Cute Card Thursday 647 - Bright Colours

 A new challenge has started over at Cute Card Thursday and this week we have the theme of Bright Colours. We are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps.

I have used Bucket and Spade from All Dressed Up Stamps. I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using Paper Stumps.The papers are from Echo Park. I have realised I obviously don't do bright colours. I don't have many bright papers. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday although I have rotated it.

Cute Card Thursday 516 - Love

Finally I have managed to make something. The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is all about Love. We are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps.

I have made a pretty simple card using the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. The papers used are from one of these fill a box places. But it kinda works - right. The image is Bon Voyage from All Dressed Up Stamps.

Cute Card Thursday 494 - Autumn

The Challenge this week over at Cute Card Thursday is all about Autumn. And we are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps.

For my card I have used one of the super cute Penguin stamps from Whimsy Stamps and it is a digi stamp, so instant fun. Yay. You can find him here. The papers are from Papermania, I found in amongst my many papers. I have coloured him using Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday so am entering it over there.

Cute Card Thursday 487 - Summer Colours

Yep another week gone by and this week the theme over at Cute Card Thursday is summer colours. I think of summer colours as bright reds/oranges, but the choice is really yours. We are sponsored this week by Di's Digis.

For my card I have used an oldie from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I don't think this one is available anymore. I have coloured her using Copics. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs. And yes, that is a peel off. I have mountains of them, but really don't use them anymore. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and I also want to enter it into the Wonderful Wednesday Challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie.

Cute Card Thursday 481- Boys/Dads

Another week gone by and another Challenge over at Cute card Thursday. This week we are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps. We have the theme of Boys/Dads going on this week.

I don't do Boys cards very often. I tend to go cute and girlie. But I do try once in a while. This image was just calling out to be used. Present for Daddy by All Dressed Up. I have coloured it with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using Paper stumps. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Dirt Diggers by Dream Big Designs. The buttons are MFT die cuts. All very simple really.
I am going to enter it into the Challenge over at Sketch Saturday since I used there sketch.

Cute Card Thursday 476 - Anything Goes

Another week, another challenge. The theme this week over at Cute Card Thursday is Anything Goes. Super easy - right. We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps and boy do they have some super cute stamps (do check out their Penguins)

Well for my card I have used one of those super cute penguins. This one is rubber Penguin and Pup. I have coloured them up with Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using Paper stumps. The papers are from K and Co from many years ago. But I don't buy paper suitable for boys too often. So I dug out some oldies. I have also used an old sketch from Sketch Saturday so would like to enter it over there.

Cute Card Thursday 462 - Something Fun

Yep - time for a new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is Something Fun. We are sponsored this week by Alicia Bel. 

For my card I have used Prince Charming and isn't he cute. The papers are Trim Craft. The feathers are cut from a Joy Crafts die and the button is an MFT die. Coloured with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps.

I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday so I am entering it into that challenge.

Cute Card Thursday 460

Running a bit late in getting this posted. But here I am. There's a new Challenge over at Cute Card Thursday and the theme is buttons. We are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps this week.

I have used Dino for my card. I am trying to make some Boy cards, something I don't make much of. But he was too cute not to use. The papers are real (yeah I know - real papers Haha) from Trim craft. I have also used the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Cute Card Thursday 446 - Anything Goes

This week at Cute Card Thursday we have a super easy challenge for you - Anything goes. So come on, get your projects all linked up. We are sponsored by Bunny Zoe's Crafts. They are closing down, but that just means you get more for your money - right.
I have used this cute digi from Sugar Nellie and coloured her with Copics. The papers are also digi from Michele R Designs. MFT dies to cut her and the sentiment out. And some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Cute Card Thursday 442 - Animals/Creatures

Another week gone and time for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge where they have the theme Animals/Creatures. A nice and easy one for you all. We are sponsored this week by All Dressed Up Stamps. So for my card I used Christmas Post from All Dressed Up. And another Christmas card for the box. Loads more to go right enough. The papers are from Papermania. I really must use up some of my papers. I like Digital papers, but have soo many real papers, that I have to at least try and use them once in a while. The snowflakes are dies from Paper Smooches. The circles are MFT stitched circles and the scallop circle is a Tonic die. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant. For the snow I used some embossing powder - I just love this effect for snow. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday.

Cute Card Thursday 440 - Words and Numbers

Well that's another week over. So here I am with my DT card for the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is words and numbers. We are sponsored this week by Ppinkydolls.  For my card I have used this Cutie from Ppinkydolls. The Happy Birthday is from Whimsy stamps from when they did digi stamps. The balloons are from a Quickutz die that I have had for years. I added the 18 just because really. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday. I am also going to enter it into the Challenge over at In the pink where the theme is make it sparkle.

Cute Card Thursday 439 - Kiddies/Babies

Well it's time for another challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is Kiddies / Babies. So I decided to use this cutie from Mo's Digital Pencil. The papers are from Pink Petticoat and I have coloured him (or her) up using Copics. The die is an MFT die. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Cute Card Thursday 438 - Dressing Up

Yay, I have been asked to join the DT over at Cute Card Thursday. This was one of the first challenges that I came across (and just watched in awe at everyone's creations). So of course I had to say yes. Well, for my first challenge the theme is Dressing up and is being sponsored by All Dressed Up. So I have used Princess for a day from All Dressed Up, I mean everyone likes to be a Princess once in a while don't they. I have coloured her with Polychromos pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps. The papers are a very old set from Papermania. The make a wish is a stamp from Mama Elephant and the tag is an MFT die. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

The Sugar Bowl 138

Yep it's that time again. Time for another Challenge over at Sugar Nellie. These Months are just flying buy aren't they. It'll be Christmas before we know it. Haha - yes I did say the C word. I really do need to start my Christmas cards soon. I usually enjoy making them throughout the year, but I haven't made any this year - oops. Anyway - back to the challenge. As usual it is anything goes, as long as you use a Sugar Nellie stamp. They have a cool prize of 4 stamps or digis of your choice. So dig out your Sugar Nellie / Gorjuss Girl stamps and play along.
Well for my card I have used an oldie. Miss Tulip by Mary Hall. And she is only £2.00 - a bargain. I thought she would be good to colour with the Nature class from Kit and Clowder, but I haven't got the class yet. So when I do eventually get it (yep - I am likely to get it pretty soon) then I may colour her up again to see the difference. The square die is MFT, the Sun is Lil Inker and the tag is a Spellbinder die. The sentiment is Taloured Expressions I think. The paper is digi from Sweet Shoppe Designs - A Whimsical garden by Kristen Cronin Barrow. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday but have rotated it slightly.

The Sugar Bowl 135

Over on the Sugar Nellie Blog they are showcasing Leanne Ellis Stamps this week. So I decided to dig out one for my card for the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. So I used Mermaid, don't you just love her. She is coloured with Copics, and very glittery using Wink of Stella (not that it shows in the picture). The papers are digi from here. I have used several dies - First Edition Crab, La La Land Seaweed, and Marianne Design shell. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I also want to enter her into the ABC Challenge - E for everything (anything goes). Oops, nearly forgot - I used the sketch (which I rotated) from Sketch Saturday so am entering her over there too.

Sketch Saturday with Mo

Woohoo. I'm liking this card. I don't say that too often really. I coloured this Cutie in with Copics and quite like how it turned out. Big Sis has asked me to make some Baby cards for her friends. Hmm - so I leave it to the last minute. Well I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday and used papers from Pink Petticoat - Gingham and washed out. The sentiment is from Personal Impression. I even used my new Sizzix Hearts Embossing Folder. I am also going to enter this into the Bella and Bronte Challenge where they have an anything goes theme.

Simply Betty Sketch Saturday

Wow, another card from me. I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday for this one. The image is from Simply Betty Stamps, she was a freebie to enter in the February Progressive Challenge over on Facebook. She was only free for 24hrs, but can be purchased here. The progressive challenge had the colour combo of black, red and blue. Hmm, not my go to combo right enough. So I decided to go with red and blue papers from Sweet Shoppe Designs and colour her black and white. But then I decided to give her a pop of red. Don't know if it totally works or not, but hey it's done now. Coloured with Polychromos Pencils and blended with Sansador using paper stumps.

The Sugar Bowl 128

Finished another card, this time for the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. I have used an oldie for this one, which has been coloured for a very long time too. I have used a stamp by Mary Hall, but I don't think it is available any more. The bit of paper I have used is from Lili of the Valley. I have followed an older sketch from Sketch Saturday, and luckily they have a take your pick (from past sketches) theme going this week. The dies I have used are all MFT.

Batman in disguise

When I saw the challenge over at Tiddly Inks was all about super powers, I thought this wee Batty Boy would be perfect. Only - oops - I hadn't actually bought him yet. So a little shopping spree was required. Anyway, I coloured him in, but something was wrong. So I Googled Batman, and yes I had coloured him wrong. His suit is grey not black and his cape is blue. OK - note to self, Google BEFORE I colour image. But he still looks cute - right. Anyway, he made it onto a card. And I didn't even use any design papers. That doesn't happen very often with me. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and I also want to enter him into the Papertake Weekly Challenge where the theme is something for the Boys. I am also entering him into the Sweet Stampin Challenge where the theme is black and white with a pop of colour. The wee bat die cut is an old Sizzix Paddle Punch thing that I got before my machines. You hit the die bits with a hammer. I know, life before Bigshots eh.

Mo's Snowman

Over at Mo's Facebook page we were offered this cute snowman free for 24hrs. Of course, I just had to have it. You can now buy it in the shop here. They have also got a wee challenge going to use him over there, so I guess I will enter him on Facebook too. I have followed a sketch from Sketch Saturday, so am entering it over there too. I also want to enter it into the June Challenge at Christmas cards all year round where the theme is Snowman. The papers are digi papers by Michele Roo. The sentiment is from a stamp set by Crafty Impressions. And a Whimsy diecut snowflake.

I turned the sketch upside down for my card.

And Better late than never. Haha. I am also entering this wee Guy into Mo's Challenge over on the Blog. It is an Anything goes challenge.
