Papercraft Secrets with Di's Digis

 A Facebook group I belong to, Papercraft Secrets - Creating with Confidence, has a monthly challenge.  April's theme is FAMILY.  I am using these prompts to decorate my monthly DT journal which documents what I create.  I decided to look through my Di's Digis to find a stamp to suit this theme. The digital stamp I chose is "Garden Friends", however I could not find it in the shop, it must be discontinued. I also wanted to use the Easter papers Alicia from Papercraft Secrets gave us on the Patreon subscription.  Here is the result.

A New Kid on the Block

 I would love you to check out this new Etsy shop,  A & Jj Designs .  

At the moment there is a 25% sale.

I can't get over the quality of these papers and images when printed.  You need to take a look yourself, as these products are out of this world.

Here is a few of my cards and journal pages I have made with these products.  I am so impressed with them, I have decided to dedicate a whole journal to A & Jj Designs creations. I will leave some space in the journal for writing.

SheepSki Designs April Blog Challenge

 Welcome to our April Blog Challenge #85 Anything Goes.  This month I am working with "Coffee Break Image No. 132".  

My base cardstock is brown and I have used a clipart called Coffee Shop from ThursdayPrintsMY as the background.  Coffee Break is mounted in position with part of a doily sticker as a tablecloth.  The coffee sentiment (freebie at the time) is from Creative Fabrica.

The Outlawz Progressive Challenge

 This month's progressive challenge is sponsored by Kathy A.  Thank you Kathy, what a great image to work with - "Little Viking".  She also gifted us a little girl viking, but this time I chose the boy for a masculine card.  I have coloured him with pencils and the shield clipart is from ThursdayPrintsMY and I placed the sentiment in the middle of it.  The background paper is from AandJJ Designs.

Beccy's Place March 2024 Blog Challenge

 This month I followed the optional Bingo grid for my creation. I went with the diagonal - colour with pencils, use a digital stamp and make it monochrome.

I have used "Gerbera Set" but I forgot it is discontinued.  I know Beccy has to make room for her new stamps, but I am so glad I got this digital set before it went to the vault.

The Outlawz Progressive Challenge for February

 Thank you to The Outlawz Challenges and Sandra for the image "Woven Heart".  Here is my creation.

I have also used a journal page for the background from Back to the Source.  The patchwork cat is from my stash however, it was one of those images in my download files.  I can't remember the artist so I can file it properly and thank them, but I just know it was purrfect for Sandra's image.

Beccy's Place February Blog Challenge

 This month's challenge is challenging me to add washi tape to my creation.  I could not go past those beautiful silhouettes "Cat Tails" when I spent my prize from last month.  I love cats but the silhouettes have tails.  My cat Emmie doesn't have a tail.  She was a rescue kitten and they told me she had manx in her and she only has a little stumpy tail.  It looks like a rabbit's tail when she runs.  Anyhow enough of Emmie, here is my February Blog Challenge creation.

I have made an insert inside the card to make the front.  I hope you can see my paw washi tape.
