You're Aces With Me!

It's Wednesday, so it's that time of the week again... mid-week inspiration for From The Heart Stamps.
This week i'm using the image Birdbrain Card Sharks...

This is the card that my Son gave to my Dad for Father's Day.
It's been a while since I made a stepper card, so I decided to give it a go. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to buy myself a stepper card die so that it's all ready to decorate and I don't have to think about measurements. But then I suppose if you do it yourself by hand then you can alter the size of the card itself as well as the 'step' sizes too.
I coloured my image using promarkers, colouring the card backs similar to the paper that I chose, which is from a very old paper pad (probably 6 years or more) by Sizzix, called Little Sizzles, Country.
The sentiment at the bottom is one of ELEVEN that you get with the image.
'Grandad' was stamped using a stamp from a Fizzy Moon set (All About Him).

I'm his Leia.

It's my husband's birthday tomorrow, and I'm using this image for his card this year... Han & Leia by MayzyArt, and it's a freebie too! My hubby likes the Star Wars films so this is perfect.

I coloured it using my promarkers, then fussy cut out.
The papers are from MME (Stella & Rose, Hattie) although the text paper at the bottom is a scrap left over from a digi paper that I colourised a while ago.
I framed these papers with brown funky foam strips that I 'sort of' made to look like a belt by setting eyelets into it.
The greeting is a punched heart from silver mirror card, a 'u' cut using a By The Letter die, and 'Husband' stamped from a Fizzy Moon stamp set.

Fizzy Moon snoozes

Mornin all :)
What vile weather we've been having eh?
the wettest 'drought' ever ;D

It's time for another sketch saturday chalenge, this week we're sponsored by the fabulous The Craft Barn where you can spend a generous gift voucher if you are our lucky winner :)
Here's my card...

The image is by Fizzy Moon, and has been coloured with watercolour pencils.
I think this image is fabulous, it's perfect for my Dad who does actually nod off to sleep with a book or a newspaper in his hands lol.
The text and striped papers are are from my Kanban male backgrounds CD, I adjusted the contrast of the blue papers down a bit to get a darker shade.
The navy blue cardstock has been embossed with my argyle folder.
The birthday wishes sentiment is by SU, from their fun and fast notes set, 'Dad' is handwritten.

Thanks for stopping by today, have a fab weekend xx

Fizzy Christmas

Time for another Sketch Saturday challenge! and this week, we are sponsored by the fab, Simon Says Stamp!

To be in with a chance of winning a whopping $25 to spend in their awesome store, all you have to do is take part in this weeks sketch challenge, easy peasy!...

I recently bought myself a couple of Fizzy Moon festive stamp sets.

This one is called Little Messages, isn't he adorable?...

A simple card to make, I coloured Fizzy with SU markers, dotting the colour to get a look similar to fur.

The papers are all from the same paper stack by My Mind's Eye (Gertie).

The sentiments are also from the same stamp set along with some others, you choose your own message.

The gifts and bauble embellishments were hand cut from the same paper as well as co-ordinating kraft and metallic card too.

Looking at them now, maybe I should have added a little bow to the top of each gift box? might add those before sending the card.
