Inky Impressions Lace or Ribbon

Hi everyone,

It's hit that time of year again down here :( Winter weather, boo. I shouldn't complain as we really do have a mild winter here but I don't like the cold, I find it difficult to craft when it's cold, I just want to curl up with a blankie and hide. Having said that I did manage to get myself crafting to make a fun card for this weeks challenge at Inky Impressions. I made a cute card to give to a work colleague who has just had a baby girl.

Here it is;

I have had these DCWV Kiddlet papers for a while so they jumped out at me to be used for this project. I thought I would keep it fairly simple as the image and papers were so fun so I just finished it off with my favourite ric rac ribbon and then my standard gems, can't have a card without gems.

I hope you are having lovely weather where you are and that you are madly crafting away.

Happy crafting

Inky Impressions More Than One Fold

Hi,

So..... I am a square kind of girl so when I saw the theme for this weeks challenge I knew I would have to change it up a bit. I have to admit that I didn't really have a plan when I started this card, I just let it work it out itself. So for my 'More than one fold' card I decided to do a tent fold and then to add some extra dimension to it I decided to make it into a pyramid sort of thing.

Here it is;

This is Wishing Well Fairy and I think she is super pretty. I love this colour combo and it goes perfectly with these DCWV papers. The sentiment is also from Inky Impressions, I think it will be really useful, whenever I am playing with fairies.

Extra fold cards are not my strong suit however they make me think outside of the box. I know that some of you are so good at these so I would really love to see them this week. Happy crafting everyone.

Cheers Nicole

Penny's Challenge 225

Hi everyone,

This is my final post for Penny's. I have had so much fun as part of the Design Team and I am sorry to leave however family life is shifting gears and creating a busy life that I am having trouble keeping up with. My last DT card is using a gorgeous stamp from Little Blue Button Stamps and oh she was so lovely to colour. The theme this week is Anything but Square, most of my cards are square so it was a challenge for me. :)

Here is my card;

I am pretty pleased with how she turned out, these colours are so pretty and her dress has just the right amount of folds to keep me challenged. The paper is beautiful so I didn't want to cover it up too much hence my reason to keep my card quite simple.

Thanks for visiting me over my time at Penny's.

Inky Impressions Recipe Challenge

Hi there,

This weeks theme at Inky Impressions involves a recipe and the ingredients are 1 image, 2 papers and 3 flowers. An easy recipe to follow so it led to an easy make. I have used a super cute image for my card this time, it had been sitting on my desk waiting for just the right challenge.

Here it is;

The image is called Teddy Tea Party and I have also used the Time to Par-tea sentiment. This is a fun image so I decided to use some fun papers that I had been saving. This card was so fun to make and a fab little image that was great to colour.

Thanks for dropping by, I hope to come visit you when you enter this weeks challenge.

Penny's Challenge 224

Hi folks,

I hope you are doing well and that you have had a wonderful week. I have made a cute little boy card for this weeks challenge at Penny's. The theme this week is 'Use spooled items', it sounds tricky but really it is quite simple. I chose to use Bakers twine for my card but you can things like ribbon or string, as long as it is something that can be found on a spool.

Here is my card;

I have used this super cute Lacy Sunshine image called Ten Gallon Ted for my card, he was so fun to colour. I decided to thread the Bakers twine through my card to act as the lasso, it wasn't as easy as I had hoped but I am happy with how it turned out. I have used Echo Park All About a Boy papers (I had to, it is a boy card after all) and coloured with my Copic's. the dies are a combo of Cuttlebug and Quickcuts dies, I do like these for boy cards. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and I felt it fit in perfectly, I find sentiments tricky to add normally.

I hope you like my card this week and it inspires you to get crafting.

Happy crafting

Inky Impressions Kraft It

Hello again,

Here is number 2 of 4 cards for today. For this weeks challenge at Inky Impressions we are asking you to include Kraft card in your make. Now I love using Kraft card and I thought it went so well with this little critter Sunflower Kitten, isn't she cute.

Here she is;

I love this stamp and she always makes me smile. I have used Copic's to colour her and I have teamed her up with Echo Park papers. I love the die I used but I also really hate it. Unfortunately it doesn't cut quite as well as I would like it to so it takes a while to remove all the little pieces. I do like the results though.

I hope you have a lovely week full of crafty goodness and that you get to join in with us at Inky Impressions for this weeks challenge.

Cheers Nicole
