I chose a Kenny K image I've had since 2013.  I think this is a great image for a male of any age.  I used card from stash, printed some tyre tracks (I use this term lightly).  Coloured the image with Spectrum Noir pens and a Tonic die sentiment.  The image is called A Need For Speed

Crafting When We Can Challenges 94 - One for the kids

This challenge over at Crafting When We Can Challenges is sponsored by the wonderful Kenny K Stamps

Kenny K Downloads

Prize: 3 images of choice from store

Theme:  One for the kids

I used some background images from the XOXO digikit and used my CraftArtist software to print out both sides of an A4 sheet to make my card base.  I cut off the corners of the page and used my Hougie board to score 4 lines to make a turned back gatefold card (I don't know what else to call it) and coloured my image, Girl Gamer, with Spectrum Noir pens and glued her into the middle of my card.  I then cut the card down to make an A6 size card in length.  I printed off a sentiment and used an offcut of the printed card to back the words and stuck it diagonally across the front of my card.  This reminds me of my daughter, she would be this image if I let her.  I'm thinking of making her a big poster for her bedroom door.

Hop over to the challenge and leave your "Kid" projects for us to have a look at and if you've followed the theme and rules you may be in with a chance of winning 3 of Kenny's fabulous images.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #52 - Repeat Images

It's Challenge 52 over at Crafting When We Can Challenges so why don't you hop over and join in our new challenge.

Our wonderful Sponsor is

Kenny K

I was given the image Let's Party digi stamp and I immediately thought of John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever.  You can image him at the works Christmas party strutting his stuff or is that just my experience of people who have rulers and pens in their top pockets?

The theme is Repeated Image.  

I have used the image and created a background paper.  My card was assembled on CraftArist and then split into it's separate parts and printed off.  I then cut out and layered the pieces onto the card.  As usual the colours are rubbish on screen but in real life it looks quite good.  I printed it out onto pearlised card which I find is always difficult to photograph.

Hop over to CWWCC and leave us your repeat image projects.

Crafting When We Can Challenges 45 - Die cuts and /or punches

Time again for another challenge over at CWWCC the theme for Challenge 45 is

Die Cuts and/or Punches

Our Sponsor is

Kenny K Downloads

My image is Happy Hour and I've used Promarkers and Copics to colour the image and DIs to colour the background.  The pearls are from Home Bargains and the sentiment stamp is from the Dovecraft cupcake boutique sets. I always seem to have difficulty in getting the ink not to pool on the clear stamp so I decided to use a diamond nail file on the surface and it worked great the ink stuck and gave a decent image for once.  I have used a Spellbinder labels 4 and a large corner rounder on the page and sentiment banner.  The dots were made with finger dobbers.

Hop over to the challenge and leave us your creations. We would love to see them.

I will post some of my sewing items over the next couple of weeks and you can let me know what you think.

Have a great weekend and happy bank holiday if you live in the UK.  :-) xx

Crafting When We Can Challenges #37 - Slugs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails (cards for Boys)

Challenge 36 over at CWWCC was awesome.  The wonderful people who enter our Challenges are so talented and it is so difficult to choose a Winner and Top 3. 

Our Sponsor for this Challenge is the talented Kenny K from 

Kenny K Downloads

The DT were given the chance to choose their own image and I chose 

Need For Speed

I firstly made a tyre tread template using my Craftrobo.  I then inked this with DI to make a tyre track across my card.  I kept the design simple (it is for a male after all) by inserting my image onto a background from CraftArtist, using the beach digikit.  I then coloured in my image with Copics and Promarkers using an Inkssentials opaque pen for the white wall tyres and highlights on the car.  The sentiment is from Craftwork cards and the gold bling is actually a crystal one coloured with my Sakura Calligrapher gold pen as was the border on the mat for the image.  The smudge you can see on the image is my finger, I always have to stick my finger on things to see if they are dry, they never are.  My finger prints are all over my cards, anything wet or sticky will have a fingerprint in it, guaranteed. 

 Now it's your turn to show us your 'Slugs and Snails' project it can be anything as long as it follows our simple rules.

Crafting When We Can Challenges 20 - Mint Choc Chip (mint green & brown)

This Challenge we are doing a colour combo the only problem is everyone has a different idea of what mint is, we all know it's green but what green.  Ice-cream tends to be a pale green but the mint plant in my garden if quite a dark green and the mint jelly from the jar is very dark green.  So I chose a green I thought was a minty colour and used that. 

Our sponsor for this Challenge is Kenny K Downloads and we were kindly given a choice of the images from the store.  My daughter chose Brianna Blaster.  As Kenny's images are so detailed I decided to print the image A5ish and colour it in and then scan the image into my computer and size it up and print out 4 copies.  I used all the images to layer up my image.  The mats are are cut from Tim Holtz dies and the tag was cut from a piece of 12 x12 double sided paper but I don't know the name (the tag is the same paper of the mat but using the other side).  The black swirls are pieces of borders from Poundland and the ribbon is from Craft Den coloured with an Anna Griffin Chocolate ink.

Hop over to the Challenge and join in with your wonderful creations.

Once again Challenges #7 was full to the brim of wonderful enteries so a big thank you to all those who were able to join us.   

Challenge #8 over at CWWCC is open until 7th January so there is plenty of time to get your entry in. 

The theme this challenge is FRIENDSHIP

Our sponsor for challenge #8 is

Kenny K Downloads

Once again our sponsor allowed us to choose our own image and I chose EVA PEARL.  I thought she looked really good and I think I will get lots of use out of her.  I coloured here using Copics and Promarkers, popped her up on gold mirri card and punched the edges with a MS corner punch.  The background paper is from Free Paper Pad Challenges.  I made the sentiment myself using a new piece of equipment called Hot Foil Gun, it heats up and you can use it to write on things using different coloured foil.  It was my first time but I think it looks good and with practice I hope it will look really goo.  I also decided to make a bottle wrap to go around a bottle of wine to give to a Friend.

excuse the colours the printer ran out of ink and I didn't have time to do it again.

Now all you have to do is hop over to the Challenge and enter you project.  We accept any work as long as you follow the rules.
