Beccy's Place March Blog Challenge

 This month I decided to work with the March Challenge freebie.  My grand-daughter, Isla-May is celebrating her 7th birthday and this image was very fitting for her card, as she is still waiting for her two front teeth to come down.  They have both broke the surface so hopefully they won't be too long.  Her Mum surprised her with her very own pet yesterday - not that they don't have enough lol.  It is a black and white floppy-eared bunny who she called Thumper.  It is a little girl.

I have used a sentiment from Strawberry Patch, an old Beccy's Place set  and a coloured image of chocolate strawberries from last month's Beccy freebie. The coloured strawberries and Toothless are mounted with foam tape.

Bizzy Bec's Digital Stamps

 Bizzy Becs has added some new digital stamps to the shop.

They are gorgeous and so easy to colour and work with.  Today I have created 3 CAS cards using some of the newbies.  I hope you had a chance to grab the Peony 2022 freebie set which was available in the shop for a limited time.  The papers and sentiments come in very handy for a quick card.

Today as well I am showcasing the new Magnolia stamp.  I have made a slimline base with  left over from a rectangle die I cut out, then I coloured the magnolia and cherry blossom with pencils and raised the digi with foam tape.  I added a chipboard sentiment painted with a Posca pen and 3 small resin hearts.

Sandra Caldwell March Release

 The theme for this release is Easter and St Patrick's Day.  Here is my inspiration using #3547 Lucky Lil Girl.

I have used shimmer pens on the hair and shamrock, pencils for the skin and glitter ball-point pens here and there.  Don't forget for the first 24 hours of release, Sandra discounts them, so I will be in the Etsy shop to grab the other new images.  Why don't you join me?

Bizzy Bec's March 2022 "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge

 This month I decided to play with some more of the Miss Cherry Martini girls.  I have been making a few sets of ATCs lately so I thought I would make some with these digi stamps.  The trouble with ATCs is you have to be able to colour small.  I hope you like my attempt at this.

ATCs using Miss Cherry Martini digital stamp collection
Kneeling Kitty
Skye with Lollipop
Ashley and Bunny

The backgrounds on the ATCs are from my stash of Gecko Galz products

I hope you can join in our March "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge.

Don't forget to check back at the Bizzy Bec's Shop regularly because there are always specials and new products.  There are 2141 new products to browse through for March.  I am still going through them all, lots of new companies I haven't heard of as well and their products are outstanding.  I need to win Lotto I think!

SheepSki Designs March Blog Challenge

 This month's Blog Challenge #60 has an optional twist of Flowers.  I am showcasing a card I made with "For You".

I decided to add some flower stickers from my stash.  They are probably ages old but suited the theme and the cutest elephant I have ever seen.

Be sure to join in the fun on our Facebook Page group.

Hope you can enter our Blog Challenge this month.

Sorry for this limited content. It’s hard to post on your blog using your mobile. I also have limited embellishments at my mum’s so hence the magazine cutouts.  This is a Sandra Caldwell image #2805 Old Lady Coffee.  I am entering https://holleybarnhartsblog.blogspot.com/2022/02/contest-sandra-caldwell-coffee-theme.html?m=1

Sandra Caldwell Stamps - 2nd February 2022 Release

 It's time for Sandra's second release.  This time I am working with #3790 Kitty Head Piece.  As anyone who reads my blog knows I love any digi that has a cat in it.  I have coloured this digi with coloured pencils.  The card base is purple and the bricks are designer paper.

Can you see two kitties on this card?  That's right I have used a punch to cut out a cat and replaced the shape with foam tape.

This digi along with the rest of the second release will be in the Etsy shop and will be on sale for the first 24 hours of the release.

Holley, Coffee and Twistoon

 This time I am working with a Twistoon coffee related stamp and of course it involves one of Lisa's gnomes.  Here is my card with George Coffee Ploof Gnome from Twistoon Digi Stamps.

 I have made another coffee card for Holley's celebrations.  This time using #3268 Coffee on my Mind, another of Sandra Caldwell's fantastic coffee digis.

I hope you will join in Holley's celebration.  This goes until 24th February so plenty of time to get out those coffee stamps and start creating.

Holley's Celebration

 My fellow DTer on Sandra Caldwell Stamps is celebrating another year since her brain tumour operation.  Holley always celebrates to give back to those who have helped and encouraged her along the way.  I could not resist the stamp Sandra made for this celebration.  Here it is - #3795 Celebrate with Holley Coffee.

Bizzy Bec's February Blog Challenge

 It's February already and time for our Blog Challenge "Anything Goes".   This month I am working with a Penny Black clear stamp.  I have lots of Penny Black's stamps, I just have to work out which box they are in.  I have parked a lot of my stamps since discovering digital stamps.  Well I bought a new one from Bizzy Bec's when the January sale was on and now I want to find my others.

Product used Penny Black Clear Stamp - Peekaboo
currently sold out but can be ordered in by Bec
Cardstock, background is cardboard backing from 
a packet of butterflies, lace and gems 

Inside of card

The background on the card was the cardboard in a set of butterflies my Mum gave me.  I think she had them in her stash for a while.  At least I have used the cardboard packaging even if I don't know when I will use the 3d butterflies.
