Squiggle Stamps Challenge - Birthday Bash

I must apologise for this post being 2 days late, but I have had internet problems all weekend and have had no connection at all. But, this morning, all appears to be well again and I am able to get this post up about the new challenge at Squigggle stamps. This time around the theme is Birthday Bash - so we are looking for all theses birthday cards - either for a male or a female.

I have chosen to use one of the older Squiggle stamps here and this card would be just perfect for any little boy I think. The image is from the Monster Mash collection which you can get here, the papers are from a Nitwits collection and the sketch that I have followed is the current one at Tuesday Morning Sketches.



Please pop on over to the blog Here to read all about this week's challenge - there may even be a freebie available for you to use! and there is also some exciting news about a new collection of images which I know you will just love.

I hope that you get some time to join us in this fun challenge.

Squiggle Stamps challenge - White Space

We have a new challenge for you today at Squiggle Stamps and this time around we are looking for some "White Space" on your cards. So clean and simple are the words - and this can be a lot more tricky than it sounds! So difficult to resist putting just another piece of ribbon or little gem stone here and there!!


We would love to see a Squiggle Stamps image on your card so if you pop on over to the blog Here you will see that for a limited time only Tracy is offering a free image to get you on your way.

I hope that you get time to join in the fun with our new challenge and enjoy the challenge of keeping it clean and simple.

Have a great weekend.

Squiggle Stamps Challenge - Let's Celebrate!

Sorry to be a day late with my post about the new challenge over at Squiggle Stamps - we have had a family bereavement and I am running a bit behind time at the moment.

So as to give everyone plenty of time to enter this challenge as well as having plenty of time to celebrate Chrstmas and the New Year, this challenge will be running until 6th Janary and Tracy has put up an amazing £30 gift voucher to spend in the Squiggles store - you can read all about it Here.


Just for a change, rather than making a card, I have made a little gift bag for his challenge and I have used the cute All Wrapped Up Boy on the tag. The papers are Sugar Plums by Recollections.

I Hope you get some time to pay along wih us and have some fun.

Squiggle Stamps Sketch Challenge

We have a new challenge up and running today and this time around we have a sketch for you to follow - I do so love sketches. You can read all about the challenge, take a peek at the gorgeous cards from the DT and see the sketch here.


The image that I have used is actually the centre part of a digi image with three characters on it called Snow much Fun, but in order to fit the sketch I have only used the snowman.

I hope that you get some time to join in the fun with this challenge.

Squiggle Stamps Challenge - Anything But a Card

Well, I can't believe how long it is since I last posted something. Long story, but what with holidays and life getting in the way, I am sorry, but crafting has been way down my list for the last few weeks. I am glad to say, that things are a bit more settled again and boy did I enjoy getting back into the craft room and what better to start off with again than a Christmas project.


We have a new challenge up and running for you today at Squiggle Stamps and this time around we are looking for you to create anything but a card - so plenty of choice there.


I have chosen to go with an altered gift tag, but I am sure that this could also double us as a Christmas Tree ornament. I have used the super cute Penguin presents and have added lots of glitter - a must at Christmas I always think!!.

Please pop on over to the blog Here to read all about the challenge and to take a peek at the gorgeous creations from the rest of the DT this week.

I do hope that you get some time to play along with us this time around.

Squiggle Stamps Halloween Treat Bag

I have a little Halloween treat bag to share with you today. I have used Mummy from the Dinky Ghoulz range at Squiggle Stamps and teamed her up with scraps left over from last year's halloween projects. I think this little project just about fits with the new fortnightly Squiggle challenge which is all about Autumnal Colours and you can read all about it Here. Did you also know that if you use a Squiggle Stamps rubber stamp or digi image that you will qualify for a double entry which means a double chance of winning a great prize!


There are some fabulous new Autumn Images on their way really soon, so please keep an eye on the Squiggle stamps blog Here as I know you will not be disappointed when you see these.

Have fun

Glam and Glitz Christmas Card

I have a card to share with you today that fits in perfectly with the current "Glam and Glitz" challenge at Squiggle stamps which you can read all about Here. We are looking for lots of glitter and shine and this is just perfect for Christmas cards. I have added lots of stickles to the image, there is glitter on some of the DP and to top it off I have also added a glitter brad in the centre of the flower along with some pretty beaded trim.


The image that have used is Snow Pals which is available Here in rubber and Here in digi format. The sketch that I have followed is the one this week at The Sweet Stop.

I do hope that you manage to play along with us with this Squiggle Stamps challenge

New Home card

I have a couple of people that know who are about to move house real soon, so I have taken the opportunity to get one of the cards done. For this one I have used the gorgeous Bird House from the Orange Bird Studios collection at Squiggle Stamps which is available Here in rubber and also Here in digi format.


I have teamed the image with some gorgous glittery First Edition papers and a couple of flowers by prima. I have used the image for a New House card, but it would work just as well for a birthday or thank you card - in fact probably just about any occasion would work. The sketch that I have followed is the current one at Sketch Saturday.

Have a great week.

The circus is coming to town

Monday morning again and my time to share a Squiggle Stamps card with you. I have a fun colourful one featuring Oscar the Clown to show you and just for a change I have gone for a shaped card which I have cut the base for with a nestability. I had made this card using the sketch at Card Patterns but I have just relealised that I have missed the deadline.


We also have a DT call going on at Squiggle Stamps, so if you fancy have a supply of great Squiggle stamps to work with and some time to promote these stamps and digi stamps though the blog here and also your own blog you can read all about it Here.

I am entering this card in a couple of challenges this week.

Truly Scrupmtious where the theme is Anything Goes.

C.R.A.F.T. challenge where they are looking for Birthday cards.


Have a great week.

Sweet Stop Sketch challege and playing with digi papers

I have a card to share with you today that I made at the weekend. I have had by head in books studying for a big exam that I have tomorrow as part of my Business Management course so taking a little time out over the weekend was a well needed break from the studies.

I have been using digi papers on my cards for some time now, but usually I just print them off and then cut them to size to use on my cards, but at the weekend I had a bit of fun creating a whole layout on the computer and even in this case incorporating the image before printing the whole thing off as just one layer to add to a card base. It was fun and I am sure that with a bit more practice the results could be really good. All I had to do with it when it was printed off was colour in the cute Daisy with flowers image with some copics and hey presto it was ready to attach to the backing card.


The sketch that I have followed for the card is the current one at The Sweet Stop Sketches challenge. and the papers are from a Nitwit Designs download

Well I guess that I had better get back to ther studying - wish me good luck for tomorrow and I will be back with you again soon.

Squiggle Stamps - Birdie Bunting

Well it is another gorgeous day here today and looks let it is set to be good all week - how great is that!

I have a couple of cards to share with you today using the gorgeous new Birdie Bunting stamp from Squiggle stamps.(It is also available as a digi image). The first one is just perfect for this lovely weather as is has a real summery feel to it.


The second one I have done to celebrate the upcoming Royal Wedding and could be used as an invitation to nay celebration that you may be planning, street party etc.


I have left these cards fairly simple as I really wanted the image to stand out and I don't think that it really needs anything further.

Have a great week.

Something a little oriental!

Hi, Karen here with my Monday slot and I hope that you all managed to enjoy some lovely weather over the weekend.

I finally managed to get a bit of time at the weekend to have a play with the gorgeous new images from Orange Bird Studios which are available here and this gorgeous little one is called Japanese Dolly.


The papers that I have used were a freeble pad that came with a magazine some time ago and are by My Minds Eye and I think that they have a real oriental look to them and I think that the colours suit this image perfectly. The sketch that I have followed for this card is the current one at Sunday Sketch and Stamp.

Please also remember that our new Monthly challenge is now up and running and you can read all about it here - there is a £30 voucher up for grabs and as they say - you have to be in it to win it!

Have a great week.

Monsters, Monsters everywhere

Well, where did that weekend go? I have a great week, but boy did it fly past and here we are Monday morning again. Hope all mums in the UK has a good mothers day yesterday. I met up with my daughter in Aberdeen for lunch yesterday and had a fab time.

I have a card and a little gift card to share with you today featuring the Monster Mash trio. I can't believe that this is the first time that I have used these as they are just fab and an absolute dream to colour.


As you can see on the card here I have used all three of the images and coloured them with a mixture of promarkers and copic markers and I have added some googly eyes to them jsut for an added bit of fun and a little bit of stickles for a bit of glam. The little sentiment is also by Squiggle stamps.



I loved this little monster so much that I have done a little gift card to go along with the card.#

Have a great week.

Thinking of You

I have a card to share with you today which features the Love Birds stamp from the Orange Bird Studio range. The sketch that I have followed is the current one at Sketch Saturday


These colours are not colours that I usually work with, but I am really pleased with the finished card and may now even be a fan of blue and green together.

I have put a "thinking of you" sentiment on this card as then it could be used for almost any occasion, but I think that this card would be especially good for Weddings, Anniversaries etc. Such a great little sentiment I think.

Have a great week and please remember that you still have just over one week to enter our Spring themed challenge at Squiggle Stamps which you can read all about Here.

Have a great week.

Easter Card for Squiggle Stamps March Challenge

Well I may be a bit ahead of myself, but I thought that the new Spring challenge at Squiggle stamps was just the perfect excuse to get those Easter cards started. I know that Easter is really late this year, but I have no idea where the time goes and before I know it I will be dashing around at the last minute, as usual! to get all my cards finished and off in the post. You can read all about the March challenge Here and also about the fab £30 voucher that is up for grabs!!


I have used the Hoppy Easter digi stamp on my card here and teamed her with some gorgeous Easter papers from NitWit designs.

This adorable digi stamp is the stamp of the month at the moment at Squiggle stamps and you can get her Here for only £1 at the moment. The sketch that I have followed for this card is the current one at TRhe Pixie Cottage.

I have decorated the inside with some more of these gorgeous papers from NitWit and the cute little bunny with the Easter message also came with this paper pack download.


Have a great week.

Celebrate with Daisy

I have a card to share with you today featuring the gorgeous Daisy with Flowers from the Oscar and Daisy range.


I have had the great priviledge of being involved with Tracy and Squiggle stamps right from the very start and this image is one of the very first images that was made into rubber and was such an exciting time for everyone. She still is one of my favourite stamps and can be used for almost any occasion.

Have a great week.
