ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #147 - LOVE

Hi everyone

It is with a heavy heart that I post my last DT card for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'LOVE'.   What a lovely theme to go out on!

I was lucky to be able to use this lovely Digi created by Beary Dust Designs and is available here .  Although there is little colouring needed, I used Copics to add the colour where it is needed.

Die-cuts: I am not sure which die-cut this is to be honest. It was in a pack I bought from EBay.

ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #145 - NEW

Hi everyone

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'NEW'.   This can be New.   This can be new baby/ new year, could be a year of birth/ life together or simply new stash.  My card is suitable for male or female, but actually is made for a special birthday (a big zero).  I do not think the recipient will thank me for putting the age on the front so I used a sentiment saying 'On Your special Day' instead.  So, my 'New' is for a new decade.

I was lucky to be able to use this lovely 'Lovey Dovey Silhouette' Digi created by Floppy Latte Designs and is available here .  I am really enjoying working with these Silhouette digis, and jof course it means no colouring too!  This was a joy to work with.

Die-cuts: I am not sure which die-cut this is to be honest.

Hi everyone

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'More than one fold'.   Well I did not need to think twice because I was just in the mood to make an easel card. 

I was lucky to be able to use this lovely 'Santa Sleigh Silhouette' Digi created by Floppy Latte Designs and is available here .  It is the first time I have used a Silhouette digi, well that is not quite true, I think I have used one once, but a long time ago.  This was a joy to work with.

Hi everyone

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'Anything Goes'.    We have a fabulous sponsor this week, I was so lucky to be able to use this lovely image by Rick St Dennis called 'Rainbow fairy', what a lovely name!   You simply must pop over and take a look at the gorgeous Digis, they are just beyond belief!

ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #141 - 'Fabric, Ribbon or Lace'

Hi everyone

Well isn't it just great Crafting weather here in the UK today.  It is pouring with rain here on the North East Coast.

Just a little heads up incase anyone is interested.  I have some stamps for sale on EBay, they are mostly unused ones.  There is a link on my sidebar.  

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is a fabulous one, simply 'Fabric, Ribbon or Lace'.  How good is that!  (I went for ribbon and lace)  I have used this lovely image by   Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps called 'Clover Heart', well,  I fancied doing something nice and bright and cheerful so went for Christmassy colours.  I love making cards which would be suitable for Christmas or Winter birthdays.

ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #139 - 'Thanks'

Hi everyone

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'Thanks'.    I have used this lovely image by REECES SCRAP PIECES called 'An Inviting Hug', what a lovely name!  AND so quick easy to colour too!  It is ideal for making up some quick Christmas cards, although there was nothing quick about my creation today!

Sponsor:

 

This lovely image  is available from  Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps . 

So, what weird and wonderful idea did I come up with?  I opted to make a Chocolate Bar wrapper.  This is something I have been wanting to try for ages now.  I can tell you now, in hindsight, you definitely need TWO bars of chocolate.  Well I just do not know what happened but the first one just seemed to vanish! lol  Anyhow, I took the sturdy wrapper from the bar, measured it and then cut my piece of card, scoring in the same way as Lindt had done making it just a little bit bigger so the bar of chocolate will slip into it easily.  I left it open at both ends too.  I went for the Christmas theme because I thought how many times we need that just little bit of something to say thank you to someone, and covered in this way it makes it look so much more special.

 After sitting planning it out for ages with this and that, I was struggling, so eventually I just gave up and went for it BIG TIME - ermmmm I think I may have gone a little bit too over the top actually!  But hey I enjoyed doing it. AND  most of the items came from my stash!  I wonder what you think?
