Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog - Guest Designer - All Occasions - Polkadoodles - Helga Hippo

Hello everyone happy Thursday ... I hope that your week has gone well so far...not long to go now until the weekend.

I'm back again to share my final card as Guest Chick for the month of September for the Krafty Chicks, its gone so fast and I have had loads of fun with these weekly challenges!

Every Thursday there is a new challenge on the Krafty Chicks blog and this week the challenge is All Occasions.

You can check out all the rules over on the blog itself and it would be wonderful if you join in with the fun.

My card today is a 6" x 6" Triple point card using the Helga Hippo collection by Polkadoodles. It's a really lovely and extremely simple card to make and perfect to show off those gorgeous papers.

I started by creating the card base from a standard 6" x 6" card blank, cutting off two sections from the front panel to create a point. Next I have chosen a couple of papers from the collection to matt onto the card base.

I fussy cut the Helga hippo and some cupcakes from the ephemera bundle and then used these to decorate the card base. For a bit of extra bling I foiled the sentiment in teal foil and added teal confetti around the design, along with glitter and some glossy accents to the flowers in her hat.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card for today and will drop by again to see my next project.

Hasta luego 👋

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog - Guest Designer - CAS - Colorado Craft Company - Stay Curious!

Hello everyone happy Thursday ... I hope that your week has gone well so far...not long to go now until the weekend.

I'm back again to share my third card as Guest Chick for the month of September for the Krafty Chicks.

Every Thursday there is a new challenge on the Krafty Chicks blog and this week the challenge is CAS or Clean and Simple.

You can check out all the rules over on the blog itself and it would be wonderful if you join in with the fun.

I really love the CAS style of card but I definitely find it a challenge - knowing when to stop adding things so here is my CAS card project and I hope that you like it!

My card today is a standard white landscape A6 card blank with a simple mat layer of a white card for the design panel.

The image of the cute little dog investigating the plant pot is drawn by Anita Jeram for Colorado Craft Company and its such a sweet image and perfect for a CAS card.

I stamped the image using a brown Versafine Clair ink to give a softer look to the image and then used distress inks to watercolour the image. To add extra depth and details I've used a combination of coloured pencils and a white gelly roll pen.

The sentiment is also part of this little stamp set and also stamped this is brown ink....and that's it, no sparkle and no extras, definitely CAS.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card for today and will drop by again to see my next project.

Hasta luego 👋

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog - Guest Designer - Stamps - Lesia Zgharda - Beach Bunnies don't care about Mondays

Hello everyone happy Thursday ... I hope that your week has gone well so far...not long to go now until the weekend.

I'm super excited today to be joining the Krafty Chicks as Guest Chick for the month of September and today I'm sharing my first card for them.

Every Thursday there is a new challenge on the Krafty Chicks blog and this week the challenge is to use stamps. This can be physical or digital stamps.

You can check out all the rules over on the blog itself and it would be wonderful if you join in with the fun.

So here is my first card project and I hope that you like it!

I treated myself to some super cute new stamps a few weeks back from the amazingly talented Lesia Zgharda and this was the perfect opportunity to use them in my card for toddy. There are some gorgeous stamps in her shop and there is also a sale on currently so I would highly recommend taking a look! The hardest part is deciding what to order. The postage from Ukraine to Spain was perfect too and really quick.

I have used the super cute Bunny Girl on a Swim Ring, stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto a pre-cut card tag. The sweet sentiment is from a small sentiment set Beach bunnies don't care about Mondays.

The image was then coloured using my brand new Polychromos pencils.... oh my goodness I am in love with these pencils and was very lucky to get these for my birthday from my amazing hubby. I have listed the colours used below.

Once the colouring was complete I blended distress ink around the edge of the tag and added a silver eyelet to to top along with some natural twine.

My card today is a standard white. UK A6 card blank. Next I created the card background by die cutting a panel of mint green card stock with a stitched border.
