Fairy Cakes

Good morning peeps

Janine here with a little sugar cutie to share with you. I've not used this little fairy before but I'll definitely be using her again, she was such a cutie to colour.

 

She's a rubber stamp called 'Fairy Cakes' and is available to buy from Funkykits - and she's on sale at the moment, together with other rubber and digital stamps.  The sale finishes at the end of May so make sure you drop by and grab a bargain.

I teamed her up with some sugar candy coloured LOTV papers which I have to say complimented her perfectly,  I coloured her with Copic pens and used my Spellbinder, MFT Blueprint, and Tonic dies; to finish her off I added a touch of glitter. 

Thank you for dropping by to see our sugary creations.

Big hugs

Winking Student

Good morning Sugar fans it's Fi here with your Wednesday post!

Now this is Winking Student from the Simply Sassy range at Sugar Nellie and is a fabby wee stamp as we are coming to the end of school term so is perfect for the teacher, there's also some other student stamps you can find over at Funky Kits.

I have gone kind of CAS as again I wanted to focus on the colouring!!  I have used polychromos and blending solution to colour onto kraft card and I have to say I thought this was really therapeutic!!  Has anyone else tried using blending solution...if not you need to try it!!

I have used papers I had in my stash and layered them onto kraft card and added some starts made with one of the dies from one of the blueprints die sets.

Remember folks, there's a special promotion over at Funky Kits until the end of the month...check out the details here!!

Hope you like this weeks card and remember to pop back tomorrow for some more inspiration from the team.

Discount code blunder

Good morning sugar addicts, it's a beautiful day here in Scotland and I am heading outside to prepare for a new patio. I hear there is going to be a good summer ahead and think it might be worth buying a BBQ this year. I don't want to tempt fate but I need to enjoy the sunshine while it visits.

I sent out a news letter this week to you all who subscribe, we have had many issue with Internet stuff but this time the code given proved to either not work at all or gave massive discounts to the point that at check out nothing was due! Free rubber, yeah we all want some of that!

So in order to simplify it, we voided the code and applied the discount to all Sugar Nellie stamps both rubber and digital. Www.funkykits.co.uk 

This promotion runs until the end of the month, some rubber will sell out but digital is endless. Please share this sale with your friends and on any forums you are a member of as we don't have many advertising avenues. I am always very great full for your help and support, people don't know just how small we are.

If you are new to digital please take the time to read how to collect your images as it will save you a very frustrating time later.

I have a few new guests lined up for this Saturday slot, creative hearts that are totally new to Sugar Nellie and from all over the world. I hope you love my choice.

That's all for today, I hope the sun is shinning where you are.

Take care

Karen

Story Teller

Good morning sugar fans

 

It's Thursday and it's my turn to show you one of the many wonderful stamps from the Sugar Nellie range available over at Funkykits or the Etsy store.

 

This little sweetie is called 'Story Teller' and she's in the digital stamp range. I just think she's such a beauty - so cute and I'd love to know which story she's listening to!

 

 

To make this little 5" x 5" card I firstly created the layout in CraftArtist2, however this method can easily be replicated in a word processing or desktop publishing software etc. After printing my picture out I coloured everything in with my Copic pens, then to add a little definition I added a tiny bit of pencil work over the top. To finish I matted and layered my topper onto some complimentary cardstock, and added a little glitter to her wings and a button.

 

For more details please pop over to my blog here

 

Thank you for dropping by and I hope your day is a wonderful one.

 

Don't forget to drop by tomorrow to see what the wonderful Lisa has created for you.

 

Hugs

SOS - a new face

Just lovely don't you agree, when a card is CAS (clean and simple) it shows of the image so much more. All your time is spent colouring not die cutting and most importantly, it's a card that can inspire people to try for the self.

This car was entered into our challenge 

The Sugar Bowl - April Showers bring Mays Flowers

along with all these challenges

CAS on Sundays - Sparkle and Shimmer

Crafty Little Fairies - In the Garden

Add a Little Dazzle- Add Pearls

4 Krafty Girls - Anything Goes

Now that's what I call great coverage on one card.

 In entering other challenges you are sharing the love of your favourite stamps and I love it when you all go out into the Internet and share the sugar❤️.(we will come back to this soon)

We all now SN but there are many who have not yet discovered out wee scottish stamp company and the addition of so many digital stamps makes us accessible to everyone world wide in an instant. (Please read carefully how to collect your digital files from Funkykits.)

Back to this card, yellow is a hard colour to work with but this is beautiful and when Lynne entered it into THE SUGAR BOWL challenge, I bet she did not think that this card would lead to a three month guest spot on our Design Team. 

Congratulations Lynne, we look forward to seeing your sweet Sugar Nellie creations.

If you want a sneak peek at Lynne's style pop over to her blog  http://handmadewithlovebylynne.blogspot.co.uk

A little bit of gossip is a stamp both rubber and digital which has proved to be one of your favourites, In fact the fairies are so popular I have asked the artist for more. Happy happy happy but just not so patient! 

Now there will be a few craft hangovers in the UK today, there was a party yesterday that many lovers of cute stamps attended. Even Sugar Nellie Ex DT's had a get together, in hindsight a bus trip would have been a great idea as we share a lot of customers. Some one ask me to do something similar but the truth is, we are tiny! Most of you know me, well that's it! Only me, only a few hours a week, yes you don't get many companies as small as Sugar Nellie and with so many or our stamps now digital, I don't have anything to do as it's all automatic.

 I just wish I could find several new artist to speed up the new releases, but I keep looking but I am real fussy, after all have I not picked some of thee biggest names in the stamp world, OK I fail to keep them very long as the lure of the bigger pay checks usually wins over but look back at our history and celebrate the great artists which were discovered after many hours of surfing.

I hope you enjoy your crafting or surfing time today, I have an endless amount of project needing attention that I will be lucky to see completion of even one thing this weekend. I defiantly suffer from pinterest syndrome, the unrealistic passion to copy everything !

Take care

Karen

Goosey Gander

Good morning Sugar fans....it's Wednesday and time for my scheduled post.

Now this stamp is called Goosey Gander from Sugar Nellie which is available here.  Now you always associate geese with Christmas but I think this stamp can be used anytime all year round...do you agree??

The papers are from Fancy Pants - Park Bench which I have to say are one of my favourites...I do love those colours!!  I layered the papers onto bazzill card and distressed the edges and doodled the edges...  I coloured the stamp with copics and then shaded with polychromos. The flower has been cut with one of my die-namics blue prints....these are just fab...you must check them out!!  I then added some teeny pearls to finish.

Hope you likey!!

Pop back tomorrow for more inspiration from the team!!

Candy Pip ---

Good morning everyone, Janine here, I hope you're all enjoying the start of the lovely spring weather -- I know I am :-)

Here's my card for this week and I thought I would let the gorgeous spring weather inspired me - so I thought I would go bright and cheery with a purple and lilac combo. So here's a little 5" x 5" card using a sweet Sugar Nellie stamp available from Funkykits. This little sweetie is called 'Candy Pip', isn't she a cutie. I stamped and coloured her in with my Copic pens 3 times, fussy cut her out and then layered her up.  All the other elements on my card have been die cut using Tonic and MFT Blueprint dies -- these were then mounted onto foam tape to give dimension and added to the card.  Full details can be found on my blog here.

 

We also have a monthly challenge over at the Sugar Bowl so why not join us - we'd love to see you. The theme for Challenge 115 is 'April Showers Bring May Flowers'. But remember to use your Sugar Nellie stamp.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Hugs
