The Paper Shelter Challenge #580 - Anything But A Square

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is for you to make a project that is any shape EXCEPT a square! Pretty easy right with so many other shapes to choose from!

I decided to go for a circular shaped card, which I don't actually make too often This die was the perfect size and even stands up without rolling to the side too! I used the Adorable Cowgirl digi stamp and paired her up with some cowboy/girl themed sentiment from my stash as well. I didn't think this card needed much more and there wasn't really enough room for any embellishments, so I left it as it is and really love it!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #522 Frame It

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. We have all been on our summer vacations for the last 4 weeks and team A came back last week with a fabulous challenge. But this week, it's team B's turn with the challenge, Frame It. We want to see you use a frame in some way on your card - it can be a die cut frame or the frame can be part of your image such as mine is. 

For my card, I used the gorgeous Purity and went for a red, gold and black combo, which I absolutely love! Such a vibrant, striking combo which I know I will definitely be using again and again! Not one I would normally go for, but wanted to try something different!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #508 World Book Day

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from the Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is celebrating World Book Day so we would love to see your book or reading related projects. You can use a character from a book, make a bookmark, use an image of a person reading. The list is endless! 

I have gone for something a little different, but here's the background first. I read a lot of Urban Fantasy books - think vampires, werewolves, other shapeshifters, fae and of course witches! I have just finished reading Cold Reign by Faith Hunter, which revolves around Jane Yellowrock, a Cherokee shapeshifter, who mostly turns into a mountain lion and works as an Enforcer for the local head vampire. This is a great series if you like stuff like this! 

Anyway my card this week uses Witching Hour, a fabulous witch image to show my love for all things Urban Fantasy along with a couple of sentiments from some of my other witch stamp sets.

Something Else on Saturday Challenge #109 Featuring Spring Marci from La-La Land Crafts

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday Challenge post. I have a huge pile of coloured images that I am slowly trying to make my way through and this cutie has been sat in this pile for an absolute age! Probably from last summer at least! I love to just sit and colour but don't always need or have time to add the images to a card. 

I decided to do a different shape today instead of my usual square cards and pulled out one of my Dutch Doobadoo card templates - love this flag one as it is still quite big and has enough space to add lots of layers and embellishments!

LeAnn's World 101 Inspiration Post Featuring Heart Fairy

Good morning everyone and welcome to my inspiration post for LeAnn's World 101. This month I chose to use the adorable Heart Fairy and for a change made a circle card. I hardly ever make circle cards as they can be difficult to stand up, but I managed to get this one to stand with another of the same circles cut and the top folded before attaching to the back. It works!

I went with one of my favourite combos - hot pink, black and white with a touch of silver grey in there as well! As the shape didn't need many layers, I added lots of dots using my Nuvo Drops. I do get carried away with these, but love them!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration Post

Good morning everyone and welcome to my inspiration post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps this week. Today I am using the adorable Jr Hatter Kathrina. Love these hatter images with all their different hats!

I actually coloured her up before deciding on my patterned papers and the pinky-peach looked so much more pink without any background papers, but as soon as I tired to find a pink that would match, the orange tones came out more and none of my trillions of pink papers matched at all. In the end, I found these peachy-melon papers which worked so much better!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #338 Round It Up

Good morning and welcome to my new DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is called Round It Up so we want to see you using lots of circles on your project this time. I actually struggled with finding a circle large enough for this one and have no dies big enough to make a card sized base. I so need some Grand Nestabilities but they are so hard to come by nowadays, so if you know of any other big sized dies, let me know!

In the end I used a pen pot and drew around it to make my base and then again for the other layers, making them a little smaller each time by drawing another circle freehand inside, keeping the same distance from the original line. I cut them out by hand and think it came out ok in the end!

I used the adorable Hammock Days, one of the newer images in the store, and went for a very CAS (for me anyway) card as I wanted to capture the simplicity and serenity of the moment, reading away in the garden!

Good Morning and welcome to my inspiration post this week for Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I am totally in love with all the Polka Dot Pals at the minute, so you will probably be seeing lots of these digi stamps on my DT projects for Little Miss Muffet Stamps!

Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post - Rose

Good morning and welcome to my inspiration post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This week the DT were challenged to a monochrome colour scheme, so I just had to use my favourite pinks on this one and used the gorgeous and suitably named Rose image for my card, which is available in this set of 4 Girls with Flowers.

In my mission to use up some of my old patterned papers, I used the long time retired Subtles papers from Stampin' Up and slowly I am getting through the pinks that I was saving for a special card. No point in saving something for "special" as I never use it!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Celebrations

Good morning and welcome to my final post for the Polkadoodles Challenge Blog. I have decided to step down from this DT for personal reasons and thought what better way to end my time at Polkadoodles than with my favourite collection, Winnie in Wonderland.

I used my teacup card art template from Dutch Doobadoo and used the papers and ephemera images (trees, cards, watches and sentiment) all from the set as well as the Winnie Wonderland image.

Faery Ink - Birds N Bees Spring Tomte Nisse Gnome

Good morning everyone and welcome to another post from me for Faery Ink. I am sharing another one of the adorable Spring Tomte Nisse Gnomes today - this time it is the turn for the Birds n Bees Gnome. How sweet is this image?

I decided to use some brighter colours this time and to make a shaped card for a change. I do love this flag shape - it adds a lot of space without being too big and bulky.

Faery Ink Mermaid Birthday Besties

Good morning and welcome to another inspiration post from me for Faery Ink. I am using the gorgeous Mermaid Birthday Besties digi stamp to create this fabulous seashell shaped card. You can also find this image in the Mermaid Birthday Party Pack.

After playing around with the layout for a while I finally decided to make a little bit of a pop up on the bottom mermaid so that she would stand up when the card is opened. I also added some seaweed and fish die cuts along with a couple of sentiments. I had lots of fun making this card and love how it came out!
