Teddy Stampers #32 - Embossing

Good Afternoon, yay it's Friday!! The weekend is only a matter of hours away!

Being Friday also means that it's time for another Teddy Stampers Challenge.  I'm going to admit now that, for some reason, I got my challenges mixed up and was looking at another one on our list for the coming weeks and only just realised that I still qualified for this week, which is embossing!  Phew!  Slap my wrist though as I have been a bit disorganised the past couple of weeks as I've had things going on away from cardmaking that have been distracting me.

Apologies for the lack of infom about the card but I'm rushing this whilst at work!  If anyone would like any details, please let me know and I'll glady respond!

Thank you for dropping by and for any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.  I will be trying my best to visit everyone's blogs over the weekend!

Teddy Stampers #30 - Colour Challenge

I'm sorry that I'm late with my post today. I'm on my 3rd day off work and am on very strong painkillers at the moment because of my back. These tablets are making me feel very woozy!

It's time for another challenge at Teddy Bear Stampers. Thank you to everyone that joined in our last challenge of Valentine Teddies, they were all amazing! Our challenge this week is we would like to see Pink, Brown & White on your creations and we are being sponsored by the amazing Whiff of Joy.

I think this colour combo could become a favourite of mine, I love how the brown and pink work so well together.  As I was making this card for my sister, I had to use the cute Born to Shop stamp from Lili of the Valley

 Supplies:

Stamps: Born to Shop - Lili of the Valley; Sentiment - Woodware; Medium: Copics

CS & DP: Cookie Dough - Elzybells; Pink Petticoat; Wild Rose Studio

Tools: Circle & Scallop nesties; MS Doily Lace Punch

Embellishments: Cookie Dough Buttons - Elzybells; Ribbon & Gems - Stash; Glossy Accents

I don't think you can quite see in the picture below, but I've put some Glossy Accents on the sunglasses.  The brown CS looks orangey in the photos but I can assure you that in real life it's a lovely pale brown!

Isn't she cute!

I hope you will join us for this challenge, just remember you need to use a rubber, acrylic or digital teddies on your creations!

I am also entering this into this weeks Lili of the Valley Challenge which is to use your favourite colours.  As I've said previously, I think this could become a favourite with me!

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.

Teddy Stampers #27 - Celebration!

Good morning all, sorry I've not been around the last couple of days but I've been looking after my poor hubby.  I was very concerned yesterday that he might have swine flu so got the doctors to call him and apparently he just has a very nasty virus that seems to be affecting a lot of people in our village.  He's not one of your typical "man-flu" guys and I've not seen him look this poorly in the 8 years we've been together. I'm over-cautious about all this because I'm asthmatic and only had my jab last Thursday which was 48 hours before Jon became unwell again.

Anyway, it's my first challenge with the wonderful Teddy Stampers gang and I'm so excited!!  Our first challenge for the New Year is Celebrations and we're being sponsored by the wonderful Whimsy Stamps!

We've all been provided with some digi stamps to showcase for this challenge and this is my first foray into the world of digi stamping.  I know many of you have been using these for quite a while, so I'm a late starter! Whilst I did enjoy using my image, I don't think you can beat that feeling of holding a rubber stamp in your hand and stamping away to your hearts content. 

I used the Baby's 1st Christmas image and coloured it with copics before cutting out with my label nesties. The fur trim and bobbles have been glittered with Glamour Dust.  The CS is Real Red SU and the papers are from an old Forever Friends Christmas pad. I finished off with two MS punched snowflakes and gems and the sentiment is from a Personal Impressions set that I have.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:

ABC Christmas - Anything Goes

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

A Spoonful of Sugar - Christmas

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

The Pink Elephant - Winter Wonderland

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Anything Goes



I really hope that you'll join us for our 1st Challenge of the year as I love visiting your blogs to see your interpretations.  Just remember it must include either a stamped or digi teddy!! Please check out the rest of the DT's amazing creations.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you may leave, the are greatly appreciated.
