ABC Challenges - N is for Noel

Hi I'm back with a new ABC Challenge and this one is N is for Noel, which means we want to see some Christmas themed cards. This challenge is sponsored by Magnolia-licious.

Today I decided to make a double Z fold card featuring Tilda with a Trumpet in some lovely teal and pink colours to suit some pretty Christmas paper I had in my stash.




I stamped my image on Xpress-It cardstock using Momento black and coloured in the image with my copics. The colours I used are: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, R22, R01, BG0000, BG76, BG72, BG10, BG11, C5, C3, C1, Y21, Y28,


Until next time, happy crafting...

Polkadoodles challenge - Add Texture

Hi everyone and welcome to another brand new Polkadoodles Challenge. All our challenges are


Anything Goes

while for an added challenge the DT's are adding texture to our creations.


I have had another really busy week with work this week and I need to take a thank you gift to a friend who helped me out. I decided a pretty gift box with their favourite chocolates would be a fun gift. I also used a star shape, because they were a shining star in my week.


Here it is:


I started with some plain pale pink card and cut out the stars. Then I embossed one star using an starburst embossing folder. By cutting some strips and scoring and folding them before gluing them around the edge of the stars, I made a top and bottom for the box.


I wrapped some lace around the edge and added a cute topper from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Collection, along with some paper flowers and a button from the Winston Deluxe collection.

Here you can see the inside:



And one more look:



Happy stamping until next time...

Polkadoodles challenge - Anything Goes

Hi everyone and welcome to another brand new Polkadoodles Challenge. Our theme for this challenge is 

Anything Goes


For my DT inspiration this week, I decided make a special chocolate sliding gift box. 

Here it is:

All the papers in my project came from the Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle
To make the flowers, I stamped the flowers, leaves and a sentiment from Daisydays SME in dark brown ink onto some of the patterned paper and then fussy cut them out. I then added a clear crystal button as the centre of each flower.
I used oval punches to make the gift tag, and then added a topper from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Collection.

When you pull up the bow, your special sweet treat slides out.



Happy stamping until next time...
