A Spoonfull of Sugar/Daring Cardmakers

Whohhooo...another card for me today! Made this one for a lady at work, she has her 40th next weekend. This card I have incorporated in two challenges, over at Spoonfull the challenge for this week is butterflies. I got these DP a few weeks ago and one of the designs in the pad is of butterflies so I cut some out to use as embellishments. Lets hope she hasn't got a butterfly phobia...eeekkk! :D For this weeks Daring cardmakers they need some sunshine, since it's a bit dull down there. So the challenge is "sizzling hot", to use bright colours for your card, like orange, red and yellow. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the circles and "40" and for my round sentiment I used a SU stamp. I also used a couple of SU punches, circle and scalloped circle. The flowers are from Prima and Papermania. The letters for "VAL" I stamped with my little alphabet cube from Studio G. Quite a simple card, but didn't want to make it too fussy for her. Had a great time making it though, since hardly get any time nowadays. Thanks for popping by. Have a good evening.

Doubledutch/Cute card Thursday

Evening all. Having a hard time finding a slot during the day to make some crafty bits, but managed to make a couple today. It's crazy the last few weeks before the summer hols and the schools are cramming in all sorts of activities (ie sponsored walks, sportsday etc) so can't wait for the holidays so I can have some crafty time, instead of running around like a headless chicken...lol...busy this week, got a mural to do tomorrow and some bits and bobs. Here I have made a bookmark for this fornight Double dutch challenge. They always have unusual interesting challenges and I am ashamed I missed the last one AND I am really late with this one. I have combined this challenge with Cute Card thursday aswell, the challenge there is quotations. So I stuck on one from my little box of proverbs from K&Co. The papers I used are from Basic Grey and the image is an old Tilda image, I coloured her in with promarkers. The sentiment stamp is from SU and I used some SU punches for this bookmark. The ribbon I randomly found in one of my craft boxes. Shame there was only a little bit, loove the colour. Anyways thanks for poppping by. Have a great weekend.
