Sugar Bowl Challenge 132

Welcome to another new challenge at

 The Sugar Bowl

 

As always the challenge is Anything Goes and you MUST use a Sugar Nellie stamp (either rubber or digi)

 

For my card I've used the fabulous Retail Therapy  digi from the Simply Sassy range at Sugar Nellie and available from Funkykits. 

I've gone with a purple and teal colour combo. The papers are Echo Park. I've used lots of glitter and sparkle on this card. I just love Ken Oliver's Stick It for adding glitter.All the die cuts had Stick It on top when I cut them. I bought the Sue Wilson tree dies and they must have been one of my most used dies this Christmas.

Luv a Latte

Have been meaning to blog this card for the last few days and finally got round to it. I coloured the image when I was visiting Susan. I took Louis over for a few hours to play with her two boys. She's called Luv A Latte and is a Simply Sassy stamp from Sugar Nellie.She's coloured with Copics (no surprises there)





The papers are MME.Sentiment is SU Oh So Many Sayings and is stamped inside the punched out area using the SU Word Window punch.The other punch is a Martha Stewart punch around the page.Buttons and pearls from stash.



Finally got the electrics fitted in the cabin.Was out today and chose the light fitting for it.Just need to get some flooring then it's off to Ikea to kit it out!

Sugar Bowl Challenge # 65

Wow I can't believe I've managed to make another challenge card. I've not posted this much for a while. Well at least it's a lot for me!...lol.

The challenge over at The Sugar Bowl was to follow Maria Therese's sketch and the option of blue.I've used the Simply Sassy image from Sugar Nellie called Team Spirit and coloured her with my Copic Markers in colours to match the gorgeous Bo Bunny Liberty papers.The pom poms I made using a strip of blue card and cutting a fringe all along it and scrunching it up. I thought it looked quite effective. The star is a Sizzix die and the alphabet stamps are from Fiskars.I've dotted all around the blue cardstock with my white gel pen. The eyelets are just set in a line on a plain piece of white card.

Here's a close up picture of the hand made pom poms





Off to lie down in a dark room now....lol.

Only joking!



I've nearly finished another card so watch this space!

Sugar Bowl Challenge 64

We'd been having little challenges on the Sugar Nellie Facebook page and one had been funky hair colours. As usual I missed the deadline.although in all fairness I was only just back my holidays.So instead I used the image for the Sugar Bowl Challenge #64 Kiki's Sketch. The image is a Simply Sassy called Apple Of My Eye and is coloured with Copic Markers. Her hair is a funky green colour, and I've added some glossy accents to the apples. The papers are a mixture of Craft Creations,MME and BG. I love this sentiment as it reminds me of something my dad used to always say to me. It's by Unity Stamps.The sentiment is cut out with an X Cut set of nesties.Flowers and ribbons from stash.

As I mentioned I'm entering it into the Sugar Bowl Challenge

I also thought I'd share another picture with you.I moved house a few months ago and as the garden is pretty big and I don't have a craft room that I'd buy a log cabin to use as my craft studio.All my friends on Facebook have been getting kept up to date with the progress of it.It's not quite finished yet as I have to get the electrics installed,but I thought I'd show you a picture of it so far.

I can't wait to finally have it up and running and have my own little space.

Sugar Addicts Showcase Sunday

Well I was delighted when Elaine asked me to be part of the Sugar Nellie Blog Showcase Sunday.How could I refuse. I've been a sugar addict since the beginning.
The card I've made is using the lovely Simply Sassy stamp Butterflies and Pigtails available from Funkykits.
I've coloured her using my Copic markers as always. She was a delight to colour.I cut her out using the Xyron Shapez nesties that are made by Spellbinders.This is Frame 5.Can't remember what the papers are.Think it might be Papermania and the purple with the butterflies is Kanban.The flowers are from WOC and Prima. The little butterflies are a Marianne Die.

I can't thank Elaine enough for asking me and am so honoured to have been asked.

Sugar Bowl Challenge 63

I've had this gorgeous Simply Sassy stamp coloured and the SU papers picked out to match for ages but never got round to making the card. So I decided to use Erika's fab sketch over at The Sugar Bowl and finally get the card made. The flowers were made using the Peony nesties and the middles are just little bits of twine made into little circles.The tag is cut from a Go Kreate die. As always it's coloured with Copic markers.



I'm off to try and finish another card I've got half finished and hopefully get it blogged soon.
As I mentioned I'm entering this card into The Sugar Bowl Challenge.

Simply Sassy

Made this card a few weeks back.It's one of the fabby Simply Sassy range from Sugar Nellie.Krista the artist has some fantastic images and they've been made into rubber stamps which are just a dream to colour.It's an odd shaped card as it was originally an 8x8 scalloped but I cut the top and bottom scallops off as I'd originally planned to enter it in a sketch challenge a few weeks ago,but as usual never got it posted in time. The gorgeous papers are Nitwits,but not the digi download ones.These I bought last summer in my yearly pilgrimage to Sugar Nellie's bricks and mortar shop in Elgin

Image - Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy (My Friend Kitty)
Medium - Copic Markers
Card - Doodlebug
Papers - Nitwits (not digi)
Sentiment - Hero Arts
Punch - EK Success
Die Cut Corners - Cuttlebug

Ribbon from stash

I've got another super Simply Sassy card to post that I also made a few weeks ago,so will pop it on later.
