Passion for Promarkers, Embellishments

Hi bloggers, Hope this finds you all well, by now I will be into my first week in Florida in theme park heaven with my lovely family so forgive me if I don't visit you this week, I am scheduling my next few posts - fingers crossed they work!!

Anyway, this week at Passion for Promarkers the challenge is 'make your own Embellishments' I chose to use an a la mode stamp from My Favourite Things, don't cha think that lil lady and that teddy are cute?? I love these a la modes, see them all here, the one I have used is 'Oh Baby' and it comes with 4 sentiments that stamp beautifully!!I had to paper piece that teddy and pop his head up on dimensionals, soooooooo adorable!!!

I coloured the rest of the image in the following Promarkers, all of which are available here: Blush, Dusky Pink, Rose pink, meadow green, apple, cocoa and caramel

The Rosette was made from this die here and the paper button using this die here.

My Favourite things are bringing out some fab lines at the moment, I think I have a slight obsession with this manufacturer at the moment...LOL

The sketch is an old Mojo Monday, fab layout.

Oh before I forget the DP is Imaginisce Baby Powder Baby's breath, so sweet!!

Hope you like my card, have a great week and thanks for looking.x

I will try to do as much commenting as I can before I go but don't be offended if I don't stop by as I will be scheduling a few posts but I will have no access to a computer for 2 weeks!!! Hubby said I am banned....no mobile either.......not sure how I will cope...LOL

Anyway, this week at Passion for Promarkers we want to the colours Yellow and Pink, i took th oppurtunity to ink up my new Pure Innocence Daffodil stamp I got from Stampeezee!!

Blush, dusky pink, pastel pink. sunflower, gold, caramel, cocoa, baby pink, cerise, bright green & leaf green



The sentiment came with the stamp set

Passion for Promarkers In the Garden

Hi Bloggers, I hope you are all well, Passion for Promarkers time again already, where is the time going?

This week our theme has been chosen by the boss Denise and it is 'in the Garden', I just had to ink up 'Carnation' from Pure Innocene that I got from Stampeezee on Saturday. I teamed this cutie up with some Cosmo Cricket Early Bird Paper available here and my Blossom nestabilities in stock here. I thought all of these floral elements fitted the challenge perfectly!!



The sentiment I used is from this Whimsy set here and the little embellishments I used are called 'Dew Drops' and are available in lots of colours here

Carnation was coloured with Promarkers in the following colours:

Burgundy, Red, Cocoa, Sandstone, cool grey 1, Duck egg blue, Turquoise, Blush, Pastel Pink, Dusky Pink, Leaf green, Forest Green and the Blender

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment so I know you stopped by.

Passion for Promarkers - Food & Drink

Hi bloggers, hope you all had a great weekend, it's Passion for Promarkers time again and this week Denise has chosen the theme 'Food & Drink', so we need to see something food or drink related, or both.....simples!!

As soon as I saw this weeks challenge I knew that I wanted to use Birthday Flopsey from My Favourite Things, available here at Stampeezee, as you can see Flopsey's ears would not fit in my nestie so I made it so they stuck out, love that technique!!

I have got a bit addicted to MFT lately as Stampeezee are now stocking more of their fab products!! The border was created with the MFT open scallop die available here

The layout for my card is last weeks Mojo Monday sketch, I am a day late so I can't enter the challenge but I liked the sketch anyway.

I coloured Flopsey with the following Promarkers:

Pastel blue, pastel pink, Turquoise, cool aqua, Umber, Cinnamon, Sandstone, Gold, Tan & Blender

The sentiment is from the same set as Flopsey, you get the Flopsey and 3 sentiments, Bargain!!!

My papers are Basic Grey Hopscotch in Stock here

Anyway, I hope you like my card, thanks for stopping by, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them and I will know you have popped in and will stop by your place.x

Passion for Promarkers - Sugar Rush

Hi bloggers, hope you are all well, another week gone by and time again for Passion for Promarkers, this week Vix has chosen the theme 'Sugar Rush', I have gone for cute & girly.

I chose to use a cute image from La La Land Crafts, Ballarina Marci, some of this adoarable range will soon be available at Stampeezee....can't wait, they have some cute images!!

I made a trinket box using the tutorial I used last year from Kirsten's blog, hubby converted it to metric for me, details on this post here

The layout is from this weeks Friday Sketchers, fab sketch by Claudia



This is the view at the back, I used a Whimsy Stamp from the handmade letter seals set, in stock here at Stampeezee, I cut the image out with nesties

Look at the sentiment I used, it is perfect for this image. It is from a set called Sweet Spring Jolinne available here at Stampeezee, I stamped it in Rich Cocoa Memento.

The nesting die set I used for the sentiment is by Die-namics from MFT also from Stampeezee and should be back in stock any day now, I had the last one...isn't it just fab?? Check out the other MFT dies Debbie has in stock, they are fantastic.



Check out the pearls in Marci's hair below, they are by Stampin Up, they are tiny, love them, they come in a pack of all different sizes, I got mine from the lovely Rach

I also decoupaged her flower and skirt.......how adorable!!

I coloured my image in the following PM's:

Cerise, Baby Pink, Pale pink, Leaf green, Blush, Dusky pink, Pastel Pink, Cinnamon, Umber, Cool grey 1 & 2 and the blender.



I used papers from the Lost & Found collection from My Minds Eye, they have the range in Stock in Hobbycraft at the moment, bit pricey though!!! The cardstock is Stampin Up Chocolate Chip, I used my last few sheets on this project!!

The ribbon I used is seam binding available in 20 colours here at Stampeezee

Not sure if you can tell from the pics but I went a bit mad with the crystal stickles!!

My card also qualifies for the DYSU challenge which is 'anything goes' and I have entered my project into the La La Land Crafts very own Gallery for March.

Thanks for looking please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Dance Tilda Dance

Hi peeps, hope you are all well, we are back from a lovely week in Scotland spent with the family. Lots of craft shopping was done, I even managed a visit to the fabulous Simply Create in rural Aberdeen, er well 2 actually the first time it was half day closing...........I just assumed it would be open!!! Oh well it's only a 250 mile round trip from Kinross.......Lol. Yes I am a tad mad but I tell you once I had seen the yumminess through the windows I had to get in that shop!!!

Anyhow we managed to make a day of it the second time around and the first visit was combined with a visit to see the fab Deb (Wiccababe), loved meeting you and the little one Debz.

Anyway, whilst I was in my mother in-laws local craft shop, Stampaholics in Perth I saw a card I just had to case, I made a few minor changes but here it is:

How cute is Tilda, she is still in stock here, I just had to snap mine up.
The sentiment is from a My Favourite things set I got from Stampeezee, here. I thought it went perfect with this Tilda.

The punch is Martha Stewarts Pinking Scallop, my mother in law pipped me to the last one in Stampaholics, but I discovered Stampeezee have them to, Yay!!

Anyhow, some bling and some Diamond stickles later and voila, it was finished..........well actually it took me hours!!!!! Lol. I just loved the simplicity of this card, hope you like it.

Have a great wekend.

More Pure Innocence

Phew, the temperatures have soared here in the Midlands!! Far too hot for me to sit out in so I got another Pure Innocence stamp Inky to show you, this one is called Tree Swing, how cute is this lil fella?

He even comes with 3 sentiments and a little dog, find him and his friends here



I coloured him stamped him in Memento Tuxedo black Ink, in stock here and coloured him with Promarkers, all available here

The paper is Stampin Up's To the Nines, the punch is by EK Success, I have used card candy to compliment the paper, but I didn't have the colour I wanted so I coloured white ones with my Promarkers, cool huh??

I am so impressed with myself, I only got these MFT stamps the other day and I have inked up 2 of them already, that is just so good for me!!! Actually I have had a really productive day, got loads of housework done, including shampooing the lounge carpet (don't have cream with 3 dogs) and I have made 2 cards the other is a DT card, you can see that one Tuesday)

Anyway, gonna curl up on the sofa with hubby and watch some criminal minds, love anything like that!!!

Pure Innocence!!!

Oh my, I feel another obsession coming on!!!!

Hi peeps, hope you are all well on this lovely sunny day, I have taken a half day holiday from work to be out and about in it but I got distracted by Stampeezee, they have just taken delivery of a selection of the adorable Pure Innocence Stamps from My Favourite things, check them out here, you best be quick though as these cutie patooties won't hang around for long I'm sure!! I just had to hot foot it to the store to grab mine before they all sell out!!

I inked up Blooming good day and coloured her with my Promarkers, all in stock here, the sentiment came with the stamp and I stamped them both together on a large acrylic block, just love that, no lining up to do. They are such good quality by the way they stamp beautifully.

The adorable DP is by Imaginisce called Twitterpated Lady Bug Ball, so cute!!! The buttons are from my stash and I have threaded them with Bakers Twine available here in 3 colours, I just love the little pegs they come on and for 99p for 20 metres they are a steal!!!

By the way Deb at Stampeezee is re-launching her blog, sign up as a follower here to keep up to date with all the new arrivals and news from the shop, Deb tries to stock the more hard to get stamps such as Unity, My favourite things, Artful Stamper and Justrite and she carries a fantastic range of Martha Stewart and EK Success punches!!! I think she may be posting candy soon to so keep em peeled!!!

Anyway, I am off back to my craft room to play with the rest of my delicious Pure Innocence stamps, have a great day in the sun.
