Stampin Royalty Masculine/Dad challenge

Here is the card I have made for this weeks challenge over at Stampin Royalty. The theme for this challenge was Masculine - Dad. I used the boot from Bootiful Occasion from Stampin Up and also for the background paper I used the new stamp called Beyond Plaid.

Happy Birthday

Here is the card I made this morning in class for the above colour challenge from Dynamic Duos. I love it when you look at the colours and think, there is no way I am going to be able to create something from those colours, and wham, a card appears that is pretty cool, (I might add). Having the colours chosen for you is another real advantage. If you are like me, I tend to struggle with colours. These challenges take the guess work out for me.

Showered with Love

Here is the card I made for the Color Throwdown challenge using the colour listed below. This was such an awesome selection of colours, I just had to make a card. So I decided that I would use one of my dies from Die-namics called Umberella. This is the first time that I have used this die, and it is great. I think I will have to go through my stash more often. The idea for the layout of this card came from the very talented Karen Giron, check out her card. She is amazingly talented, and I am a huge fan of her work.

Sorry I'm Late

This week at Stampin Royalty we have a colour challenge for you to try. The colours are shown below. I used the MDS program to create the coloured flowers from the Button Up stamp set. I then coloured them to the colours in the challenge, and hey presto, we have our card. Have a look at the other cards that the girls have created using these colours. I am sure that I am going to case one or two.

All Ears

Thank goodness there is nothing on television at the moment. I get a chance to play in my craft room and enter a few challenges. This is another digital stamp courtesy of Sassy Cheryl. Below is the sketch I used from Sweet Sunday. All products are Stampin Up, except for the image. All colouring is done using my Copic Sketch Markers. Thanks for looking.

Dynamic Friendship

Oh wow. It has been such a long time since I have completed another challenge other than one for Stampin Royalty. This dynamic duo colours really caught my eye. I love these colours together. I have used everything Stampin Up, except for the digital stamp that is. The image is one from Sassy Cheryl. There is a link the left hand side of my blog if you are looking for the image. I'm sorry, I cant direct you any further than that. Click on the link below and it hopefully will send you straight to the challenge site.

Thank you so much Janet for choosing my card for the Honourable Mention at Dynamic Duos.

Best Dad Ever

This week at Stampin Royalty, we have a picture inspiration challenge for you to try. I love these colours and had no problem coming up with a card for this week. Whilst making this card, my hubby walked into my room and asked if this was for him. (He thinks he is the best). So I guess I have made this card for my hubby. Should have had the door shut. Surprise blown! Again, I have used the My Design Studio to create the face of my card. Although I also have this stamp in a wooden style, I thought it may come in very handy in digital as well.

Stampin Royalty Colour Challenge

Oh, almost forgot, if you want to purchase this stamp set, you can now click on my shopping icon on the right hand side of my blog, and purchase this yourself.

King of the Grill

This week Challenge from Stampin Royalty is a photo challenge. I decided that I would use this digital stamp from Stampin up, Yes, Digital Stamp from Stampin Up. So this picture reminded me of cooking in the kitchen. I used the red floor as inspiration for the colours, but somehow the kitchen became a BBQ. Not sure how that happened, but its okay. The picture is for inspiration. You can purchase this little fellow through my online shop on the right hand side of my blog.

Stampin Royalty Baby Theme

This week we have a Baby Themed challenge at Stampin Royalty. I decided for this challenge, I would grab some of my vast stash of retired designer papers and try to use them up. So if you are making a baby card at the moment, click the link below and check out some inspiration from the girls.

Ribbons and Pearls

Stampin Royalty has a challenge this week called 'Ribbons and Pearls'.

I found this challenge a little bit challenging, as I live in a very male dominated household, and don't use ribbons or pearls as a focal point. Well, all in all, it turned out okay I think. I guess this card could be classified as either male or female, hmm.

Stampin Royalty Colour Challenge #167

Okay, so I have discovered that I am hopeless at blogging. I always seem to be missing the deadlines for posting my cards, and I have that much to blog (including Project life) it's not funny. I must schedule this blog into my routines and maybe I can get up to date. Sorry, if you have been waiting for this post.

The challenge at Stampin Royalty this week is a colour challenge.

I have used the stamp set from Stampin Up called Bootiful Occasions (spell check is going to love that one). I have not used this stamp set before, so I thought it was time that I used these boots on a card.

Clean and Simple

The theme for this week is Clean and Simple at Stampin Royalty. Well, I got the clean part okay I think, and the card was pretty simple to put together, so I guess you could say that it is indeed a clean and simple card. (Although it look harder than it actually was.) I used the Awash with Flowers stamp set from Stampin up, coloured with my favourite Copic Markers and glued it all together. Pop on over to Stampin Royalty and see what the girls have come up with.
