Tilda & Co template challenge ~12~

My wonderful husband went shopping yesterday, full of cold and whilst buying the essentials he took a special detour to find me a jar for all my flowers. How sweet is he? The jar he chose is absolutely gorgeous. Big enough for me to get my paw in and there is still penty of room for more.
Anyway it desprately needed some decoration so this is my entry for the Tilda & Co challenge. You needed to include their template and I thought this would be perfect.
I have called it Floral Fantasy.

I used:

Papers - Basic Grey
Ribbon - Local craft shop
Flowers - Prima
Label - Around the Block label writer
Liquid Chalk
Zig markers
Clear Sakura pen for the wings
Prismacolor pencils, blended with Zest-it

Cute Card Thursday ~ All Creatures Great and Small

As soon as I saw the challenge this week I knew that I wanted to use this stamp. Biggly is just so sweet stealing all the honey and making his getaway!

I used:
Paper - We are Memory Keepers
Cardstock - DCWV and Papermill
Stamp - Gruffies- Honey on the run, coloured with prismacolor pencils and blended with Zest-it
Thick Cuts - Bookplates
Rivets - Can't remember, had them ages!
Sentiment - printed on the computer and edged with Cats eyes fluid chalk

Papertake Weekly Challenge ~ Weather with you

This is my entry for Papertake Weekly
Challenge . The theme is "weather with you".

I really want the spring weather to hurry up and get here because that's when the year starts to get really fun and this is why I chose the wording on the card.

This time last year here in the UK we were basking in sunshine. The flowers were all out and there was a real sense that summer was just around the corner.

Alas, today is cold, gloomy and miserable.

Tilda & Co Challenge ~ Hidden Secrets

This is the first time I have ever made a slider card and I have to say that it was a little nerve wracking but it was lots of fun.

I made this with an H frame in the centre and a plastic food bag. It slides beautifully and I think it will be robust enough for my Daughter on her 10th Birthday next month.

Unfortunately I am not able to get any photos which show the wings and flowers glittered. It's all very sparkly in real life but the light here today is very poor so these photos will have to do.


This card is also my entry for the Tilda & Co Challenge Blog week 11 - Hidden Secrets which can be found via the link at the side of my blog.

Three in One!

This is my Son's Birthday card, he wants to go to the Download Festival this year (and has already bought his ticket) so I thought this and £200 spending money would suit his needs.

I used some pyramid studs from a denim jacket I wore when I was pregnant with him and made some barbed wire thread for the buttons out of craft wire. The papers are from Rusty Pickle.

This is also my entry for two challenges, the first is Papertake Weekly challenge (frame card), and the second is Tilda & Co (from boys to men).

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #1

Something new for me, my first EVER blog challenge! I'm very nervous but willing so please be gentle lol!

The challenge this week is to create a card with the theme as New Beginnings/First, the only other criteria is that the card has to be cute.

I have used:
Whipper Snapper - Sorry Pup stamp
K&Co paper
DCWV cardstock
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
Prima Flowers
Cats Eye fluid chalks
Assorted brads
Prismacolor pencils and Zest-It to blend

In for another battering

It looks as though we are going to be hit by more strong winds tomorrow, so far (touch wood), we have been ok. My husband did inform me this morning that he had to retrieve our 2' X 6' tool shed as it was partly in our neighbours garden. We built it together about three years ago to cover a gate between the two houses. Our only plan was sketched on the back of a receipt and we had much fun painting it so I would be very upset if anything happened to it in this bad weather.

This card was a challenge because I find it difficult to work with orange (I think that I am also wishing for warmer weather).

I used:
Paper = Basic Grey & Papermania
Cardstock = DCWV
Brads = Papermania
Flowers = Papermania
Ribbon = Papermania
Adhesive Stones = Papermania
Rub-ons = Printed on the PC
Frame = X-cut shape cutter and scallop scissors
Embossing = Cuttlebug folder
Image = Raincoat Tilda, coloured with Prismacolors and blended with Zest-it.
