Tag along with crafty roo

I have been lucky recently and won some lovely prizes, for which I’m extremely grateful.

I’ve been longing to enter the Tag-along and ATC challenge with a lovely large die set,

the one I’ve made here is only the third largest!

 

I received this Crafty Roo set so set about doing a decoupage collage.

My desk is still covered with Christmas stuff!

For some reason I opted for vanilla card, then inked with Poppy Parade and Shy Shamrock.

The weather is so dull it’s hard to get a decent picture, hopefully you can see some sparkle on the close up.

I’m not sure about my white highlights, I smudged the gold glitter glue,

and the sentiment went a bit wonky, but hey, shows it’s hand made eh?!

I used 3 strands of glittery ribbon and a couple of wired berries.

(I save all the bits from crackers…..does that mean I’m crackers?!)

I’m entering this into the challenge  Tag-along and ATC  using the anything goes option.

You are remarkable square

Here’s another card using the same set as yesterday….SU You are Remarkable.

I used some designer paper for the background, white card frame cut using the arch dies,

and a rectangle piece of gold foiled ephemera that I managed to fit behind,

that was in my stash left over from a kit I think.

I stamped the flower on a white snippet and fussy cut, 

the sentiment (Alex Syberia?) was also stamped on a white snippet, and die cut.

I added some sequins, but maybe shouldn’t have, then stamped the envelope….I’m trying to do that more.

As I used some snippets, I’m taking this to the Snippets Playground #524

You are remarkable arch

Here’s a set I acquired recently from SU, “You are remarkable”.

One of the reasons I got it was the two teeny tiny 🐝 bees 😍,

I also like the flower and sentiment…..

Daffodil card base, Corrugated embossed layer…

I used to have a crimping machine, (do you still have one?……..), but much prefer this new folder….

I wrapped some yellow ribbon around it.

Then using the arch dies, a piece of designer paper, and a white layer,

upon which I stamped and coloured with blends.

It’s the first time with the stamp set and the corrugated folder, so heading over to

Monochrome Male

 I needed some quick and simple birthday cards 🙄, like there’s any such thing 😂

I’d seen an idea using Uniko Background Builders Round in Circles,

and just went for it…..

All our cards are made with love, that’s the main thing!

EDITED TO ADD:

All sorts Challenge #841 is for “boys or men”, so I’m taking this over thanks to Linby!

Robins Flying your way

 Flying Your Way is another new to me Penny Black stamp,

so I made two cards…..

I stamped and heat embossed then watercoloured on watercolour paper.

I had some spare time over the holidays to get ahead for next Christmas.

I subtly stamped the background, and added a sparkly die cut frame.

I’m taking this to Stamping Sensations (B for bird),

and Penny Black Saturday Challenge (new or AG)

Then I made a similar but square card, this time framed with blue glimmer paper.

I added a tag sentiment, and stamped the envelope.

Entering this in We Love Stamping (new stamp)

and MyNBUS #82 as I’ve not used it before
