Stampers Delights November Progressive Challenge

As we are now over half way through November I am a bit late with this one but better late than never.

Materials used:

Stampers Delights: Xmas Happy Elf (available by request from the Facebook Page) 

5" x 7" card blank

gold mirri card

X-Press It card

gold pen

Copic pens:

skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

hat and mittens -  R29, R39, R59, R89     CO, C1, Blender

hair - E50, E53, E55, E57

clothes - YG03, YG17, YG67, G29     R35, R37, R39

Confession time, this was originally going to be a tag but I did not have enough gold mirri card in my bits box. The border around the card is deliberately squiggly, a sneaky way to hide the fact that I cannot draw straight lines freehand!

There is still time to join in with the challenge so why not pop over to the Stampers Delights Fan Page on Facebook and request the image. If you need more inspiration you can find plenty on Facebook and the Stampers Delights Inspiration Blog.

October's Stampers Delights Progressive Challenge

So here we go, my first card and colouring for months. Still feeling the lack of creative drive but hoping to kick start the brain back into action. My first offering uses the image for the progressive challenge on the Stamper's Delights Facebook page. The image on offer is of a witch on a broomstick but as I am not a fan of witches I got Janice's permission to slightly alter the image. Please bear in mind that I am not an artist which is why I use other people's images!

horseshoe clip art from internet

Stampers Delights Progressive Challenge

Here we are at the start of May, this year certainly is flying past even with all the uncertainty in the world at the moment. To cheer you up Stampers Delights has a lovely fish bowl set to create with as this months progressive challenge image. I have gone for a shaped card using some of the images to make up my scene and a sentiment inside.

Materials used:

Stampers Delights - Fish Bowl 

scalloped circle die

X-Press It card

Copic pens:

fish #1 - Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, E15     RV63, RV66, RV69, RV99     blender

fish #2 - Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, E15     V000, V01, V12, V15

weeds - G05, G07, G29

coral - YR00, YR02, YR07, E15

sand - E41, E42, E43

bowl base - C0, C1, C3, C5

water - BG0000, BG000, B00

I used the scallop circle die to make a card base and attached the fussy cut bowl to the front. Using a scalloped circle rather than a straight edged one means that the card does not roll over but settles on two of the scallops.

I hope you will check out the Progressive Challenge which you can find on the Stampers Delights Facebook Page. You can request the image from the Challenge post. All the links you need are below.

How are you all doing in lockdown? Maybe where you are restrictions are starting to be eased. I don't know about you but I seem to have developed a muddled brain, all my creative ideas have flown out the window. But then we have some family issues going on which are totally not related to Covid-19 but which are harder to handle because of it. 

Here are all the links you might need for Stampers Delights so you can request the image and check out what the rest of the team have come up with for inspiration. You might also like to look around the shop for more images to play with, especially as this weekend is new release weekend. If you like mermaids and under the sea images you will love what is coming up!

April's Progressive Challenge at Stampers Delights

A new month begins and had anyone said at the beginning of the year that we would be confined to our homes and that a virus would sweep the world causing misery to millions I doubt if we would have believed it. But here we are. I hope that wherever you are you are keeping sane and safe.
Of course us crafters have a head start when it comes to filling time, all those projects to do and new skills to try. So if you fancy a great image to colour head over to the Stampers Delights Facebook Page and request the image for this month's challenge.

Materials used:

Stampers Delights - We're In This Together 

Stampers Delights - Medical Heroes #2 

Scrapbook Gems - Get Well Digital Papers 

Presscut 3 Fold Card Die set

white card

X-Press It card

Copic pens:

skin - E000, E00, E21, E11

hair - Y21, Y26, YR24, E25

scrubs - B21, B23, B24     B00, B12

glasses - R29, R39, R59     100

shoes - C0, C1, C3

stethoscope - C7, C5, C3, C1     R29, R39, R59, R89

plasters - R39     R000, R00, E00

lettering - R29, R39, R59, R89

I used the character and the sentiments from the Medical Heroes #2 set and the pills from the We're In This Together set which I turned into plasters.

The card base is made using the die set. The trickiest part was remembering to cut the panels in the right orientation to get the wording correct. It helped to have the card base as a memory guide.

Janice has produced a couple more sets in this series which are on sale at the moment. You can get them from the Stampers Delight Store here.

Stampers Delights Progressive Challenge for March

The start of another month and although it seems that Christmas was only yesterday we are already thinking of Easter. Mind you our local Tesco's had Easter eggs in on Boxing Day! Maybe I am getting more cynical with age but it seems to me that the two major Christian festivals have become little more than opportunities to make money.  Anyway I digress on to this month's cute image.

Materials used: 

Stampers Delights - Easter Cupcake (available on request from the Stampers Delights FB Page)

Easter designer free digi paper

Gift Bag Punch Board

white ribbon

white organza ribbon

X-Press It card

Copic pens:

skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04     R20

eyes - BG11, BG45, BG49

hair - E50, E42, E43, E44, Y21

bunny costume - RV11, RB32, RV34     Y00, Y11, Y13     G000, G00, BG11

tail - C1, C3 Blender

bows - R81, R83, R85

heart - R89

carrot - YR21, YR12, YR15     G21, G24, G94

cake icing - V01, V12, V15     E35, E37, E18

cake case - C0, C1, C3     V09

The little gift bag is just big enough to hold a small Easter egg, a couple of creme eggs or any other little treats you might want to pop in! Of course the image would make a cute card as well.

If you take a look at how others have used this image you may notice that mine is slightly different. I confess that I worried about her little bare behind so I gave her some frilly shorts to match her top. 

I hope you will come along and join in the fun, just head off to the Stampers Delights Facebook page to find the details of how to get the image and enter. Other places to find inspiration are here:
