Tag

The Tags and ATCs June Challenge ends in a few days, so I've made a tag to join in before the challenge closes.

The tag was made with a Stampin' Up punch and a corner rounder.  The Tags and ATCs theme is 'Drinks', so I decided to us my Stampin' Up 'Sip, Sip, Hooray!' set of stamps. The sentiment, cocktail glass and olives were stamps from this set.  I coloured the glass, liquid and olives with Promarkers.  I added a little grey shading to ground the glass.  I doodled a pattern around the edge with a fineliner pen and added three tiny pink pearls.  I used pink organza ribbon, both ends are the same length, but I didn't notice when I took the photo that one end had bent right over.  The white card came from my snippets drawer, to I'll be sharing my tag over in the Playground.

Good Luck

No time for crafting this week.  I spent Sunday morning at the Minor Injuries Unit and came home with a week's supply of antibiotics and plenty of pain killers.  I've been sleeping a lot and my crafting mojo has flown out of the window. I'm so behind with my blog visiting too, but hope to get back on track soon.

I'm sharing a card I made a month or two ago and didn't get round to adding to my blog.  It's a Good Luck card for a friend who recently became Chairman of a club I belong to, to wish her good luck for the coming year.

The card fold was made with Made To Surprise 'Side Panel Showstopper' dies. The patterned paper is from The Works.  I embossed the plain green card, I'm not sure of the brand of the folder but I think it's probably a Creative Expressions one.  The four leaf clover was stitched with crochet cotton on a postage stamp shaped square.

The card folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges:

Creative Creases Challenge #104 ~ Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Craftlandia Challenge #23 ~ Poppies

The Craftlandia Challenge #23 begins today and the theme this time is 'Poppies', or you can go with the Anything Goes option.  Our generous sponsor this month is 'Conjurer of Dreams'.

Our sponsor kindly gave the DT images to use and I chose this beautiful poppy scene.  I haven't made a Tower Card for a while, but I thought it was a perfect fold to show off this lovely image.  I embossed a piece of red card with an Embossalicious 'Spring Meadow Flowers' embossing folder and cut into two strips for the side panels.

The card folds flat for posting.

The Craftlandia Challenge runs until the 30th June, so hop over to the challenge blog to see all the beautiful creations the DT have made for inspiration.

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Christine has chosen the theme of 'Seaside'.  As always there is also the option of Anything Goes.

 

I used a Marianne Design cross stitch die and cut it into a circle using a Memory Box 'Stitched Circles Layers' die.  I used a free Marianne Designs cross stitch pattern HERE and used crochet cotton for the stitching.  The patterned paper is from a Crafter's Companion 'Nautical Collection' paper pad.  I attached the stitched image with foam pads to add some dimension.  The sentiment was punched with a Stampin' Up punch and layered on a rectangular mat.

There are two prizes each of two Sentimentally Yours stamps from  Grafton Crafts , a well stocked bricks and mortar and online shop offering free p&p on all orders over £15.
