Party Time

 For this DT card at creative knockouts I have picked this image party time from leannsworld . The challenge was for Sparkle & Shine

I have made an easel card I printed off the image and have coloured the balloons, bunting, hats and the streamers  with glitter gel pens...not that it can been seen in the photo. I adhered it to brown glitter matstack cardstock it has greenish glitter through it adhered clear coloured stick on gems  The backing paper on the rest of the white base card has balloons on it. The party time sentiment is a stamp the celebrate has been done on the scan n cut 

Chibi

 This week at creative knockouts is this delightful chap called freddie from stampers delights

The challenge was to use 2 or more pattern papers My base card is a light grey I used a plain darker grey that I adhered to black card, I used 3 different grey patterned papers adhered to black card and adhered to  the grey card, coloured freddie with copics and adhered him to black card, adhered to the card with foam dots. Once again I have not put a sentiment on the card or inside will do that when I know who I give it to, that way there is no restriction as  to who I can give it to

Toadstool House

 This  weeks DT card for creative knockouts is this image from Twinkle Lane Designs called toadstool homes   

The base card is cream, the dotty papers are from my stash the dots on the green paper is the same colour of the base card, the other piece of paper I adhered on a slight angle cut out a frame for the image, coloured the image with copics and cut an extra front house to put over the original printed off the wee fairy and coloured her with copics and placed her on top of the toadstool. I cut out the fence and the  leaves and flowers on the cuttlebug

At this stage I have not done the inside will leave that until such time as I give it away

people

 This DT card for creative knockouts this week is for a anything goes card as the sponsor doesn't provide a image which is ok for me as I get to do my own thing.

I like to use lace, pearls, flowers and such on cards So for this card I started with a yellow / cream base card, and another for adding bits to. The lace is from my stash, (I have a container full of lace and I love the bits I have and sometimes I don't really want to put it on a card and then I think, why not, it's there to be used) I then put ribbon above it and added the pearls The flowers are also from my stash, the larger one I put a pearl in the middle added the other little flowers cut some leaves from the same colour, then made a little angel from a pin and some wings and a pearl did the sentiment on the computer distress inked the edges and adhered to the card

This photo doesn't show the colour of the card but I think it looks nice and it all blends in together

Celebrations

 My first DT card for 2022 with creative knockouts I was allowed to pick an image from patties creations called newborn love I kept going back to this image I think it is just lovely

I printed out the image onto the card then made a mask because I decided I was going to stencilled the background, stamped the sentiments I added lace to the underside then  ribbon on top and tied a bow, then adhered it to a pink base card. I wanted the baby to be the focal point, so I printed an extra image coloured it with copics adhered it to the card with foam squares. Haven't quite decided what to put on the inside the card but there will be "she will be in safe hands"

I have been knitting all my left over bits of wool, into Beanies for premmie babies that I am going to give to my local hospital (if I am allowed to do that with covid) so I am also going to make a few cards with this image to go with them

Hairdresser Gnome

I have fallen in love with Gnomes and they are so easy to make so I decided to make my Sister in law a hairdresser one

I used a cone for the Gnome  bought a pair of red socks at the Dollar shop and used it for the bottom cut out a piece of blue material and made a pocket and I made a name badge, the name of her salon, and glued it to the apron, her hair was made from fur and the coloured bit were cheap hair extensions from the Dollar store  The hat, made with felt and sewed together with a blanket stitch, added a bell, the flowers from felt were cut with the cuttle bug the little hairdressing tools were from a packet of craft buttons. The nose I had problems with I can not find a bead without a hole or a plain one so I covered what I had with a bit of white sock worked out ok I have another three on the go, but christmas has got in the way, My SIL loved it and has put it on display in the salon

There are a lot of great tutorials out there for the gnomes  as I said they are easy to do and they dont take long to make  and if you are lucky enough you can also get a free pattern I think I spent more time  decorating her

 

tis the season

Haven't had much time for card making lately too many other things to do 

My DT card for creative knockouts is from The Artsy stamper and I picked this image called seaside holiday set the image made me think of the lake where we go each christmas

The base card is red, I found this baking paper in my ever growing stash and it is meant to look like water drops.The image I printed out and coloured it with copics the boat I coloured orange as that is the colour of our little row boat that my husband patiently rows around the lake, (Motors are not allowed on the lake and it is so peaceful you can hear the fish jumping) I cut an extra image, so I would have the presents cut them out and  put them on top so they were slightly raised I distressed the edges or the card then adhered to red card, same as the base. I did the sentiment on the cut n scan and adhered it sideways just to be different
