Corner Garden

Ooops I had forgotten to schedule any blog posts!!

Anyway here is my most recent make - a couple of cards for the latest challenge on the Fiskarettes UK Facebook page.  The challenge was to make something floral.

I used a new stamp that I got with my last order from Stampin' Up - Corner Garden and coloured it with Promarkers.

 The sentiment is from Penny Black T for Transparent set 'Heartfelt Thanks'

And as usual I couldn't resist a bit of fussy cutting with my Fiskars softgrip scissors, so I stamped out some extra flowers and layered them over the top.  I gave the flower centres a bit of sparkle with some Stardust Stickles.

A Monster Thank you to our Favourite Band!!

After the fabulous weekend that we spent at the Marillion convention in Wolverhampton, we wanted to say thank you to not only the band but all the other people at Racket Records that make the weekends such fantastic events.

I had the perfect digi-stamps from DigiStamp Boutique - Music Monsters and paired them with DCWV Rock Star paper.

I used a pre-cut and scored stepper card and used a See D stamp for the greeting, cutting it out with a deckle edged nestability die.  The stars were embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and then cut out from metallic cardstock.

I coloured all the musicians with Promarkers.

I do hope it made them smile!!

Party King

I was a really lucky girl last month to win a new release stamp from Penny Black on their Facebook page and I was thrilled to find that I had won Party King which was on my wish list from that release.

I couldn't wait to get it inky and make some cards -

 

The sentiments are a mixture of a Pink Petticoat printable, Hero Arts and Do Crafts.  I got the bling stars from a Poundshop.

I coloured the images with Promarkers - Almond, Pale Pink, Ice Grey 2, Cool Grey 4, Bluebell, China Blue, Apple, Leaf Green, Heatwave, Green Shoot, Turquoise, Orange, Pastel Beige and Pastel Blue.

 

Thank you Penny Black for your generosity xx   I will definitely be making lots more cards with this stamp x

Cute bear cards

The May Penny Black Saturday Challenge is Anything Goes, so a lovely easy one.

I used a new to me stamp featuring some very cute teddy bears.

The sentiments are from Pink Petticoat and the papers are magazine freebies.  The mats are Spellbinder nestabilities and the sentiments were punched with SU punches.

The Promarkers used are - Vanilla, Blush, March Hare, Tan and Pastel Pink for the bears and Capri Blue, Peony, Pink Lobster and Mint Green.  The shadow effect is Powder Blue and the ground is Pastel Beige.  I used a white gel pen for the polka dots.

Promarker storage - Blogtoberfest #27

I promised in this blog post to look in more detail at my Promarker storage.  It has taken me a while to find something that works for me - it needed to be something very portable but also not taking up a lot of room.  I also wanted to be able to find the colour I wanted quickly and easily without having to rummage around in a box.

I wanted to use this Amy Butler table top bag that I had got at a retreat and I found these vanity case compartments at Muji - three of them fit the bag perfectly.

The tote has pockets around the outside - perfect for keeping the grey sets and the limited edition seasonal sets

I have colour coded the tops and found glossy accents is perfect to stick the coloured in label.  I got a promarker colour chart from Passion for Promarkers, I have had to add the limited edition colours round the edge - hopefully there will be a new chart soon that includes the four extra sets.  As you can see I have plenty of room to expand my Promarker collection!!!
