Cuppa

Sometimes a card screams out to be round!  And to be honest, I'm rather amazed it stood up and didn't wobble too much!  I've used offcuts of red card with an alphabet die, some half pearls from my stash and an offcut of stripy paper for the background.  The image is from Dr Digi - Cuppa - which I've coloured with Promarkers.

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Someone or Something You Love

It's time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme this week is

Someone or Something You Love

I've used Cuppa from Dr Digi and coloured it with Promarkers.  Papers are from Funky Hand which are sadly no longer available (I am trying to use up all the oddments in my stash) and I found some die cut letters that I bought before I had a die cutting machine, so coloured them with Promarkers to match the colour of the cup.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Love A Cuppa!

I do like my cuppa in a morning - a bit of peace and quiet to myself before the rest of the house wakes up.  Well, actually, they usually wake up about 30 mins after I've left for work!

I've used Cuppa image and coloured it with Promarkers and I've used Tea & Bickies Backing papers - I've cut two circles, one large and folded in half to make the rocker base and then a smaller one to add the image to.

Ribbon and charms are from my stash.  I'd like to enter the following:

Hmmmm Cuppa!

First thing I do after getting out of bed is making a cuppa.  I've done really well and cut down from 2 sugars to just half in a few months but still enjoy my cuppa!  The image is from Dr Digi and coloured with Promarkers.

I found a red card blank in my stash so added the image onto it with foam pads plus some offcuts of card to make the layered banner.

Daring Card Makers - Coffee or Tea Break

It's Friday so time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge!  The theme for the week is

Tea / Coffee Break

I've used Cuppa from Dr Digi and coloured it with Promarkers before adding it to the card with foam pads.  The papers are from Funky Hand - Time For Tea download and are no longer available - I found them in my stash when having a clear out over Christmas and knew they would be perfect with this image!

Good luck with the challenge!

1977

Sometimes its good to make a retro Birthday card - this one was made for a family member.  I've used images from Dr Digi - Camera, Cake and Cuppa plus one of the sentiments from Comic Sentiments Sheet 01.  All these were coloured with Promarkers.

The backing papers are from Bloomin' 70's papers.  Everything else is from my stash.

Cuppa

Ah, nothing better than a good cuppa in a decent sized mug!  This Cuppa digi image from Dr Digi is just perfect - this has been printed and then coloured with Promarkers just slightly larger than real life, so no loss of quality!

Another Cuppa

Sometimes you know you are onto a winner, and what a winner this is - Cuppa digi.  Makes a perfect brew every time!  And to accompany the cuppa is one of the papers from the Tea and Bickies set.  Buy both from the Dr Digi store!

I've coloured the image with Promarkers and used an X Cut die for the heart and a Spellbinder die for the fancy shape behind.  Layered everything with foam pads to provide depth and then finally rounded the edges and added a faux running stitch with a black fineliner pen.

What Solves Everything?

A cuppa, that's what!

And even better when the cuppa digi from Dr Digi is only 50p! You can't buy a real cuppa tea for that price! Scrumpled sentiment panel is from a bag of sugar. Recycling at it's sweetest.

Mix of faux and real stitching - using a We R Memory Keeper roller thing (combination of a 99p reduced to clear head from Hobbycraft and a bargain on Amazon for the holder - £6 and free shipping) for the pattern. Actual stitching using a black fineliner pen. Genuine tea stains from a previous cuppa, digi coloured with Promarkers, embroidery thread from my stash and charm from ebay. Another bargain - £2 for 100 of the little things!

Cuppa

There's nothing better than a sturdy cuppa first thing in the morning; not too milky and not overly Builders Brew - the perfect cuppa is a great way to start the day (even though these mornings its still dark outside!)

Cuppa digi from Dr Digi won't break the bank at only 50p! Papers from Echo Park - Summerdays, charms, embroidery thread and half pearls all from my stash.

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 60

It's time for a new Fetch A Sketch challenge and the sketch is:

Dr Digi is the fab sponsor and here is my take on the sketch.  I've used the Cuppa digi stamp (its currently a freebie on the website!) and coloured it with Promarkers.  Papers are from the A to Z mega collection  by Samantha Walker (I bought it on a One Buck Wednesday deal at Jessica Sprague some time ago and its got a lot for the buck!!)

A little bit of doodling here and there and the card is complete - simple but quirky!  Good luck with the Fetch A Sketch challenge, for more details, pop over to the challenge blog!

Cuppa

Ahhhhhhh.

That first cuppa in the morning is always the best. Unless the husband has made it under duress and he's literally shown the milk to the mug rather than put any in. Builders Brew I cannot stand first thing in the morning. But this freebie from the store is the perfect cuppa!

Head on over to the store to grab this morning wonder before it stops being free!

I've coloured the mug with Promarkers and then made the background with a used teabag, cup stains and drips! Finally added a faux stitch around the edges! Tea is so versatile!
