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 #116 featuring Detective Dolls from Paper Nest Dolls

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday. For today's card, I thought I would do a different type of Hallowe'en card and used the Detective Dolls from Paper Nest Dolls aka The Scooby Gang! I love Scooby Doo and will happily sit and watch the TV show, the cartoon movies and the real life movies over and over!

I went for another Scenescape card, but yet again I cannot judge the size when printing these dolls out and they ended up being a bit too big! I think I am going to have to measure the card first before printing next time as it looks like it will work on my laptop screen when adding them to Word to print out! But it still looks cute! I had to mount them all onto black card as my Copics bled too much to the back and I hate seeing that! 

I tried to go for a creepy vibe with the spooky trees and fence. The pumpkins were totally inspired by the Happy Halloween Scooby Doo movie that I was on Now TV a couple of weeks ago with "mutant" pumpkins chasing the gang around! I  loved it! 

And another view from the top so you can see the Mystery Machine a bit more!

Something Else on Saturday #146 Featuring Easter Shake by Di's Digi Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. I am now starting to make a few Easter/Spring themed card to hand out at work with my little Easter egg gifts when we break up for our Easter holidays at the end of March.

Scene It Sunday #79 Featuring Koala Hugs from Mama Elephant

Good morning! Welcome to this week's scene It Sunday post! I bought this stamp set from Mama Elephant ages ago, but never got round to using it as I really didn't know how I was going to put it all together. Sometimes I get a complete mind block and have no idea what to do, so I leave the images I have coloured and come back to them later when the mojo has returned! 

I did a bit of a Google search for ideas and the Mama Elephant design team had used a leafy frame die which I really liked, but it's one I don't have, so I made my own using a leaf border die that I do have instead! I really like how it came out, but my Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink really needs reinking so I had to add lots of ink to get it to blend nicely! It wasn't quite the pale blue I wanted though!

Scene It Sunday #68 Featuring Miss Anya Hello Winter from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. Today's card features yet another set that I bought last winter but never used! I dread to think how many of those I actually have! (While making this card I found 2 Hallowe'en sets that I forgot I even had and haven't yet used, so no doubt there's tins of Christmas ones too!)

Anyway, I gave Miss Anya a fun inked background using my Distress Oxide inks and a stencil, before stamping in some snowflakes from the set (which I really should have embossed as you can hardly see them!) and added sone dots of paint for snowflakes too.

This card is for

The Paper Shelter Challenge #480 Colour It

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. We have all had a lovely summer break (and hope you have had one too!). I have spent many an hour crafting this summer as well as doing lots of reading and gaming! 

We did manage to get away for a few days to the Lake District, which was really relaxing and even though the weather was supposed to rainfall the whole time, it kept away and became really warm at one point. We went on a boat trip round Lake Windermere which was on my bucket list of things to do, visited the Beatrix Potter World of Attraction, did a bit of shopping and went to Aria Force waterfall. The scenery round there was just beautiful, so if you have never been and get the chance do go up there! 

Anyway... our challenge is back this week with the theme of Colour It, so we want to see you projects that you have coloured in using any medium you wish. As always I have used my Copics to colour in this fabulous image, Sweet! I added in the tiles for the wall by just drawing faint pencil lines before colouring them in.

Scene It Sunday #51 Featuring Cute As ABC from Clearly Besotted

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. I thought I would use my new Scenescape dies from Mama Elephant for this bright, fun card. I just love the shape and dimensions you get with it. As it is coming up to the end of the school year, I need 6 thank you cards for my team and probably a couple more for other people who have been really supportive this year too, so my posts will probably be mostly thank you cards for the next couple of weeks!  

I did watch a couple of You Tube videos from the Mama Elephant DT to make sure I got the order right to put the pieces together and it was actually really easy to do. The best hint though was the colouring of the rainbow - I used my Distress Oxide Inks for it, inking up the white card which saved having to cut out the correct piece of the rainbow or even the whole thing several times in different coloured cardstock! Was a lot less hassle I thought and the colours are a lot softer than I would have had if I had used card too, which I preferred. 

To do the inked clouds, I used the cloud dies from the rainbow add on set on another piece of card and used them as a stencil so they were all the same proportion as my actual stencils would have looked odd I thought.
