The Paper Shelter Challenge #628 - Food and Drink

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is slightly different in that we have decided to change our challenges to an Anything Goes challenge with an optional twist. 

For those of you who do use the twist you will get double entries into the running for the grand prize. And if you choose to use a digi stamp, colouring page or paper pack from The Paper Shelter and win, your prize is doubled to be 6 digi products from the Paper Shelter store.

For my card this week, I have used the adorable You're My Cuppy Cake and made a large 8 x 8 inch card for a work colleague's birthday later on this month. I'm sure she will love this one.

Ink 'n; Splatter Inspiration Post Featuring Strawberry Mice

Good morning and welcome to my first DT inspiration post of the month for Ink 'n' Splatter. The DT theme this month is summer and nothing says summer to me more than fresh strawberries, so I just had to use the adorable Strawberry Fields Mice Stamp Set. I also added various different patterned papers to this card. This was a great way to use up some of those scraps of paper I have left over from other projects. 

I used the Postage Collage Die from Waffle Flower, but the mice were too cramped together, so I cut it up so I could separate them a bit more and they worked so much better this way. 

Recipe:

Stamps: Strawberry Field Mice from Ink 'n' Splatter

Papers: Real Red & Early Espresso both from Stampin' Up, Christmas Bright, Gingerbread Wishes, Watermelon Lemonade, Happy Summer, Oh Happy Day & Raspberry Crush Patterned Papers all from Ink 'n' Splatter, Make It Colour Blending Card from Make It Crafty

Something Else on Saturday #248 Featuring Donut Days from Taylored Expressions

Good morning an welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. I needed a donut die cut the other day for a card I was working on and realised I didn't have one! So I went shopping and bought this fabulous stamp and stencil set from Taylored Expressions. I did get the matching die as well, but didn't use it on this card.

A fun, quick card to stamp, but it took longer as I used my copics to colour it in. I might actually use the stamps to colour in the donuts next time!

Scene It Sunday #157 featuring Sugar Rush Plushies & Sugar Rush Scenes from Clearly Besotted

Good morning and welcome to today's Scene It Sunday post, which is a very sweet, cotton candy pink card! I haven't done a totally pink card in absolutely ages and when I decided to colour up these images, I just knew pink was the way to go! It does have a touch of red and brown in it, but it's mostly pink!

I watched Wreck It Ralph and the Sugar Rush car racing game within that film gave me the idea for this card. It's full of lots of pink, sugary treat, so I attempted to colour a candyfloss floor.

Ink 'n' Splatter New Release Inspiration Post featuring Cupcake Kitties

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the newly released clear stamps from Ink 'n' Splatter. Dina has released such an adorable collection of animals sharing their celebrations and all involving some kind of yummy sweet treats!

For today's inspiration post, I have used the cute Cupcake Kitties along with the Sweet Celebrations Patterned Papers. I just love the colours in these patterned papers as well. 

I always colour at least one cat on a card in the colour of my own who is a Blue British Shorthair so kind of a purpley grey colour. 

And a couple of close ups of the cats too... Aren't they just the sweetest?!

Something Else on Saturday #190 Featuring Sweet Treats from Di's Digi Stamps

Good morning and welcome to my Something Else on Saturday post for this week. I am trying to use up some of the digi stamps that I printed ages ago for one of my new year's crafting goals. I don't print as I need them, I just print a big batch in one go as it saves me having to dig the printer out from under the bed every time I want to print something! So this week, I coloured up this cute little cat with his macarons (One of my fave treats!) and made a big 8 x 8 inch card for my work stash of birthday cards! 

While hunting for something else, I found a tub of old paper flowers and thought I would use these for a change! It's amazing how quickly us crafters forget things we used to love using once we have something new to use instead! I can't remember the last time I used paper flowers like these! Look pretty though without adding too much bulk to the card as well!
