Beachy

 Today is the new Sparkles Monthly Challenge

the new theme is

'on the beach'

here is my take

This is a set of inchies (1 inch square) which I made for a swap on Facebook

They are mostly stamped images which I coloured and added 3d enamel effect

The fish is cut out and glued to a background which I made and hand drew the seaweed

The ice cream is washi tape with a patterned paper background and a shell sticker

and the beach ball is a sticker on another of my home made backgrounds

So have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own beachy papercraft project to enter

see you there

Crafty Card

Today is the new Cardz 4 Galz challenge

the new theme is

'check it out (gingham or plaid)'

here is my take

 

I used my check washi tape and stuck it down in a check(ish) pattern

I wanted to make a card for a crafty person so I used my stamp with die set for a sentiment and crafty equipment pictures

I used my large reindeer stamp and the sentiment which came with him

Black, white and red

 Today is a new Cardz 4 Galz challenge

the new theme is

'black, white and one other colour'

here is my take

I have used red as my other colour

The lower pattern I made directly on the card blank and randomly stamped the hearts and stars in red and dots in black

I stamped and coloured the lady birds at the top with a tiny sentiment

I would have used washi tape to divide the top from the bottom but I didn't have any in red so I used a strip of red card which actually works just as well

so have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own project to enter

Snow globe Shaker

It's time for a new Sparkles Monthly challenge

the new theme is

'shaker card'

here is my take

 

I made a snow globe

I gave instructions for making a shaker card using a die cutter and nesting dies on a previous post here

This one was designed on cricut design space and cut out using my cricut 

I included an extra separate circle with the sentiment drawn onto it so I could include some stamping

I used sequins as I have found that they move well in a shaker

here are the snowmen not covered with sequins

so have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own shaker project to enter

see you there

Selfie Pals

Today is a new Cardz 4 Galz Challenge

the new theme is

'get inky'

here is my take

 

I made the red and gold paper by using ink sprays (great fun, very messy)

It was die cut into the 3 selfie frames and I decided they would look good on black card

My new peek a boo stamps and die sets came out to play again

On the background I doodled some bubbles

So have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own inky paper project to enter

Christmas Lights Gnome

Today is the start of a new Winter Wonderland Challenge

The new theme is

'From our Gnome to yours'

The sponsor this month is Conie Fong Art

and the image I got to play with is super cute Christmas Lights Gnome

here is my take

 

I designed the card on my Cricut (yes it does open and stand up)

The sentiment is die cut and the gnome is printed and coloured in

so have a look at Winter Wonderland and make your own Christmas gnomey paper project to share

see you there
