Here's my card

I have used a House Mouse and coloured the image with promarkers. I have used a sketch by Marlene, which was the SOL sketch. The papers are from My Minds Eye. The decorative strip of paper has been punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I couldn't find a flower to match so I made the flower out of 3 blooms and coloured them with a peach ink.

Spoon Full of Sugar is celebrating it's 1st birthday today and wow there are some great prizes to be had. Too many to mention on this post so you need to pop over to the ASOS challenge blog to see.So the theme is

Celebration

Now I've just got to tell you I'm not at all happy with this card my mojo seems to have taken a holiday. It may be that I've run out of a lot of supplies, I'm going over to the UK in July to stock up so maybe it will come back then?

So I've used a House Mouse image and coloured it with promarkers and copics. I then cut it out and 3D pads to adhere it. The papers are all from a Basic Grey pad called Stella Ruby. The sentiment is a SU stamp and the blooms are from my dwindling stash. I used a Martha Kay punch for the decorated strip.

The other DT members have made some gorgeous cards for the theme. We also have 2 guests for this week. Deb and Marlou have come back to join in the celebration. They have also made gorgeous cards. You can see all the cards and prizes on the ASOS blog here.

A Spoon Full Of Sugar

Touchy, Feely
We would like to see some texture on your card.

Here's my card

(My photos are not very good at the moment as Rob has taken the good camera away with him).
So for this one I used papers from a HOTP textured paper pad. The image is a House Mouse stamp called "The Quick Fix". I coloured it with promarkers and copics I then inked the edges and layered it onto torn vellum , for more texture. The sentiment is computer generated and again inked and layered. I then added the ribbons and buttons.

Here is my card

I've used a Papermania Retro Floral pad for the papers. The bottom strip has been decorated by using two different Martha Stewart punches. The three leaves have been cut out using my Cricut, the bottom one by shadow and the other normally. I also sponged inked them with a brown ink. They have been adhered with 3D pads. The sentiment comes from a clear Hero Arts set. I've stamped it onto white card and sponge inked the edges with a pink ink. I then layered it onto some of the same paper and adhered it with 3D pads. The image is a House Mouse image called Autumn Cruise and I have coloured it with copics and promarkers. I then sponge inked it with a blue ink. The edges have been doodled with a fine black pen.

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge

This week for the challenge on the Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge blog the theme is

Chocolate

Here's mine

I've used a House Mouse image called "Chocolate Truffles". It is a big stamp so I had to cut it down a bit. I've coloured it with copics and promarkers. I stamped and cut out two of the truffles so I could layer them up to make them stand out a bit. I also added diamond glaze to them for a bit of a shine. The sentiment comes from some Kelly Paccinni papers. I then added some fibres.

You can see all the other DT's chocolatey ATCs here.

House Mouse Monday Challenge

This week's theme for the House Mouse Monday challenge blog is "Bags & boxes". Here is mine.

And this is a side view.


I used directions to make the box from the Scor Pal project site.It is the Maria's card box.
For the bottom I used a heavy Basic Grey cardstock from the Lollipop Shoppe range. It's called Double Dip. And for the lid I used a bright blue cardstock and covered the top with some more of the BG. I also used the same cs to make a border around the lid with a Martha Stewart punch. The House Mouse stamp is quite a large stamp and is called "Mice lessons". I've coloured it with copics and promarkers and then layered it onto some more of the blue card. I then added the ribbon, some blooms and gems.

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge

Well the theme for the Tilda & Friends ATC challenge this week is

Spring

This week our theme is 'Spring Time' and you can create anything you like with this theme, as long as it's cute and is the standard size for an ATC. Take a look at the Design Team's work for some inspiration.

Hmmm I don't think Germany knows that yet. We have snow!!! And it's bitterly cold too. Not happy , just getting used to a bit of weak sunshine and then Winter comes along again!!!

Anyway I've made quite a bright ATC this week to make up for our weather, here it is.

I've used a House Mouse image called "Easter Surprise" and coloured it in with copics and promarkers. It has been stamped onto a nesty square and then layered onto a green card. The papers are just scraps from my bit box. The bottom layer has been punched out with a Martha Stewart punch. The blooms and ribbon are from my stash and I made the sentiment with a dymo tape writer.

We have a new GD for this month and that is Hazel. Her blog is here.The DT have made some great Spring ATCs , why not go over and take a look? You can find the Tilda & Friends ATC blog here.

Finding Friendship

Here is the card I sent off for the Digital Stamp Oasis DT, I can now show it. Ellie created a sketch to follow. This is the sketch.


And here is my card


I used a House Mouse Gruffie stamp called "Finding Friendship" and coloured it in with promarkers. The papers are by Basic Grey and are from the Perhaps range. The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called Riveting. Buttons and ribbons are from my stash.

Here is a close up of the image.

House Mouse Monday Challenge

This week's challenge on the House Mouse Monday challenge was to make a shaped card, not rectangle or square. Well anyone who visits my blog regularly will know I only really do the rectangle or square cards, so this was a good challenge for me.
Here is my round card


I've used another of my HOTP cardmaking kits for this one as I coloured the image first and then thought the colours of the papers were ideal. The image was stamped onto a nesty circle and then layered onto a bigger one. The image is called "Grape Dreams" and I've coloured it with promarkers and copics. The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called Riveting and has been stamped onto a circle and then layered onto a scalloped circle. All the scalloped circles have been cut with my Cricut using the Mini Monograms cartridge.

Sketch Saturday

I have used a House Mouse stamp called "Java Jumpers". I've used both copics and promarkers to colour the image. All the papers, ribbon and embellies are from a HOTP kit. The sentiment has been printed out using the computer.

Two Challenges in one.

I managed to make this card for two challenges. House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge asked for some chipboard on your card and Sketch Saturday gave us this sketch.


So here is my card

I've used K&Co wild saffron papers and chipboard for this card. The image is a House Mouse stamp called "Stamp a kiss". The mice have been coloured in with copics and the rest with promarkers. I then just added some co ordinating photo corners and amber gems.

And here is my card (you can click on it to get a better view)


I had a bit of a problem fitting all the elements on as the stamp is so big but I think I pulled it off!!! I've used a great kit from In Style Stamps called an Inspiration Kit. The papers are from Bo Bunny and are from the Sweetie Pie collection.The card is in the kit and is by DCWV. The ribbons and embellies are from the same kit. It really is a great kit.



The sentiment is from Stampin Up and he set is called Riveting.I stamped the sentiment onto a circle and then layered it onto a scalloped circle cut with my Cricut. Now the stamp is one of my brand new ones and is called Bunny Hop. I have coloured it in with promarkers.Just to warn you, you'll be seeing a few House mouse stamps on my blog now.
