EAC - Baby Boy Gift Card

Today's project is a present within a card. I have made it for this weeks challenge over at Everybody Art Challenge which has the theme "Baby". Be sure to check out the other DT members for more inspiration.

To make my card I have used the tutorial created by my fellow DT member - Tina - Click Here. Thanks sweetie your instructions were perfect.

I have used the excellent sketch created by Rach over at Friday Sketchers.

The inside of the card contains a pair of socks/booties and there is plenty of room to add a few other items.

I have used a cute digital image from KLM Digital Stamps called New Baby's Foot.

The papers are a mixture of digital papers from Graphics-U-$ell

and Nitwit Collections.

The circle is a Nellie Snellen multi frame and to this I have used a Cuttlebug embossing folder - Swiss Dots, I have also used a Martha Stewart punch. The embellishments are ribbon from my ever growing hoard, pearls, gems, a button and Prima flowers. I have also added stickles around the edge of the papers but it's difficult to see in my picture.

The sentiment on the inside is a LOTV stamp.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Stamp something - digi week

Auds Sentiments Challenge

Digital Tuesday Challenge - Welcome little One

Thanks for looking and I hope you like the card.

Put a Spring in your Step

Another Tuesday and another card for the Everybody Art Challenge Blog. This week the theme is Spring.

To make my easel card I have used the excellent sketch from Friday Sketchers and one of my new Magnolia stamps from the Spring Stamp Club.

This card also fits into a couple of challenges, they are:

Friday Sketchers - Sketch

Magnolia Down Under - Flower Power

The Corrosive Challenge Blog - Distressing

Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday - Easel

r

Materials used:

Core Couture - glitter card for base

Papers - My Minds Eye, Dovehouse Tea House

Medium - Prisma Pencils

Sentiment - LOTV

Embellishments - Prima Flowers, Wild Orchid Crafts, Pearl brads, Lace and Ribbon

Dies - Spellbinder Circles, Nellie Snellen borders and flower die.

The Nellie Snellen dies I picked up at the Make It craft weekend at Farnborough. These dies are definitely the way forward for me, not only are they reasonably priced at £8, they store easier than the Martha Stewart punches.

This was the first craft show I have enjoyed for a long time. Usually they are so busy that its very difficult to see things and I get fed up with crowds very quickly. I got to Farnborough just after lunch and it was bliss!

Thanks for looking.

Friday Sketchers Challenge #59 - Anniversary - Orange, Green & Brown

I was hoping to combine two challenges this week, Friday Sketchers and Copic Colour Challenge but I couldn't get my card finished in time. Luckily I'm not too late for Friday Sketchers. The sketch, created by Claudia was really nice to use and I'm pleased with the outcome. Items used to make the card: Copics - E47 Dark Brown, YG23 New Leaf, YR68 Orange Image - Sarah Kay, Boy Kissing Girl clear stamp Papers - Basic Grey Porcelain paper & Scarlets Letter & Papermania Gold paper Ribbon - Gold Satin & Gold Grosgrain Flowers - Cream Silk Roses coated in Cosmic Shimmer Burnt Marigold & Burnt Red I have used scissors to distress the paper edges and coloured with orange and brown distress inks. Thanks for looking.

Baby Girl - Friday Sketchers No. 48

Here is a card I have made for a friend who is due to give birth to a baby girl sometime this week hopefully. I have used this weeks sketch created by Kristina over at Friday Sketchers. It was a really nice design to use. It's not using a DL card as the sketch suggests just a simple 6" square card. This is my first attempt at using my new copic ciao pens and I'm quite pleased with the results. Choosing the paper was a nightmare as always, I never seem to have the right papers for the job. Here is a view from the inside.

Happbee Birthday - Friday Sketchers Challenge No.45

This is the first ever card I have made to enter into a weekly challenge and it was a challenge just to get it finished. I didn't have a blog at the time so emailed it to a very talented lady by the name of Claudia Rosa and she uploaded it to the Friday Sketchers blog. The backing papers were freebies from a card magazine. To create the punched detail I used Kreations 3 in-one punch. The ribbon was a pale yellow and I stamped a flower design, part of the flowers & tassels foam stamp set from QVC and then embossed. The flower was made using a Spellbinder flower die. The Bee stamp is by Impressions Picture Stamps

Friday Sketchers No. 46 Challenge

Here is a card I had planned on completing for the Friday Sketchers challenge a few weeks ago, unfortunately every day life took over and I didn't get it finished in time. Its now finished and I have used it for a Cousins birthday that is coming up very soon. I have used K&CO 12x12" Classic Paper and a Flower Fairy stamp that came free with a card magazine some time ago. I kept the insert simple, partly to do with my time needed for other things.
