Sketch Saturday #54 and Party box Winner!!

Hi folks!!
Lots to share with you today... grab yourself a cuppa and some biccies. First things first, thank you to everyone who entered my Sketch Saturday Birthday Bash Box Candy. It was so much fun to visit you all. The winner is....(drum roll please...)...... Jennifer!! Congratulations Jennifer. Please email me (craftysandra.d@googlemail.com) with your details. Here's Jennifer's winning entry.
It was my turn to choose the Guest DT for weeks 54 and 55. No prizes for guessing who I asked... my good friend, and uber talented, Christine Dark. Her card is absolutely stunning for this weeks sketch. Can't wait to see what she conjours up for next week. The sketch was created by Mandy(*thanks Mandy*) as it's her DT week.
For my card I have used one of my new Kadoodle designs being launched today at The Craft Barn Extravaganza, Lingfield. Christine and I will be there demoing amidst 17 more demontrators (see here for all the details). I have used backing papers by 'three bugs'. The embossed and sanded panel is Co-ordinations whitewash. The corners and sentiment are Quickutz and Cuttlebug dies. The flower brads are by Making Memories and the ribbon was a freebie from a mag. I have coloured the image using my Prismacolor pencils, Sansodor and paper stumps.
Have a great day. Ciao for now!

A card for Grandpa & ' I can't believe I won!'

Hi folks!
Here's my card for this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge.  It's another fabulous sketch by the talented Jo.  Sponsoring us this week is 'Victoria Case Art Design'.  Do hop on over to see the lovely prize and to feast your eyes on the wonderful cards by my fellow DT and of course our fabulous GDT Janneke.  Next week we're celebrating our first Anniversary , we'd love you to join in with the celebrations!
I made this card for my father-in-law from my kiddies.  I have used some leather from the swatch that he gave me once they had finished choosing their new suite.  He is so thoughtful always on the look out for things I may find useful in my card making.  I used a DCWV embossed card which I coloured using chalks and Cosmic Shimmer mist.  I got my needle and thread out hand stitched the rectangle. The Whiff of Joy chair and Magnolia Edwin are coloured using Koi water colour paints.  I finished the card of with some decorative brads and rub on letters from K&Co.
My HUGE news for the day is.......
 

I'm on cloud nine to think that my card was chosen to be the first 'Card of the Month' at Just Magnolia.  I can't thank them enough for choosing it.  I'm so excited to be able to display my new blinkie.  Thank you again!
Ciao for now

It's Saturday and time for another one of Jo's fabulous sketches on Sketch Saturday.  This week we are sponsored by All That Scraps, I wish I could enter there is a smashing prize up for grabs.  Our sparkly new Guest Designer for the next two weeks is Janneke.  Janneke and the rest of the team have come up with beautiful designs to inspire you.
For my card I have used DCWV papers; my Fiskars swirly embossing folder; my Martha Stewart doily border punch; my Nestabilities to cut the circles, rectangles and scallops; my Woodware leaf branch punch; a mixture of Prima flowers and paper roses and finally my Quickutz Phoebe, skinni mini, alphabet for the monograms.  The cute wedding couple are a Hanglar & Stanglar stamp and I have coloured them with distress inks.

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Sketch Saturday #50, Birthday Wishes

Hi folks!
A different sized card than my usual square card today. This one is an A5 card and I made it for my fellow DT Buddy *Wendy* who celebrated a special birthday yesterday.
The sketch is by the talented Jo for The Sketch Saturday Challenge. There is a smashing prize up for grabs. A $25 voucher for Simon Says Stamps could be yours if you are the lucky winner. Don't forget to check out all the fab crafty makes by the Sketch Saturday Design Team.

For my card I have used papers from the huge Cosmo Cricket set from QVC. The stamp is a Penny Black, I have coloured it in with my trusty Koi water colours. I have used a Martha Stewart border punch and the scallop blade for my carl trimmer to create the ornate border. The sentimement is Hot Off The Press. I finished off the card with some paper roses with green ribbon looped and adhered to suggest leaves. The ornate corners are die cut Cuttlebug shapes. You can hardly see them but I squeezed some three dimensional pearl paint onto the teddy's neck lace and the girls buttons.
If you would like to see some more detail to my cards then feel free to click on the picture to enlarge it.

Sketch Saturday #49

Hi folks!
Just nipping on quickly in between horrendously long shifts at work this weekend to share my Sketch Saturday DT card with you.  This week is Debbie's DT week and she has come up with a fabulous sketch.  Our fab new GDT for the next 2 weeks needs no introduction as it is the talented Jacqui whom we all know and love.  If you are craving more inspiration then check out my fellow DT as they have all come up with stunning cards following Debbie's sketch.  There also a prize up for grabs with this weeks challenge, so hop on over to the blog to see what you could win.  When I saw there was a lovely circle on it I new exactly which stamp I was going to ink up...
I wanted to try something a little bit different with this card and I'm sure you have already noticed that I have not used any patterned papers.  I stamped the base card with a swirly stamp using a stamp & stick glue pad ( have had it for ages so am quite surprised that it still works) and sprinkled over some glitter. I used my Nestabilities to cut the circle for the aperture on the next panel.  I also used the Circle Nestie as a template for the rounded edges.  (You can actually see the next step better on the top picture.)  I die cut some small stars.  Glued two together and stuck to the panel (for height) repeated this until I was happy with the number of stars.  Then, using wet glue, I adhered dark blue mulberry paper over the whole aperture panel gently rubbing around the stars with an embossing tool.  I used my latest Martha Stewart punch for the scalloped boarder and Quickutz die for the corners.  The stamped image is one of my favourite Hanglars.  I have coloured him using koi watercolours and glitter for his star.  As you can imagine the whole card glistens a lot more than I have managed to capture in the photo.
Hope you are all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend....have some fun for me!
Ciao for now!

Sketch Saturday #48, an Anniversary card

Hi folks!!
I love this weeks sketch over on Sketch Saturday, such a pleasure to work with. A huge thanks to Jo for giving us such great sketches to use every week. It's the last Saturday of the month and so The Craft Barn are sponsoring us. There are two stamps up for grabs. One of them is 'Huggles' which I drew for the Kadoodle range. There is lots of fabulous inspiration from the DT and also a beautiful card made by our Guest DT Diane *thanks* for being such a star Diane :o)
I made this card a little while ago as I knew I would be busy this weekend. It's the twins birthday party today and we've got 19 kids coming to their Peter Pan & Tinkerbell bouncy castle party.
Anyway, back to the card.... I love the base layer of this card, it's a DCWV embossed white card blank which I chalked. I've used my Nestabilities, Martha Stewart border punch, Prima flowers, Woodware punches, self adhesive pearls, Velvet ribbon and Go Kreate alphabet dies. The image is the gorgeous Hanglar and Stanglar wedding couple which I have coloured with distress inks.
I was asked to make this card by my friend Lee. He has already given it to his wife, and I'm thrilled to report that she loves it so much she's framing it!!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Ciao for now!

A card for Lewis

Hi Folks!
Welcome to the weekend! If you are wondering who Lewis is, he is a good friend of my twins and it's his 4th birthday party today. He loves knights and dragons. Lucky for me I had the perfect stamps and sketch to make is card. Jo, over on Sketch Saturday has done it again with another fabby sketch. This week is being sponsored by Emma Lockley. Emma is a UK independent Stampin' Up demonstrator. Hop over to the SS blog to see Emma's take on this weeks sketch and details of the great prize she is offering. I would also like to welcome Diane, our Guest DT for the next two weeks, who has also made a stunning card alongside my fellow DT.
To begin with I used some really sturdy dark card as a base. Stamped and embossed the edges with this great clear stamp, another purchase from QVC. The square panel is actually from the DCWV Once Upon A Time stack but I managed to cover all the gorgeous glittered crowns with other elements! I cut the vertical band directly from the cardstock from the stack. I used my Cricut to cut the dotty frame and adhered some faux coins. They have been in my stash for agesand I was glad to get them out. The dragon and knight are from Whiff of Joy and I coloured them with distress inks. The letters are rubs ons which also came in the DCWV kit.
I hope Lewis likes his card and has a great birthday.
Ciao for now!

Sketch Saturday #46

Hi Folks!!
Hope you are having a great Easter weekend and still managing to squeeze a bit of crafting and blog hopping too :o) Over on Sketch Saturday this week Jo has come up with another fabby Sketch. Clare Chanter who owns Thread Bare is sponsoring this weeks challenge, more details on the blog about the prize. It's also Broceliane's second week as our Guest DT. Be sure to check out her beautiful card and that of the rest of my fellow Designers.
I made this card for my buddy Christine Dark. Please join me in wishing her a HaPpy bIrThDaY today!!!! The papers for this card are by Imaginese. I punched a strip of vellum with my Martha Stewart punch. I think the ribbon was a freebie from a magazine. The cute Tilda is from the Spring kit. As usual I have chopped of the ladybirds antennae and replaced with curled wire ones. I coloured the image with my koi water colours. The flower and leaves are from my button box and have been adhered with dimensional glue gel. The sentiment is a Papermania sticker and I have finished the card off with some lush red self adhesive pearls. Not sure if you can see or not but I gave Tilda some eyelashes which help her to look ultra cute ;o)
Ciao for now!

Sketch Saturday #44 & 'Huggles' Kadoodle Candy

Hi folks!
It's Saturday and time for another one of Jo's fabulous sketches over on Sketch Saturday. Lots of lovely circles on this one. The Craft Barn are sponsoring this weeks challenge and the prize is, not one but, two splendid Whiff of Joy stamps. Our Guest DT, Dawn, has made a beautiful card to inspire you as have the rest of the Design Team so don't forget to visit their blogs for an abundance of creative ideas.

For this card I used Papermania designer papers from their 'Sweet Nothings' range. I added iridescent sequins to some of the dots on the patterned paper. The ribbon is by American crafts. I cut the circle and scalloped circle using my Nestabilities. I then embossed the lilac layer using my Cuttlebug and lightly inked with Crimson copper Brilliance ink. The fabric flower was a bit if a find. I was in my local Sainsbury's yesterday and they had reduced their Mother's Day lines. In amongst the chocolate and scented candles were a couple of kits to be made up as flower garlands for mum. The kit was £1.24 reduced from £4.99 and contained about 20 fabric flowers, in 4 colours, 1 yard of pink ribbon, some glitter glue, thread and a bag of sequins. Great value! (I just had to have it) I have layered the fabric flower with a felt flower cut with my Cuttlebug and finished off with a plastic pink dot (not sure what these are called) I cut the sentiment with Go-Kreate dies. The stamp, coloured in with Koi watercolours, is one of my own designs available at The Craft Barn. 'Huggles' is also being offered as Blog Candy on the Kadoodle blog this week.
That's enough rambling from me. Have a great weekend.
Ciao for now!

Sketch Saturday #43, An Award & Kadoodle Candy

Hi folks!
Hope you are enjoying this glorious Saturday morning. It's time for another one of Jo's fabulous sketches over on Sketch Saturday. This weeks sponsor is Dream2Stamp who have offered some really cute stamps for the prize (I wish I could enter... they are gorgeous). We are also lucky enough to be joined by Dawn who has agreed to be our Guest DT for the two challenges. Check out her stunning card and those of my fellow DT over on the blog.
For this card I printed out some background sheets onto linen card from my new Crafter's Companion Flower Fairies Friends CD rom. The final square panel is Vellum as I didn't want to loose all the beautiful detail from the card underneath. The large swirl under Rosabella is a We R Memory Keepers adhesive rub on that I covered in glitter (it's much more sparkly in real life) The leaf tags and tiny dragonflies and butterfly are Quickutz and I have cut them in Vellum. I added some glittery dewdrops to their tiny bodies and some rub on sentiments to the tags. One says 'loving' and the other 'butterfly kisses'. Rosabella Wish is one of my Digi Stamps available here. I have coloured her using Copics, Koi watercolours and glitter.
An Award

I am honoured to receive this award from the talented Ruby over on Ruby 2 Shoes. (Thanks Ruby!!) and would like to pass it on to... All My Followers!!!! So if you are one of my fabulous followers then grab this award, and thank you dearly for all your support and comments.


There is new Candy up for grabs over on the Kadoodle blog. This week it's one of Carol Staple's designs... 'Pa Iggly'. Curious? then hop over and have a look.

Sketch Saturday #42 and some News

Hi folks!
It's Saturday again, and I don't know about you but for me it seems like March is speeding along at a cracking pace. It'll be Easter before we know it. I'm scheduling this post as on Saturday morning I shall be travelling up to The Craft Barn in Lingfield to demo Whiff of Joy stamps. That's right, you can buy Whiff of Joy Stamps at The Craft Barn, just give them a call and they will sort it out for you.
Have got lots to share with you if you haven't had a chance to scroll down at my previous posts, but more about that a little later.
Firstly, this week over on Sketch Saturday Jo had given us a wonderful sketch to work with. I hope you like my take on it. The DT have come up with some fab creations. Quite a few of us have gone a bit MS doily punch mad! It's the first time I've used it on a card and I love the delicate effect it gives. Our talented Guest Designer Shary had made such a cute card you need to hop over and check it out. While you are there you will see the fabulous prize kindly offered by this weeks sponsor The Cutting Cafe.


My card has been made using Rosabella Waterlily, a digi-stamp available at Sandra Dry Digi Stamps (that's my first bit of exciting news :o) I have coloured her using Prismas, Sansodor and paper stumps. Her wings have been glittered. For the dots and vertical panel I have used Velacetate (sp?) which is, I think, what they call self adhesive vellum. I didn't want to completely cover the pretty background paper so this was perfect. The ribbon is from my stash mountain and the butterfly and corner stickers are K&Co.
My last bit of news is of the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp, a new challenge blog. My good friend Chris and I have put out a Design Team call for your chance to come and join us for some good, clean digi stamp fun. Details of the DT call are on the blog. The weekly challenges commence Friday 3rd of April. Hope you come and play.....go on....I dare you ;o)
Ciao for now!

Loupy Lou Kadoodle Candy and Sketch Saturday #41

Hi folks!!
Lots to share with you today so straight down to it! Hope you like the stamped image on this card. She's my very own design, Loupy Lou and here she is 'Just Posin'. The Craft Barn have a huge 1st birthday Fest on this weekend with demonstrators galore for your inspiration. So wish I could be there but it's my long weekend at work :o( Keep reminding myself - I need to work to buy more crafting goodies - so it's not so bad. Please hop on over to the Kadoodle blog where you could be in with a chance of winning Loupy Lou as she's being offered as candy.
Also, over on Sketch Saturday it's Ria's turn to create the sketch. I'm sure you will agree with me that she has done a wonderful job. Thanks Chicken!! The Challenge is being sponsored by Funky Fairys Papercrafts, more details of the fabulous prize on the blog. Don't forget to check out all the great cards created by my fellow DT.
For this card I used papers by My Mind's Eye. For the stripy panel I used a Fiskars border punch and covered the tiny apertures with red and green coloured papers. I then filled them with glossy accents. The stamped sentiment is by Studio G. I punched, inked, shaped and layered the flowers. I used glue gel to adhere and poked in some small bits of dark green ribbon. The flowers were finished off with a self adhesive pearl. I used my Nestabilities to cut the square and scalloped square. Loupy Lou has been coloured in using my Koi watercolours except for her wings where I used art intitute glitter (flax). Just a little bit of chalk around the image to take away the white glare of card and voila! Finito!
Have a great weekend and thank you all so much for your wonderful and much appreciated comment.
Hugs

Sketch Saturday #40

Hi folks!!
Lots happening today, I'll be posting again a little later about the launch of my new collection, Kadoodle Loupy Loo & Bobo, at the Craft Barn.
But for now here's my DT card for the Challenge over on Sketch Saturday. This week we are being sponsored by The Craft Barn who have kindly given some Paper Artsy mini stamps as this weeks prize. Hop over to the Sketch Saturday blog for lots more details and to be inspired by the wonderful creations by my fellow DT. Not forgetting Susan, our fabulous Guest DT who has come up trumps again with this weeks sketch designed by Jo.

For this card I needed to use a smaller image which meant I had to abandon my usual style of cutting closely around the character and adhering with glue gel. It would have been impossible to cut out all those tiny flowers! I couldn't resist a bit of dimension so the little bird is adhered with dimensional glue gel. The images themselves are Precious Moments. I just adore these. I was lucky enough to get these from the US via ebay. I have coloured them using my Koi watercolours. The designer papers are Paper Adventures and I have used pastel green glitter board for the matting and layering. My Martha Stewart border punch had finally made an appearance. It's been sat on the side for a couple of weeks. I'm very naughty..... I think I just like 'getting' hot products. It then takes me an age to use them.
I stamped the dotty border with a HOTP stamp. The corner flourish is my fav Cuttlebug die (can you tell) and this time I have cut pink funky foam. The sentiment is a metal embellishment that says 'That face!' which I thought was quite apt and I have finished the card of with some self adhesive pink pearls.
That's all for now folks!
I'll be back soon.
Hugs

Sketch Saturday #39 sponsored by Emma Lockley

Hi folks!!
Emma Lockley is sponsoring the Sketch Saturday challenge this week. Another chance to win a fabulous prize. Hop over to the blog for more details. Jo has come up trumps again with a fabby sketch for everyone to use. Thanks Jo, you are a st*r.

For my card I couldn't wait to ink up this little beauty from Whiff of Joy, she is part of the new spring set. Hasn't she got just the most adorable expression on her cute face. I have coloured her with my Koi watercolours, highlighted with my white signo pen and added a touch of glossy accents to her shoe. The shapes have been cut using my Nestabilities. The papers are from my Cosmo Cricket bundle that came from QVC... still have so much of this to use up, may take a lifetime! The ribbons are American crafts. The fancy corners are a Cuttlebug die. The ladybirds and 'love' are all buttons and I have removed the shanks. The panel directly behind the image I have stamped with an egg stamp that I have had for a long time. I think the company is Serendipity. I used the masking technique to make it look a bit like a border.
Don't forget to check out the wonderful cards my fellow DT have created, you will not be disappointed.

Sketch Saturday #38. Sponsors - 'The Craft Barn'

Hi folks!
Saturday has rolled around again and Jo had provided another wonderful sketch to play with over on Sketch Saturday. This weeks sponsors are The Craft Barn. I am thrilled to say that the winner of this weeks challenge will receive Dan & Daisy, both part of the Kadoodle range (which is exclusive to The Craft Barn) and both designed by me! I hope you like them :o) Please be sure to check out all the wonderful designs by my fellow DT, another mixed bag with inspiration for everyone.

I had a comic strip in mind when making this card. I wanted Daisy to be thinking about Dan ( like the comic strip thought bubbles) and of course she had a huge crush on him, hence the heart shapes and all the doodles.
The patterned paper is Hot Off The Press. The notepaper down the side I cut using a Sizzix die from cardstock. I doodled the Daisy & Dan messages onto it before adhering to black card using glue gel to add dimension. The blue circle is cut from funky foam using my Nestabilities. The heart and scalloped heart are from the Doodlebug Cricut Cartridge. I then embossed the white heart using my Cuttlebug. Both the characters have been coloured using my Koi watercolours. I finished the card off with tiny hand tied bows for Daisy's plaits, a button in the shape of an apple and some red gems.
This card took quite a while to make but I had a picture in my head as to what it should look like. I'm quite pleased with the results.
Hope you are able to join us in this weeks challenge.

Sketch Saturday #34

Hello folks!
It's Saturday......it's Sketch Saturday Challenge time again. Jo has come up with another fun Sketch, all those lovely layers to work with. 'Fun' is what I had in mind when I stamped the gorgeous Primrose. 'Aint she a beauty!! Be sure to check out all the wonderful designs my fellow DT have come up with.
My fun card has been made with DCWV papers and card. I think the eyelets came with my Big Bite. I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the circle layer and my Nestabilities to cut out the circles and scallop circles. I coloured in Primrose (from the Kadoodle range) using Derwent coloursoft pencils for her skin (didn't come out too well in the photos... I think my photography is getting worse not better... help!) I used a mixture of twinkling H2O's and cosmic shimmer watercolours for here attire and I finished off with cream pearlidoodles for the ice-cream.
I hope Primrose brings a little Sunshine to your day.
Please join me in saying farewell to Emma who is stepping down from Sketch Saturday DT. I am sure you will agree that her work is truly inspirational. It was great working with you Emma and I hope that you will have more time in the future to enjoy your craft again. Miss you!
Hugs
Sandra xx
** I forgot to add that I die cut the letters using Go Kreate dies, London alphabet. I used some fab stuff. Do you remember 'sticky backed plastic'? Well this is 'sticky back velour' lovely stuff. It's like the cheats version of flocking. (I got mine at Hobbycraft)**

Sketch Saturday #33

Howdy folks!! Hope you're all keeping warm wherever you are... it's freezing here! This is my card for this weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge which is another one of Jo's fabulous sketches. This week has been sponsored by Pink Gem Designs. If you love 'cute' images as much as I do then hop on over to her site and meet the family! If you are quick you can enter for the fabulous candy that's up for grabs at PGD... the draw is tomorrow!
My card is quite simple. I had my big brother in mind when I made it as it's his birthday later on in the month, so no glitter or frills on this one. The papers are American Traditional Designs, The background image is from Alota Stamps. For the sentiment I used my Xyron Design Runner and the stars are brads. I embossed the bottom Green panel with fiskars texture plate 'fabric'. Cowboy Dan is one of my own designs that I drew for the Kadoodle range sold exclusively at The Craft Barn. I'm still playing with my Koi watercolours and that's what I used to add colour to the stamped images.
Please take a look at all the wonderful creations made by my fellow DT. It always amazes me how varied and unique the cards are when we follow the same sketch.
Ta ta for now!

Sketch Saturday #30




Hi folks!


Christmas is nearly here... I'm so excited (am just a big kid really) and I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and new year.


Jo has provided another stunning sketch this week over on Sketch Saturday and my fellow DT have come up trumps again with some gorgeous and varied creations.


For my card I turned the sketch. I have used K&Co papers and American craft ribbons. I embossed the uppermost panel using my Cuttlebug and embossing folder. The image is Hanglar & Stanglar and I have coloured her using my Prismas, Sansodor and paper stumps. I like lots of dimension on my cards and have used glue gel to adhere the layers and image.

Again I wish you all a magical Christmas and New Year.

Have fun and take care of each other.

Hugs

Sandra xx
