Summer Solstice card.

This latest creation is for a friend whos birthday is on the Summer solstice. What an awesome day to have a birthday B.B.Q's and friends drinking springs to mind. I followed the sketch over on Sugar-bowl-blog thats been created by Lilian. I have turned it so the image fitted better.My DH had the idea for the card and I carried it out. Steve is a farmer and has a red tractor and wheres blue overalls so the image is so it looks like him. DH wanted to include the fact that it is on the Solstice and thats where the sun and moon come into it.

Sugar Nellie Sun

Papillio Moon

Papers K&co Hopscotch.

Sugar Nellie Duda Daze Blog hop!!!

What can I say, it is finally here. YAY, hopefully you have arrived from Created-by-annelies, if not why not start the blog hop from the start and visit Sugar-nellie-blog.

Welcome to my part of the blog hop and hope you enjoy your visit. The release of the Duda Daze rubber stamps exclusive to Sugar Nellie stamps available from Funky-kits. The artist of these new stamps is the very talented Diane Daze she has a unique style that is whimsical and brilliant.

The stamp that I received is called BELIEVE, it is the cutest stamp and was ideal for me. It has been a joy to work with. It is very versatile and you get 2 stamps for the price of 1. The cat can be used with the main stamp or used separately in its own right.

So to start I have made a square card, a favourite I think for all card makers. I masked of the image and stamped a script background with versamark and used chalk to highlight the script. All my images are coloured with copic pens.

I love stamps and just how much you can do with them. I have used the fairy to decorate a gift bag that I made. I used a rollagraph to decorate some Bazzill card and then cut out the fairy and placed a label behind her. I have used a fiskar punch to decorate the edge.

Another card but this time it is the an A6 card that opens by undoing the bow. I love this style as it is easy but very striking. I masked the spots out on her top and her leggings. I placed the heart from the cat on her t-shirt.

The cat is on its own for this project.

It is a card box. I got the idea from Maya. She has been making these boxes for awhile and I thought this would be great time to try one out.

The draw opens so that you can fit a gift or a stash of sweets in it. The image is 3d glazed and then I have flicked mica powders over it to add some detail.

For my final creation I have made a note book. Well I cheated a little, as Tesco had the note book for £1. I removed the covers and made my own from cardboard. Ideal for anyone that is studying for their future. I came up with the script to go with the stamp. The little silver charm pebble says believe on it.I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have made for the blog hop and have found some inspiration. For your next sugar fix please visit

Chasing butterfly and dreams

Finally managed to get some time to be creative. Its busy, busy which always stops the creative flow. I am busy all weekend so need to get some creations made to save my sanity. Its my mothers birthday very soon and I have created this specially for her as she loves all things butterfly and this is all butterfly.

Over on just-magnolia they would like to see a card that is not square shaped. I choose to make a butterfly shaped card to fit with my theme.
The paper on the front is basic grey. Tilda and butterlies are from the spring set. I made the sentiment on my computer and cut it out in the shape of a butterfly. The paper on the inside I created using my computer so that it matched. I glued some gems to add some bling.

Stamps: magnolia

Papers: Basic grey

Stay safe. A curious card

Its The case of the curious card. Over on The greeting farm blog they have a card for you to case. The card is by Anna Maria and it is such a cutie. This is my card. As soon as I saw this Hero Ian I knew what kind of card I wanted to make. When loved ones are posted into war zones, there aren't many suitable cards and this is what I wanted to create.I wanted to make a card that lets them know that we are proud of them and what they are doing. A card that would make them smile and I think this one says it all.
I have used some Basic grey papers. I printed RAF Insignia from the Internet and 3d glazed it to keep the colour. The camo paper in the background I have coloured by hand as I couldn't buy any. I them added some ribbons in the colours of the RAF so that it all ties together.

Card recipe

Stamp: Hero Ian

Papers: Basic grey

Insignia printed and 3d glazed

Image coloured with Copic pens.

I hope you like the card and hope that everyones loved ones make it back safe x

Sugar bowl challenge 10

I am going to start with an apology, it can only get better from there.

I haven't been crafting much lately as real life has got so hectic and when ever I sit down I get a total block and feel so tired.

So I have managed to string some time together and had a play with the new Sugar Nellie stamps which are just stunning.

Over on Sugar-bowl-challenge the very talented Marlene has made a sketch for you to follow. Grab a coffee or tea and pop by Marlene's site by clicking her name and be prepared to sit for a long time as her work is stunning.
All the papers are by Basic gray cupcake apart from the white with blue flourish that I have made used the rollagraph from imagination-crafts to create this paper and the mica powders that they sell.

Recipe

Stamp: Sugar nellie

Papers: Basic grey

Rollagraph: Flourish

Flowers: Prima

Coloured with copic pens.

Heather's room

Well as you can guess its another door hanger. This one is for Heather and goes with her room. I enjoyed making the one for Kayleigh so much I thought it only fair to make one for Heather also. Gayle at Sugar-bowl-extra has come up with this for the monthly challenge.

The paper I used was left over from a christmas stash of papers. Another Martha Stewart punch for the detail at the bottom, with ribbon and slider. Heather did have the choice to have it different but she wanted the same as K but the same colour as her room.

For this door hanger I have used the inkadinks inks from Imagination-crafts to colour it in, they are exclusive to them as far as I know. I have to admit that I have used a lamp black for the hair from my water colour blocks.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you like what you see. If you have time please leave me a comment and then I can visit your blog.

Kayleigh's room

I thought I would join the ladies over at the Sugar-bowl-extra monthly project. The project this month is to create a door hanger. I have used the gorguss girls to create a reversible door hanger,

I used some chipboard and covered it with paper ( I can't remember whose papers they are). I used the circle scribe to cut the circle in the board. The border is created using a Martha stewart punch. I have added ribbin and a ribbon slider to add some detail.

Both images are from Sugar Nellie from the Gorjuss girls range.

I have coloured the images with my copic pens.

The letters are cut with my zipemate and I have glittered them.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you leave a comment so that I can visit your blog.

Hope you have a great weekend Jakki x
