The image is a new Lili of the Valley one. The background is digi papers from Lili of the Valley too. I'm loving these with the images which come in different formats. I have used a PNG one here.

The papers are digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs. I used dies for the cobwebs from Whimsy Stamps. But it's an old one, so don't know if it's still available. The Penguin is a digi image from Whimsy Stamps from here or in rubber here. The Ghosts are dies from Memory Box, again rather old. And the chocolate is all eaten. Haha.

Cute Card Thursday 650 - Anything Goes

We have a new Challenge over at Cute Card Thursday with a very easy Anything Goes theme. We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps this week.


For my card I have used Gnome Fishing. A super cute digital stamp. I have coloured him using Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using Paper stumps. 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.

Thursday 27 August 2020

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.

Yay. I have coloured him with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are digi too from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Adventure:Badger by Studio Flergs.

Cute Card Thursday 645 - Tags

On to another challenge over at Cute Card Thursday and this week we have the theme of Tags. We are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.


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.


Thursday 23 July 2020

Cute Card Thursday 644 - Christmas in July

Onto another week, so another challenge over at Cute Card Thursday. We have the theme Christmas in July and are sponsored by Oddball Art.


I made a box/bag thingie for this one. It fits a mini bottle of wine in. I found the wee chocolate Santa, he must have avoided being eaten. So I used him as a prop then ate him - haha.

Thursday 16 July 2020

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.

Another challenge has started over at Cute Card Thursday and this week we have the theme of Not Square. We are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps.


I decided to make a shaped card. I used a Dutchdubadoo stencil for the bottle. Cut out using scissors. That's the part I don't like. I don't think I am very neat at that. But I'm kinda happy with it. A wee bit of Gingham paper. The image is a simply print from Lili of the Valley.

Thursday 2 July 2020

I have used a retired rubber stamp for my card this week from Whimsy stamps. You can find some of the collection here in the UK. The dies are a mix. I was going to colour them in but sat them on top to see how they fit. Thought they looked OK white, so stuck them down before I changed my mind.

Coloured with Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps.

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.

Thursday 9 April 2020

Cute Card Thursday 629 - Ribbon

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

Another week gone by and another Challenge over at Cute Card Thursday and a super easy theme of Anything Goes for you. This week we are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps.


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.
