Christmas post at All dressed Up Stamps.

 Evening - there is a new challenge starting today over at All Dressed Up stamps. This is my latest creation using an image called Christmas Post - quite apt for this blog entry. 

The Paper Shelter round up 2020

    Wow I have been terrible at doing my blog lately... by lately I mean most of 2020. Its been a strange old year hasn't it. Been changes and promotions at work, we got a another rescue pup and did some more house renovations. Along the way I have been crafting and colouring but very lazy when it comes to posting so here is a bumped selection of cards made with The Paper Shelter images for the Blog challenge. 

Enjoy, Liz (:(|)x

The Paper Shelters 10th Birthday

Good Morning - welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog hop celebrating the 10th Birthday on December 8th. It is a 2 week challenge and both design teams are taking part 

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is a "SPECIAL CELEBRATION" theme to mark this milestone. And what a great theme to really get your creativity flowing. 

Now hopefully you have arrived here after visiting Sammy Jeans blog - if not you'll want to head back to The Paper Shelter Challenge blog to make sure you visit them all. Each member of the design team have created a celebration card to showcase the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter shop . 

Each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commentator a digi of their choice as well as the main prize - details of which are one The Paper Shelter Challenge blog and you can see from the Picture above you get the amazing chance to win a gift certificate worth $100! ( That's about £75 according to Google... Wowzer!!!) 

So here is my card made with an image called Attitude changes everything.

I have combined the Paper shelter Birthday with my Goddaughters 10th Birthday- so this card celebrates both! They would often be off Skiing at this time of year but sadly that is not possible this year but I'm sure there will still be lots of fun. 

So now you need to hop over to Lena's blog to see her fab creation and then keep hopping. Don't forget to leave your comment here and on every other blog for the most chances to win. 

Good Luck and HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY THE PAPER SHELTER!

Sleepy Bear & Coffee Break

Morning  -  I forgot to post my last creation for The Paper Shelter so this week I'm sharing two cards made using there fab images. But something ironic that these two are together as really these two are complete opposites.... Coffee and Sleep!
Todays card uses Sleepy Bear  and the theme is Shades of Blue. I've been wanting to colour this one up for a while and had the perfect starry paper to go with.

The second card is using an image called Coffee break  and the theme was New Beginnings. I used this image as I have started studying again to get promoted. So this is me... tapping away on my computer and constantly drinking tea!! 

I hope you like them and will join in our challenge this week,

Prosecco and Copic time! (ADU)

Have you seen our current challenge at All dressed up stamps? I have created with this ADU stamp from LDRS called Prosecco Time. (Now I've had this a while but.... watch this space as there may be something coming with this image... I'll say no more about that at the mo... tease!!)

I coloured the image with Copics and added some co-ordinating paper and ribbon. I added a few Doodlebug sequins and some clear gems. I kept it quite simple but really love how it turn out.

I hope you like my card and will join in at the challenge,
Liz (:(|)x

Copic Pink & Red challenge

Oh No ! Forgot to post this one  on 7th Jan when the  new Copic Uk challenge started... The theme this month is Red & Pink so perfect for any valentines themed cards you might be making. I've used a stamp from Stamping Bella called Curvy girl loves Coffee and done a little paper piecing.

Hope you will all play along and enter our challenge

December new release at All Dressed Up Stamps

Evening -  The new releases for All Dressed Up Stamps have been showcased today by the fab Design Team. I got to play with this image called Sledging Pup.

I coloured the image with copics and used Lawn Fawn & My Favourite things dies to create the scene. The greeting is a stamp from My Favourite things and I thought it went really well with this Pup - Who is coloured grey like my fluffy Skye pup. I really hope we get some snow on a day when I am off work as I would love to see how she reacts to snow - I think she would love chasing snowballs around. 

I hope you will visit the All Dressed Up Stamps blog and All Dressed Up Facebook page and see all the other new releases and inspiration. 

Have a good weekend,

This latest one uses Sing A Long John with a christmas twist.

All Dressed Up November challenge #99

The November challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps is up and running! I have used one of the stamps of All Dressed Up Stamps by Crafteezee. I love the green and Pink colour scheme.

I hope we see lots of entries into the challenge! Its always an Anything Goes theme as long as you use an All Dressed Up image.

All Dressed Up Catch up!

Gosh I really am neglecting my blog of late so here is a quick catch up of my latest creations for All Dressed up stamps which you can get on Etsy

This one uses an image called Its Snowing and I used a background stamp from Stamping Bella and added a few die cut trees. I coloured it with Copics and use blender pen and Posca pen to add the snow effect.

 This one is a new release image called Woof Christmas and I coloured it using Zig markers.  I nearly always use Copics so I probably need to practice a bit more with other mediums.

This is also from the latest release and is called Christmas Skater - isnt she lovely. I teamed her with new papers from Honey Bee stamps.
I hope you like these and will pop over to the All dressed up blog and maybe join the challenges.

Roarsome Birthday

Morning - A new challenge has begun at the  Paper Shelter and our theme this week is to create a card for a child. I have used one of the zodiac images called Leo . 
I enjoyed colouring them up  and think it shows they can be used for other birthdays or events.

Have a fab day peeps and I will be back tomorrow,

Perfect day for Dog walking.

Hello - Its been a pleasant day here so I've been out with the pooch on the fields having a bit of a run around. Its muddy but it cleans off so who cares! We have caught up with the family and soon its time for Sunday dinner... Perfect! I really am a girl of simple pleasures.
So I loved this image as soon as I saw it - This is Dog Walking Doreen from Dr Digi and I've tried to create a little scene around her. Not sure the perspective is quite right but its artistic license...

 The image is coloured with copics and die cut with a My Favourite things stitched edge die. I used freebie papers from a magazine that I've had for ages and added a little dark green lace and a banner sticker. I haven't decided on the greeting yet... see what I end up using it for I gues.
 
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday,
Liz (:(|)x
P.S. No mention of the rugby this week - Gutted for England but the team did so well against New Zealand... I think that was our final!

Halloween Hugs

Hello - I am being very lapse with my own blog of late. I am busy with the pup and determined to get all my dt cards made and posted so my blog is the thing that gives sometimes. I am thinking about a revamp to be honest... but I would also like to set up a full website so I can sell some of my card stash!! It just depends on finding the time!
So here is my card from The Paper Shelter from the latest challenge with the theme Halloween. It was a really lovely image to colour and it called My Little She-devil Costume.

I kept the card quite simple and think the black stripes are quite striking with the red HUGS which is a die cut.
Hope you like it and are having a good weekend.

Fanks Drac

Morning all.
I am feeling fresh after my extra hours sleep and still buzzing from the exciting game of World Cup Rugby yesterday. England are in the final!! I am writing this whilst watching the other semi final of Wales v South Africa.
So my card today is using Drac's Dentures  from Dr Digi. Now we don't really do Halloween but it is becoming such a massive event now and Dr Digi has loads of fab fun images but my point is - they are also really good for other celebrations. So I have used this image to make a Thank You card, but it could be a Get well card or a Older Birthday card.

I've coloured Drac with copics and teamed him with Doodlebug papers and letters to spell out the greeting. The bats are little peel offs and the black gem swirls are from Hobbycraft. 

I  hope you like my card for today and have a great weekend (Despite the rain!)
Fingers crossed for an even better weekend next time with the Rugby World Cup final!!!
