Scribble and Scrap challenge #16 DT post

Morning!!!
I hope you are all having a great weekend... I have family visiting, so I'm really busy at the moment and I haven't had time to craft or visit any of your blogs... hopefully I will catch up on everything over the next few days...

As every fortnight, we have a new challenge at 

Scribble and Scrap!

As always, the challenge is Anything goes. so go over to the Scribble and Scrap challenge, take a look at the great cards my fellow DTs have made for your inspiration and join us!

Also each of the Top Three will win a £5 voucher to spend at www.scribbleandscrap.co.uk! 


And this is my DT card for this challenge!

I made this card for my husband's birthday.

The papers I've used are perfect for this card. They are the "One for the Boys" digital paper set from Scribble and Scrap.

As usual, I couldn't resist a bit of distressing, so I used my Tim Holtz Distresser Tool on all the paper and card stock borders. 

I also hand-stitched them with white thread.

For this card, I used a rubber stamp by Lili of the Valley called  "Toot" Toot!". I stamped it with Memento ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured it with my Promarkers.

The Promarkers I used are:

Raw Sienna, Sandstone, Almond, Vanilla, Cocoa, Blossom, Peach, Soft Peach, Cornflower, Powder Blue, Tulip Yellow, Cool Grey 5 to 1.

I also distressed the image and the papers with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Old Paper.

The "Birthday Wishes" sentiment is from The Basic Birthday Sentiment Digi set at the Scribble and Scrap shop.

I created the other sentiment on the computer. 

I finished the card with a corner punch, a few buttons and a bit of twine. 

I would also like to enter the following challenges:

As you like it - favourite style of stitching (faux or real) and why : my favourite style of stitching is real. I hand-stitch most of my cards, I don't used a machine. I like the texture real stitching gives to the cards. It usually takes me ages but it's worth it!

And this is my card this week!

a bit of a different card for me today! it's A5 size, but the front cover is a bit smaller than 6in x 6in..... 

I took inspiration from a card a saw a while ago, although the sizing of the card is a bit different... I just took the concept. you can find the original card here.

For my card I used one of the beautiful digital stamps available at Scribble and Scrap. This one is called "Vintage Beauty 5.

The papers I've used are also from the Scribble and Scrap shop. They are Fabulous Florals 2  and

Grungy Florals - Naturals. This sets have a lot of colours to choose from, but this time I used one of my favourite colour combinations, pink and yellow/cream.

I used my Promarkers to colour the image.

I used:

Cocoa, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Buttercup, Pink Carnation, Blossom, Pink Mittens, Tulip Yellow, Almond, Vanilla, Leaf Green, Moss and Blender pen.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad in Tattered Rose to distress the edges of the image, papers and card stock.

I punched the butterflies and inked the border with the same Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

For the side edges of the card I used two punches, a non-branded and a Martha Stewart edge punch (the flowers edge)

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Pearls are from Hobbycraft and the ribbon and lace are from local shops.

This is an inside view, take a look at the beautiful papers!

This is the card I've made this fortnight!

I decided to make a card with one of my favourite colour combinations, brown and blue! So I used these beautiful papers, part of the Fabulous Florals 2 digital paper set from Scribble and Scrap and put them on top of kraft card. I used a paper crimper to create the corrugated effect on the blue paper. I love the pattern on these papers so much!!!  

This is a close up of the papers:

I hand-stitched all the paper borders with white thread, distressed then with Tim Holtz distresser tool and Tim Holtz distreess ink in Old paper.

The sentiment is also from Scribble and Scrap, it is one of many sentiments you can get with the Basic Birthday Sentiment Digi Set.

For my image, I used a rubber stamp from Lili of the Valley called Fairies - on Tip Toe.

 I coloured the image with my Promakers in just blue and brown colours,

I used:

Raw Sienna, Buttercup, Sandstone, Cornflower and Powder Blue.

I used a Doily Sizzix Die cut behind the image.

To embellish I cut some butterflies with  Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, lace, gems and charm from local shops, pearls and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

My DT project for this week is a Tea Light card! I made this card for my friend Sandra, whose Birthday is today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA!!!

It's a card full of flowers and a lovely Spring feeling!!! tired of the cold winter already!!!

I took the idea from a tutorial I saw a while ago, here. I have adapted the tutorial to my own measurements and I also added flaps to close the tea light box.

The image I've used is called "Rosie" by Art by Miran. It was a freebie a few weeks ago, it can be purchased now for only £0.92 here.

The papers and sentiment are all from the Scribble and Scrap shop.
The papers are from the "Grungy Florals -Naturals" digi set. This set contains a total of 66 different papers! 6x6 patterned papers (11 different patterns, 6 pastel colourways) and 6 6x6 plain papers to use as a matting layer. Bargain!

The sentiment is from the Basic Birthday Sentiment Digi Set, also from the Scribble and Scrap shop.

All the papers have been distressed with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tattered Rose.

I used my Promarkers to colour the image.

Cocoa, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Sandstone and Buttercup for the hair.
Vanilla, Almond, blossom for the face and skin.
Cornflower, Powder Blue and blender pen for the clothing.
for the hat: Antique pink, Pink Carnation, Blossom, Pink Mittens.

for the flowers: Antique Pink, Pink Carnation, blossom, Pink Mittens, Cornflower and Powder Blue.








I hand-stitched the bottom layer with white thread.

I made the big white flower myself. You can find the tutorial in here.
I also used Leaves die from Marianne Creatables, Corner die from Sizzix.
Lace, Ribbon, button and little pink roses from local shops.

This is a view of the card open:

I used the same papers for the inside of the card.

I used my scallop punch to create two borders. these are to conceal two magnetic strips. When I made the card, it was so thick that it wouldn't close properly. so I used two magnet strips to make it close!

The tag die is from Joy Crafts. I also used a Scallop Nesting die from Sizzix.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges (in alphabetical order):

 A Creative Romance - Jenny's bingo game (my line is: Pink, Lace, Ribbon)
As you like it - Favourite 3D texture and why (my favourite 3D texture is flowers. I put flowers in almost all my cards, love them! for me they complete the look of the card. I've also started to make my own flowers -as you can see on this card-)

My team mates and I have been really busy making beautiful cards for your inspiration... don't forget to hop over to the new challenge to take a look !!!

So, I made a card using one of Scribble and Scrap digis, The Puglies - Charles!!!

It's a boyish card.. I used a lot of layers and stars (I might have overdone the stars.... lol)

The Papers I've used are from: American Crafts 5th & Frolic, Studio Calico Darling Dear  paper pad,  Studio Calico Snippets Collection.

As you know, I love my embellishments, and when making boys/men cards is so difficult! so I decided to play around with the stars, in different sizes, a button and two long and colourful metallic brads.
I also used a corner punch.

I used my Promarkers to colour Charles. I used:

Burn Sienna, Raw Sienna, Sandstone and Buttercup for the hair and ball.
Vanilla, Almond and Blossom for the skin.
Leaf Green, Moss, tulip yellow and buttercup for the clothes.

I fussy-cut Charles and glued him to a circle card stock. I used a bit of  sticky foam pad to raise his foot and ball, as he's kicking the ball (difficult to see in the picture).

I created the sentiment on my computer. I really love this Scrabble looking font, it's called "Scramble".

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

Tutorial for the Scribble and Scrap challenge: handmade Grunge/Vintage flower

Morning!!! Happy Monday!!! 

This is the tutorial that I have put together for the Scribble and Scrap challenge. 

I hope you like it and find it useful!!!

As you may know if you have seen any of my cards, I love embellishments, the more the merrier! And of course, my favourite embellishments are flowers! A while ago, I decided that I wanted to try to make a Grunge style card. But when the time to put some nice embellishments came, I realised that all my flowers were too pretty and “clean” looking for that card!

So looking around on the amazing world of the internet, I got inspired to make my own grunge/shabby/vintage flower. Since then, I've adapted the process to my own liking and way of working.

You will need :

I use watercolour paper as it tends to be stronger when wet.

You will need to die cut 16 single leaves for one flower. You can always put less leaves if you like flatter flowers.

(If you don't have a leaf die, you can free cut the leaves yourself)

Soak the leaves in water. I usually leave a few soaking for a few minutes at a time.

Then, roll the wet leaves. After rolling, I twist and crunch them as I want them to have a lot of creases when they dry.

                                                                              

                           

Once they dry up (after a few hours should be OK, but just make sure they are totally dry as they might break if still damp), start unrolling them, but still leaving the creases on, don't flatten them completely.

Some of the leaves will be flatter or less creased than others... don't worry, you can always crease them a bit with your hands... I also put the flatter leaves as a first layer for the flower, to make a base for the rest of the layers.

At this point, I use my distress inks to ink the creases and edges of the leaves.

Now, it's time to start building the flower.

I place a bit of double sided tape, with one side peeled, and place the first layer of leaves/petals. The thinner part of the leaf should go to the inside of the flower.

Afterwards, using glue, I'll keep on building the layers.

After placing the last layer, I will use the top side of a paint brush to push the petals all together and to shape the flower at the same time... the glue won't be dry yet, so you can slightly move the petals to get them in the right place.

Once the glue is dry, you can add a rhinestone (it should be a bit big to cover the middle of the flower).

You can also use shop-bought stamens, for a more realistic look.

As a last touch, I use the distress ink again, to give the flower a bit of colour depth. Sometimes I use a different ink colour, for a bit of contrast, like I've done in the flower at the bottom.

I really hope you have enjoyed my first ever tutorial and that it has inspired you to try to make your own flowers! You can always adapt this tutorial to your own taste and technique.

Thank you! Until next time!

Scribble and Scrap challenge time!!!!

very generous, don't you think?

As you may already know, it is ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES!!!  easy peasy! my team mates and I have been very busy creating beautiful cards for your inspiration, so don't forget to also check them out!!!


My DT project for this week is a Love/Valentine's card....
I don't usually just make Valentine's cards, as I like to make cards that also work for anniversaries or just because...

For the card I used two digis that you can find in the Scribble and Scrap shop,
  Vintage Steampunk Key and Vintage Steampunk Key hole.
I love the vintage look on this digis....
I glued them to strong card stock and fussy cut them (including the little holes!), as I wanted to put them on foam pad, raised from the background.

I've only used two colours (excluding the white), and I tried to give it a bit of a vintage-look, with the paper distressing and inking (used Tim Holtz distress tool and Tim Holtz distress ink pad in Old Paper).

The papers I've used are from Forever Friends black and gold (the floral paper) and Crate Paper DIY shop (the music sheet).
I hand stitched in dark red/maroon colour around the background paper.

I used a piece of red cardstock cut with Sissix Scallop scallop circle die, to just pop-out behind the music sheet, sentiment and digis.
 I also used half a scallop circle die in white, which I embossed with a heart embossing folder from Tri-boss.
I created the sentiment myself (I love sentiments and quotes!!!).
The brackets framing the sentiment are new. I got them as part of an alphabet set I got from American Crafts in TK Maxx.

The red hearts are a die-cut from Sissix Bigz die.
The white ribbon is from Do Crafts.
Red rhinestones in the coner are from local shop.

I really hope you like my black and red LOVE creation!!!!
