Well hello and welcome to today’s post. It’s time for another challenge over at Get Creative Challenges where its Anything Goes with an optional twist to choose an line on the Bingo Board!

Our sponsors for this challenge is Fred, She Said Designs.

I’ve been a bit cheeky with my project and have opted for a basket rather than a shaped card – creative license? I made a little basket that will hold a few small Easter eggs as gifts for my friends. I faux stitched the edges of the basket panels, embossed the basket before gluing it together. I then fussy cut some flower images from Fred, She Said Designs and added a couple of buttons to the centre of the flowers and my basket was done.

Hello there, it’s time for another Always Fun Challenge where we challenge you to be inspired by a cartoon this week!

TBH, I struggled with this theme and then I thought who better epitomises cartoons than Mickey Mouse! Now I don’t have an Mickey stamps,so I decided to use my punches and paper piecing to make a Mickey balloon and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp ‘Believe in You’.

Today I had a bit of a play with a new stamp and die set from Stampin up called ‘Dressed to Impress’.

I’ve decided to enter my card and bag into the following challenges:

• Alphabet Challenge W – Anything your wish
• AAA Birthday #10 Cute

• 

• 

I die cut the bag from SU Baked Brown Sugar card stock and used some Bird Ballad DSP for the paneling and card front. I used some gold shiny paper for accent pieces. I coloured the perfume bottle and lightly edged the sentiment with my Petal Pink Stampin Blends.

This set is so adorable and I’ve seen so many ways to use the bag dies that I think I’ll be playing a whole lot more with this set.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I decided to go with the sketch this time and used some fab DSP from Stampin Up ‘Tropical Oasis’ and the palm trees and sentiment form ‘Timeless Tropical’. I created a sponged rectangle and popped it and the trees up with dimensionals.

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and Dawn is our host with a masculine challenge this week!

I used a new Stamping Up set called ‘Mountain Air’ for my card this week. I layered the mountains with Seaside Spray and Blueberry Bushel inks on some watercolour paper. I spritzed it with water to get the inks and stamps blending. I used silver embossing powder for the moon. I didn’t add a sentiment as I thought it would take away from the scene I’d created.

Come join in the fun and make a masculine card.

Well, this month we have another challenge over at Sweet Stampin’ Christmas challenge blog where we’d like you to feature a sentiment.

I used a sentiment from Winnie & Walker ‘In a word merry’ which I stamped multiple times and heat embossed in clear embossing powder and then ink smooshed a few different greens inks. I added a tiny Christmas word and mounted it all on a white card base and my card was done.
