Pony Love by Hetty Clare

 

Sometimes a chain of events are serendipitous and that is certainly what happened when I got to choose a Hetty Clare digi stamp for this months http://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com/?m=1 design team project!

As soon as I saw this image I knew it was the one I needed to create my card with this month. I am exceedingly lucky to have my own pony and things have been going so well with her lately that this picture could well be us!!!

For my card however I have based the pony on my friend and her horse, as she has a birthday coming up and I knew she would love a personalised card!!

I used the black widow range of pencils to colour the image:

B/w - Black Widow 

Co - Cobra

SK - Skin

MN - Monarch 

SC - Scorpion

-------------------------------

MN - Rusty

B/w - Foxy Brown

Co - Rattlesnake 

Co - Flate Black

Sk - Snow

Co - Charcoal

Sk - Midnight 

Sk - Grey thorn

Mn - Blue moon

Sc - Galaxy blue

B/w - Starry night

Mn - Fawn

Mn - Ice cream 

Mn - Opal

Sc - Turquoise 

Sc - Blood red

I also used some Tim holtz distress inks in the colours Tumbled glass, mowed lawn and rustic wilderness.

To finish I used a topper from my stash.

Sparkle and shine/Paperfundays Challenge

 

This months twist at Paper Fundays Challenge was Sparkle and shine, which to me absolutely screams Christmas!

To join in with the fun use this link

http://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com/?m=1

To start with I have created a fun fold card, a tutorial for this will be on my YouTube channel very soon!

I have used Christmas tales by Craftlabel as my DSP and I used mirror card from hobby craft as a matt layer from some shine.

For added Sparkle I have used the glittered reindeer, and the presents and stocking along the bottom contain holographic card. The sentiment finishes off the shine with its foiled detail.

Next up I decided to create some items for a xmas in July swap ( yes I am that organised lol)

I embossed some gold and silver card stock, die cut some poinsettias and pieced them together from mirror card as well as using holographic cardstock to cut some snowflakes. I also made some festive bows from glittered card stock.

Lastly I made a tag by embossing some cardstock I had painted with Sparkle Inks, I then used Nuvo Embellishment mousse on the debossed side to highlight some of the Holly leaves, the snowman was painted in Sparkle Inks and had fake snow glued to him before being adhered to the bottom. I finished off with red trim and some stencilled snowflakes, again opting for embellishment mousse.

This was a super fun twist challenge and I  can't wait to see what is in store for you all next month

Dome display card

The great thing about being on a design team, is that it give you a brilliant excuse to try out card styles you have been meaning to do for a while and not got round to!

This month for the Paper Fundays Challenge (link below) we were kindly provided with images by Artsy Stamper (also linked below)

I decided to make a dome display card to showcase the image and followed a tutorial by Sam Calcott of mixed up crafts to do so.

The supplies I used were:

Tonic studios cardstock.

Daisy Mae designs torn edge nesting ovals

Wonderful Sweetness from The Works

Glossy Accents 

Acetate and plain cardstock from Hobbycraft 

An embossing folder from Papercraft Society box no 18 by Card Making Magic

Image and sentiment from Artsy Stamper

I am really pleased with how this card came out, I hope you will check out the Artsy Stamper who has many beautiful designs and why not come and join in at Paper Fundays Challenge.

 This is my Dt Project for this months challenge from Paper Fundays Challenge blog http://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com/?m=1

This month I have used an image from Paper Nest dolls

 https://paper-nest-dolls.myshopify.com/

I coloured the image using my Black Widow pencil collection and added some Easter egg ribbon to the corners before making a securing a bow.

To finish I layered the image onto some purple mirror board from my stash.

Hope everyone had a great Easter 🐣 

Peek-a-boo card

5 × 10 5/8" scored at 7"

5 × 11" scored at 5 1/2"

5 × 7 1/4" scored at 1/4"

With a twist option of Irish luck (use something green)

I was lucky enough to get to use the stunning Peter Rabbit pack from Vectoria Designs and I made this Peter Rabbit box card.

I used Distress inks to make the reciept pads look dirty from the garden and then I fussy cut the other elements and attached them to struts in the box. I added a few elements from my stash and made the birthday sign using brown card stock and a wood grain stamp.

For the twist card I made the clean and simple card
