So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye!

Good morning everyone,

I'm here with my last project for Platypus Creek Digitals. I have had a great time being a member of such a lovely DT but am feeling I need to take on a little less responsibility in the crafty world right now and play a little more, just for fun. Thank you Tracey, for giving me the opportunity to work with your lovely digistamps, I'm sure I will be back to play along with challenges!

Right, let's get to the challenge for this fortnight, which is themed "Flowers and Pearls". Here's my card:



I love this image, it's really easy to colour too! I used up all the little scraps of paper from the front to decorate the inside of the card.

Materials:
* PCD Flower Sketch 1 digi, coloured with Promarkers & Spectrum Noirs
* First Edition Hideaway & Art Talent Pink & Lilac DPs
* Crafter's Companion Embossing board to create the scallops
* Black fine liner for faux stitching
* Personal Impressions Sentiment stamp set & black ink
* Gems, ric rac ribbon from stash

Challenges:
TBA

No Recipe for Disaster

This is my second post of the day, two more to come!

The new PCD challenge is starting today, Tracey has developed a recipe that I'm sure you'll find tasty! You need to following ingredients: "2 printed papers, 1 ribbon, 1 charm". Lots of different ways you can use this recipe, so I'm expecting quite a variety in projects. I had to do a bit of a "use what you have and make do", as I don't actually own any charms (apart from a couple of Christmas charms which didn't work with this card). So instead I used a brad, well, they're both metal right? I had my eye on some of the Whiff of Joy charms for a while, they seem really lovely and lots of variety in a pack, but if you guys have any other suggestions as to where I could get some nice charms that would be great! Anyway, here's my card:



Materials:
* Platypus Creek Digitals Birdcage on a branch with matching sentiment
* First Edition Up Up & Away DPs
* Metallic thread from local store (Pipoos) for real stitching
* White gel pen for the faux stitching
* Vintage Photo & Tumbled Glass Distress Inks
* Personal Impressions Sentiment Stamp
* Papermania Green Petals Flower
* Pearls, ribbon & brad from stash

Challenges:
* Sparkles Forum (Birds)
* Shelly's Images (Show Us What You've Got/Anything Goes)
* Clearly I Stamp (Anything Goes)
* My Grafico (Anything Goes)
* Digital Tuesday (Spring Colours)
* Cards & Scrap (Patchwork)

* Incy Wincy (Use Pastels)
* Chocolate,Coffee & Cards (Bring on Spring)
* Fussy & Fancy (Spring Days)

Easter's on its Way

Hi everyone,

Another post from me today, as PCD is also starting their new challenge today. We want to see your projects that tie in with the theme of " Easter on its Way". I decided to make a little gift bag that I can fill with some lovely chocolate eggs later as a cute Easter gift. I don't know if the content will last long though......chocolate's never safe when I'm around ;) I used a hand-written sentiment, as I quickly realised I don't actually own any stamps relating to Easter and I didn't have enough time to print those out that came with the digi set. I decided I like the homey feel of it though, so I am leaving it this way :)


Materials:
* Kraft Sandwich Bag
* PCD Easter Egg set
* DCWV Mango Frost DPs
* Memories Direct Flowers & brad
* Distress Tool & Tumbles Glass and Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
* Sakura Gel Glitter pen
* Ribbon, twine, button and pearls from stash

Christmas Pointsettia

Happy Monday all!

Did you enjoy your weekend? I went to see my parents, due to teaching commitments I hadn't been able to go for quite a while so it was great to catch up and spend some time together.

Today I'm back in crafty mode. It seems all I am making these days are Christmas cards, I am amazed that I still have some new ideas for cards! This time I went with a more vintage-like style, using some Distress Ink and my trusty Distress Tool. The card came together pretty quickly in my head, I had already coloured and glittered the Poinsettia and the rest just came together naturally. Such a shame you can't make out the sparkle in the photo, but it ultrasparkly in real life! I made this card hoping to inspire you to participate in the new challenge over at PCD, themed "Christmas Flowers".



Materials:
* Scalloped base card
* Platypus Creek Digitals Poinsettia, coloured with Promarkers
* Crafter's Companion Iridescent Glitter Spray
* Basic Grey Jovial DP, distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Distressing Tool
* K&Co Christmas Cheer Tag Pad, distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink
* Eline's Winterhuis Stamp Set
* Ribbon & Gems from Stash

As usual, you have two weeks to play along, hope to see you there!

Challenges:
* There She Goes (Tag You're It)
* Crimbo Crackers (Anything Goes)
* Wags 'n Whiskers (Christmas)
* Addicted to Stamps (Christmas)
* Forever Friends (Glitter & Sparkle)
* Lexi's Creations (Christmas)

Buttoning Up @ Christmas

Happy Monday Everyone!

It's time for another Platypus Creek Challenge, themed "Christmas with Buttons and a Bow"! This time, I've used PCD Holly Leaves to accentuate a main image on my card and replaced the berries with some lovely buttons I recently picked up at my local craft store. The holographic DP is also a new impulse buy, I was standing in line for the cash register at a department store when I noticed these beauties glistening on a shelf nearby. There a tons of sheets with different colours and patterns, so expect them to feature in more of my Christmas Cards designs! The only drawback is that the paper is so thin, it's difficult to cut straight with my cutting tool. What do you think?



Materials:
* PCD Holly Leaves
* Snowman & sentiment stamp from unknown set, stamped with black ink and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink
* DPs from stash
* Marianne Letters & More Background stamp
* Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas Vintage button set, stitched with metallic thread from a local craft store (Pipoos)
* Create & Craft ribbon

Challenges:
* Charisma Cards (Keep It Cool)
* 4 Crafty Chicks (Winter Wonderland)

Thankful for You

Good morning everyone,

I am really quite late with my PCD DT card today, as our new challenge started this morning already. I had major problems making this card, I had a great idea in my mind but that never came to fruition unfortunately. The whole card really came into being because of an accident. I was going to print off the lovely Ulysses Butterfly as a whole, but my computer managed to print it too huge to fit on the page twice in a row. At first I wanted to throw the print away and start a third time, but then I thought it might also work with part of the butterfly. And actually, after cutting away all the panels in the butterfly and backing it with glitter paper, I was really quite happy with that element. Problem was, how to proceed and make a complete card out of it. To my mind, it never really came together. You be the judge:



Oh, almost forgot, our theme this week is "Be Thankful", me being thankful that I managed to squeeze out this card after all, even if it is a little late ;)

Materials:
* Create & Crafts CS
* PCD Ulysses Butterfly
* Petaloo Glitter Sheets
* Prima Sparkling Spring DP
* Vintage Page Accents
* Eline Vintage Sentiment stamp
* Ribbons, chipboard, flowers, gems & pearls from stash

Challenges:
* Art Impressions (Pink)
* Charisma Cardz (Badda Bing; Bling/Shiny)

Alice in Pearls and Lace

Good morning my fellow crafters!

Did you have a good weekend? I had a lovely relaxing one, first time this year we had candles on in the evening for me is always a sign that summer is well and truly over and we're heading into autumn. Not long now until we need to crank up the heating again!

Today we are starting another challenge @ PCD, we are challenging you to make a crafty project using pearls and lace. I love pearls and use them a lot of my cards, so that wasn't really difficult to incorporate, but the lace was a different story altogether. I had a card made, but then noticed a blob of glue, attempted to wipe it away and took the DP design with it......I hate that. So this is my second attempt, let's see if your makes come together a little more easily :)





Materials:
*Create & Craft CS
* PCD Alice, coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs
* Art Talent & Docraft Country Companions For Someone Special DPs
* Lace from local department store (HEMA)
* Prima Violet Daisy Doodles Flower
* Eline Vintage sentiment stamp
* Pearls from my stash

* Heck of a Challenge (Anything Goes)
* I Brake for Challenges (Use a Digi)
* Live & Love Crafts (Lovely Lace and/or Terrific Trim)

Thanksgiving gift card

Hi everyone!

At PCD, we are already getting in the Thanksgiving mood with the new release this month. The set consists of a pilgrim boy and girl as well as the cute little turkey I've used for my make today. Have a look on the blog to see the set and more lovely examples from my fellow teamies!

I decided on a gift card I guess you could use for just about any gift. I wanted to use some leaves on the card and found some chipboard ones in my stash, but they were bright blue and pink and therefore not really that suitable. However, I just covered them with some orange & red scraps I still had, making them fit the theme perfectly. I then used Distress Ink and glossy varnish to give them some interest. Leaves aren't perfect after all :)




Materials:
* Platypus Creek Digi Thanksgiving Turkey, coloured with Spectrum Noirs
* Sakura Clear Glitter Pen on the turkey feathers and body
* Chipboard leaves + scraps
* Distress Ink Vintage Photo
* Clear Varnish
* Personal Impressions Sentiment stamp
* Ribbon from stash

Challenges:
* Scrapalicious USA (Welcoming Fall)
* Raise the Bar (Celebrate Fall)
* 2 Sisters (Fall)
* The Crafty Pad (It's Scraptastic)
* Polka Doodles (What's the Word Bird?)
* Creative Belli (Autumn)
* Clearly I Stamp (Leaves)
* Just Keep On Crafting (Anything Goes)
* Tammy's Scrapping Corner (Fall Inspiration)
* Gingerloft (Birds of a Feather)

Daisy Birthday

Good Morning everyone!

What a week it has been! I was back at work last Monday and it was all hens on deck as much work needed to be done. However, I also managed to get the flu on Monday, which has had me "entertained" for the rest of the week. You can imagine I was glad when Saturday came around! I'm feeling better now though :)

Today we are starting a new challenge @ Platypus Creek: "Let's Celebrate a Birthday", nice and easy this time! For my inspiration card, I've combined a PCD digi image with a more traditional decoupage image, I think it really works as you can colour the digi any shade you need to compliment the pre-coloured decoupage image. I'd love to know what you think, all your comments are very much appreciated!




Materials:
* Platypus Creek Digital Daisy digi, coloured with Promarkers/Spectrum Noirs and Sakura glitter pens
* Studio Light Decoupage image
* Art Talent Pink and Purple DP & assorted scraps, aged with Distress Ink Victorian Velvet & Distressing tool
* Eline's Vintage stamp set
* Circle digi sentiment from the Internet

Spicy New Release @ PCD

Happy Monday everyone!

Well, as happy as a Monday can be I suppose ;) I wanted to share a new release from Platypus Creek Digitals with you this morning, featuring a lovely gingerbread man. You can have a look at the whole new release at the PCD challenge blog. There's several "accessories", such as a sentiment and a baking sheet. There's also a cutting file for those of you with cutting machines, that was released a little earlier last month. This is my make with the digis:



I've been raiding the scrap box again as you can see, though the mountain never seems to change in size very much. I guess that's what happens when you save every last piece of scrap, however small :) For this card, these little snippets actually came in really handy, as they were used for a quilting-inspired panel. Hope you like it! You can find this new release and other lovely digis at the PCD Shop.

Materials:
* Platypus Creek Digitals Gingerbread New Release image and sentiment, coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs
* Several scraps from my scrap shoe box
* Eline's Winterhuis sentiment stamp set
* Cosmic Shimmer Red Fire Twinkles
* Flower punch (used as snow flake)
* Pearl, gem and ribbon from stash
* Green, red and chocolate brown ink
* White gel pen to create some faux stitching

Challenges:
* ABC Christmas (Quilting)
* Bearly Mine (Anything That Glitters)
* Creative Card Crew (Christmas)
* Crafty Sentiments (Let's Sparkle)
* Everybody Art Challenge (Anything Goes)
