A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #826 - Spring Flowers - Sponsored by Uniko Stamps

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day - it feels like ages since I've updated my blog, this last few weeks have been awful with my labyrinthitis so no crafting, no reading and definitely no work on the computer.  Things are improving and my new hearing aid is helping with the tinnitus but I'm still struggling to look down for very long.... fingers crossed it stops soon

Anyway - Spring is in the air and the sun is shining so that's definitely a positive - it just makes everyone feel so much better after all the horrid winds and heavy rainfall we've had.

Today I'm here to let you know that there's a new week long challenge on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge and I hope that you will join in as there is a prize up for grabs.

This week we are being sponsored by Uniko Stamps and our theme is very simple - Spring Flowers and is being hosted by Me for Team 2.

As Spring flowers are popping up around the garden I decided today to use stamps from Lili Of The Valley LOTV  I used the Flower Alphabet set for the word Spring and then for the smaller Wishes the Everyday Greetings set, colouring these with my Promarkers before cutting out on my ScanNCut.

I created a split DL card, using pretty Spring floral paper for the design and adhering the large letters across the gap in the panel.

The finishing touches were some sparkly flower sequins and glossy accents to some of the little flowers.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

I hope that you join in with the challenge as don't forget there is a prize from the sponsor for our lucky winner!

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - Just Thinking about you - Mothers Day Card - Udderly Cute Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is  to make a Mothers Day card following this colour palette.

I don't really make Mothers Day cards, I prefer to make a thinking of you card instead as it' can be a difficult time for lots of people - I like to create a card that I think my mum would have loved to receive .

When I saw the colour palette I immediately thought of the the brand new Udderly Cute Collection  and specifically the ephemera.

The card is a simple smaller A6 card with a layer of pretty floral paper from the collection in the background.

I die cut an arched panel and a circular panel from grey and white cardstock, stamping the sentiment onto the circular panel 

I challenged myself this year to start using my Scan n Cut machine rather than fussy cutting by hand and the ephemera sheets were so easy to cut on the machine.

I chose one of the ephemera sheets cutting out the elements and then layered these onto my card some flat and some adhered with foam tape.

To finish off the card I added lovely sparkle to the macaron and the hearts and a scattering of sparkly pink sequins.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - You're My Favourite Person - Valentines Card - Udderly Cute Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week - February is already here and its definitely time to think about sending Love and Valentines Day.

Do you send Valentines cards ?  We don't send them to each other really anymore but we always try to have a special day to celebrate and mark the occasion.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is  Valentines and to use Red Pink Black and white so I thought the brand new Udderly Cute Collection would be prefect for this.

The card fold is a simple Pop Out Gatefold as I wanted to really show off the cute cow pattern papers and also use some of the fabulous ephemera  from the collection.

The folded card fits into a 5" x 7" or A7 envelope.  Using a deep cherry red card I cut a piece measuring 10" x 7" and then along the long edge of the card, scored at 2 1/2" & 7 1/2" on one side and then one the other side at 4 1/12" & 5 1/2".  This will give the perfect valley and mountain folds for the card.

The card was layered with cow papers on the inside and then a pretty polka dot  paper on the outside so the recipient gets a surprise when they open it.

I'm really proud of myself as over Christmas I challenged myself to start using my Scan n Cut machine more this year rather than fussy cutting  by hand and the ephemera sheets were so easy to cut on the machine - as well as being addicted to cows - I'm now in love with my Scan n Cut again ! So with my new found love I've used lots of the ephemera to adorn the card.

The image is Just For Moo, coloured with promarkers and layered onto die cut hearts.

To finish the card I added lovely sparkle inside and out and a touch of glossy accents to the little heart on the envelope.  

I wish you could see the sparkle as its so pretty but photos don't do it justice.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
