Oh My!

My sister, Helen, will be celebrating her birthday on Monday.
Helen is owned by her very bossy cat, Woody.
So I've used part of this digital image by The Paper Shelter, called Oh My! for her card this year...

I coloured the kitty with Promarkers (and added a bit of wink of stella to the pink bows too), before fussy cutting it out, then adding funky foam to the back for dimension.
The HAPPY balloons are from a Mama Elephant stamp set (Celebration Balloons)
The paper is by Lawn Fawn (Perfectly Plaid)

Now, onto the card i've made for Jake to give to her...

I was given a gift of some metal dies. This cat die was in with them.
I teamed it up with a few balloons from that same Mama Elephant stamp set that I used above.
I used metallic sequins and Designer Series Paper from Stampin Up (Tasty Treats).

Birthday dog

It's my friend's birthday next week, and this is the card i've made for her...

I've used one of the dogs and accessories stamps from Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs set, coloured with promarkers.
Happy is from Mama Elephant 'Celebration Balloons', and birthday is from Mama Elephant 'Photo Bomb' stamp set.
I tied some embroidery thread around the dogs tummy and glued the ends to the balloons, then used foam pads to raise the balloons and the dog.
The background was sponged with SU inks, and the shadows added with a promarker.

and another, for my Aunty...

Sorry, but I'm really loving this stamp set right now, and i'm enjoying watercolouring with my distress inks too, because no two cards look identical, so I hope that you don't mind another card using the same stamp set.

I made this card for my Aunty's 70th birthday...

Supplies
Stamp set: Altenew Peony Bouquet
Colouring Medium: Distress inks
Paper: The ScrapCake (sweet childhood)
Dies: Marianne Design Creatables set (Petra's Ornaments); Tattered Lace alphabet

And now, 2 for Laura's birthday!

Our youngest daughter is celebrating her birthday today.
This first card is the one I made for Laura from her dad & me...

I used the same 'Donut Worry' stamp set (by Lawn Fawn) that I used for Emma's card from Jake.
I used the co-ordinating die too.
I coloured the donuts with promarkers, added glossy accents to the icing, and raised them on foam pads to add to the 'box', which has no sides, it's just a strip of patterned paper, scored and folded, with a window cut out using an oblong die. I added acetate behind the window, then re-inforced the paper with card so that the lid could be opened too.

Sentiment: computer generated.
Papers: Stampin Up 'sweet always' dsp (retired); Carta Bella 'its a girl'.
Dies: Lawn Fawn 'donut worry' Lawn Cuts; Spellbinders oblong; Spellbinders D-lites 'victoria corner'.
Other: Glossy Accents; acetate; funky foam (for dimension), small heart punch; clear Wink of Stella.

and here's her card that I made for Jake to give to her...

I used Mama Elephant's Little Cat Agenda stamp set for this one, again, colouring the images with promarkers.
I stamped Happy Birthday (Inkadinkado) above, and die cut 'Sister' for beneath the kitties, they looked to plain though so doodled on them with a white gel pen, and now I think they look too busy!

Paper: Doodlebug 'hello sunshine'.
Dies: Dienamics By the Letter; Paper Smooches 'dots and dashes'; party banner die.
Other: Funky foam (for dimension), Clear Wink of Stella; Uni-Ball Signo white gel pen.

Photo Bomb

Today, i'm sharing a card that I made for my Goddaughter...

I used Mama Elephant's Photo Bomb stamp set, colouring with promarkers.
I wanted the images to look like polaroids, so I used a Sizzix Sizzlit slide mount die, glued the 'photo' behind the aperture, and trimmed it to size.
I took a photo of a section of my corkboard and then printed it off to make the back drop for my polaroids.
The pretty butterfly paper is from a pad called 'Sunny Side' by Pebbles Inc.
The sentiments used are both from the Photo Bomb stamp set too.
