Sugar Nellie Design Team Card - Scrapberry's

- Hello Sugar Fans -

 

Good morning everyone! 

It's Wednesday and my turn to share my Sugar Nellie Design Team creation with you; our stamp theme this week is Scrapberry's, so I used one of the new cute baby stamps.

First I decided to create a tag using one of these gorgeous mini stamps, but once I made my little cloud scene I changed my mind and turned it into a mini card. This could be used as a gift tag, birth announcement, or baby shower card. I used 'Minty Bunny' and coloured it with Copic pens.

This stamp and lots of other Scrapberry cuties are available to buy from Funkykits. 

 

 

  

 

Here's What I Did
Firstly I die cut a frame using 2 different dies - one for the outside edge and one to cut out the centre portion. Using the same die for the outside edge I also cut out a mini card base from a much larger card base. Then using the same die again I also cut out a piece of patterned paper for the background, 2 pieces of white vellum (clouds) and a piece of blue complementary card (hill). Next I stamped and embossed the word 'baby' onto the top left area of the background paper.

Using a cloud border die I cut the 2 pieces of vellum so that they would lay on top of each when added to the background paper and then I die cut a hill from the blue card. The clouds and hill were then carefully glued onto the background paper and the white frame was then added over the top to create a cloudy scene. The finished topper was taped onto the mini card base using strong red tape.

The bunny image was stamped directly onto colouring card, coloured with Copic markers and carefully cut out. This was then added to the card front using foam tape. The words 'With Love' was die cut from white card and glued into place just below the bunny.

To completed the card I used clear glossy pen on the bunny's nose and the ladybird, dotted die cut stars around the image tucking some behind the clouds, and added glitter pen to the bell and flower.

Here's What I Used

Sugar Nellie Design Team Card - Enjoy Your Trip and Little Princess

Good morning sugar fans! 

 

Well, it's my turn to share my Sugar Nellie Design Team card with you today. I can't believe how quickly the weeks and months are flying by - omg we're almost in June and Christmas seems such a distance memory now.

Sooooo, onto my card for this week. I decided to have a little play with my Scrapberry stamps, they maybe small in size but they're big on character - they're sooooo pretty!  The stamp sets I used are called 'Enjoy Your Trip' and 'Little Princess' and are available from Funkykits (the home of Sugar Nellie).  

  

Here's What I Did
I used a white 7" x 7" card base which I matted and layered with coloured card and patterned paper.  I then stamped out both of the girls and coloured them with Copics. The girl with the camera was then fussy cut out.

Using white card I created the polaroid frame by die cutting a rectangle and then a square inside it, and then repeating the process again with black card. The two frames were then overlaid slightly off centre to give it a feeling of depth. The sentiment was stamped and embossing on the front of the frame and the window was backed with vellum; the Little Princess picture was then attached behind it. The word 'beautiful' was die cut from black card and attached to the card base along with all the other elements. To finish off I scattered a few die cut hearts around the card, covered the word  'beautiful' with a clear glitter pen, and used clear gloss on her sunglasses and camera lens.

Here's What I Used

Stamp: Enjoy Your Trip and Little Princess available from Funkykits, Paper Smooches 'Sentiment Sampler' 
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Neenah, Red CS, White CS, Black CS, 'My Minds Eye 'Record It-Just Splendid' Paper Pad, White Vellum

Sugar Nellie Design Team Card

Good Morning Sugar Friends! 

Well it's a cold and frosty morning here in my area of the UK, and we're expecting more snow again today. Unfortunately I have to venture out as I need to take my mum for her hospital appointment and to also see my stepdad.  I hope wherever you are that it's not too bad, and you continue to keep safe and warm.

One a good note - my stepdad is coming home today after 3 weeks in hospital. Mind you I did need to do a little pushing and shoving to get the 'stupid' red tape moving along - why is it that hospital departments never seem to talk to each other!!! Anyhow my numerous phone calls finally paid off and thankfully he'll be home around about lunchtime with a 'care package' in place. He just needs to build up his strength now and get back to some kind of normality :)

Anyhoo, back to my Sugar Nellie Design Team card for you this week.  I again decided to use one of the new clear stamp sets from Scrapberry - this set is called 'Cherry' and it's available from Funkykits here.  Isn't she gorgeous - I just love these rabbits they're so cute. They are a really good size to work with, and stamp beautifully even on watercolour card. I coloured her with my Derwent Inktense Pencils. 

 

 

Here's What I Did

I used a 5" x 5" card base and matted it with a piece of patterned paper. The rabbits were stamped with Stazon ink onto watercolour card, and coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils (watercolour pencils). I added a light wash first in smallish area, and layered up the colours to add shade and dimension - making sure I worked quite quickly before the ink had chance to dry. I die cut the finished image into a square (with a curved edge); and then using another die I added a punched hole effect down one edge in which I threaded some twine and a charm.  The finished topper was then stuck to the scarlet die cut stitched square using foam pads to raise it up. To finish off I added a few die cut flowers, pearls and a gem.

Here's What I Used

• Rubber Stamp: Scrapberry 'Cherry' available from Funkykits 
• Inktense Pencils: Rabbit & Friend - Tan, Amber, Willow, Bark / Pinafore Dress & Hat - Sun Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Sicilian Yellow, Burnt Orange, Bark / Underdress - Scarlet Red, Burnt Orange, Bark /  Bows & Hat Ribbon - Scarlet Pink, Burnt Orange, Bark / Flowers & Leaves - Scarlet Pink, Burnt Orange, Deep Rose, Red Violet, Apple Green, Hooker's Green / Cherries - Burnt Orange, Poppy Red, Hot Red, Bark / Basket - Tan, Amber, Baked Earth, Bark / Background - Scarlet Pink / Ground - Tan, Madder Brown
• Paper/Cardstock (CS): Watercolour Card, Lili Of The Valley (LOTV) 'Country Meadow' Paper Pad, Pink CS, Deep Pink CS, Scarlet CS
• Dies: MFT Die-namics 'Blueprint 14', Creative Expressions 'Camellia - Complete Petals'
• Other: Twine, Charm, Pearls, Gem

Sugar Bowl Challenge DT - January 2015

Good Morning My Sugary Friends!

On this cold and wintery day I thought I would share a little sugary sunshine with you. So here's my (Sugar Nellie) Sugar Bowl Challenge Design Team card for you. 

As always the theme is 'Anything Goes' and to take advantage of this I decided to use one of the fab Scrapberry clear stamp sets - they're all so cute and stamp beautifully. I just love this little hippy girl, isn't she cutie - the Scrapberry range is available from Funkykits here.  I coloured the whole image with my Derwent Inktense Pencils - I think I'm starting to get the hang of them. Well I think I am :)

Here's What I Did
The 7" x 7" card base was matted and layered with pretty patterned and plain cardstock. I die cut 2 squares; embossing the white one to add a little extra detail. The girl and flowers were stamped on watercolour card using Stazon ink and coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils (watercolour pencils). The completed image was die cut and attached to a pretty die cut pink oval which was added to the card base along with the square mat using foam tape. To finish off I added a few die cut stitched hearts in different sizes.

Tip: Using an emery board or fine sandpaper lightly rub over your clear stamps so they grab your ink and stamp better.

Here's What I Used
Rubber Stamp: Scrapberry Stamps available from Funkykits
Inktense Pencils: Skin - Baked Earth, Saddle brown, Carmine Pink, Poppy Red / Top - Carmine Pink, Poppy Red, Apple Green, Hooker's Green / Hair - Sun Yellow, Sicilian Yellow, Golden Yellow, Baked Earth /  Flowers - Sicilian Yellow, Golden Yellow, Sun Yellow, Baked Earth, Poppy Red, Apple Green, Iris Blue / Bird - Apple Green, Hooker's Green / shoes - Carmine Pink, Poppy Red, Baked Earth, Saddle Brown
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Watercolour CS, White, Pink & Deep Pink CS, (LOTV) Lilli Of the Valley 'Country Meadow'  
Dies: Memory Box 'Cross Stitched Hearts'
Other: Stazon Ink Pad, Cuttlebug Embossing folder 'Swirls'

So come on and join us in our challenge over at the Sugar Bowl - the theme is 'Anything Goes' so it's really easy and there's a great prize up for grabs. BUT REMEMBER TO ENTER THE CHALLENGE YOU MUST USE a Sugar Nellie stamp.

Sugar Nellie Design Team - Scrapberry's 'For You'

Hi there Sugar Fans! 

Can you believe we're already nearing the end of January; seriously where are the days going!!!

It's been a tough time for my family this week - my dear step-dad (of 30+ years) was taken seriously ill on Saturday and rushed into hospital with breathing difficulties. It's been a horrible few days :(  Thankfully after seeing him tonight (Monday) in hospital I feel happier, he looked so much better than he did. He's 82 and a fighter, he's such a tough cookie. Both my hubbie and I help support both him and my elderly mum. Bless them both, they've been through so much over the past years and yet despite all that they still manage to smile and have a good giggle.  You're both stars and we love you loads xx

Anyhoo, back to business. Here's my Sugar Nellie Design Team card for you this week - I decided to use one of the new clear stamp sets from Scrapberry - this set is called 'For You' and it's available from Funkykits here.  I coloured the cute cat and fishies with Derwent Inktense Pencils, and the rest of the layout was made using my new Lawn Fawn dies. The layout was inspired by my crafty friend Ali - who suggested I made the cat dreaming of his fish supper. Such a great idea, thanks Ali. x

 

Here's What I Did
The card base was made by cutting an A4 sheet of card in half longwise, then scoring and folding it in half. I die cut a rectangle from a piece of white card, then to create a frame I die cut it again in the centre and removed it. The frame was then mounted on top of some patterned paper together with a die cut hillside in yellow card.

The cat was stamped out twice with Stazon ink, coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils (watercolour pencils), then cut out and layered up to add an extra bit of dimension. The 'thought' bubble was die cut from white card and stamped with a little fish in the middle of it, I also stamped a few fish skeletons and cut these out - all the fish were coloured with the same pencils.  All the elements were finally added to the frame, and when the scene was complete I raised it up on foam tape and added to my card base. To finish off I added a few holographic sequins.

Here's What I Used
Rubber Stamp: Scrapberry 'For You' available from Funkykits
Inktense Pencils: Cat - Willow, Madder Brown, Carmine Pink, Dark Aquamarine / Boat - Neutral Grey, Chinese Ink / T Shirt - Apple Green, Vivid Green,  Cadmium Yellow, Sicilian Yellow / Fish -  Cadmium Yellow, Sicilian Yellow, Felt Green, Hooker's Green
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Sheena Douglas Stampers White Card, Back To Nature Paper Stack, Yellow Bazzil Cardstock
Dies: Lawn Fawn 'Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables' and 'Stitched Hillside Borders', Thought Bubble (not sure of make)
Other: Punch, Sequins, Stazon Ink Pad

SUGAR NELLIE -- Scrapberry's 'Our Summer'

Good Morning Sugar Peeps!

 

Wow, I can't believe it - another week has gone by and we're in July already. OMG where has this year gone, but the upside is that my cruising holiday to Alaska is getting closer. Yey!! Anyway back to reality :) 

Anyhoo, it's Thursday and my turn to share my Sugar Nellie DT card with you.  This week's card is another one made using the Scrapberry stamps available from Funkykits -  this sweetie is called 'Our Summer'.

  

Here's What I Did

This week I decided to use my distressing inks and pens to colour this pretty stamp, and I think they compliment her beautifully. I wanted a CAS look to my card so I kept my embellishments to a minimum. To create my 6" x 6" card I matted and layered up some pretty LOTV papers. The lilac square was die cut using a MFT die, and on top of this I added my completed image with the corners punched out.  The 'friends' text was also die cut and glued to the back of my image - both were added to the square mat. to finish off I added dots using my pearl wand plus a touch of glitter to my lettering. The paw print badge was cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.

Here's What I Used

Stamp: Scrapberry's 'Our Summer' available from Funkykits. 
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Papermania CS, Crafters Companion Watercolour CS, Lilli Of The Valley (LOTV) 'Promises' and 'Bonnets & Bowties' Paper Pads

Distressing Pens & Inks: Various

Dies: Die-namics MFT Blueprint '3'
Other: Glitter, Silhouette Cameo Machine, Xcut Corner Punch, Black Fineliner, Pearl Wand
