Penny Black Challenge... week 55

Hi All, the Kittens are sleeping so I got to make a card in peace and quiet..... Shhhhh
I used the little hedgehog in the wellie boot, with doodlebug papers and card with ribbon and flowers from my stash. The design is Penny Black challenge 55

Lilly & Daisy

Ohhh no look who has come to live with me..........
I appologise in advance if my blog goes a bit slow but crafting with two too help is not that easy! I will try to keep up.

Can you make a card with this......

Dont we just love it when someone gives you something and Say's can you make a card with this!
It is sooo hard but I dont know why. Anyway here is what I achieved:

Good old Nesties labels....... then sat stuck with ideas for the background. It just so happened I had one of my new Tapestry sets on the table next to me (Cherry Blossom) and I thought I wonder if that would work and it did! I was relieved to say my friend was very pleased - Phew!

Why do us crafters bother sometimes!

I made this little book for a colleague at work only to be left on the desk in the envelope all day not even shown to anyone...........





Anyway I enjoyed making it shame it was not gratefully received. I used Bazil Bling, Think it was Bo Bunny paper although I am not sure. Sizzix Happy Birthday Die.

The shape was made with the Spellbinders labels die cut in several sizes.

The words were a Hero Art message stamp, with a flower and some bling.

Cuttlebug with Kim!!!!

A lesson with Kim Fee on the cuttlebug, and oh what a lovely day.

Using two embossing folders and a score board to make the embossed lines. My minds eye papers and a Penny black clear set.



This was the new spellbinders Impressabilities (like a stencil) Brayered and what a pretty background it makes, well I think so.


Penny black clear set with lotz of mice, with a mounted frame made with the cuttlebug, nestabilities and a embossing folder. I have tried this several times on my own but could never get it to work. Thanks Kim I can now.

Also another fab idea for using the embossed borders, again something we all have but I never know what to do with...... or should I just speak for myself here.

The old favorites keep coming back.

Sometimes you can't help but going back to your favorites. I do love this Sarah K stamp.
Stamped on white card cut with a nestie, then stamped on doodlebug black and white paper and cut out the clothes etc.
Mounted on black card with white dots punched with a plier punch. Had a fun day at the chicken shack today and made a lovely card with stamping Caz I will post it tommorow.

A Man Card

Oh no... I hate making cards for men they are so hard.
I used this Kadoodle stamp called Pa Iggly coloured with copics mounted on a nestability and the papers are Dovecraft Masculine collection pack. The message was one of the new stamping up ones which comes with a matching sized punch.
