Fab'n'Funky Challenge #71 - "Put those papers AWAY!"...

Hi all! I really didn't think I'd have time to join in with the Fab'n'Funky ladies this week with my Sister's fast approaching wedding and all. But I had a little free time today, so here it is, my DT card. I even had chance to use my replacement sewing machine on this card.

This week we DO NOT want to see designer papers of any kind on your project!

I used one of my new Gorjuss Girls stamps, and coloured with Copic markers & glitter Copics.

I actually quite like this weeks no DP challenge, as it so much much easier to match up your colours/colouring! I simply used 3 different colours of Core'dinations card, an embossing folder and sandpaper. The Kraft card blank is a Papermania one.

I also used;

Paper flowers from Pink Gem Designs,

Spacers & bead caps, Quixotic Paperie,

Brads,

and my fave Leone Em punch, Ash Branch.

I will also put this into;

FOR FUN CHALLENGES - Mother's Day OR flower

My Mum's Craft Shop - cute & girly

Try It On Tuesday - something old (my Leone Em punch) & something new (my stamp!)

Make It Monday - anything goes

Hope you will join us this week over at F'n'F!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My New Toy!...

Hi all! Hope you're enjoying your weekend? For a while now I have wanted a proper sewing machine for using on cards, but could not really justify the cost. I already have a tiny battery operated thing that just does a simple running stitch. But I've never really got on with it. It's manic...and I've never been able to do a straight line with it...ever!!

So when in Tesco's the other day, I spotted a little, but sturdy sewing machine for £59.99 that does 8 different stitches. Including 3 zig zag stitches...just what I wanted! I had been saving my Tesco club card reward vouchers for some time, and had taken £30's worth of them shopping with me, as they have the double up offer on at the moment on certain departments, including small domestic appliances. So yes, I doubled up my £30 vouchers and got myself a sewing machine!!

So here are the results of my first play. I obviously need more practice but am thrilled with the results. It's a really fab machine. Just the right size... I'm sooo happy!!

I have used one of my new Gorjuss Girl stamps, that you can get at Quixotic Paperie.

I used Copics to colour.

I also used;

Prima papers,

Leone Em ash branch punch,

Go Kreate ovals and scalloped ovals,

Paula Pascaul punchable tag stamps,

Lili Of The Valley sentiment,

Prima butterfly,

Ribbon,

Flowers,

Brads,

Spacers.

I'll put this into:

Sweet Stampin's challenge for 'try something new'....my sewing machine!!

Southern Girls...green & blue

My Mum's Craft Shop....flowers

I think I'll have another play with my new toy later!

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments.

Have a wonderful long weekend!

I've used one of the new Gorjuss Girl stamps, that are no longer made by Sugar Nellie, and are available at Quixotic Paperie.

I coloured her with Copics, and Spica glitter Copics.

The lovely papers are SEI Poppy.

I also used Nestabilities Labels 8, my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, pom pom trim, Prima flowers and pearls.
