'Include a Tag'

Hi crafters,
Hope you are all well and ready for a brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers!  This week, our lovely Lorraine would love to see your cards which 'Include a tag'.
We are kindly sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps this week and they are offering the lucky winner a $12 voucher for their online store,  They have some gorgeous images so make sure to enter this week's challenge.

The Design team have used their images on their cards this week and I have used this one called 'Mouse - Big flower'.

I colourd the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter!!  I cut the card into a tag shape and added a gorgeous organza ribbon - they make such pretty bows!  I coloured the backing card for the tag with the same shade of pink as I used on the image so that it would match perfectly,  I die cut a border and attached it to the corner of the card so that the tag could be tucked into it.  I then added a few buttons in coordinating colours and embossed the backing card.  I wanted the image to stand out so that's why I kept it white on white!

Well I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations. 

Bye for now,

Karen xx

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges ;
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge - Always Anything Goes
Crafty Catz  - Anything Goes
Creative Fingers Challenge - Anything Goes

For Grandparents/older people

Hi crafters
Happy New Year to you all!!  Hope you all had a lovely break over the Christmas holidays and managed to fit in some crafty time!!  I didn't really get much time to craft as the boys were both home and I had to clear my craft space!!  Not that I'm complaining of course - it's been lovely having them both home.  I took my youngest to the railway station this morning as he's gone back to Uni and I bawled my eyes out all the way back to the car!!  It doesn't get any easier and I hate saying goodbye to them.  So it's crafting therapy for me to keep my mind occupied!!
Luckily, it's time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week.  We had a fantastic number of entries for the Mega Christmas Challenge so good luck if you entered over the holidays.

Our lovely Linda has chosen the theme for the first challenge of 2020 and she would like to see your creations for Grandparents / older people.  We are kindly sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digis from their online store.

They have a fantastic range of digis and we were lucky to be offered one of their images for our cards this week.  I chose 'Cricket Derek' and I think he's so cute!!

I love cricket myself so this image will be so handy!! I coloured Derek with my promarkers and resisted the urge to add glitter as it's a card for a male!!  I managed to find some backing paper that looked like cricket balls and was chuffed to bits!  I did some doodling around the edge and added a fun sentiment to finish.  I then walked away before I added anything else hee hee!
Well I hope you can join in with this fab challenge.  Don't forget to use your promarkers and follow the theme and good luck!
Hugs,
Karen xx

Mega Christmas Challenge

Hi crafters,

This week, a very special “Mega Christmas challenge” is being launched over at Passion for Promarkers which runs for a whole month and ends on 7th January 2020!  Both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and are having a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

The very simple theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “anything goes”.  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation.  As time is precious for the DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for the prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  Please can you help by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £15.00 gift voucher

Uniko Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner 1 stamp set (must be in stock)

Di's Digi Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner a $12.00 gift voucher

Colour of Love digis are offering 1 lucky winner 2 digi images

All Dressed Up stamps are offering 1 lucky winner 2 digi images

Wow I'm are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year!

Here is my card for this mega challenge.

I love this gorgeous stamp and I added some extra colour to the image with my promarkers.  I cut the oval out and layered the frame on foam pads.  I embossed the layer behind the image and added lots of glitter!!  I die cut and inked the poinsettias, added a gem to the centres and added some leaves and pearls.  I also die cut and inked some trees and added a button to the centre of the bow.
I think I might make a few more of these as the image is so lovely, you don't really have to add much else to the card!
Well I hope you can find some crafty time over the Christmas break to join in with thi mega challenge and be in with a chance of winning one of these prizes.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for the New Year,
Hugs. Karen xxz

'3 or more layers'

Hi crafters
Well these weeks are flying by and it's time for a brand new challenge again at Passion for Promarkers.  Our lovely Kitty has given us the fab theme of  '3 or more layers' so nice and easy this week!  We are kindly sponsored by 'A Day for Daisies' and they are offering the lucky winner a £12 voucher.

I've used one of their gorgeous digis called 'Pearls in my Hair' and she's been coloured in with my promarkers.

I've used papers from 'The Works' and used a layout inspired by Ella's Designs.  I've added glitter to the birds and added some coordinating ribbon.  I've used a peel off to edge one of the layers and also added a string of gems across the top of the card.  I added a sparkly button to the ribbon and then walked away before I added any flowers etc to the card!!!  Hope you like it anyway!

If you're making your Christmas cards at the moment this would be a great challenge to enter!  Don't forget, it doesn't have to be a card - just remember to use your promarkers and follow the theme.

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen xxx

  

Ribbons/Bows

Hi crafters
It's my turn to host the challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week and I've chosen the nice and easy theme of  'Ribbons or Bows'.  It could be your Birthday or Christmas cards so why not join in with my challenge and be in with a chance of winning a great prize!
We are kindly sponsored by Uniko Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner 1 stamp set from their online store (which must be in stock).

This is a card I made for my niece for her 18th Birthday last week.  Sophie loves greeting everyone with a hug so I thought this image and sentiment was perfect for her!!

The image is by Stamping Bella and I've used my promarkers to colour it in.  I found some papers to match my colour scheme and die cut the flower from the same papers too.  I added a black die cut border which I then almost covered completely!!  Some glitter (of course) and the polka dot ribbon were the finishing touches.  I hope she liked it anyway!

I hope you can find a bit of crafty time to join in with my challenge this week and I look forward to visiting your blogs to see your lovely creations.  Remember, it doesn't have to be a card - just make sure you use your promarkers and follow the theme!

See you soon,

Karen xx

Use Something Old

Hi crafters,
I'm away visiting my boys this week in Norwich and Lincoln! Great excuse for a little holiday and a chance to explore these 2 lovely cities!
I made my card for this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers before leaving and the theme this week is 'Use Something Old'.
We are kindly sponsored by Crafty Sentiments Designs and they are offering the lucky winner  a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

I've made a leaving card for someone at work who loves sewing, especially quilting.
I used an old House Mouse stamp which I coloured with my Promarkers.

I added squares of patterned paper and added some faux stitching to look like quilting. I added some buttons and a wooden scissor embellishments.  Some flowers and a bow finished off the card, I hope she liked it anyway!
Please join in with this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers if you can! All you have to do is use your Promarker products and of course, follow the theme.
I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations soon.
Hugs, Karen xx

Add a Sentiment

Hi crafters
This week's challenge over at Passion for Promarkers has been set by our lovely Elaine and she would like you to 'Add a Sentiment' to your creations this week - nice and easy!
We are kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

All the Design Team have used the same gorgeous digi from The Paper Shelter this week on their cards and she's called Ballerina

I've made a swing card this week using this gorgeous image,  I learnt how to make one at our last workshop and thought a bit of movement on the card would be ideal for this dancing ballerina!

The papers are from a pad I got at 'The Works' and all the edges have been inked with a distress ink.  The sentiment is Welsh for 'Happy Birthday' and I finished it off with some ribbon and pearls.

So why not enter one of your creations this week and be in with a chance of winning this fab prize!  Just remember to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and of course, follow the theme!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous designs.

Hugs, Karen xx
