Simply Create Too Challenge 16 - Country Where You Live

It's time for another Simply Create Too challenge and this fortnight the theme is:

Country Where You Live

So what colours depict your country?  For me, its red, white and blue and of course bunting and tea!

I've used a free template from Papercraft Inspirations magazine to make the tea pot and I've used papers from Funky Hand - Rainbow Polkadots download for both the teapot and the bunting.

I've added a little ticket the the bottom of the teapot and that is from Jellypark and I've coloured it with Promarkers.

Good luck with the challenge - for more details, pop over to the challenge blog!

Jellypark Challenge 14 - Something In My Pocket

It's time for another Jellypark challenge! And I must say that this one had me stumped for a while but then when the light came on, I was well away! The theme is:

Something In My Pocket

I've made another gift card holder using papers from Carinia Gardner - Fresh Picked Paper collection (with a scrap bit of card inside to write the message) and I've used the Cupcake Ticket, coloured it with Promarkers, layered it onto some more scrap card and added ribbon through the top.

The ribbon is from Meiflower and I've just tied it in a simple bow across the front.

A little bit of corner rounding and some inking and its complete! Good luck with the challenge - hope you can join us!

I'll be back later with one of two new release stamps!

Tea and Cake

Jellypark have released two new digi stamps and one of them is this very cute tea and cake ticket! I've coloured it with Promarkers (plus a little glitter glue!) and made a shaped cupcake card with papers from a digi pack called Little Girl Paper Pack by Echo Park. I bought it on the One Buck Wednesday offer from Jessica Sprague.

I made the casing by randomly folding the paper and gluing it down to the card stock. The topping has been made by drawing round the template a few times and cutting random bits out then adding them with foam pads.

I added the strip across the centre as some of my folding was a bit wonky and then the ribbon holds the ticket in place.

Watch out for the other new release - coming soon to this blog!!
