Hot Diggity Doggie Goes Camping!

I think boyfriend my end up a little jealous of my love affair with Hot Diggity Dog!  But he's just so cute!!  And the images are so easy to colour since I invested on some ProMarkers.  I have recently invested in the ProMarker Ultra-fine Nib and it made those teeny tiny little frogs so much easier to colour.

I probably shouldn't be blogging this given the stamp has sold out but I just couldn't resist - Sorry.


Materials:
Hot Diggity Dog Stamp - Sold Out (He's mine!)
ProMarkers - One of these days I will get into the habit of writing down which ones!!!

I am entering this card into the NOAH'S ARK CHALLENGE 16th July to 29th July.

Green Lady at Lunch

I've been having a bit of a green phase lately, I don't mean I've been ill or jealous - LOL.  Sage particularly has been appearing in more and more of my cards, even before the Chelsea Green Capsule collection was released.

Strictly Party

I'm absolutely loving the new Strictly Party collection from Papermania, my only gripe is that there isn't more in the range. As soon as I saw the gorgeous papers included in the Ultimate Die Cut Pack I just had to treat myself!

Best of British Criss Cross Card

This is my take on a criss cross card.  It's not technically correct as the two side panels should be stuck to the base panel to make a pocket.  I felt it added dimension to leave them open.

The card blank is made by sticking two single fold card blanks together and trimming the outer panels along the diagonal.

Happy Days Cupcakes

For this card I've used roughly the same layout as the Happy Days Free Project, yet again.  I tend to come up with an idea and keep repeating it in slightly different ways, coming up with new ideas along the way.


Ingredients:
Stamp from Little Cake Shoppe Collection - discontinued

I am entering this card into the Digi/Stamping Challenge- 25th June- 8th July, theme Cupcakes.

Happy Days Cherries

I have to admit I wasn't an especially huge fan of the new Happy Days collection when I first saw it.  But after an evening playing with the new products I'm absolutely loving it!

It's so fun and funky with small images on the papers and lots of elements to mix and match.  It goes really well with distressed edges and a hint of black ink.

This card layout is a total copy of this weeks free project, but hey, if it ain't broken don't fix it!

Hot Diggity Dog Card

I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with this card and with the gorgeous sunshine which meant I didn't have to get my light box out.

As a camper and dog owner I just love this image from Hot Diggity Dog.  The papers are also by Hot Diggity Dog and co-ordinate with the spring colours perfectly.  I've added a little extra interest with one of the little frog stamps and some leftover peel off bits.

Katy's Sketch Challenge 6th to 19th June

This is not my usual style of card, with the strips in the background but I enjoyed the challenge of doing something out of my comfort zone and after all that's the point of challenges!

I don't think flowers suit this range so I made some little tags using the tiny little stickers and bits from the  Designstax to make little tags where flowers are positioned on the sketch.

 

Ingredients:
Cardstock Stickers - Best Of British
6x6 Designstax - Best Of British 
Colorset Recycled Paper - Bright Red

Christmas in June?

I love love the Papermania Enchanted Fairies collections!  The Christmas range was the only one that included red and blue for the Passion For ProMarkers Red White and Blue challenge - hence the very early Christmas card.  But it has reminded me that Christmas will come along all too soon so it's never too early to start!

5X7 Urban Stamps - Enchanted Christmas (Reindeer)
Assorted Buttons Boofle

Best of British Male Card

I'm loving this really simple layout and the lovely shades of blue that make the Beefeater's red coat really stand out.


Ingredients:

I was going to enter this card into two challenges (really getting into this multi-tasking lark!) but ding bat me missed the deadline for entries at Sketch Saturday Week 210 DOH!  So that leaves Craft Challenge 158 - Male Card.

Indigo and Ivory Wellington

I have a slight obsession with this gorgeous little bear!  

The card colours are Indigo and Ivory which immediately made me think of the freebie papers included with the Do Crafts Creativity Magazine Issue 33.  

I have this theory that white and cream don't mix well together so this card features a technique I've been using in quite a lot of my cards lately.  Wellington has been outlined with a Pastel Beige Pro Marker.  I've then gone over this shadow in Ivory and then again in Ivory and over the whole of the white background using the chisel nib.  I only had a white card blank to hand so I've used the same technique on the very edges of the card so it co-ordinates perfectly with the rest of the card.



Ingredients:
Greeting Tag - ?
Pro Markers - Sandstone, Warm Grey 3, Warm Grey 2, Warm Grey 1, Black, Henna, Burnt Sienna, Pastel Beige and Ivory (for the background)

Forever Friends With Love

This is one of my all time favourite stamps.  I remember being delighted when it was released as a clear stamp as I just don't have space for many wooden ones.

This vintage theme is nothing like my usual style, it started with the Vintage Rose papers and kind of grew from there.  I'm really pleased with the result.


Ingredients:
Stamp - Forever Friends All Loved Up - Discontinued
Tags - Papermania

I am entering this card into two challenges (go me - multitasking!):

Happy Crafting!
