Glitter

Good morning ladies.. I feel really good today for a Monday .. .. must be because I had a long weekend and did lots of crafting. I really have to do this again he he 

So, being Monday, it's Stamp Fairy time and we are in the second week of our GLITTER challenge. This time, for something different, I decided make a Baby Card. 

I thought Toby Angel would be perfect for a baby card. I coloured Toby with my promarkers and then added glitter to his little wings. The background paper is also from Stamp Fairy, my dies are Spellbinders .. ..

expect for this one, which is from Crafty Sentiments. I love this die, as it's a great embellishment as well, and find it really useful when I sometimes don't know what to add to my card. Sentiment is also Crafty Sentiments.

Here is the latest release at Stamp Fairy - Little Tommy dressed as Santa.

And these are the challenges for my card

The Cutie Pie Challenge 5 - BEARS

Pixie Dust Paperie - PHOTO INSPIRATION

Bearly-Mine 23 - ONE FOR THE BOYS

Do You Stack Up 46 - SPLASH OF BLUE

One Stop Craft 158 - BLUE

I got some really fabulous news now.

I was a winner at I Love Promarkers Challenge

 

and won a fab £10 gift certificate from Crafts 4 You

woo hoo.. so exciting. Can't wait to have a play with the lovely goodies I got.

Thank you for looking today.

Christmas Trees

It is a really nice sunny day today, so different than yesterday when it was raining ..  I really felt like going out this morning, so off I went to Rabat for the Sunday market and then walked it to Mdina. Was really nice, so many tourists. Pity my boys didn't want to join me and hubby wanted to wash the cars and cook the Sunday lunch, it would have been much nicer.. we could have stayed out for lunch as well.

Anyway, this is a Christmas card that I was really inspired to do after I saw this week's last challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.

At first I had thought to emboss the background but then, wanting to use my new Marianne Creatables Christmas tree die that I had got from Lothian Crafts, I realised I wasn't going to do any stamping, so I stamped the background with some clear stamps that I had, and also embossed them with clear embossing powder as well.

Didn't make it as quick as if I had done embossing, but I really loved how it turned out. I also inked the trees with green ink, then added lots of glitter, and to finish them off added some silver die cuts for ornaments which I had saved after die-cutting some snowflakes with my Nestabilitis dies.. yay :)

This is the photo which inspired me from the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long Challenge

... and I found some other challenges too that fit my card.

Wishing you a lovely Sunday

Birthday Bash at Sweet Stampin'

I had a really good day yesterday.. I took the day off from work and spent most of it in my craft room he he . These last few weeks I was staying overtime nearly everyday, so I really needed this!

Anyway, here is my card for today and it's my DT card for this week's new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. All the girls are playing in this week as it's our 2nd Birthday, and the theme of course had to be BIRTHDAYS.

We have some fabulous sponsors this week, one of them being Saturated Canary, from which I was so lucky to get to choose my image.  I was so excited about this as I don't have any of these images.. so after lots of time I finally decided on this adorable Bunny The Magician digi image. 

I coloured my image with my promarkers, added some frosting on her skirt and colouring her hair blue just for fun, papers are from a Me To You paperpack, sentiment and die are from Crafty Sentiments, who also happen to be one of our sponsors, and the leaves dies are Marianne Creatables. 

I followed this sketch to do my card today.

These are my challenges for my card

Willow Sketchie - THE SKETCH

Paper Sundaes 95 - DIGI IMAGE

Delightful Sketches - BINGO (flowers, die-cuts, patterned paper)

and now finally these are all the fabulous sponsors for this week

Crafty Sentiments - £10 voucher to spend in the store

My Creative Classroom - a free seat to a class of their choice

Prairie Fairy - a $10 gift certificate to spend in their store

Saturated Canary - 2 digis from the store

Wow so many.. but that is not all.. As a special treat there are also some commentor's prizes hidden randomly on DT blogs... So what are you waiting for, get stamping to make a Birthday Card and have fun.

Thank you for looking today.

More Wedding Cards

I've been working again on the Wedding cards for the big boss .. I managed to do another two now.

For something different I used white card this time and added some ribbon too. In both I used my new wood mounted rubber stamp which I got from SirStampalot.

This card I combined it with light blue card and touches of silver peel-offs...

and added some white organza ribbon and the hearts Marianne Creatables dies...

and this one I combined it with silver card, printed organza ribbon... and added my Marianne Creatables English Rose die and leaves.


Doesn't show much but I embossed the sentiment of both cards with silver ink and clear embossing powder.

I really loved how they turned out, me preferring the first one mostly...

In the meantime I also got their feedback, which was a bit disappointing unfortunately as they want them simpler... and want me to remove the rose, leaves and hearts!!!! aarrrgh ... 

I really don't know what to say :( ?? !!

Anyway .. onto something else... I was this week babbling about my new uniform, I thought I would post a piccie of me now.. I'm sure you're curious to see... I'm wearing the pinafore here .. I luv this uniform.. so much smarter than the other one we had :)

Spotlight Technique

Good morning ladies, hope you are enjoying your week so far... I am just so happy this week wearing a new work uniform  : ) Yesterday I wore the skirt combined with the shirt, waistcoat and blazer, and today I'm going to wear the pinafore + shirt and blazer yay ..  I hope the novelty doesn't wear off to soon he he ..

Anyway, I have my DT card today for this week's new challenge at Crafty Sentiments and the theme for this week is SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE. This is something that I had never tried before but I ended up really enjoying myself making .. and it's now one of those cards that I just can't part with!

For my card I used my fave stamp from the Autumn Collection, Primrose Autumn Leaves. I coloured her with my promarkers, embossing on the sides with my Sizzix embossing folder and two butterflies, some pearls and some gorgeous pretty pink felt to finish it off. This I had won from my blogger friend Lorraine.

Glitter

Hello Happy Monday everyone. It's Stamp Fairy time today and the theme for this fortnight is to use GLITTER... .. I thought this was a really good theme to make me another Christmas card ....  really feeling I am not going to be late with my Christmas cards this year yay :)

For my card today I used the cute Donny Ice Skating digi stamp which I coloured with my promarkers and of course lots of glittered stuff. 

When I was doing this card I challenged myself to use stash that I've had for a long time... I think I did a good job out of this because I used glittered peel-offs snowflakes and sentiment from Papermania, more peel-offs on the sides and the Sizzix embossing folder, all stuff which I had never used. I am so pleased with myself today :) 

These are the latest releases at Stamp Fairy
