Tiddly Inks challenge 106- Anything but a card.....

Stamp- Everyday Magic clear stamp set.

Coloured with promarkers.

Morning Peeps!!!
its time for a new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and this week its......

Anything but a card...

and yes I did hear your blood curdling screams of anything but a card? whyyyyyyyyyy?!!! but seriously this one is so much fun!!

I went for a candle to console myself on saturday night when my pooter went to pooter heaven!!

I stamped my Everyday Magic stamp onto my Letraset paper, I have the 70mg one,its absolutely perfect for candles because you can colour it right up in the colours you want it to come out as once its all melted in. I made myself a little scene with the stars and added the sentiment on.

Once she was all coloured up I fussy cut as close to her as I fancied and then laid her on the candle, covered her with greaseproof psper snd melted her in with my heat gun ( I also considered melting dead pooter with the heat gun too.......)

So all you need to do to join in with us this week is get out your fav Tiddly Inks images or stamps and make anything but a card .....yes, I did hear you sigh again...he he he he!!!! so here's some idea's from the gorgeous Tiddly Inkers to get you started.

Huge hugs and thank you's for popping in on me, its a very exciting day for me today and I can tell you all about it now!! he he he squeeeeee!!! I have been asked to join the Passion for Promarkers DT!! squeeeeeeee!! I am so excited about it because I do so love my promarkers and colouring away!! I am also so honoured that Denise and Gina emailed me to ask me, it was such an awesome surprise. Thank you ladies xxxxx

Still no heating here...brrrrr so off for a cuppa and snuggle under a blanket with Mo and the furball princess!!!

a little bit of LOTV cuteness today!!

Ok, so I am late in here today!! because I spent oodles of time snuggling this.....

We watched almost all of The Hobbit and need to snuggle some more tonight to finish it off!! and for anyone watching the little guy's red nose page, he is up to a whopping £141.50!! ( and for those of you who fancy donating from across the sea its a bit tricky but can be done easily of you have paypal as you can gift the money to me and I can pay it in for you leaving your name and message for the little guy!!) 

He is so proud of himself and gets so excited when he checks in on it and it has gone up some!! ( he is hoping to raise enough to buy a school for the children in Africa...!!)

and my craft desk looked like this........

and now my thumb looks like this....

ooooucchhhhh!!! yup, my thumb did an awesome job of finding my pokey tool in the pile of mess (...there is a lesson to be learned here but I know all my crafty friends will be rolling their eyes, shaking their heads and saying to themselves...yeah right like you are going to keep your desk tidy Lou!!!!)

Finally onto my card!! lol!!! lots of babies are arriving so I have been busy getting myself ready with a few cards and this is one I made over the weekend, isn't he a cutie? I love this stamp (......and every other LOTV stamp come to think of it!! he he he!!) 

Right, I need to go mooch with a cup of tea, my thumb is kinda pulsing with pain!!! lol!!!

Have an awesome day and thank you for popping in on me

Lets get Lovey dovey!!!

Stamp- TGF Lovey Dovey .

Papers-Basic Grey Lucille.

Die-Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily.

Morning Peeps!!!

Its my turn to post over on the DTDF Inspiration blog today and I just had to get my TGF thang on this weekend!! I absolutely adore them and they are so nice to colour up.

I did some paper piecing on this one because the Basic Grey Lucille 6x6 pad is just way to delicious to put away once you get it out so I kept finding myself excuses to squeeze a little more of it onto my card!! he he he!!!

I also had to add a few pale peach pearls, I love these!! A little glossy accents is just perfect for sticking them down too as it dries so quickly!

I hope you all had a fabulous mothers day, I know I did. A gorgeous little guy bought me tea and toast on a tray for breakfast with a gorgeous card and some awesome socks for my present. 

We went out for lunch with my mum and dad and Mo made us the most delicious tomato soup for our tea.

If you have a slow cooker get your little peeps to make some too, it was so lovely to watch him just working his way through all the ingredients in his annabel karmel cookbook and plopping them into the slow cooker all on his own ( man I love that little squidger so much) 

what a serious cooking face!! lol!!!

Right well I need to get myself moving,I need to have a cuppa and some snugglies with the little guy then once I have dropped him off at school and walked the furball princes I am off on a walk with some grumbly doggies with my friend Fern to hopefully help them to be less grumbly!! 

Have an awesome monday everyone!!

CAS mothers day giftcard...

Image- Wishes and Kisses from Funky Hand.

Papers- I Heart You from Funky Hand.

Morning Peeps!!

Hope you all have a super saturday!! I have puppy school with the furball princess and that's about all for today!! 

Our mum's are getting giftcards for mothers day this year so they can choosey themselves something they fancy and I wanted a nice way to present them so I cut some cardstock at 4x8 inches, folded it in half and made a couple of mini cards to put their giftcards in.

It was super quick and easy because I used my Wishes and Kisses papercraft factory for the digi stamp and sentiment and a sheet of the yellow grid paper from the I Heart you download ( linkies at the top under my photo!!) I popped my image down onto some kraft card and punched the bottom with my martha punch and then added a little twine and a bow and it was done!! I popped it up on some foam to give it a little dimension.

so that's me for today!! have an awesome day!

The tea is on me!!!

Morning Peeps!! 

I have a super exciting sneaky peeky at a couple of the new releases coming to Funky Hand soon!! My gorgeous Funkette buddies and I have been busy creating some gorgeous makes for you all and Da Boss said I could share one of mine with you all today!!

So the fabulous mug is called 'The tea is on me' and is one of 4 gorgeous little digi stamp mugs that our Anice has designed herself and I love them! and the papers are from the new ' I love you sew' paper download (squeee! so excited about these papers because they are gorgeous!! just wait and see what the funkettes have been doing with them!)

I decided to make a simple little tea bag gift card because it just seemed like such a fun thing to make!! I like a bit of novelty!!

How did I make the card???!

1. cut an A4 piece of white card in half longways and then score it at 5 4/8" and 10 7/8". That sounds so confusing doesn't it!!! so lets take a peeky at how I did that...yup you guessed it! trusty score pal!!....

move your cardstock over to the left so that it is level with the 1/8 increment on the top of your scorpal (that's the first little line along the top in Lou language!!)

2. Score at 5 1/2" and 11 1/2". This will give you a little lip to turn over to close the card.

3. Punch 2 holes in the top for threading your twine (squeeee! yes Bakers Twine is available at Funky Hand!!!) through.

4. cut your design papers and decorate away!! I made a pocket for the teabag inside and attached a little punched heart with twine to the teabag by sewing it through. On the front I matted up the design papers, added a punched border and then my gorgeous mug of tea!

I love these mugs, they are so cute and the sentiments on them are great!

OOOOOh and while I remember, don't forget to share your Funky Hand makes with us!! You can share them over on the Get Funky and Craft blog using our linky tool or over on our Funky Hand Facebook page.

So its just me,Mo and Poppy this morning as our breakfast buddy is not coming today so we have had a lazy morning so far! We treated ourselves to spaghetti hoops on toast for breakfast and Mo is still in his pj's and vegging out a bit. Then today I have a squidge of ironing to do and some cards to get made so its going to be a lovely day I think.

Thank you for popping in on me, have an awesome day!

Tiddly Inks challenge 105- CAS.....

Stamp- mini and many friends clear stamp set.

Sentiment- keen as mustard stamp set from Give a girl a blog.

Morning Peeps!!

Its that tiddlying time of week again :) which means its time for a new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and this week its....

Clean And Simple

yes, its that little old chesnut of a challenge that sends a ripple of fear through most cardmakers thoughts!!! mwah ha ha ha haaaaa!!!!!! and please remember......

you must use a Tiddly Inks image or stamp on your creation!!

and there's a super cute new wryn in the shop too.....

Squeeeee!! how awesome is she?!!!!...and she is of course linked to the shop just to help you all to find her!!

I went straight back to Mini and friends for this one because the little guy on there reminds me so much of my little Mo. 

This card is teeny weeny, another 4x4 one and a good bit of rummaging through my scraps box I had papers and a card but oh my....CAS.......sigh!!!

I really had to make myself be CAS so I coloured in my little guy and pooch and then fussy cut them out. I cut my stripey paper and then punched a little heart out at the bottom in the centre,scruffied up the edges and then mounted it onto the card on foam to pop it out a bit. Then I stuck my little guy and pooch on either side of the heart and stamped my sentiment up at the top.

So,don't forget to pop in on my gorgeous teamies, there are some absolutely stunning cards you won't want to miss out on seeing!!

I am having a crafty day today.... I hope!! I am on breakfast buddy duty, then walking the popster to heel after school ( oh my! this in itself is a job but it is going to be so worth it just by me persevering...it is you know...it really is.......romfl!!!!) bless her, she is actually doing really well so I shouldn't complain but I have to say I can't wait until we are back on our long wombles along the viking way once she has got it down to a tee!!!

Have an awesome day everyone, 

huge hugs Lou xxxx
