A Guid New Year!

Morning Folks, well not had a good start to the week what with one thing and another including slicing my finger twice, (ouchhhh) with my craft scissors, lack of concentration on my part!! Scheduled blog post not posting yesterday, anyways eventually I'm here showcasing one of the fantastic new images from the 'Thistle Collection' by Delightful Digi's , very apt for me!!!
So without further ado here is my first sample, an easy to make desk calendar....

My Sample

Products Used 

Delightful Digi's - Thistle 3 image

Papermania - Calendar and ribbon 

Promarkers - Lavender, Lilac, Amethyst, Pear green, Lime zest and Marsh green

Cosmic Shimmer Twinkles - Frosty Heather and Frosty Jade
Various card and gems from my stash

First of all I took an A4 sheet of green card from my stash and scored as shown here marked in black, using the Hougie Board then folded to create a DL shape ...

I printed the image on to watercolour card, added some text, coloured with Promarkers, cut to size and layered on lilac then silver card, trimming the corners. Adding some Cosmic Shimmer Twinkles to highlight! I layered together a strip of silver and lilac card, placing this across the middle of the calendar, adding the image topper to the left, then layered calender topper to the right, finishing off with ribbon and gems from my stash...

Trick or Treat - New Challenge at Crafty Addicts

Morning all, welcome to a brand new challenge this morning over at The Crafty Addicts. Our sponsors for this month are Sassy Studio Designs and A day for Daisies, the latter I have used. The image I chose is Vintage Spider Costume. I know a little early for Halloween but I really loved this image. Instead of a card I decided to create a pillow treat box, very apt for trick or treating!! So without further ado, here is the finished creation:-

My Project

Products Used

A Day for Daisies - Vintage Spider Costume

Papermania - Halloween backing paper, sentiment sticker and adhesive gems

X-cut dies - Pillow box

Promarkers - Lavender, Lilac, Almond and Blush

Prima - Flower

Glitter card and ribbon from my stash

First of all I die cut out the pillow box using X-Cut die, I added ribbon across box. I die cut the corner spiders web with glitter card joining together to make a full web and layered on top of the ribbon. I printed out the image to size and coloured with Promarkers adding onto the web. To finish off I added the flower, gems, sentiment and ribbon bow.

Monochrome Birthday

Hiya Folks, how are you all, hope you have had a fab holiday weekend!! Mine has been great and still is, hubby and I have taken a break away for a few days, visiting his cousin down in Derbyshire. Have been having a lovely time, even managed to spend a day at Phill Martin's Craftathon on Sunday, what a fab day, brill demos by both Phill and Julia Watts too!! Met some lovely ladies too, Alison, Babs and Meg....not to forget Phill's right hand help, the lovely Barb!! I'm now planning my next trip down for November!!!!!
Well onto today, I'm here showcasing my new DT project for A Crafty Mess new challenge which starts this morning. Our sponsor this month is the fab Morgans Artworld and the image I've used is Goth Fairy. Here is my finished project...

My Project

Products used

Morgan's Artworld - Digi Image

Indigo Blu - Flourish stamp

Visible Image - Sentiment stamp

Papermania - Adhesive gems

Memento- Black Ink

Decided that I would like to do another monochrome card, can't go wrong with them, so I started by stamping Indigo Blu flourish in top corner, then added black ribbon down opposite side, along with black glitter paper and black velvet patterned paper I had in my stash. I printed out image then, layered on to more black glitter paper and then white card. Placing this on top of the layered papers, stamping Visible Image birthday sentiment and finishing off with adding pearls and gems.....Here are some more photos....
