Sparkle and shine

By    December 22, 2022 // No comments

Hello everyone

Me again, back this time with the cutest new releases from All dressed up.

All of the images are available from etsy here the image I used is called Sparkle, and she is perfect for new years, or any other celebration.



She was coloured in copics and fussy cut.  I then used an old Anna Marie stamp set for the congrats in the background and a spotty stencil.  The papers are off cuts from my scrap box.  All layered together, finished with sparkle pens and glossy accents.

the full set of new release images are:

Cookie girl

Sparkle

Winter pups

Penguin fun

 Hi everyone

The latest challenge on Polkadoodles blog is live now!

Here is my inspiration for this challenge using the super cute penguin set called latte Christmas greetings


After colouring the images with copics, I set the scene by fussy cutting everything out and then cutting down my side fold card blank to form a snowy bank.  Behind it is some snowy polkadoodles papers.

They look so cute

Winter wedding

By    December 03, 2022 // 6 comments

Hello friends

Today marks another fortnightly Polkadoodles challenge, with an anything goes theme.  For the DT we were asked to make things with an elegant winter wedding theme.  

These gnomes are actually part of the Christmas collection, but i felt they were really appropriate for a bride and groom. 



I made a faux stepper card, using cream card that i stencilled with vintage photo distress oxide.  The stencil is called Beautiful snowflake

The image Gnome meet me under the mistletoe was coloured in brown tones for a monochrome feel.  

It also needed some florals, so I used this stamp set called Poinsettia greetings and chopped the pot off the bottom, leaving cream blooms to decorate.

What you can't see in the photo is all the sparkle added withs stickles and a clear glitter pen.

Please hop on over to the Polkadoodles blog and check out the DT inspiration.

Bundle of Joy

 Hello crafters

Today I'm sharing the latest DT inspiration for our Facebook challenge over at all dressed up.  Each month on the 1st we have a new theme for you to make projects for and enter for a chance to win some images from the fabulous Wendy Burns.

This month our theme is clean and simple.

I do love a CAS card, and here is mine using a stamp called night night little one 


I printed the image and coloured with copics and Spectrum noir tri blend brush markers

The paper is from my stash and the sentiment stamp is from a waltzing mouse set that I have had for around 15 years!

The only other finishing touch was a clear glitter sparkle pen on the flower and on the pads of her feet.

Memory book

By    November 19, 2022 // No comments

 Hi everyone

Today is the latest Challenge over at Polkadoodles.  The DT are sharing ideas for gifts and packaging as the polka doodles products range can be used for much more than cards

I made this book using the last Christmas release of the cute gingerbread people.  I used the stamps and the papers to make a memory book I can fill with photos over Christmas to gift to someone in the new year.

Its so cute.  I'm adding photos but you could put recipes, memorabilia, or just journal your festive period.



The full download pack can be found here.

To join our challenge, nip over to our blog here, I can't wait to see your makes!

I'll see you all again soon, thank you so much for commenting and following me!

Celebration Winnie

By    November 07, 2022 // 10 comments

Hello crafters

Welcome to another blog challenge over at Polkadoodles, this one is anything goes, and you have a chance of winning three digi images.  There are some fab new releases too!

This time I made an Easel card using greens and yellows.  I did it to match her bottle of bubbly!

She is either a digi image or a stamp and the flowers are from the blossoming blooms collection


 

All coloured with copics and fussy cut, I used an A6 card to make the easel shape.  A oval die cut in jade pearlescent card to make the lovely Winnie stand out.

The flowers were then stacked behind and on the base so it all stands up, and of course a touch of stickles for sparkle!

I'd like to enter this into:

I hope you like her - I think she is perfect for any celebration!

Please leave me a comment below if you have landed here or follow me on my other social media channels.

See you soon
