One Stop Crafts Challenge #106

Hi all to day we have a new challenge for you to try at 
Our theme this week is 'POP UPS'
Our sponsor is Digi Doodles
Here is my DT card using a Poinsettia image from The Digi Doodle Shop
It's funny because when I first started crafting I used to make this type of 'pop up' all the time, now there are all types of 'pop up' tutorials around but this is the version I wanted to do.
I used 6x6 white card, the papers are Bearlymine, I used quite a lot of mirror card both as a mount for the paper, for the inside centre, the border and oval.  The green border I also punched with an EK Success border punch then attached lace and red ric rac, the oval green Nestie I embossed with a 'snow fall' folder.  The image I coloured with promarkers then stamped a sentiment which is also mounted onto red mirror card, finally I used some digi Holly which I enlarged, coloured then cut and mounted around the inner circle. 
This is a picture of the inside I had to take it at this angle or you would have seen my reflection and I didn't want to put anyone off looking at my work, lol.
To see more wonderful inspiration and other versions of 'pop ups' then please visit my DT sisters you will not be disappointed I can assure you, their creations are truly awesome.
I hope you will join us and it will be great to see what your version of the 'pop up' you create.
Hugs to all see you in a bit.

Stamping Vacation - No No Challenge

Hi all today we have a new NO-NO challenge for you to try at Stamping Vacation and this month we would like to see Non Traditional Fall Colours.
Here is my DT card which I hope will give you a little inspiration.
I have used one of the newer Meljen images available from Whimsy Stamps and decided on the colours of pink, raspberry and grey.
The bp is Papermania Capsule Collection which I recently bought from Staples of all places, the base card and ribbon and from SU, I punched the flowers from a retro punch and added pearls as their centres.  I punched the butterfly from my Tonic punch from the same card and paper, the sentiment is Marks Finest.
The picture below shows the card at a different angle. I cut the wreath out and used silicone glue to raise it. I added a small butterfly in the centre and a gem for its body 
I hope you will give this challenge a try and look forward to seeing your creations.
Hugs to all and see you later.

Shades of Red at Stamping Vacation

Hi this is my third posting for today so please do scroll down for my first two.
We have a new Monochromatic Challenge for you at Stamping Vacation and this month we want to see Shades of Red. 
For my DT card I have used this beautiful image that is available form Whimsy Stamps, I have used her before and will again for sure. I have coloured her with promarkers then added Sakura clear glitter to her wings
The papers are Papermania, the ribbon is from a Christmas Cake a few years ago from which I saved all the decorations, I knew they would come in handy one day, lol.  I have distressed all the edges of the papers, punched out a 3" circle from Red Mirror card to mount the image on then added some Cosmic Silver Twinkles, I used some of the gold rippled card to mount my Cuddly Buddly stamped greeting.
Thank you for looking at my work and I really appreciate the wonderful comments from you all.
Hugs

It's Meljen Day

Hi all today is a new release day for Meljen Images that are now available at Whimsy Stamps
Here are just two of the new images that I have been playing with.The first one is Apple Pie and I have made a small holder for a gift token.
I have coloured this delicious image with promarkers and mounted onto both cream and red mirror card, I used an EK Success punch for the bottom of the card and when closed the red mirror card inside makes a lovely border.  I found a digi Holly stamp resized, printed, cut out and placed on a red mirror card circle with silicone glue, finally I added a few bling gems.
Below is a picture of the inside, which I adhered a circle showing the greeting and flourish stamps from Marks Finest, the monthly sponsor at Stamping Vacation.
The next image I have used is the adorable little Acorn Mouse this one I coloured with Copics.
I used a green card base the papers are K&Co, I added brown felt ribbon, flowers and a gingham bow. 
 This next card is one I have made for my mum to give to her twin sister, both my mum and aunt will be 91 yrs young in a few days.
I used and 8x8 white card base then mounted two different coloured card, the image is from Stamping Bazaar coloured with Copics. I used a Bearlymine insert then with my graphics programme I inserted the PNG format image and text at the top, I added a purple and pink ribbon.
I am slowly getting back into the swing of things and have had such pleasure visiting, I know it will take awhile but I will be coming to see your beautiful creations so please bear with me.
Hugs to all.
