Fathers Day Card for the Die Cuts Dreams Challenge

This is my card for Father's Day for my Dad. I'm also entering it in the Die Cuts Dreams Challenge which has the theme 'Greenfingers'. The pictures haven't turned out quite as I would have wanted but I'll keep practicing. The decoupage image is from Craft UK as is the background paper on the inside. The card is made from a sheet of Bazill Basics (colour Guacamole). The backing papers and ribbon on the front were from a blog candy I won a while back. If you follow the links you'll see the items available in my shop, http://www.donnasdenofcrafts.co.uk/.

And the winner is......

Well after checking everyone's blogs to make sure there was a link then numbering all the entries I finally have a winner.....

 

Number 14 was Julie from Julies Crafty Creations.  Congratulations Julie, send your address to blogcandy@donnasden.co.uk and I'll post your items out straight away.  Thanks to everyone who left me comments and better luck next time.  My shop counter is nearly at 5,000 so there'll probably be some candy soon on my other blog, http://donnasdenofcrafts.blogspot.com

100th Visitor Candy

I've reached my 100th visitor point which I'm really pleased about so I decided to celebrate with a little bit of Blog Candy. As we are devoted to 'Cards for Men' the candy is made up of the more masculine ranges.

There's a 6x6 pack of Dovecraft Masculine and Abstract papers, a DCWV 4.5x6.5 Metallic Stack, a pack of 5 Embossed cards 'Sports' with envelopes, 'Masculine' funky brads and a packet of Metallic Brads.

The closing date for entrants is midnight BST on 14th June. I'll post first class so that you can finish off those last minute Father's Day cards. To be in with a chance leave a comment on this post and add a link on your blog. If you want to become a follower that's great but not required. Good luck.

P.S. if you don't win all of these products are sold in my shop, Donna's Den of Crafts. We'd love to see you pop in.

Sporty Billy Stamps

Take a look over at Pink Cat Studio for details of how to win their forthcoming range of 'Billy' stamps. If their other stamps are anything to go by we're in for a treat.

Another inspiring blog.

I've followed Nikki's blog for a long time and find her work to be fun and inventive.  Here are some great examples,

 
 

As you can see her cards are clean and crisp and if you take a hop over to her blog you'll find a good mix of male and female cards.  Thanks very much Nikki for letting me show your work.

Sorry...it's been a while.

I know it's been a while since I've updated any of my blogs. I've just been so busy the last few weeks and to top it all I hurt my hand which has made me reluctant to use the computer too much. I have been researching though and have a line up of great cards to show you that I have found whilst blog-hopping.

First up is Katharina Frei who I'm sure you will have seen before. Her blog Stamping with a Whiff of Joy showcases some great work using the stamps sold by her own company. I really love this particular card that she made for her son's birthday.

The calendar wheel is available from Maya Road and you can get all the details about Katharina's card here. I'll be back later in the week with more fab cards and hopefully I will have some of my own. Thanks so much Katharina for letting me show your work.

Great card and blog candy over at In My Minds Eye

This wonderful card is NOT mine.  I saw it over on Kadie's blog In My Mind's Eye.  She's giving away some blog candy until 21st April so hop on over and take a look.

I think the theme of her card and colours are great for our men's cards and I will certainly be following her blog more.

Back soon.....
