TIME OUT CHALLENGE #253 (Last Challenge for 2023)

 Hi there Crafty Friends! The countdown is on and this is the last challenge for Time Out in 2023. We challenge you to be SPARKLY ✨! That should be easy!

I used a super cute stamp from Stamping Bella - Tiny Townie Pamela the Poinsettia. I water-coloured the image with Inktense Pencils and Karin Markers. Then I added lots of SPARKLE✨ with Nuvo Glitter Gloss Pen.  The background paper also has glitter and I added a sprinkle of Sequins to finish. 

Our Sponsor is PICKET FENCE STUDIO with a generous $25 gift voucher for our winner, chosen by our DT! 

We welcome Heather from Handmade by Heather, the winner of Time Out #250, as our Guest Designer. 

You can see her card and lots more from our DT at the Time Out Challenge blog

52 CHRISTMAS CARD THROWDOWN COLOUR challenge may '22

 Hi Crafty Friends.  Tracy is our host for May at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge.

The second challenge of the month is always a  colour challenge.  Tracy has chosen the following colours for us this month ...

I recently had a weekend of crafting with my friend Jenny Dix, who is on the Stamping Bella DT, so I got to play with all the SB stamps. I thought this one was perfect for this week's colour combo. 

The image was coloured with Prismacolor Pencils.

Stamp: Stamping Bella Teeney Tiny Townie wit a Fruitcake

I hope you'll visit the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog to see what our fabulous  Design Team and our talented Guest Designer, Chrissie, have created with this sketch. Looking forward to seeing your cards in the gallery:)

52 CHRISTMAS CARD THROWDOWN 'FEB 22 (TECHNIQUE)

 It's the last 52 CCT challenge for February and our host Andreja wants us to  'PAPER PIECE' with stamps for our Technique Theme. See the video link on our blog for inspiration.

I've been admiring this adorable stamp for a long time and decided to purchase it for this challenge:)

It was a little bit fiddly to fussy cut some of the smaller bits, but I like the final result. I edged the cut pieces wth black marker for more definition.

Stamp: Stamping Bella Bundle Girl

Papers: Kaisercraft

I hope you'll visit the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog to see what the rest of the team created with these colours and then be inspired to join in the challenge!

Unicorn Birthday

I found this Unicorn in my stamped images stash from an old Retreat and knew it would suit the themes for these challenges. 

I believe the Unicorn stamp is from Stamping Bella and the sentiment from Altenew.

HLS Christmas Card Challenge (March)

 Hi there! It's time to begin another Happy Little Stampers Christmas Card Challenge. 

The theme this month is either *ANGELS* or if you prefer *ANYTHING GOES*.

I used some designer paper from my Christmas stash box and die-cut a window for the cute Angel, which was coloured with Copic Markers.

The sentiment was silver embossed and fussy cut.

Stamps: Stamping Bella Angel Squidgies Bells, Kaisercraft (sentiment).

Die: MFT Peekaboo Window
