Spring has Sprung

We have a brand new challenge at Papercreator again today and in the words of the late great Spike Milligan:

Spring is sprung.
The grass is riz.
I wonder where the birdies is?
The bird is on the wing.
Now isn’t that absurd?
I always thought the wing was on the bird!

Just in case you missed the theme it's Spring! And may I take this opportunity to apologise for my awful pun but I just couldn't resist it :c)

I've used:
For Ewe topper set
Tim Holtz Doily edger die (which you can't really see)
Flower punches by  EK Success in 2 sizes
Sentiment is computer generated with Cool Dots font

I managed to post again within 10 days so we'll see how long the next one takes me lol!
Have Fun

Purple Owl Purple Owl...............

I've used another topper from the Papercreator Mega Bundle kit today - this cute purple owl. There are loads in the kit and each one comes with an A4 sheet of toppers plus a matching backing paper. I've just added a sentiment and some gems and the jobs a good un!

Think Pink - Papercreator challenge

I can't believe it's time for another challenge at Papercreator already and this time our theme is Think Pink!

For my card I've used:
Something Old Something New Flipper Pyramage Kit (just the main layer)
Paper: Nitwits - Warm Fuzzies
Heart die cut & Ticket Sentiments : Whimsy Stamps
Gems: £1 shop
Card Base - Silhouette Cameo

Lots of Sparkle with Papercreator

Can't believe it's already a month round and time for another challenge at Papercreator! The theme this time is Sparkle! Unfortunately as me and glitter just don't get on although I do keep trying I've resorted to glitter card and gems for my sparkle and you can never go wrong with a bear.

I've made my card with the Make A Wish shaped Easel card I love easel cards they're that bit more special and with this one you can just print and cut it no dodgy measuring.

Teddy Bea Communion card

Paper: Memory Box

Embossed Hearts: Cuttlebug border folder

Sentiment: Computer Generated

I'd never made a Communion card before so was excited to receive a request for a personalised one.

The lady who commissioned it loved it - fortunately

Bear and Owls - for a couple of cuties

This is the Just Because 6x6 card kit although I have added a bit of embossed kraft card, matted the layers onto mirror cards and cut a out a couple of flowers rather than decoupaging him. The sentiment is a Wellington bear one

If you don't want a full card kit there are also just toppers like these Owl ones that also includes a backing paper although mine is a First Edition Daydream one cut in an arched window using my Silhouette. The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley one.

As I had a couple of images spare I used them to put on the front of a couple of notepads that I keep handy.

Catch up May birthday cards

 Marvin the Monkey from Pollycraft

 Not sure about this one - Designed to Delight maybe? Ticket by Whimsy

 Lili of the Valley and Cuddly Buddly Sentiment

Pollycraft and Blonde Moments sentiment

I've been a rubbish blogger so far this month and I have a lot of birthdays so lots of cards have left Padster towers - anyhoo here they all are.

And I have a new stamp for the back of my cards from Nicky at Stamping All Day there's a huge choice of verses and they're really reasonable - I ordered this one and had it in a couple of days.

Old Bear Friends

I'm a tad late with my Papercreator post today - I blame the rubbish weather and the short week!

Today I've used the Friends DL card kit just printing the layers and the papers out. I used one layer on the card above and the other one to make a second card adding my own wording with some letter stamps and a bit of ribbon

It must Bea Friday

A really quick card today the image is a pre-coloured one from Teddy Bo (TEDDYBEA_003) and the flower layer was cut from First Edition's paper with my Silhouette which I also used to cut the blue layer and the card blank.

Baby in a basket

I've been trying to use up digis that I've printed but just stuck in a pile although the sentiment stamp is a new one from Bo Bunny I bought mine from Cutting Edge crafts as they always have free P&P and have great prices too. The baby in a basket is by Cuddly Buddly

Bubby Bea

Card Base: Birds Cards

Paper: Dovecraft Tea House

Flowers: EK Success Retro Flower Punch

Sentiment: Crafter's Companion

Lickle Bear

Sometimes you just don't end up with the card you started off with. This was originally supposed to be a Teddy Bea card but I was having one of those days when nothing was coming out the printer the right size.

I printed this cute little Meljen's bear almost a year ago and finally coloured him during the week when I was throwing a hissy fit as the lawnmower wouldn't start (turns out you have to put petrol in the thing!).

The card base with the branch is from birdscards.com although I made my own flowers with my EK success punch and added a Whimsy sentiment.

I would like to enter this into Ready Teddy Go, Opus Gluei, Di's Digi Designs

Ikkle Church

This was always one of those stamps I meant to buy so I ordered it to put myself out of my misery it's by Dimension Stamps and the wonderful hearts background card is a free cutting file from Birds Cards with an insert from First Edition and a sentiment from Blonde Moments this was a doddle

Sentiment Stamp: Lili of the Valley

Box: Silhouette

It's Friday again and we're now near to the end of the first week of the school holidays here in the UK - I'm not quite bankrupt yet but ask me again next week.

We have new images as well as a new challenge and a SALE so nip over to the challenge blog to check it out. I've used a really really old image today but with 3 little piggies you get 3 tags you can separate and then enlarge one to make a matching card.

Happy Easter Sunday

I thought sheep were quite appropriate for today as it's Easter Sunday - I suppose chocolate sheep might be even better! One simple card using a now retired digi from Sassy Cheryl and Back to Basics paper.

Happy Fairytale Good Friday to You

I've made a spring card using these cute sheep today - the top sheep moves round and jumps over her friends - I just love their cute expressions. The image is available in the Whimsy stamps Store along with loads and loads of others. Why not use one to join in the current stitching challenge over at the Whimsy inspires blog

Fairytale Friday Again!

Paper: Wild Rose Studio

Sentiment: Craftwork Cards

It's been half term here this week so at least I kind of got a bit of a lay in once he who must be ignored had gone off to work - although the first part of the week without the car was a bit of a strain but cheaper than paying for the hire car while we were waiting for his real car to be ready.

I've used another coloured image today as sometimes I just can't be bothered to match and shade and it's so quick and easy **grins** And remember our anything goes challenge is still running
