Cute card Thursday challenge #51

My sister asked me to make a friend of hers a 60th birthday card so I thought I would combine it with the challenge over at Cute card Thursday which is a fab sketch by Katharina, I love it. I hope my submission counts however as I had to adapt it slightly.

The fab sketch:


My card:

Card Ingredients:

• DP - Basic Grey Scarlet's Letter
• Stamp - Magnolia Tilda with Rose
• Colouring Medium - Letraset Promarkers
• Sentiment - computer generated, 60 plaque is by East of India & is available from Deb at Stampeezee, (I don't think they are on the web site you will need to call the shop).
• Embellishments - Buttons - SU, Ribbon, SU, Eyelet SU, flowers & bling dots from my stash
• Tools, martha stewart doily punch, cricut, cuttlebug & nestie dies

The inside of my card:

Yes you can see a mini Tilda with Rose, I had a look on Marlene's blog and she has one of these cute stamps up as blog candy (ending tonight), they are only available from the NEC or other craft shows Magnolia attend. I had decided I was not going but I have been a bit stressed out lately and after going on and on about them after visiting Marlene's blog, my lovely husband took me along (we only live 15 minutes away) for a few hours to treat me to some of these mini stamps. Whilst I was there I met Rach from Papercrafts by Rach......it's so nice to meet these talented people and Rach is lovely.........we raided the minis together (I got about 10). It was a smaller show than usual but I still managed to spend a few pennies (mostly at the Magnolia stand).

I hope my sisters friend likes the card.

Thanks for looking & please feel free to leave a comment.

Another card created for a triple challenge, not one of my best I have to say..........I seem to have lost my creative mojo this week!!!

The sketch is for sketch & stash challenge #13 and in addition you have to use new or neglected stash, for which i have used 2 stamps i have never used before. The colour scheme is following the colour create challenge 'peach & aqua', I really struggled with this one & finally the secret Crafter challenge is to create a card with a spring theme........hope this one passes.

I created this card with the following materials:

• Stamps - Sarah Kay -spring blossoms & Hero arts birthday stamp from birthday pack
• Cardstock - Coredinations
• Accesories - brads, ribbon, stickles glitter glue
• Colouring medium - Tim Holtz distress inks & Lyra aquacolours
• Equipment - cuttlebug & oval nesties, cricut & Accent essentials cartridge for flourish

Be mine!!!!!

Sorry about the poor piccie it was dark when I took this photo......the lovely vibrant papers I used look dull on this photo.

This card was created for 2 challenges, Crafts for Eternity have provided a lovely sketch to follow & the One stop craft challenge was to incorporate circles/spots into the card.

I used the following material to create this card:

• Magnolia Pink Tilda with heart stamp available here
• Sentiment from Pink Petticoat Tiny tags
• Papers - Daisy Bucket love you collection, Love notes & True love
• Cricut & Doodlecharms cartridge for heart border
• Cuttlebug & nestie circle, scallop & heart dies
• Letraset promarkers
• Bling from my stash

2 in 1 challenge!!

Two challenges in 1 this time, I used the sketch from Crafts for Eternity & the challenge over at Lilli of the Valley was to create a card for a man using one of their products, I don't have many Lilli stamps suitable for men.......this is the closest.

I created this card using the following:

• Lilli of the valley stamp
• Sentiment from Hero arts sentiment collection
• Cricut & Accent Essential cartridge to cut the stars
• Letraset promarkers to colour
• Brads from my stash

Valentine Tilda

Please help me .......I had a nightmare colouring in my Tilda for this card, I never had the right watercolours or distress inks so I had to dig out my Letraset Promarkers. Can anyone tell me the best ink to use with these things as both Stazon & versafine smudge even when left over night (you would not believe how many Tilda's got binned last night for smudging or bleeding outside of the lines). I am also looking for a good tutorial for these pens as they all seem to be created around copics - any tips would be fab!!

Anyway, this card was created for 3 challenges, possibly 4, the sketch to follow was from Raspberry Ribbons, the theme over at Caardvarks was hearts & I stumbled across Bitten by the Bug - use the heart from the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge on your card.....I hardly use my cricut so I thought I would have a go. Finally I am not sure if the card qualifies for the Arty Girlz challenge which was use red & white (I have green & flesh colors too) but I will enter it anyway!!!

I am not that pleased with this card.....i feel it needs a sentiment but could not get one to look right so i left it off......that space above the hearts just looks a bit bare!!!

I created this card using the following:

• Pink Tilda with Rose stamp (I know I used it on the card before but i love it)
• Cricut & Doodlecharms cartridge to cut the hearts
• Lovely butterfly & white ribbon from Rainbows & Ribbons (oodles of lush ribbon)
• Letraset Promarkers
• Cuttlebug & nestie dies to cut the rectangle Tilda is in
• Papermania red adhesive gems
• Stampin up corner ticket punch (only available in U.S at the moment)
