Fab Flowers

I treated myself to this Fab Flowers stamp set by Lawn Fawn, and chose to make this card using some warm colours...

I used Memento Dew Drop inks, hand cut them out and layered them to make this bouquet.
The text paper is MME's Stella Rose 'Mabel' (an old, retired collection).
The sentiment is a Birthday Banners die by Tonic Studios.

Inlaid roses

I bought a rose die recently, I wanted to make a clean card for my friend's birthday using just white card, the die, promarkers, and a greeting. Oh and a few Nuvo drops to finish...

I die cut the rose 3 times from the same base card, overlapping the bottom 2 roses, then coloured the inner pieces with Promarkers. I added double-sided tape to another piece of card and attached it to the inner side of the front of the card, exposing the areas where the die cuts needed to puzzle piece back into place.
It's by no means perfect, but I like it, and that's the whole point of a handmade card anyway. I'll be having another go at this technique soon.

Football Bears

I do love Lili of the Valley's cute images, and these Football Bears are no exception...

I don't think you can buy this stamp from the website anymore, I bought mine from their Ebay outlet shop.
I coloured the bears in West Bromwich Albion's colours for a friend who's a fan of the club (We won't mention the terrible season they're having eh?)
Paper is Stella Rose 'Hattie' by MME.
Die cut football is an old Quickutz one (Soccer Ball).

Adorable Elephants

Hello! I'm a bit late, but .. Happy 2018 to you all xx

I'm back with a card that I've made for my friend's daughter...

I've used images from the aptly named Adorable Elephants stamp set by My Favorite Things. I had to do a bit of masking to add the balloons, and coloured the final image with Promarkers, adding spectrum noir clear glitter to the balloons and butterflies.
The sentiment is Birthday Banners die by Tonic Studios, I also added glitter to the lettering.
The bright, fun, pretty paper is by Doodlebug (Hello Sunshine).

Thanks for looking xx

Happy Birthday RJ :)

We have 3 wonderful grandsons. The middle one, Richard Jnr (RJ), is 3 today.
This is his card...

This image is Mo's Two Toby, and even though RJ is 3, he found being 2 quite an ordeal, the terrible 2's as they call it, was something that we as a family certainly can relate to, as i'm sure many families across the world can relate to also.
This image reminds me so much of him through this past year, so I just had to use it. I know it will make my daughter and son-in-law giggle, although they were not laughing at the time as you can imagine, lol.
I coloured the image with promarkers, then fussy cut around it.
The papers are Perfectly Plaid (Rainbow), and Watercolor Wishes.
Other supplies are: By the Number die (Die-namics), Crafts Too die (Grandson), Craftwork Cards (Label Tape Sentiments), Sizzix sticthed oval thinlit die, and a stitched star die.

and here is RJ's card made for Uncle Jake to give to him...

RJ's new love is Paw Patrol, so I had to make a card with Chase on it.
I grabbed the image off Google (it's for personal use only), and coloured it with promarkers.
I embossed the background with a paw print folder by Darice, and the starry paper is by Doodlebug (hip Hip Hooray).
I hand cut the shield, then added Dienamics letters on top.
'Nephew' is from an old stamp set by Clearly Besotted Stamps (For everyone).

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).
