DTBST #190 Summer Reading

Its Thursday so there is another DTBST Challenge over at 

Sassy Studio Designs the theme for this one is Summer Reading create your project on your favourite book.

There is more information on Sassy Studio Designs Blog if you click on the link above.

This is what I came up with for my DT entry which was a bit of a struggle for me as I'm not a big reader.

Image I've used is Victorian Holiday Sassy coloured with alcohol pens placed under another new Spellbinders shape called Decorative Labels Twenty-Eight which will be available to buy at the end of august 2013.

 I cut centrer out using Labels Twenty-Eight and glued together.

To create the backing paper and greeting I used my Craft Artist Professional 2 from Daisy Trail and designed the paper.corners and lace boarder using various digi kits that I have purchased and downloaded into this very versatile programme.

Finally all that is left to say is hope you can join in with this challenge I would love to see what you all create.

Sorry You're Leaving

This is a 8"x 8" size card white on white this is for a very good friend at work who is leaving for another job I will be giving her this card this evening while at work as this is the last shift I will ever be working with her, I do hope she likes it. 

Its a very sad time for me because I will miss her very much while at the same time be very happy for her and wish her all the best in her new job.

This has been created using a couple of  ornamental add on,s called Heartfelt Creations Holly Berry spellbinders die set, the embossed background is from one of the 8x8 embossing folders from 

Crafters Companion UK Site or  Crafters Companion USA Site  then finally highlighted the edges of the embossed card using a silver gold leaf metallic pen.

Thanks for stopping by.

DTBST # 189 Get Krafty

Its time for a Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge and the theme for this weeks challenge is to Get Krafty which means you have to create something using/incorporating Kraft card/paper.

There are more details over at Sassy Studio Designs Blog.

Now here is My SSD DT creation.

I've gone for a steampunk style for this challenge which is really out of my comfort zone.

I created this using SSD Melefecent Pinup digi which you can get hold of along with loads of other digi images over at 

Sassy Studio Designs Shop  

I coloured her using a mixture of spectum noir alcohol pens from crafters companion and copic pens.

Then inked around the edges using one of the vintage Tim Holtz Distress ink pads and mounted onto some black card, for my background I used a mask which was inked up with perfect medium laid onto my card stock which was then run through my GC then added some cosmic shimmer black aurora embossing powder and heated it with a craft heat gun and mounted this and the digi image topper onto my base card.

Once this was all done I set about creating my greeting I used two spellbinder dies to create the greeting tile and the bracket and inked again with Tim Holtz Ink pads and added some bakers twine to the bracket and greeting and mounted onto my card to give you the finished result.

Just need to thank everyone for stopping by and hope this has inspired you to get creating I do love to see what everyone does with the theme and images available.

Coffee Sugar Nellie Card

Here is another Sugar Nellie card ive finished using the coffee morning stamp. this card has taken me the last couple of day as couldn't decide what to add to the bottom as everything I tried just didn't look right so after getting a lot of support and suggestions from my crafty friend on facebook this is what I decided on using the spellbinders blossom die.

The image has been coloured using my alcohol pens and cut out using one of the new spellbinders die called Captivating Squares, the fancy shaped edge I've created using another new spellbinders die called Scalloped Boarder Two,  both these dies where show cased at the CHA in Vegas recently and living in the UK myself and many others where privy to these and able to purchase them before the official release when they will be available to everyone but this wont be until end of August 2013 so I'm sorry its bit of a tease but you know what is coming and can look forward to getting hold of your own soon. 

 Finally thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my second ever card made using one of Sugar Nellie's stamps I'm loving using them so I would love for you to let me know what you think of the finished result both good or bad even what you may think could be done to improve it.

Here is my DT gate fold card created using the new Velma digi.  you will be able to get yours from Sassy Studio Designs Shop 

I created the backing paper from 

co ordinations card stock then embossed using a spellbinders 

m bossibility numbers folder coloured Velma using alcohol pens and then cut her out using a square spellbinders die as well as the square frame from a new spellbinders die called Captivating Squares which where show cased at the CHA in Vegas  so isn't available until end of August 2013 so sorry bit of a tease.

The vine is a cheery lynn die I believe that ive placed in the 2 bottom corners left and right.

For the inside ive used the same coordinating card and embossed the purple again with the

M Bosibility spellbinders embossing folders then added some lace ribbon to the right of the centre piece and finally cut out the new fancy spellbinders square  as well as the plain square mounted ontop of each other then added to the card. final thing ive done is place some hook and loop to the over lap of the square topper on the front of this card to keep the card shut when closed.

Well think that is enough from me now just hope to see you on the hop have fun and good luck to each of you. now your next stop is Chris's Blog .

Sweet Pink Sugar Nellie Belle Card

Here is the first ever 6x6 size card I've made using belle stamp from 

Sugar Nellie, I love her and the stamp stamped out perfectly first time.

I coloured her using my spectrum noire alcohol pens from 

Crafters CompanionUk or if live in the USA from Crafters Companion US 

then cut out using a rectangle spellbinders die followed by cutting the fancy rectangle die from spellbinders again to mount together and highlighted by adding some hand drawn dashes around the edge of the image as well as round the edge of the base card.

I just loved creating this card and would recommend Sugar Nellie Stamps to anyone very good quality and deeply etched  I'm sure that I will be using this stamp and the others I've purchased recently again and again just simple love them.

Anyway thanks for stopping by.

Im wishing you all a great Sunday with plenty of crafting.
