 OK, so I'm a little late with this. But consider it a midway (and some) reminder. The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is still going on and is a super easy anything goes challenge. We are sponsored by My Creative Scoop.

The papers are from a very old 12x12 paper pad by My Minds Eye. I had a wee tidy up (only a wee tidy, I am easily distracted) and found a big pad hardly used. The grass is an old Quickutz die and the buttons are an MFT die.

The image is a pre coloured image from Dustin Pike and you can find it here. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and can be found here. I was planning on using a different sentiment, but my Big Shot die cutting machine died. So I went with what I had cut already. I'm looking at it now thinking I really want another sentiment on there though. I don't do cutting with scissors, so will have to wait. Although my Birthday is coming up, so plenty of hints to Hubby. Haha.

I decided to make a tag with a pocket. Not that you can see the pocket. I printed the image a bit too big. But I decided to use it anyway. But I made the pocket, then didn't know what to put in it. Luckily it was big enough to fit these wee Dairy Milk Little Bars. Takes 2 nicely. Like it ws made to measure. Haha. Anyway, the papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - All Hallows Eve by Kristen Cronin-Barow. The tag is an MFT die and the ghosts are Memory Box. The Boo is a digi from Whimsy Stamps, but don't know if they are still doing it. The image is of course from Bugaboo and you can get him here.

Cute Card Thursday 643 - Stitching

Another week gone by and another challenge over at Cute Card Thursday and this week we have the theme of stitching. We are sponsored by Dis Digi Stamps.


I don't actually do stitching on my cards. So with the help of dies and a bit of doodling I went with faux stitching. I didn't really know where I was going with this one. So I went with the Christmas theme from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Facebook which is pink and green. The image is Gingerbread Kisses from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday.


I then decided to add it onto a bag instead of leaving it as a card. We all need some gift bags - right. The papers are digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Happy Holidays by Zoe Pearn.

Anyway I have used this cute Bee from Kraftin Kimmie StampsSweet as can be. Of course being a thicker card, I had to make a box too. so it fits nicely in the box. Don't know that it will post well though. The papers are digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs - H is for honey by Grace Lee. The honeycomb die is from Whimsy Stampshere.


I'm going to enter the box into the Kraftin Kimmie Scrappy Challenge. Anything but a card. Although I feel a bit of a fraud with the box as it's only the sentiment I used. But I'll enter it anyway.

Onto another week here at Cute Card Thursday and we have a nice and easy Ribbons Challenge. I mean - who doesn't love ribbons. We are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps.
I made a super quick Gift Card holder. But I must confess, the inner white bit is stuck down squint. Bummer. But I'm guessing a nice wee gift card in there could divert your attention. Yeah.



The sentiment is Riley Stamps and I think I got it from Amazon. Like I said super quick. And no designer papers in sight. Now that doesn't happen very often.

Thursday, 2 April 2020

For my card I used the freebie TP Dudley. And how cute is he. He definitely brought a smile to my face. I also wanted to make a Rainbow, like the kids are making and putting in windows. Then I thought about a pot of gold. Then the idea of the toilet paper came about. It's definitely like gold just now. I had a cloud embossing folder on my desk, so thought that would be perfect. No idea who makes it though. The Rainbow is an MFT Die and the Scallop Mat is Creative Expressions. The cloud is W Plus 9. He is coloured with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps.
