Today is the last blog post I will be doing as part of the Pinspirational Challenges Design Team :( *sobs* But the future challenges on the Challenge Blog are in the most awesome capable hands of Deanne and the rest of the Design Team, so I wish them all the best for the future! :) Thank you Deanne for being a great Team Leader and giving me the opportunity to be on the team in the first place!

Here is my creation:

 

 

 Craft Supplies used:

- Crafts-Too You Small Hearts Embossing Folder

- Sizzix Small Dots Embossing Folder

- Forever Friends Black and Gold Petal Pattern Embossing Folder

- Yellow, Green and Pink Twine from American Crafts

- Lawn Fawn - My Cup of Tea Stamp Set

- Crate Paper - Paper Heart Collection

- Papermania 3 x 3 White Blank Cards

- Momento Black Tuxedo Ink

- X-Cut Corner rounder punch

- 3D foam dots

I had a bit of a mishap with the printer, so instead I had to use this stamp set for this card set. From the Pins image I've taken the cup of black tea (it could be coffee as well!) 

I embossed each card with a random embossing folder (from the three above) and used paper from the Paper Heart collection from Crate Paper and trimmed these to size for the 3 x 3 cards. These were then rounded off with the X-Cut corner rounder punch and twine was tied around the paper. These were then stuck on the embossed card with 3D foam dots. I then stamped a few random images from the My Cup of Tea by Lawn Fawn on some white card stock, and then these were trimmed down and attached with 3D foam dots. So there you are, the end results are of the cards above. All very cute and all very different!

So I hope you've all enjoyed this make, please check out the awesome DT creations on the blog and get everyone to join in on this week's challenge.

Challenge starts today Tuesday 16th April and ends Monday 22nd April, Midnight Newfoundland Time.

Thanks to all those who have commented, left comments on my blog for any of the challenges for the Pinspirational Blogs, please continue to support this great challenge blog and give great love to the current Design Team! :) <3 xx

Let's Play Bingo @ Aud Sentiments!

If you love Creative Crafty Bingo, well Aud Sentiments is where you need to be this fortnight for the start of our challenge!

Here's the Bingo board this fortnight, all you have to do is pick a horizontal, diagonal or vertical line and then you need to include the three things in that line. So for example, if you choose the bottom horizontal line you would have Flowers, Ribbon and the word LOVE on your project.

This fortnight we are sponsored by: Robyn's Fetish

Here's a bit about them:

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib.  
Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

The prize for the winner is 5 stamps of their choice!

Here's my creation:

I selected the middle horizontal row - 'Happy', 'Embossing' and 'Charm'

I created this tag using caramel linen cardstock - one of my fave cardstock bases at the moment - I use it all the time now! I used a doily lace punch from Fiskars for the edge of the tag and embossed the card using 'Floral Fantasy' embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I used a pink cardstock for layering and then using papers from the Papermania Capsule Collection and Glitz Pretty in Pink 6 x 6 paper pad. I coloured in one of our sponsor images and embellished it with two satin red roses. I added a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment and a charm attached on the end of the tag. The main charm is made with a Tim Holtz word charm and I added some parcel string to hang or attach the tag to a present or card, to finish the sparkly jewels are from Papermania.

I hope that this has encouraged you to get creative and join in our challenge! Check out the blog and Team A's creations! Don't forget to check out the inspiration next week too with Team B and their great creations too! Get your friends to follow the blog and join in on our fortnightly challenges! Happy Crafting!

Bingo! Aud Sentiments Challenge 57

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

It's not what you think - when I said Bingo. Unless you're psychic and you can read my mind! Challenge 57 at Aud Sentiments has unleashed our very own 'Bingo' board - but this one has no numbers on it but creative options for you to create your entry with!

Here's our 'Bingo' board:

For this fortnight's challenge you will need to pick a row or column and use the three items to create your project. The sentiment you use for your project must contain the word or phrase in your chosen column or row, but you can add to this if you wish to. So, for exmaple if you choose the column containing: "Happy", Ribbon and Die Cut, then you can use 'Happy Birthday'.

So... I picked the middle column: Flowers, Embossing and 'Thinking of You' and created this card below:

I used pink cardstock as a card base and then used 6 x 6 papers from Prima's Madeline collection. I then embossed a 'ticket' shape that I handcut from red Papermania cardstock with the 'Floral Fantasy' embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I ran this through my Sizziz Texture Boutique.The same process was used for the smaller 'ticket' embossed with a 'Dots' embossing folder from Sizzix. I used some dark pink two-tone 25mm open roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and some small rose buds from my stash. The image used is The Greeting Farm's 'Sweet Anya coloured in with Promarkers: Walnut for hair, Antique Pink for the dress and Rose Pink for the shorts / trousers and hair clip, Oatmeal was used for her face, arms and feet. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Essential Sentiment set.

Our fortnight's challenge is sponsored by: Stamp and Create 

 And the prize is a very lovely $20 gift certificate to use on their website :) How awesome is that?!

So with that in mind and the different combination of creative options, embellishments and sentiments available on our Aud Sentiments Bingo Board, what are you waiting for? Get creating!
