in next months issue of Die Cut Crazy.

As well as this we have a fabulous blog hop showcasing all the designers which you should have a look around! And for each comment you leave at each stop we’ll be drawing some random winners for prizes!

If you just joined our hop, be sure and go back to the Charisma Cardz Challenge Blog to start from the beginning!

And here is my card.

I have used the gorgeous Princess from Funky Kits. I've cut her out using a Giant Nestie Circle and embellished her with die cut flowers. This was a card for a 40th birthday and as I didn't know the person it was hard to know whether to actually put her age on it. So I hid it behind the circle on a die cut tag!

 Thanks for stopping by the Charisma Cardz Meets Die Cut Crazy Magazine Blog Hop and Challenge. I hope my project inspires you to create your own Spring/Easter project.  Please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by.

Next up in the hop is the Die Cut Crazy Facebook page

Charisma Cardz Challenge

Morning all.  

A few months ago Carlyann asked me if I'd like to come on board at Charisma Cardz and I was delighted to say yes. 




So it's time for a new challenge at Charisma Cardz.

This week our theme is

Inspired By a Movie

We're sponsored by Bugaboo and Digi Stamp Boutique.  

Now, I actually set out to do something else completely different to this but then I had been asked to do a a birthday card with bats on it so I decided to use this Simply Betty image and go with being inspired by The Addams Family! 

I suspect (and actually if I'm honest, I prefer the TV Addams Family to the movie version) that I should probably have gone for a paler skin but actually I quite like the way she looks now!

Challenges I'd Like to Enter

Morticia - Simply Betty
Grunge Flourish - Visible Image
Bats from Edward is Immortal Set - Visible Image

 Colouring Medium 

Copics

Normally I would be back a little later with my card for MAWTT, unfortunately I had a little mishap with it! All will become clear soon.
