Candy Pip

Hello everyone :o)

I thought I'd dig out one of the super sweet Sherbet Pip stamps for today's card, as it's been a while since I've used them...

This one is called Candy Pip, and you can find her HERE... isn't she cute?

Don't forget, there's a fab sale on ALL Sugar Nellie stamps (including digi stamps) until the end of the month... just pop over to Funky Kits for all the details.

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely day :o)

Posy Pip and her Sunflower

Welcome, sugar lovers!! Don't you just LOVE Mondays? I know I do! Especially when it's MY Monday here at Sugar Nellie's! hehe!! Pat Frank here once again (I'm kinda like a bad penny that just keeps showing up, huh?! hehehe!)! And, as luck would have it, I have a new Sugar Nellie DT project!

Today's card features "Posy Pip" from Sugar Nellie's "Home Grown - Sherbet Pips" Collection. I fell in love with these little "Pips" when they first came out! And now, in addition to "Sherbet Pip" rubber stamps, Funky Kits is also carrying several Sherbet Pips as digital images!! And I do SO love the instant gratification that comes with purchasing digi images! Let's just say that "Patience" is NOT my middle name! hehe! This little Posy Pip is available HERE at Funky Kits.

 Here's a close-up...

As a change of pace, I kept this card pretty simple...and by that I mean I used far fewer embellishments than I normally do! I just wanted little "Posy Pip" to be the absolute center of attention!!

And one more view... 

I hope my "sunshine-y" sunflower card brought a smile to your face! If you'd like more info on this card plus a look at a couple more pics, please pop on over to my blog HERE!!

And, that's it for me! Sending sunshine-filled hugs your way....

A Sweet Sherbert Pip

Good Morning! I hope you are all well and had a good Bank Holiday Weekend. Jane here today with a card made using one of the adorable Sherbert Pip images. This one is really cute but seems to be out of stock at the moment but you can find lots more adorable Pips right here at Funky Kits.

I have coloured her in with my Promarkers to match these sweet My Mind's Eye papers which are from the Sunny Side stack then cut her out. I found this shaped card base in my stash and layered all the papers onto red card before sewing around the edges, the sentiment is by Craftwork cards. I added a cute little gingham bow topped with a paper flower and then added a few gems and a little spotty button to finish.
Have a lovely Wednesday!

a frog and an apple all in one day...

Good morning everyone its my turn, Mina, today to show you some sweetness...how are you all doing, did you have a fantastic weekend I hope so...go on let me know which of the Fairy Glens you bought then, could you resist...every one I use I thinks its my total favourite then I colour another one and there you go another favourite...I have a couple of cards to show you today...one of the new Fairy Glen release and another is a Sherbet Pip, so cute and I just love the hair on these little sweeties don't you....ok now onto my first this little sweetheart is called Pippi Longsocks, I have a thing about socks, I love colouring stripey socks so much they are brilliant for showing shading, I coloured her with Distress inks and teamed her up with these amazing Prima papers from the Madeline collection, the shaped one is from a sheet of four shapes (I used one for one of my blog hop cards too) called Beautima, I love this collection is so beautiful and feminine...I used a piece of another Prima paper for the oval and cut some of the tiny flowers out of the same sheet for decoration...my other card is showing the beautiful Apple Pip, I love those apples and for some weird reason I always colour my apples two tone green and red, I coloured her with Distress inks too but this time teamed her up with some Websters Pages papers, I haven't a clue which collection they are from as I have a few but they are in loose papers packs and always get mixed up, its a good thing they all match so beautifully isn't it...I used navy this time a colour I rarely use but I think it works beautifully with her don't you...I added some lace, a ribbon and a gorgeous heart charm to finish...well that's me for today, I'm having a crafting day today, whatever your up to have a wonderful day everyone

Thank you Mina your cards are lovely. I am totaly inspired to get my pens out and have a play.

Well there is no work for me today and as its the tattie holidays here in Scotland, traditionally the time when the children went into the field and hand picked the potatoes. With today's modern machinery there is no need for child labour, shame, my kids could do with a hard days graft and fresh air.

So I stupidly mentioned swimming (don't think I have been in a pool for about 3 years) I had better keep her busy or she might hold me to that!  I still have a load of rubber to cut and pack in the HOS but we all pitch in and it's done in no time ready to feed your sugar addiction.

For those of you who did not fly to sunnier climates this past weekend, I hope that the weather is not too bad  and you are able to get out and about with the children as the forecast is for a nasty winter. Best stock up now, make sure everyone has wellies and woolie hats. Some of my customers last year were snowed in for over a month! Food and heating oil, stick or coal and candles in case the power goes. Plenty of double sided sticky tape because I am sure you have enough patterned papers to see you through a few winters LOL.

 That reminds me I need to get some of my copics refilled or I will be stuck when it comes to colouring in. I know how much more crafting I can get done when I have no Internet so just imagine if I was stuck at home for a MONTH!

stay warm and take care
