My DT Diary......

Good afternoon fellow Crafters, I would like to share with you my challenge entry for The Stamping Chef's 1st Birthday Challenge. I used the free ''Keep Calm & Craft'' digi fabulously designed and drawn by the even more fabulous Tamara Van Wrijk.....

For my base I used my DT Diary and coverd using Creata patterned backing card, the free TSC digi which I coloured in using Promarkers. For embellishments I die cut leaf flourishes using Joy Craft die and Creata mirror board, the flowers, brads, gems and ribbon were all from my stash. The sentiment I made up by die cutting 1 Spellbinders scalloped circle and circle die and added peel offs to finish....Now I will be able to keep myself up-to-date with my work...Lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such wonderful comments!

Good morning Folks...hope you are all keeping warm in this cold weather...that's one thing I hate and that's being cold when I'm trying to craft!...Well this morning sees a new Anything Goes/Button Up (Add a Button) challenge over at Craftitude. For my sample I have used the Stamp Christmas Girl by Eureka Stamps.

My Sample

For my sample I used Creata mirror board for my background, then cut out 4 9cm squares of Creata silky card and embossed using folders in my stash. I printed digi on to water colour card and coloured using Promarkers, Almond, Blush, Sandstone, Tan, China Blue, Denim and Cool Grey 1. I cut it out using Spellbinders label eight and mounted on to Creata mirror board cut out using decorative labels eight. For embellishing I used flowers, brads, gems, and charms from my stash. I used the Joy Craft snowflake and leaf flourish dies on Creata mirror board. The sentiment I stamped using the Snowman clear stamps by Crafter's Companion.

Hope this helps in giving you some inspiration. For more ideas, why not hop over to Craftitude and see what the rest of the talented DT has created, then have a go at our challenge! You know you want to!!..... Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments!

My Sample

Close Ups

For my sample I started off with a plain black card blank, I stamped Christmas trees and Santa sleigh, both free from Creative Stamping magazine, with Versamark clear ink and embossed with bright white Wow embossing powder. I die cut the Joy Craft small snowflake twice from Creata grey mirror board, and sanded back to show the silver underneath, added gems from my stash as snowdrops. I cut out a piece of the same Creata card in a snowdrift shape and sanded back too...added some silver Ranger Stickle glue and some silver ink to edge. I coloured the image using Promarkers, Pine, Red, Almond, Blush, Tan and Cinnamon. To finish off I used diamond Ranger Stickle glue on the belt to highlight.

Hope this has given you some inspiration to get yout creative juices flowing....for more ideas, please pop over to Crafty Girls to see what the rest of the fab Design Team have created. Hope to see all your lovely creations. Thanks so much for stopping by....and leaving such lovely comments!
