And ....... I loved this paper so much, I just had to decorate the inside too! This is a big first for me never, ever having done this before :o)



I love this card ..... did you guess? LOL! It's the papers that have made it extra special for me :o)

My entry for the latest Sugar Bowl challenge 'Men'.

The stamp used is called 'Karate Luca' from Sugar Nellie. The papers are all from the Well Worn collection from Paper Loft. I used the Scalloped Oval and Word Window punches from Stampin' UP! to create the sentiment mats. The sentiment itself is another stamp from the Very Versatile set, also by Stampin' UP!. The cardstock used is Stampin' UP!'s Basic Black.

Stamps And Smiles - #8 Challenge

I loved using the sketch from Stamps and Smiles this week! So much so ... I did two cards straight off :)

For the boys card I used 'Rock Star' Luca from Sugar Nellie. Bazzill cardstock. The papers are all from The Paper Loft - 'Well Worn' collection. The sentiment and mats are created using Stampin' UP! products.

I used one of my Miss Anya's from The Greeting Farm for the girls card. Bazzill cardstock again and papers from Cosmo Cricket - 'Storytime' collection. The sentiment is the same one from Stampin' UP! (Very Versitile set) and the mats have been created using the new oval punches .. again from Stampin' UP!.

I like both of these cards. The sketch was very easy to use and I will definitely use this one again :)

Charisma Cardz Challenge - #12

This week's challenge from Charisma Cardz is 'My Favourite Things'. A really easy challenge for me because my favourite things are my stamps :)

The papers used are from Daisy Bucket Designs - Garden Gate collection ... and I love them :) The stamp used is another Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie which I've coloured using Promarkers. I have used the new Oval punches from Stampin' UP! for the sentiment mats and the sentiment stamp is also from their 'Very Versitile' stamp set. The cardstock is Bazzill.

The Sugar Bowl - Challenge #7

My entry for the latest Sugar Bowl challenge 'Spring or Easter'. A spring birthday card .... :)

The stamp used is by Elisabeth Bell called 'Sweet n Sassy' from Sugar Nellie. The papers are all from the Katlin Collection by Crate Paper. The sentiment is from the 'Circle of Friendship' stamp set from Stampin' UP! I have also used the Scalloped circle and circle punches from Stampin' UP! to create the mats used with the sentiment. The cardstock used is from DCWV.

Charisma Cardz Challenge - #11

The stamped images are from Sugar Nellie and are by Leanne Ellis. The sentiment stamp is from a new stamp set by Stampin' UP! - Very Versatile (available from the mini catalogue). All the cardstock is from Bazzill. Both images are coloured using Promarkers.
