Don't forget to pop back tomorrow for the showcase - there are some lovely cards to share!
It's a busy showcase this week with lots of creations to share!
I love the simplicity of this one, it's just so sweet - and look - no scallops!! I've been using them on just about everything lately, lol.
I hope you likey!!
I'm setting this fortnight's challenge - it is to create a valentines treat or gift. The DT have come up with some lovely samples to inspire you. Just click on the link to the right under the challenges menu to see all their creations - I think marshmallows and kisses are very popular! ;)
Here's what I came up with. Very simple really, I stamped the cellophane sheet with light and dark pink hearts and wrapped it around a little clear bowl filled with chocolate dipped marshmallows and chopped hazelnuts. That's a fun idea to do with the kids!
The tag is coloured using koh-i-noor pencils blended with baby oil. To keep a perfect white border, I cut the circle with a nestabilities die and coloured it while still attached with the die to the plate.
Here are a couple of my favourite creations by the DT. This gorgeous pail is by Paula
and this creation by Steph contains no calories! It's a wonderfully decorated CD sleeve. Isn't that just the cutest!! And I love the red - it's not a colour I would have thought to use with the smooches set but it's FAB!
I'd love to see what you come up with for this challenge. Just add a link to your creation to this post and you'll be entered into a draw at the end of the month!
For today's showcase, I have a lovely card by Janneke from The Netherlands. I just love the pink and green!
You can see more of Janneke's gorgeous creations on her blog, here.
Anyone can have their cards featured using our stamps in the weekly showcase. You can email me a photo of your creation at any time with 'Showcase Sunday' in the subject line. Everyone featured in the showcase or plays along with the dt challenges is added to a draw at the end of the month for a chance to win a gift voucher to spend in the online shop!
It's quite a sunny day here today, still a very chilly breeze, but it makes a nice change :) I hope you are doing something fun!
Happy Sunday!!
The deep red background on this card is some luscious velvet paper so it's really lovely to touch and perfect for a valentine's card. I've also popped up the rose wreath and the teddies feet with 3d foam pads.
I've had a lot of fun with the countdown and I'm overwhelmed by the fabulous creations by the DT. How amazing are they?! They've completely blown me away with their talent.
These stamps are part of our new clear set 'From me to Ewe'. There are a couple of *amazing* examples of this set on Paula's blog. You'll see that the little heart is a separate stamp to the jumper making it a great versatile little set!
Now, I'm off to check out everyone else's creations - I love this bit as I haven't seen the DT's stuff yet so I experience the same delight as you!! lol.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, see you tomorrow for the final sneak peek!!
