My DT card

I'm making cards at the moment for my grandaughters nursery, they're raising money to buy a new camera.

Isn't this a cute shape, when it's closed it fits in to a C6 or 16 1/2 x 11 1/2 cm envelope.

You can see how to make an  A5 version on Leann blog of Crafters Companion.

Although it does say you need 6 A5 pieces of card, you only use 4 and one to cut a square from.

A tip that might help is not to use thick card as it's quite springy to close, especially if matting and layering, light weight card stock is fine..

I've used digi papers again I'm really loving the papers from Pink Petticoat ( blossom and mocha plain ) and matched it beautifully with a paper from Popcorn Bear CD... floral.

The cute ted stamp is Penny Black 'snug' coloured with copics E30 31 YR21 and the background R000

W1 shadow

While visiting Cupcake Craft challenge I hopped over to Shelly she inspired me with her doodle borders well worth a visit, she has some gorgeous creations.

I embossed the front panels with a Cuttlebug border folder and added pearls Hobby House Crafts the ribbon was from Whichcraft uk it might not be on the site but you can order by phone.

The sentiment was written on the computer. I left the other oval empty for a personal message.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge # Sketch

Good Morning friends,
There's a gorgeous sketch over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge this week, why not give it a go.
I used the Papertake Weekly Challenge of lilac and lemon. Gorgeous spring colours!!

To make my easel card I used a die cut card from a  goody bag from Craftwork Cards.
 My lovely friend Sue gave  it to me at the papercraft show in Harrogate on Saturday, mwah, we had a lovely time and came back with lots of goodies.
I already had some scalloped squares from the same company, which I layered on top.
I used lilac core'dinations and lemon Bazzil bling, and some paper from a stack pad I bought at the show. It doesn't have a name.
The image is from the "Wonderful" clear stamp set by Penny Black.
 I stamped a few times and decoupaged some of the flowers.
 I thought I would try cutting the circle with a Nestability die with the flowers out side. Sorry I can't remember the correct term.
If you want to try it don't colour your image first, I had a few tries. It was difficult to work out how far to cut around the flowers first. I got there in the end and pleased with the result.
The sentiment is from Stamping Up and ribbon is Dovecraft.
Have a great day,
Love Cherie    //*.*\\

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 92 Spring Colours

Hello,

 Over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge your creations have to have a Penny Black image or sentiment and the theme this week is spring colours.

My card also fits into these challenges too:
One Stop Craft Challenge - spots and dots
Crafty Sentiments  -  sketch
Pile it on - to get your creation on at least one other challenge and the theme is pastels.
 This is my second card for this challenge, you can enter more than once!!

I used the lovely sketch over at the new Crafty Sentiments challenge blog, thank you Lisa for the invitation to join in the fun.
 Hop over there and give them your support, they would love to see you.

I thought I would make a thank you easel card using the gorgeous Martha Stewart edge punch.
If you cut a square 3 1/4 inches and punch each side it makes this lovely frame which I matted onto a Nestibilities classic scallop square.
The image is from the Critters clear stamp set by Penny Black.
Papers I used were printed from the spring CD by Wild Rose Studio and Bazzil
The gorgeous sentiment stamp is by Stamping Up. I absolutely adore these stamps!!!!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Sketch

Hello, A lovely sunny day today here in Leeds,

The Penny Black challenge this week is a gorgeous sketch by Carole, and this is my card.

I've used the really cute Penny Black stamp Bees and Bunny for my image. I coloured it with Copics on whisper white cardstock  from Stamping Up. This cardstock has got to be the smoothest card I have ever seen, and was wonderful to colour on. There was hardly any bleed through too, really impressed!!!
Papers are by Papermania Blueberry Hill which I edged with Colour Box chalk ink burnt sienna. 
The ribbon and faux pearls from my stash.
I used nestabilities classic squares plain and scallop and just added doodle dots with a white inkssentials pen.
I recieved my first parcel from Stamping Up this week, thanks so much Victoria  pop over and have a look at March's offer.
The stamps are gorgeous and the paper punches are fabulous. They cut so easy even copy paper,
They'll be appearing on a card near you very soon, can't wait to use them!!!!

Enjoy your day hope the sun is shining for you too.

Love Cherie  //*.*\\
