New Challenge card and new digistamp.

Afternoon all,

I saw a challenge on this morning that was asking to involve a turkey. I had already been thinking of creating a bit of another digistamp involving a turkey wearing a Santa hat with a bag of pressies next to him and a sentiment underneath of 'Don't eat me, or there won't be any presents for Christmas.

Well, I did it and I'm quite pleased with it. I have so far printed off 6 copies of him and coloured 2. Only one has been used in a card so far and this card uses the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge . It's going to be entered into that one as well as in the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge for this week. Thanks guys for giving me the incentive to create this digistamp now.



It is also going into the challenge at Papertake Weekly, who want us to use a digistamp. I hope you allow me to use one of my own creations for that.

Well, with no further ado, I hope you do like the card. The lighting is not very good this time of day or with this kind of weather (rather dull and cloudy here), but I guess it will give you a bit of an idea. You can find my digistamp on my sister blog 'Trimgym's digistamps and images, here, feel free to use it for your own personal use if you like, but please do keep my signature on it. Thank you.



Hope you like it. Have fun and looking forward to seeing what you'll do with TurkeySanta.

All comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Love,

Jo.

Saturday's last card, 'Tennis'

And the fifth card for today is here. This one is using the sketch from Funky Fairies. Hope you like it.

For this card I used a blue square card blank, added a blue spotty ribbon and a large scalloped and classic circle (nestibility diecut). The yellow scalloped circle is made from handmade paper that is finally starting to come in handy as I bought it a few years ago as a big pack thinking I could use it )but never did much, oops!). The stripy paper circle is from a free download. The blue circles on top of the big circles are from some of my own background papers, you can find them earlier on my blog. The last 2 circles carrying the Happy Birthday peel offs are a free download from Funky Fairies.

Last, but not least there is a 3D decoupage image on top of the central circles.

Hope you like it, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

Thank you for looking, all comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Love,

Jo.

Third card on Saturday, 'Lady with Flower'

Another busy day, here is my third card made today. I really enjoyed myself getting ready for the fair in about a week's time. Just a few more cards to do and then I can start preparing some bags of diecut cardtoppers to sell at the fair. All proceeds obviously going to the school funds. They are still needing to pay back a lot of money following the recent extensions to the building.

For this card I used a sketch from Moving along with the times, this is a new challenge blog and they have their first challenge this week. As it uses downloads as well (the Lily Pickle 3D image), it also fits in with the Papertake Weekly delightful downloads challenge this week. The purple handmade paper used for the flower also makes it fit in with the challenge at Pile it on challenge.

For this challenge I used the 3D image mentioned earlier, a card diecut with scalloped rectangle from nestibilities, a Happy Birthday sentiment and a flower made using handmade paper and diecut with flower die from sizzix. It was great fun making this card.

Hope you like it.

Thank you for looking, all comments are very much appreciated and very welcome.

Love,

Jo.

Card 2 on Saturday, 'The golfer'

Here is my second card for today. This one uses the sketch from The Sweet Stop Saturday Sketches Challenge. Another one that also fits in with the download theme at Papertake Weekly and will therefore also be entered into that challenge. I guess that will make about 5 there now.
For this card I used a download 3D decoupage image from The Lilac Garden, some handmade paper for the diecuts, a stripy download background and some strips of background paper from Funky Fairies. A fairly simple male birthday card. Hope you like it.

Thank you for looking. All comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

Card 1 of Saturday, 'Basketball'

Good evening! It's time to start uploading some of the cards I made today. I had a lot of fun looking through several sketches I found on challenges over the last few days and used them to make some cards for the fair again. My total now stands at 21 and I had thought to make a minimum of 25. Not many to go in that case and if there is any time left I can always make some more difficult cards as well.

This card is using a sketch from Friday Sketchers and I will put it in to that challenge as well.

As I used quite some downloads, I will also put it into the Papertake Weekly delightful downloads challenge.

The 3D decoupage image is from The Lilac Garden, she has some great images on her site free to download for your own use. I used nestibilities to cut out the classic oval out of some textured handmade paper (a bulk buy some years ago). Then used some flower dies from sizzix to make the little flowers adding a little flower brad to form the heart of the flower. The 2 background papers are a free download from Funky Fairies. Hope you like it.

Thank you for looking, you certainly will be a very busy bee if you have seen all my cards downloaded over the last few days.

All comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

Love,

Jo.

Seventh card of Friday, 'Thank you for teaching'

The last card of a rather busy day crafting yesterday. This one is for a few challenges and is a card made for one of the teachers at my kids' school. I found the cute hegehog image on the net, ready to be coloured in.

Following colouring in the image using watercolour pencils, I scanned it and printed it off 8 times to form different layers to form a 3D image. This was stuck onto a purple piece of card cut out with nestibilities scalloped rectangle. A circle was cut out from purple paper already embossed with raindrops beforehand and a Thank you peel off was stuck onto this. I printed off some spotty paper, a download from Funky Fairies, and made this into a small paper ribbon. I then stuck a little bow onto it to finish off the card.

Finally I added some little gems on the left side of the card.

The sketch was from Cupcake Challenge.

This card is therefore intended for the following challenges:

1. Papertake Weekly delightful downloads

2. Creative Card Crew challenge 16 whatever the weather

3. Cupcake Craft Challenges challenge 45 sketch

4. Diecut dreams

5. pile it on challenge

When I initially did the card I forgot to put the little gems in place, these were added afterwards, the card before this minor transformation is shown below.

Hope you like my card.

Thank you for looking,

all comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

4th card of Friday, 'Hockeygirl'

This is another card I made yesterday. For this card I used a sketch from Verve challenge for yesterday, found it worked quite well with another card I made and just put the rectangles in another direction to fit this image. Hope you like it, it should fit well for any teenage girl with sporting interests.

This card also fits in with the challenge at Papertake Weekly Challenge, where it's all about

using downloads in your projects this week. The background papers have been downloaded (including the circle which uses a background from Funky Fairies like the swirly background) and the 3D decoupage image has been downloaded from The Lilac Garden.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Love,

Jo.

Another challenge card, 'Special Wishes'.

Hello, just a quick upload of another new card for a challenge. This time using a sketch from 2 sketches 4 you. Hope you like it.

With the exception of the 'no embellishments' in the brief and the absence of a stamped image in my card, it also fits with the stamp with us challenge and as all papers and the 3D decoupage image have been downloaded, it also fits with the Papertake Weekly challenge.


For this card I used a cute decoupage image I found on the net, several papers from Funky Fairies, some holographic film and a bit of white card to mount the sentiment on. The blue circle underneath the image is made of card.



Thanks for looking. All comments much appreciated and welcome as always.

Have a great weekend.

Love,

Jo.

Today's card1, 'Miss You'

A busy and productive day today.

I managed to make a total of 7 cards in between the school runs, no more time for today anymore I'm afraid. Soon will need to go to karate training and then it's time for bed near enough.

For this card I used the following challenges for inspiration:

1. Sketch Saturday , the sketch
2. Penny Black Challenge , the stamp and the purple strip is embossed with raindrops
3. Secret Crafter Saturday , pink and green
4. Our Creative Corner , stars
5. Pile it on , purple
6. Creative Card Crew , weather (raindrops embossed on purple)
7. Papertake Weekly , the background paper underneath the 2 rectangles is a download.

I hope you like my card, I coloured the stamped image with chalks, put it onto green card cut with nestibilities.

The purple strip of paper underneath has been embossed with raindrops (fiskars).

Added a 'Miss You' sentiment, 3 stars on each side at the top, and ready.

As usual all comments are very welcome and very much appreciated.

Thank you for looking!

Love ,

Jo.
