Crafty Catz DT - Spots and Stripes

Good morning all!

 

Well here we are again, another Friday and another challenge at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme has been set by Anna who would like to see you all make a card using Spots and Stripes.

 

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous team at Crimson Cloud, who are offering our lucky winners 3 packs of diecuts:

 

So, I have to own to having had a shocking week at work, which has totally messed up my mojo, so this isn't the most inspirational card this week - for that I'm sorry.

The image is one of Tiddly Inks older designs. The paper - featuring both spots and stripes is from a very old magazine pullout. Pips from stash and the butterfly are from a MS punch.

 

Sweet and simple this week - about as much as I could get my mind around.

 

Do pop by everyone else's blogs for some seriously gorgeous inspiration and i'll see you all soon.

 

Until next time, happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - A Gift to Remember

Good morning!

 

Another Friday and another challenge at Crafty Catz. This weeks challenge is my theme and I've chosen 'A Gift to Remember'

 

Now don't panic. You have a number of options this week! you can make a card - but it must feature a present on it (either image or embellishment) OR you can make something in which you would give a gift - box/bag/book card etc OR you can make something which you would give as a gift.

 

We are sponsored this week by the lovely team at Stamp Fairy who are offering our lucky winners

 

 

Now then, on with my creations! I don't know about anyone else but I'm already in full swing making Christmas gifts for friends and family- so as well as making gift tags for them using the fab images from Stamp Fairy, I hope to also inspire you with actual gifts this week!

So, as I said, the tags are made using Stamp Fairy images, hand cut base card, paper and gems from stash.

 

The hearts and needle-felted with marino wool - I'm making a whole batch of these to sell too, in different colours.

 

The candle is decorated with a Penny Black stamp, which I've added gems and ribbon to, to finish off.

 

Hope this has inspired you somewhat to make a gift, or something a bit more unique to add to or send your gift in.

 

Until next time - happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Anything goes

Hello!

How are you all? hope you've had a good week - I have, although coming back from a very hot Malta to traditional British rain has left me in hibernation mode! lol!

Anyway, it's Friday and that means only one thing - it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Catz. This week Janette is letting you all loose with an Anything Goes Challenge. We are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps who are offering out lucky winner 7 images of their choice!

So on with my card and I have used some of the fabulous Bugaboo Bunnies to great a simple note card.

I've coloured the images with promarkers in the following colours; Sandstone, Pastel Pink, Pumpkin, Cool Aqua, Pastel Blue and Gold. The papers are scraps from two different pads. Ribbon, peal off letters and pips are from stash.

 

Like I said, clean and simple but I love how this has turned out. I hope you do to. Don't forget to pop by everyone else's blogs and say hi and until next time, happy crafting!
