Digi Choosday - Halloween Party - Halloween Party Sign | Door Hanger - Creepy Creatures Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week...Almost at the end of October my goodness the year is speeding by and only. few more days until Halloween.

We won't be here in Spain this year to celebrate as we will be in Japan for several weeks, touring the country and I'm not even sure if Halloween is celebrated there or not - I'll let you know !

It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. 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 by Nikky was to create something else for a Halloween Party,  so I thought what else do you need for a party ?  Hmm a party sign or door hanger of course.

I love a bit of recycling (and its free !) so for my sign today I started out with a rectangle of packaging card, it's the sort that has a corrugated centre.  I carefully removed small sections of the top paper layer to expose the corrugated areas and then used black gesso to cover both sides of the card.

Next I chose some papers from the Creepy Creatures collection and tore the edges roughly before adding these to the black base card.

I decided to add some small strips of gauze too between some of the paper layers for a bit of texture.  I used my Crop-A-Dile punch to add a couple of brass grommets and then tied some purple twine through these.

I added a few pieces of washi tape and some die cut black card splats next.

The Halloween letters were die cut from gold glitter card and foam and layered onto the sign in a wonky fashion. 

Next I printed out a couple of the pumpkins from the ephemera pack and one of the sentiments and fussy cut these out, adding them to the sign along with glossy accents on the pumpkin eyes.

Finishing touches were splatters of black Wink of Stella pen and black sparkly gems.

I think this would be perfect for hanging up at a spooky Halloween party !

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 !

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #859 - Birthday - Have a Bee-autiful birthday - Sponsored by Dies to Die for

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all I hope that you are having a lovely week so far!

I can't quite believe its almost the middle of October - Why does time seem to get faster as we get older...I've never really understood the concept.

We are now busy in the last few days before we head off on our tour of Japan but I wanted to make sure I had my card ready for the current challenge which has just started over on the Passion for Markers Blog.  Fingers crossed technology works and this posts ok LOL.

I do hope that you will join in the challenge !

This week our challenge is being sponsored by Dies to Die For and the theme chosen by Elaine for team 2 is Birthday, we always need more birthday cards don't we so this must be an easy one for you all.

For my gorgeous little birthday card today I chose to use a sweet little bee gnome digital stamp by Polkadoodles from the Buzzy Bee collection.

This is Buddies and just look at that sweet little Gnome Fairy with her little bee friend, doesn't she look happy.

I resized the digital stamp for a smaller A6 card size, along with a sweet sentiment from the collection before printing out and colouring with my promarkers.  Both the image and the sentiment were then fussy cut out by hand.

I chose some of the pretty papers from the Buzzy Bee collection, printing these out and then cutting out with a stitched hexagon die for my background.  First I used a honeycomb stencil with yellow distress ink , stencilling directly onto the white card blank.  Next I used some gold metallic paint, splattering across the background and then adhered the little hexagons onto the dried panel.  The little Bee Gnome Fairy was adhered to the card using foam tape for dimension and then a small grass border was die-cut from the collection and adhered at the bottom of the card.

The sentiment was added at the bottom and then the card was finished off with gold confetti, clear sparkle to the wings of the gnome and bee and glossy accents on the flowers.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my sweet birthday 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 

You could win a prize.

Hasta luego 👋 


Enjoy the rest of your day !

Autumn and Fall Card & Crafting Ideas - New Release - Winnie Autumn Wishes collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Thursday everyone... I hope that you are having a great week.

I'm so happy that the weather has finally cooled off, still lots of lovely sunshine, a little bit of rain and definitely cooler mornings and I've even had to put a jumper on today LOL.

We've still not made the move to a duvet on the bed yet though and had the window open too all night but I'm sure to won't be long.

We had lunch on Tuesday with our friends from Glasgow and then on Wednesday with friends from the village which was lovely to catch up as always but with all the increasing cases of Covid and flu around we tried to keep isolated (no hugs and Kisses) as were trying hard to keep well and Covid / Flu free before our trip to Japan.

I'm not quite ready for Halloween yet so decided to create another Autumn card using the new release from Polkadoodles called Winnie Autumn Wishes.  I have to say its gorgeous !.

Winnie Autumn Wishes – is a fabulous original collection of cute Digital Stamps, Clipart & Card Making Printables including Autumn/Fall digital stamps, pre-coloured clipart, printable papers, greetings and ephemera.

The collection is perfect for card making, colouring/colouring, junk journals, printable stationery, scrapbooking and digital scrapbooking. Colour the black and white digi stamps with Copics, Spectrum Noir or Ohuhu/alcohol markers, Prismacolor pencils and watercolour/watercolour pencils, or choose the ready-to-use coloured clipart and pre-coloured images. 

The high-resolution 300 dpi PNG files are easy to print, resize and use in your favourite projects, with transparent backgrounds where applicable. Look out for SVG and cutting files for Cricut, Brother Scan N Cut and Silhouette Cameo too. Create beautiful handmade cards, colouring pages, junk journals, planners, printed stationery, and digi scrapbooking projects with original, unique Polkadoodles artwork designed to mix and match throughout the collection.

There's loads of inspiration for you to see in the Inspiration Gallery on the Polkadoodles Website.

I've been really enjoying using the pre-coloured images for a change so I have carried on with this collection.  My next project today is a stunning little z-Fold card using the pre-coloured image Posting Happy Mail Who doesn't love getting some Happy Post just because and the sentiment I have used was perfect for those just because times too.

I started off with an A7 or 5" x 7" Kraft card blank adding a simple fold in the centre of the front panel, matting and layering teal card and papers from the collection onto the panels of the card.

Next I resized the pre-coloured image of Winnie Crafting to suite the card size adding the sentiment into the top corner of the panel before printing out.  I have die cut a panel of the teal card with a stitched edged die measuring 4" x 5 1/4" and then the image panel is slightly less than that, using the next die down in the set.  Before adhering the image to the teal card I carefully blended a little blue and pale grey distress ink over the background.

I created a similar panel for the inside of the card, using one of the Polkadoodles stencils to add a little leafy detail around the edge and matting this with teal and rust card.

I decided to embellish the card  little more adding die cut leaves from the teal and rust card and fussy cutting some of the little embellishments from the ephemera set, layering these on to the card with glue and foam to create different dimension.

The little tag was attached to the front of the card using a sparkly orange brad.

To finish off my card today I've added a little orange sparkle to the leaf of the little envelope in the sentiment and coloured in the hearts with a fine liner pen.

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 sweet like pumpkin pie - Autumn is Here - Fluffy Friends Cute Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far and that the weather is being kind to you.  

It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. 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 by Nikky was Autumn is Here !. I'm not quite ready for Autumn yet but I am definitely longing for the cooler days and nights.

For my Autumn card today I decided to use one of the sweet images from the recent Fluffy Friends collection.

It's a simple A7 card base using a couple of more autumnal papers from the collection and layers of a rusty coloured card stock for the matt layer and the arch behind the fluffy friends

I have used the very sweet Monty bear and Rusty fox digital stamp colouring with promarkers to match the pretty papers and fussy cutting out by hand

I decided to add a couple of mushrooms from the Spring is Here SVG, adding a little brown distress ink to these for shading and a also a large blue butterfly from one of the papers in the collection.  I think the mushrooms give the card the autumnal feel along with Rusty fox and the coordinating rust coloured card.
 

The sentiment has been taken from the Freddy Fox collection and I added a little cross stitched border for a little texture.

Finishing touches were a few coffee coloured pieces of confetti and some white gelly roll pen highlights around the design.

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

Autumn and Fall Card Making Ideas - New Release - You Make the world a Better Place - Hello Autumn collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Monday  everyone... I hope that you have had a great weekend.   

After a few slightly cooler days the temperature has ramped up again and it's really humid too which isn't helping.  I am now longing to see a little rain and cooler nights too.

I'm super excited to share another card today using the brand new digital release by Polkadoodles called Hello Autumn.

The Hello Autumn Collection is a cute and whimsical mix of Autumn and Halloween digital craft supplies featuring adorable woodland animals, pumpkins, witches, ghosts and spooky seasonal fun. Perfect for card making, scrapbooking, Cricut and ScanNCut projects, paper crafts and printable crafts, the collection includes digital stamps, pre-coloured clipart, printable papers, scene backgrounds, toppers and 160 greetings and sentiments. 


From cosy Autumn / Fall makes to cute Halloween cards, Hello Autumn is packed with everything you need for creative seasonal crafting.

This is the most adorable Hedgehog Sunflowers and what a huge bouquet of flowers he is carrying.  I love sunflowers, they are such happy flowers and bring a smile to everyone face.  They were one of my mums favourite flowers too !

Once again I have the pre-coloured image from the collection, partly because using my promarkers in the heat we have been experiencing has been a nightmare but also because I know that a lot of my crafty friends love using the pre-coloured digital images...they are perfectly coloured by Nikky too !

My card is a beautiful 6" x 6" Upright Easel card, made from a Kraft card base and layered with pretty autumn papers from the collection.

The main hedgehog image was printed out a couple of times so I could fussy cut out the bouquet to add on top of the image and I have blended a little warm yellow distress ink over the edges of the image panel to tone down the whiteness of the card.

The coloured sentiment was printed and added to a panel of Kraft card and then this adhered to the centre of a strip of card and paper to act as the easel stopper. I decided to embellish the card with die cut Kraft card flourishes and little gold vellum flowers.

To finish off my card today I've added clear sparkle pen over the bouquet of flowers and coffee coloured confetti around the design.


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

Digi Choosday - Udderly Glad we're Friends - Double Z Fold - Friendship - Udderley Cute Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far and that the weather is being kind to you.  The start of September and here's hoping some cooler days and maybe a little rain too.

this year has definitely been a hot one and the garden is crying out for a little relief from the high Summer temperatures.

It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. 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 by Nikky was Friendship and I'm I've decided that I'm going to send this card to my best friend in the UK as I miss seeing her so much. 

My Friendship card today features the absolutely gorgeous Udderly Cute Collection. 

I started by creating an A7 Fold card base and then cut a second smaller Z-fold card from chocolate brown card.

The Kraft card base was scored at 2 1/2" on the front panel, folded back on itself and burnished.

For the smaller card that has the main image I cut a piece of card measuring 10" x 5" scoring this at 2" and 4" again, folding and burnishing. The smaller card will be adhered onto the base card after decorating the panels with patterned papers.

I chose a wood grain paper from the collection and the pretty paper with lots of presents and hearts to mat onto the crd base with chocolate brown panels.

I have used the very sweet Gift and Balloons digital stamp, adding one of the sentiments over the top of the image, before printing out and colouring with promarkers to match the pretty papers.

Then main coloured image was adhered to the front panel of the card.

I decided to print out one of the ephemera sheets from the collection, fussy cutting out a couple of the daisy flowers, a label and a little heart, adding these to the design along with a few little die cut hearts and gems and white gelly roll pen highlights.

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

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #853 - Faux or Real stitching - Autumn Birthday Wishes - Sponsored by Dis Digital Stamps

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all I hope that you are having a lovely week so far!

Oh it's been a lovely few days with lovely sunshine in the day, cooler nights and refreshingly cool mornings....a little hotter this week but I can cope with that. LOL

I'm here today to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog.

This week our challenge is being sponsored by DisDigiStamps and the theme chosen by Kitty for team 2 is Faux or Real Stitching.

I quite often like to use dies that give a stitched edge as I love the texture they add to a design and I also love stamping stitches too so for my card today I decided to combine the two.

For my Autumnal birthday card I chose a sweet little image of a Squirrel carrying a huge acorn - this is Sammy's Surprise and its was a freebie that Di very kindly gave to her Facebook group members.

The image was coloured with a my promarkers and then I fussy cut him out adding foam tape to the back for dimension.

Next I create the background for the design, using an A2 ivory card blank and adding a layer of wood grain papers onto the front of the card.  I stamped a stitched border onto this in brown and then used a stitched edge die to cut a layer of leafy paper, adhering this on an angle.  Then I used a smaller stitched edge die to cut a second layer of woodgrain paper, adding a stamped stitched border to this before adhering to the base card agin on an angle.  The sentiment was cut as a wedge shape and I used the same stitched edge to add detail before inking with yellow and then orange distress ink.

Finally I added the sentiment and Sammy to the card.

The design was finished off with coffee coloured confetti, glossy accents to Sammy's nose, white gelly pen highlights and some little fussy cut out leaves from the leafy paper.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card packed with flowers 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 👋

Hello card Ideas - Little Ballerinas - Just a Little Note to say Hi - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Friday - I hope that you have had a lovely week and something nice planned for the weekend.

We've had such a busy week again, walking with friends on Monday and then shopping  on Wednesday down on the coast for furniture for our new terrace upstairs.  Hopefully its going to be delivered next week so JJ is busy finishing off the pergola roof and making a cabinet for the fridge to go it.  It going to be lovely place to sit in the evenings.  I also went to my very relaxing yoga class this morning so I'm now feeling very chilled and looking forward to our Friday night Date Night in town.

The weather has finally started to cool down thankfully so sleeping it definitely getting easier and we will soon be able to get some tidying done in the garden too.  Lots of the plants are looking very tired indeed so I'm hoping we will get some rain soon too to revive them.

The cooler days will also mean I can start colouring with my promarkers again - they definitely do not like the heat at all.

  

I'm back today to share a sweet little hello card using one of the digital stamps from the recent little Ballerinas release by Lili of the Valley (LOTV) available from the Etsy shop. The collection includes 9 gorgeous little images that come in black and white line art for you to colour and they are also available recoloured too if you prefer.

My little hello card today features the Little Ballerina Shy digital stamp coloured with my promarkers and then fussy cut out by hand.  

I adhered a layer of co-ordinating plain paper and an embossed panel of purple card at the top, keeping the background simple so the sweet little girl is the focal point of the card.  I sanded back the embossed area and added a touch of pink distress ink to show the embossed detail.

Finishing touches of white gel pen highlights, clear sparkle on the ballerinas dress and the sweetest little hello sentiment.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)






Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Halloween Card Making Ideas - New Release - Bad to the Bone - Hello Autumn collection with Polkadoodles

Hello and happy Friday  everyone... I hope that you have had a great week and are enjoying the weather.

We've finally had a few slightly cooler days which I have to say is a relief - even sleeping at night has been a little easier so Im hoping it lasts.

I'm super excited to share my first card today using the brand new digital release by Polkadoodles called Hello Autumn.

The Hello Autumn Collection is a cute and whimsical mix of Autumn and Halloween digital craft supplies featuring adorable woodland animals, pumpkins, witches, ghosts and spooky seasonal fun. Perfect for card making, scrapbooking, Cricut and ScanNCut projects, paper crafts and printable crafts, the collection includes digital stamps, pre-coloured clipart, printable papers, scene backgrounds, toppers and 160 greetings and sentiments.


From cosy Autumn makes to cute Halloween cards, Hello Autumn is packed with everything you need for creative seasonal crafting.

Here is my first card using the collection - This is the cute Bear & Mouse in a Pumpkin Car and as soon as I saw this digital stamp I had the music Bad to the Bone running through my head - If you don't know it then google it and I apologise in advance for passing not he ear worm.  LOL

I made a decision for this new collection to use the pre-coloured images in the collection, partly because using my promarkers in the heat we have been experiencing has been a nightmare but also because I know that a lot of my crafty friends love using the pre-coloured digital images...they are perfectly coloured by Nikky too !

I die cut a shaped card from Kraft as I think this is the perfect colour of card with the entire collection and then chose a couple of the patterned papers to layer onto this card base.

I know we are all thinking of postage costs these days so I've kept the layers simple, to cut down on the weight of the finished card.

The main image was resized in Canva and then printed out a couple of times as I wanted to layer up the wheels and the furry dice.

Going with the theme of Bad to the Bone, I can imagine these two cuties driving around the town causing mayhem with their pumpkin Chopper so I decided to add a pennant style Boo banner at the back of the Chopper.  I cut the sentiment from the multi sentiment download and fastened this to a small piece of Kraft card with some gem stone brads for that touch of the biker feel.

It's a simple wooden skewer, coloured with a black brush marker and then attached to the cutout Boo banner

To finish off my card today I've added glossy accents to the pumpkin wheel caps, mouses goggles and the furry dice and scattered gold confetti around the design.

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

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - Magic is something you make - Book Cover - Magical Fantasy - Serenity Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far and that the weather is being kind to you.  The Middle of august already and its definitely a hot year LOL

It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. 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 by Nikky was Magical Fantasy Autumn.  

As a rule I'm a card maker, it's what I love doing to relax and keep my brain busy but I have so many cards, more than I could ever send so I wanted to create something different.

I was inspired by a lovely crafty friend and her recent projects to create myself a little art/card book and as I love all things magical I thought this would be the perfect theme for my project today and chose to use the Serenity collection.

I treated myself a few weeks ago to a disc binding punch and a few sets of discs and then began by creating the front and back covers for my little book.

    The floral papers used for the reverse of my book covers were from the Octavia Moonfly collection

I printed out the Serenity Fairy Princess digital stamp onto alcohol friendly card stock along with a couple of the sentiments from the collection, colouring her in and fussy cutting out.

My next step was to use the disc punch to create the holes in the panels ready to add the binding discs later on.

I added some pink distress ink around the edges of the panel and a little stencilling with cream acrylic paint for texture.

I then used a couple of extra papers, cutting these out and layering onto the front panel before adding the fussy cut Serenity fairy onto the cover with foam tape.

To finish off my book cover today I've added white gelly roll pen highlights, lots of sparkle, a torn strip of washi tape,  a little strip of grosgrain ribbon and scattered lottos of sparkly gems around the design as I always love a little sparkle, finally adding the discs to join the front and back covers of my book.

I'm really please with my little art book and I'm looking forward to filling it with lots of lovely pages of inspiration.

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 !
