My 'Inspiration Scribbler' card for Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

Today, I am sharing my 'Inspiration Scribbler' project, made for the
Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog which you can find HERE

The theme this month is 'Moustaches'

The details of the current challenge can be found HERE

I started by mat and layering the digi image onto black card.
Using my Scor-Buddy I embossed some lines onto the card base.
Using 3D foam I placed the image just over half way down the card base,
and then added the die-cut computer generated sentiment below it.

Female Birthday Card

Today I am sharing the card I made for my friend’s birthday
last week.

Using a piece of pink linen textured card, I embossed it with the 3D embossing
folder and cut to size.

 I then carefully moved a white ink pad across the embossed parts to catch the
edges of the petals.

I glued it directly onto the card base, and attached the die-cut computer
generated sentiment using 3d foam pads.

To finish, I added a few pearl gems.

The products I have used are:
Lisa Horton Crafts 3D embossing folder - Blooming Peony

Birthday Card for my Great Nephew

May and June are busy cardmaking months with five family birthdays!

Today, I am sharing the card I made for one of my great nephews. 
This year I decided to come away from the usual tractors and made
him a football themed card in West Ham colours who he likes.

I partly embossed the card base with the Crafters Companion Football
Crazy embossing folder, and then used my Hougie board to emboss two lines.

I found a free football image which I printed on blue lightweight card
to use as a backing paper, which I matted onto white card with
the edges coloured with a claret Promarker. I attached it to
the card base using 3D foam.

I used a football die on black card, glued it to
some white card and hand cut, and then die-cut the number
in claret card to mount on top of the football.

The sentiment is computer generated.

base, added the die-cut number and the printed sentiment.

Female Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made earlier this month

for a friend.

I used the ‘cut and emboss’ folder which I was lucky enough to win in a

 competition last year, but have not used until now.

I used the folder directly on the card base, and glued a panel of

lemon card on the inside.

I then stamped the sentiment in silver ink, and die-cut it using the frame-lit die.

Next, I glued it to the lemon card die-cut using the labels die and then 

used 3D foam squares to attach it to the centre of the card base.

Lastly, I added two diamanté gems to finish.

The products I have used are:

Spellbinders Cut and Emboss Folder - Floral Reflection 

Spellbinders Labels 14

Sizzix - Framelits ‘Hello’ set of dies

Clearly Besotted stamps - Brushed Sentiments

Sweet Winter Blanket crocheted for my Sister

Today, I am sharing the blanket/throw I crocheted for my sister earlier this year.

I made it using the pattern for the Sweet Winter blanket, designed
by Sue Rawlinson also known as ‘Sweetpea Family’ on Facebook and Instagram

You can find the original blanket I made HERE and another I made in
neutral colours for my niece HERE

I purchased Sue's pattern from Love Crafts which you can find HERE 

 I purchased the yarn online from the Wool Box HERE

I asked my sister which colours she would like, and she chose these
to co-ordinate with her lounge.

The pattern uses 9 x 100g balls of Stylecraft Special DK and I
used the following shades:

Cream, Mustard, Turquoise, Teal, and Mocha

I really love crocheting this pattern, and I'm sure I will make

another in the future using different colours.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
