Easter is a-coming!

Good morning blogland

Still here, even if I don't post that often, and still playing catch-up.  The catch-up part is that this is a joint post for one challenge, the challenge being Sweet Stampin' Challenge the joint part being that my first card is for the current challenge and my second card for a challenge that my blog never made live.

So current challenge is 'Easter Creations' as always this is a 'for fun' challenge so there is no prize but you could get picked for a 'spotlight' badge.  There are two rules as well for the challenge, which are use a stamp (rubber or digital) and follow the theme.

My card for the current challenge:


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
It's an image brought off of an etsy seller - these are sold as 'wraps' and/or svg cutting files but they work perfectly well as digi stamps for card making.
All I did was add a little bit of shading with my Copics to ground the image.

Rubber stamp:
An ancient 'Happy Easter' sentiment that I'd almost forgotten I had and don't know the make of

Dies:
Pretty Pink Posh : eyelet borders
Creative Craft Products : A2 essentials portrait card die set

Anything else:
self-adhesive pearls

I do like these random etsy sellers I come across - this  one had a sale on their shop and I got 26 little unicorns coming out of eggs and a 'mega bundle' of various Easter images for around £2.00.  All delivered digitally and ready to use within the space of 5 minutes. Win, win!

Shame is, I don't use Easter cards - never have and don't know anyone who does - so this is going to be another card sitting in a box that I don't use!

And here endeth the first post! :-)


Moving onto the card that was for a previous Sweet Stampin' challenge and that it now appears never made it to my blog:


This challenge was for a 15th March 'St Patricks or feature a drink' challenge.  I am not Irish and don't 'do' St Patricks so that was a nope for me, and therefore ended up with the 'feature a drink' part of the challenge.

I was, again, running behind hence another pretty simple card, again, supplies used were:

Digi stamp:
Another etsy seller and just a few additions, for depth, with my Copics
Lili of the Valley - watercolour background

Rubber stamp:
taylored expressions: Simple Strips - background

Dies:
Creative Expressions - Noble Collection: double stitched squares
Sunny Collection - Stitched circles
taylored expressions: Simple Strips - well rounded

One of these days I'm actually going to be on time, or even (draw in sharp breath!) ready early, for a challenge and it'll be something better than 'running late, did something simple'!

If I were you I'd pop on over to the challenge and take a peep at my Teamies makes, they are all so much better than mine - and they even blogged them!

Right am off again,
Seez ya later,
Sarah

It's Easter chicks

Good morning blogland,

So here I am again and this time with a new challenge from Passion for Markers, this week the theme is 'Easter' the challenge lasts a week, you have to follow the theme and use your markers but then you're set to be in with a chance to win two digis from our wonderful sponsor All Dressed Up.

This my card made with one of the super cute digis the DT were given to play with:


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
All Dressed Up - Easter Chicks
coloured with my Copics
(I also created the word 'Easter' in Publisher when I printed the digi)

Dies:
Creative Expressions - Noble Collection: Double Stitched Squares
Creative Craft Products - Nestables: circles and stitched circles
Anna Marie Designs - Evergreen Wreath
Catherine Pooler - 'Wishes' word die

Anything else:
yellow spotty paper

That was a bit of a die fest wasn't it! I think I just pulled loads of 'em out of the cupboard and then kept using them until something worked!

And that's about it folks - it's still full on work here, so this is short and sweet and then I'm off to work!

See you all soon,
Sarah
