I thought I would catch on showing you all my son's birthday cards

First is James's birthday, which was back March.

Image is by Inky Antics, colored with Copics. Dienamics button die.

This little fellow is from Lily Of The Valley, he's soo sweet. Once again colored with Copics. Papers are by Papermania- Wellington.

Short and sweet post tonight. Have a good night!

Turtle Love

I know, I know its been awhile.

I could tell you what has been going on but it's such a long story...

Anyways this is a card I did a little while ago for a child at school so its a pretty clean and simple little thing.

The image is by Whipper Snapper, they are soo cute. I stamped it on watercolor paper and colored it with my Stampin Up Markers

The backing paper was done using Goosebumps Shimmer Texture Spray. All I have done is drip it on a piece of cardstock by undoing the bottle and dripping it on. I wanted bigger spots than just spraying. Once it has dried I have then simply sponged the color on over the top.

I have tried to keep the sponging uneven to create abit of extra something on the panel.

Thanks for looking.
   

I have a quick little card for you tonight. I made this for a little girl at school, so nothing too flash.

She loves to put clips and things in her hair and this image reminds me of her each time I see it. It is a Sweet Pea image that belongs to my friend.

I hope you like it.

She is coloured using Copics just a little bit. Had to have abit of sparkle on her tum, wings and wording.

Thanks for looking.

I have a couple of little cards for you today.

A friend of mine is doing a craft market for her school. She invited us over to play and help her out. These are the cards I did for her.

It makes it easy to write this when all stamps were Inkadinkadoo- purely accidentally. Ink was by ColorBox or Stazon. She really needed Versafine but we worked with what she had. Never the less I would suspect she will be looking for one soon. She will love it when she gets it. I noticed she had alot of stamps that were abit on the fine side.

So the pay off was that I would be putting the cards I made on the blog. :)
 

  So you can see the wording isn't quite perfect. But I do like it. I don't own the owl but I might have to make a few of these with some another stamp.

I just made one of these. My friend can make more at a later date. I do like this stamp as well... Doh! I feel some shopping coming on...


The next card is a version of one by Teresa Abajo. I LOVE the idea of a bandaid on a card. So I hope she doesn't mind...

I don't have a pic of Teresa's to show you anymore. But hers had some circles on it and the sentiment was raised up.

Next time I would put a smaller round bit of "padding" but I still LOVE it.

This card was a birthday day for a friend. Clean and simply.

  This was a card I made using the a die by Marianne Designs. Abit of sponging and grid stamp randomly stamped over the base.

Thank for looking.

Hi all,

Things have been very crazy round here, I won't bore you with the details way toooo long!!

Any who I just things have been alot better for you guys.

The first card  I have is not an original. I made a while ago so I can't give any credit to anyone.

Seam Binding is Stampin Up Cherry Cobbler with a Kaisercraft pearl brad. Stamp are also from Stampin Up Aviary set. Cardstock is Crumb cake 

This is my mother in law birthday card. Image is Stampin Up I think Eastern Blooms, but don't quote me on that- its retired anyway. :) Ribbon is a retiring  the stripe Grosgrain Ribbon, so let me know if you wish to get some.

 

As you can see it is abit of a catch up post. My mojo left last month with no forwarding address so I thought I might do some multi posting- if there is such a word. lol Trying to entice it back.

A llittle bit of resist work- got to love resist. I borrowed a friends Poly sparkle embossing powder, me thinks I need to get me some of this. It gives a slight sparkle to the embossing. Background is Hero Arts and the sentiment is by Tim Holtz- Life's Possibilities collection.

A bit of distress ink sponging and bobs your uncle.

Next up is a baby card I got the idea on splitcoaststampers.

Thanks for looking

Sepia Hedgehog

Quick post, I went to my Tria club today got a very cute image you will see once it is all finished.

I tried something new with this card, coloured with Sepia colours. Out of my square that is sure but I had fun stepping out!

This is my card.

Cardstock is Early Expresso and Crumb Cake. I'm not sure who the image is from, but it is very cute. Papers are from Basic Grey called "Little Black Dress". Ribbon is Stampin Up Early Expresso Satin and Crumb Cake Seam Binding.

Thanks for looking.

A Little Bit of Eye Candy

Just a little bit of eye candy of a crafty nature...

One of my friends had a little boy recently and this was the card I made for them.

 I coloured him with Copics.G21,24 and 40 for his B00,000 for the sky effect. B93,95,97 for the cake and balloon, and E41,40,47,43 for the ground.

Stamp is from Stampin Up- Elebration 125050. Cute isn't he? Cardstock was Marina Mist.


This little guy is sooo cute, he is from Papermania. His name is Wellington.

He is coloured with Copics. Wellington is coloured with E40,41,43,47 and the chair is E19,17,15 and 13.

I was told I had to do a ATC for the "to be"owner of the card, so this is the matching ATC.  Such a cute image. I didn't mark down the blue colours I used but probably the B93 etc.

Thanks for sharing
