Die Cut Dreams - card with number on

Morning all!

It's time for another challenge at Die Cut Dreams and this week the theme is numbers. Make a card or project with a number on it. The theme is to honour our beloved DT collegue Nicola who has a rather even birthday today :) .

My card is for her and has hopefully arrived to her by now. The image is a freebie from Mo Manning, coloured with distress inks - mainly victorian velvet and spun sugar.

Allsorts colour combo

This week at Allsorts it's Debs turn to pick the theme and she picked a colour combo of Black, White and 1 other colour of choice.

As this is the last week of the month we are being sponsored by our regular sponsor

OSCC

and one lucky winner will win

This is my take on the colour combo. A pretty silhouette stamp that coordinates well with the backing paper sent to me in a paper swap. A very easy to make item but the warm red makes it rather effectful.


The DT made gorgeous work so please go on over and check it out.

Gift box

Life is hectic for a teacher in May - graduation feels like minutes away (June 11th so a couple of minutes I know, but still...)

But I still have to craft, especially since I got my LOTV stamps in the mail today! I made a gift box for the birthday party my young one is going to on Sunday, big enough to hold the Highschool Musical cardgame she's giving the birthday girl.

Sunday is Mother's Day here in Sweden, but I'm guessing she prefers the birthday party ;)

At least I can enter some challenges with this, I'm so lucky =).

A Spoon full of Sugar - celebration

Creative Card Crew - pink and green

Simon says stamp challenge - pink or blue with green and brown

ABC challenge - V is for vintage

Charizma cards - 3 D

Stamp something - use two of something (the roses obviously hehe)

woyww

Morning all WoywW:ers! Today I'll just show you the desk from another angle. A shelf where I keep ribbons and templates and punches and "stuff", and hopefully in a near future - my mounted stamps :)


And yes, the red bottle on the middle shelf is Body Shop's shower creme. It's used for... wait for it... showering. I told you I had "stuff" in this shelf. My craft room is close to the upstairs bathroom and I keep the cheap shower creme there and this more expensive and lush one in the craft room cause otherwise the wee one would just empty the bottle. I know this, we've been through it :). So I graciously give her a small cup of this now and then.
I'm not cheap, I'm financially aware ;)

Have a lovely day!

Die Cut Dreams - words only

This week at Die Cut Dreams we want you to have words only on your project. Check out the fantastic DT work for inspiration. I made a bookmark using a saying by Charles Edwin that I wrote in Photoshop, printed and distressed with frayed burlap, victorian velvet and shabby shutters.


If you want to use the saying for personal purposes, here it is:


Quixotic has the same theme as we do this week so I'm tossing this in there =).

Allsorts - Tag or Ticket

It is once again a lovely Saturday and it is my turn to host this week's challenge. Last week was fantastic with all the celebrations for our 1 year anniversary. Thank you ladies! Make sure you pop over to the Allsorts blog to see if you are one of the many winners. The winner of my celebration candy is: nr 87 Beth's Little Card Blog. Please send me a mail with your address hun.

This week the theme is Tag or Ticket. Create a tag/ticket or attach one to your project. I'm hoping for lots of lovely and inspirational work to visit.We are continuing the celebrations slightly - why settle with one week only ;) - and this week we have not one but two sponsors!

Digital Delights is a magical place run by the talented Wendy. It is filled with little digi creations from all walks of life. They have a wide range of digital stamps which are delivered straight to your email 24/7! Digital delights are offering this to one winner:

And Vikki (vikkithescrapjunkie) who you might know from blogland has started her own shop with pins and charms that are so lush and gorgeous it's a priviledge to be able to offer not one but FIVE sets to one lucky winner.

I made a heart shaped box for the occasion. Used a heart shape from photoshop, printed and covered with TH designer paper. Ticket is computer generated, flowers from Wild Orchid.

Stampin for the Weekend - post pals

This fortnight we are making cards for a very good cause. The theme is to bring a smile to someone and the DT team has had post pal kids in mind when creating the card. Please read more about this on the Stampin for the Weekend page.

I will send my card to a little boy named Lewis. I used a digi image from the Digistamp boutique and some MS punches.

Free digi

This is my second post today, please scroll down for my DT work for Die Cut Dreams - lace.

I got this free digi image from Frideborg, isn't it fantastic?! Backing paper and circles are from a free download from Polka doodles (theme this week is to use those on a project with dimension and texture) and the sketch is from Truly Scrumptious. So basically this card cost me two rosebuds and a bow ;). I lifted the image with glue to get dimension and used pearl maker for texture.
