Twinkle, Twinkle

Hi, I hope you had a great weekend.

It's a new week and a new challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges.  It is my turn to host the challenge and, because there is something of the magpie about me, I am asking you to show us some sparkle on your projects for the next two weeks.  It could be glitter, gems, mirri card, gilding flakes, in fact, anything with a reflective surface.

I do not think any of my cards escape without a little bit of sparkle and today I have a card in a box to share with you.  I really like this style of card, although they take me a lot longer to make, but I think that they are worth it.  I love the dimension and the sense of movement that they have.

I cut all of the hearts from glitter card using a Sissix Bigz die.  I used a combination of light pink, dark pink, red and white glittered cards.

The box panels are covered with even more glittered card and some silver mirri card.  The final touches were some pretty pink ribbon and a heart shaped gem.

I am looking forward to seeing your sparkling projects.  In the meantime, please hop across to the Crafty Boots Challenges blog to see all of the wonderful projects the rest of the Design Team have made.

Good luck.

A Little Chocolate Pip

Good morning

I have another Easter card to share with you today.

You may think you are having deja vu because I posted a card with this image earlier this week.  Regular visitors to my blog will recall that I have set myself a personal challenge whilst making my Easter cards this year.  Like most crafters I never throw anything away and I have a big folder of images that over the years I have printed but never used,  I also have an even bigger folder of papers left over from other projects.   So, I set myself a challenge to use up some of my 'spare' images and paper and this is why you have seen this image before.

This image is one of Sugar Nellie's Home Grown digital Sherbet Pip stamps, it is called Chocolate Pip. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Wink of Stella pens and then I mounted it on gold mirri card.  Everything else has come from my stash.

The flower were made with a Martha Stewart 'Hydrangea' punch and the butterfly is a Stampin' Up die.

Thank you for dropping by today.

It is a wet and miserable day here today, the weather is so changeable at the moment.  I thought that the weather today called for a bright and cheerful card.

Carly at Easter

Hi fellow bloggers

I hope that you had a good week.  We have has some fantastic weather, however, last evening was rather gloomy and the forecast is not good for today.

The current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is Easter and I have another Easter card to share with you today.  This little cutie is called Easter Carly and she is from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I have sooooo much in my crafty stash, it is getting out of control.  Like most crafters I never throw anything away and I have a big folder of images I have printed and never used and an even bigger folder of papers left over from other projects.   So, I set myself a personal challenge with my Easter cards this year - to use up some of my 'spare' images and paper. 

I coloured the image with Promarkers and I cut the butterflies out of some of the paper scraps.

Thank yo for dropping by today.
