Creative Crafters Challenge #42

 Hi there,

It's time again for a new challenge over at The Creative Crafters blog and I'm here to share with you my DT project. As always our challenge theme is ''Anything Goes'' and so for this month I chose to create a Christmas card with matching gift bag and here they are...hope you like them!


For the card, I created the topper by layering die-cut ribbled kraft card with matt-tastic card ''paper & Woods'' that I printed Christmas music image on to. Adding die-cut vellum poinsettia (created veins on the back for effect using ball tools), foliage, berry sprigs and pine cone, with gold mirri 'Merry Christmas' sentiment. I finished off with a ribbled kraft card border and die cut glitter paper stars with gems. The gift bag I did exactly the same but with die-cut 'Peace' sentiment.

July CAAB Inspiration using Mary:African Mom

 Hi there

Today it's my turn to share some DT inspiration for Cute As A Button. Here I am using Mary:African Mom. Isn't she fabulous, here is what I created using her...

 The image I coloured using promarkers then added the geometric pattern (had found ages ago on the internet thought it very apt for paper piecing) after printing image on to it. In keeping with the colour theme of the pattern, I used a 5x7 black card blank, which I matt and layered green, gold and patterned paper onto, along with a multi coloured fabric ribbon border. To decorate I created gold vellum die cut flowers and green foliage which I placed as shown along ribbon border. Finishing off with glitter glue centres in flowers and gold pearl gems.

Materials Used 
Cute As A Button - 'Mary:African Mom' Image
Promarkers - Cinnamon; Mustard; Pastel Yellow; Shale; Cornflower; Pear Green; Peach & Ice Grey 1, 2 & 3
Limited Edition Promarkers - Morning Mist & March Hare
Hunkydory - Matt-tastic Green Card; Gold Vellum; Moonstone 'Lovely Leaves' & 'Fabulous Flowers' Dies
Ranger - 'Blueberry Ice' Stickles Glitter Glue
My Stash - Gold Linen Card; Patterned Paper; Fabric Ribbon & Gold Gems

Cute as a Button - Challenge #70

 Hi there all, 
After a short break, I'm now back to doing what I have missed...crafting...It's been a roller coaster of a couple of months sadly with family bereavement and illness and also during that time I lost my crafty mojo too, but hope it's back for a good while now!!! 

It's the start of a new month so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Cute as a Button. As normal the theme is 'Anything Goes' but you could try our twist of 'Use a hand punch and/or die'. We would love for you to come and join us, sharing your fab creations! For my project I have used the image Wedding Day. Isn't it just gorgeous!!! I loved playing with this and here is what I created...


I just knew what I was going to do with this, as I had previously used this design before and love it. It is a fave of mine...can't you tell!! For the base I die cut lavender non-shed glitter card and layered with a lovely floral shimmer die cut. The image I printed in reverse and carefully cut out, I coloured using promarkers and added touches of glitter for effect. I created the floral border using die cut lavender parchment for the flowers and various green card for foliage and finished off with peel-off sentiment.

Materials Used 
Cute as a Button - 'Wedding Day' Image
ProMarkers - Vanilla; Blush; Ivory; Tulip Yellow; Sandstone; Caramel; Pear Green; Lavender; Lilac; Orchid; Amethyst; Purple and Turquoise
Hunkydory - 'Floral Shimmer' Paper; 'Purple Lavender' Diamond Sparkle Glitter Card; 'Various Green' Matt-tastic Card; Purple Parchment; Moonstone Scalloped & Straight Oval, Floral Fancy, Lovely Leaves and A Jar Full of Wildflowers Dies
Joy Craft - Stand Die
Ranger - 'Lavender' & 'Yellow' Stickles Glitter Glue
My Stash - Peel Offs
