#39 Die Cuts and Punches

Hi, definately getting colder now isn't it!

Well thanks to everyone who entered our Edwin only challenge we had some great entries. Now it's time to start a new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS.

 

#39 Die Cuts and Punches

 

Well I pondered on what to do....we're sponsored this time by Bugaboo and of course we need to make a card for a man!

 

 

So I decided to use some punches as I haven't used these for a long time. The image is from Bugaboo and as you can see I got my trustied circle punches out and built a snowman. I blame this cold weather were having for inspiration!! Also I dug out a snowflake and Label punch too...the snowmans arms are snipped from a leaf punch! Why not join us and have a go yourself!! Remember to make the card for a male and to use Die cuts and or punches too!

I hope you like!

 

#38 Edwin Only

Morning Campers!

Two weeks has come around again and so it's time for a new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS.

First I would just like to say thankyou to everyone that joined us for the last 'Monochrome' challenge....fantastic entries! well done to all who won.

 

Now on to this weeks challenge.....we are looking for cards/creations that have only an Edwin image on. So if you have any stamps with Edwin we would love for you to join us and make something for a man or boy and enter our challenge today!

This is my DT card for the challenge why not hop on over to HERE COME THE BOYS and see what the other girls have created to give you inspiration!

 

 

 

This Edwin was stamped out when I was crafting at my friends house, the trees were not part of the stamp so I masked off Edwin and stamped behind him. Then I coloured and cut out another tree and attached it with some foam pads. I just had to use a little Antique Linen to soften the edges. So go on and have go. I hope you like.

 

 

#37 Monochrome

Hello,

It's definately turning into autumn now......the days are getting colder!!

I would just like to say thanks to all who entered our challenge and well done to those who won and made the top 4/5.

So anyways... moving on.... the last fortnight has raced up on us again and over at HERE COME THE BOYS we are starting another new challenge which is

#37 Monochrome

Now for those who are not quite sure what (monochrome) is, quite simply all it means is (one colour) So for my DT card I decided to make mine all shades of Blue.

 

 

 

I used my promarkers for colouring my Mo Manning image as they have so many shades to choose from. Then just some simple matting and layering with different paper and card. Wht not have a go yourself but remember the card has to be intended for a man or boy!

 

#36 Recipe

Morning All,

Well today is a lot cooler than last weekend and so I think the autumn weather is on it's way if this keeps up!!

Summer holidays are over for most and we can all settle back into our crafting chairs more easily ready for winter card making.

So with this in mind we at HERE COME THE BOYS are starting a new challenge

 

#36 Recipe

3 Papers, 2 Buttons/ Brads and 1 Image

 

Lots of scope for designing to your hearts content I hear you say! But don't forget our blog is intended to design for the Boys / Men in our life! So here is one I made earlier.

 

 

I have a family birthday coming up soon so I thought I'd better get the card done early. I found this fab Digi image in Mo Mannings Digital Pencil web shop. All I had to do is match up 3 papers and colour my image with promarkers. With that done I set to planning a lay out with matting and layering my background. Then added a couple of Brads. I hope you like my card and feel inspired to have a go and enter our challenge too. 

 



# 35 Teddy Bears

#34 Sketch

Hi to everyone,

I am sooo sorry for posting this late it's unforgiveable really but I have just lost time somewhere!!....don't quite know where!..... Anyways

Thanks to all who entered our challenge over the last fortnight....there were some fantastic creations it was hard to choose a winner!!! Now on to the new fortnights challege over at HERE COME THE BOYS.

#34 A Sketch

So this my interpretation of this great little sketch the DT had to design. I always seem to steer away from using striped paper because I sometimes loose the design...but I think this time it worked ok! i actually got out my cuttlebug embossing folders for the stars piece! And of course I had to use a Lily of the Valley stamp coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is a digi image from Sentiments 4 You

I hope you like and hop over to see what the rest of the DT have come up with!! while your there don't forget to have a go your self....you might win a prize!

#33 Boys Toys

Morning Blogland!

Well we are into the school holidays now and I expect lots of families are out and about if not already away. So some of you are probably struggling to get a minute to make cards or even enter a blog challenge!! Well thankyou to all who managed to enter our Jungle challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS last fortnight, some lovely cards!

On to this weeks new challenge we are asking for one of your wonderful creations for a Man/ Boy with a theme of Boys Toys. This could be men with power tools, golf clubs, cars, they love their toys or little boys and the contents of their toy boxes! loads of inspiration can be found from the DT girls over on the blog. Here is my card. 

 # 33 Boys Toys

I found this brilliant image on Mo's Digital Pencil " ELI" it reminds me of when my boys were little and we took them on holiday with lots of their toys...... but they just loved the cardboard boxes we got from shopping....they played in them for days!! How Cheap is that!!! lol. Anyway I used my promarkers to colour and a little Antique linen distress ink to soften edges while matting and layering with some kraft card and DP. I added 3 little card candy dots to complete. I hope you like and hop over to HERE COME THE BOYS and enter a card for your self. Good luck!

Hugs Di
