Daisy Doodles #76 Something Girly



Welcome to a new challenge over at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges

Something Girly

We want to see a girly project using the colours Pink & Purple


For my card I have used one of the images from Amy Playtime. You get this cute little baby with or without a dummy, each in 3 formats for only $2. It is fabulous value for money and a great image for baby girl cards.

Head over to the Daisy Doodles Store to check it out and all the other great digi’s that are available !
                                                                                               
*********************************************
I coloured my image in using Promarkers & Flexmarkers, adding just a touch of clear glitter pen to the 2nd layer of blocks, dummy flower and safety pin. The image is mounted onto a scrap of card, I think it is Bazzil Bling. The card front is covered with a sparkly plaid from a DCWV stack. The spotty card is a recycled Dovecraft packaging, so glad I kept that in my scraps box J

I keep all my baby items together and found this chipboard tag, I think it may have been from a Lets Make Cards package. I mounted it onto a scrap of purple card and added some pink ribbon recycled from a new top.  The ribbon I can’t remember where I got that from, I had 4 different baby themed ones on a ribbon bobbin and finally I added some Papermania buttons.

*********************************************
I hope you will pop over to the blog to see the lovely creations on there from my team mates and we look forward to seeing your entries in for our Challenge.

I'll see you again next time with another lovely Daisy Doodles design.

For my project this week I have made another 3D item. I had so much fun last week with my flower vase I thought I would make something other than a card with this lovely image, In The Frame Flourish Heart by Hope Jacare Doodles.

I printed the image onto red cardstock. I wasn’t too sure how it would come out but it is a very crisp image and all I needed to do colouring wise was use some glitter gel pens to colour the leaves and hearts.

I frehand cut the heart out on the outside edge and then used this as a template to cut a back section in red card and a chipboard centre to stiffen and stabilise my frame. The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Design, printed onto white card and coloured with the red glitter gel pen.

I assembled the frame by mounting the front section on 3d foam squares, adding this to the sentiment and layering the chipboard and back section in place. I added a small loop of ribbin onto the top and did a final trim so all layers matched up. I then distressed the edges with a small black ink pad and added the ribbon rose as a decoration at the top.

As the UK is actually having some proper wintery weather with deep snow I hope everyone stays warm and safe and what a perfect excuse to do some crafting J

Tweet Birthday Gift


giveaway on her new Facebook Page to test the new store. I had been unable to keep up with the Free Stamp of the Month Challenge so this gave me the perfect opportunity to buy back in with this gorgeous image Tweet Birthday Gift.

She has also started some new card sketches at I {Heart} Card Sketches so of course I had to do use both the image and sketch together didn’t I?

I coloured my image using Promarkers and Flexmarkers but hadn’t planned on the papers I was going to use with it. When I went to my crafty room (which is so messy…. I have such a tiny area on my desk to work with it really needs a good tidy up!) I spied a pack of papers that The Crooked Stamper herself Leslie Hanna sent to me on a blog giveaway. There was this lovely yellow and a flowery blue, both perfect for this card.

A bit of ink distressing, punching, diecutting and recycling in the form of a blue grosgrain ribbon from one of those exhibition passes, and some Kraft cardstock from the inside of a tube of Christmas wrapping paper and this pretty card is done. It sort of made itself as all the elements came together and I made quite a CAS card compared to my normal style.

In other news I was very fortunate today to win a digi of my choice on Faith’s Facebook group for sharing my inspiration from a pair of ladies knickers. Just goes to prove that inspiration can come from the most strangest of places.

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size – 6” square
Image – Tweet Birthday Gift by From The Heart
Paper – Possibly Stampin’ Up
Sentiment – Forever Friends Peel off stickers
Embellishments – Prima Flower, ribbon from exhibition pass, gem from Dovecraft
Tools – Letraset Promarkers & Flexmarkers, Small ink pad, Nestabilities die, Fiskars punch
Techniques – Distressing with inkpad, Diecutting, Punching

Jane's Digi Designs



One of my fabulous crafty pals Jane has turned her hand to drawing digi's inspired by the pretty flowers she sees in her everyday gardening business at Tidy Gardens by Jane.

The Etsy store is due to go live at Midnight tonight at Janey's Digi Designs and there are some gorgeous images on there already. I am sure the ever talented Jane will be drawing many more and I may even get to recognise more flowers and be encouraged to do some gardening.

Not only does she make lovely cards, but now she also make lovely cards with her pretty floral designs.

I am very proud to say that I have been invited to be on her DT and cannot wait to get cracking with her lovely images.

We have a Blog to showcase the images at Janey's Digi Designs where there is currently a pretty yellow Polyanthus on show and we also have a Facebook page here which has a Red Hot Poker and an Icelandic Poppy on it. 

I do hope you will join me in wishing Jane every success with this new venture and look forward to showcasing some of her fab designs soon.

Daisy Doodles - Snow Happy



As our challenges at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges are every fortnight on the 2nd week we take the opportunity to make an extra project to showcase some of the fabulous Digis available from the store.


I had intended to make a post for this image on Christmas Day. Unfortunately due to an unexpected death in the family on Christmas Eve those plans went completely out of the window, but the benefit is that this is my 1st Christmas card of 2013. Yay go me for being a likkle bit organised….. J

This gorgeous image is Snow Happy and is one of the newbies that were added to the store early December. It costs only $2 and you always get the files in JPG, PNG & TIFF so they really are fabulous value for money as I know many other designers offer only one or perhaps 2 for more than these cost.

I have used the current sketch #54 from Crafting Life’s Pieces for the layout. I had to adapt it a little as my 8” card had scalloped edges.

The image is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, a metallic red gel pen and some Stickles glitter glue for added twinkle. Each of the papers are from a different paper pack, I like to mix and match….. The gold strip is a Papermania self adhesive strip that I coloured gold with a Krylon pen. The self adhesive gems were a half price bargain at The Range. They were part of a Dovecraft Christmas line and were half price!!

The metallic ribbon was bought last year in my major haul I had from the market, I loved the yellowy gold shades and as it has a wire edge it holds the bow nicely. Finally the sentiment was recycled from an old card and matted onto a scrap of gold recycled from a perfume box.

I hope you will pop over to the blog to see the lovely creations on there and please remember that you have another week to get your challenge entries in for our Fresh & Simple challenge.

I'll see you again next week with another lovely Daisy Doodles design.


Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size – 8”
Image – Snow Happy by Daisy’s Digi Doodles
Patterned Paper – Green Forever Friends Freebie, Dovecraft Red Snowflakes, DCWV plaid
Embellishments – Ribbon, papermania die cut strip, Dovecraft genms, Stickles Glitter glue
Tools - Letraset Promarkers & Flexmarkers, red glitter gel pen, Krylon gold pen
