MMCSDT - Love is in the air!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a lovely Weekend and a good start to the week so far. I have been really busy these past couple of weeks doing work on my kitchen. We have tiled, painted, changed handles on cupboards, sanded worktops and it is nearly done. Hopefully I will have a little more time for crafting again soon. In the meantime, I am sharing the card I made for my lovely Boyfriend for Valentine's day using the Stamping Bella close up - In Love stamp from My Mum's Craft shop. It is currently out of stock at the moment but there are lots of other equally gorgeous Stamping Bella stamps available here.

I used some very pretty Carta Bella papers from my stash for the card and layered the centre panel on to red card before adding some stitching. I used some hemp ribbon to wrap the panel before adding lots of pretty embellishements and a sentiment from Hero Arts.

Here is a little close up of the image. I love all he details, Stamping Bella images are really so lovely to colour in! I hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

A Birthday card for a very busy guy

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a good week so far.. It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today and I am showing a card I made for a good Friend using Stamping Bella Uptown Girls - Calvin Loves His Computer from My Mum's Craft Shop. Unfortunately it is out of stock at the moment but there are lots of fabulous other Stamping Bella stamps in stock here.

I coloured the image in using Promarkers to match the papers I used which are from a Carta Bella pad. I uses a simple layout and added some wooden stars, a stick on pearl and some tiny spotty buttons from my stash.

I die cut the image using a Spellbinders die and added the sentiment from the set and a 'Happy Birthday' from my stash which matched it perfectly. I had so much fun making this card. I love the detailed image, it was such a great one to colour in! I hope you have a lovely Friday.

Happy Birthday Fiona!

Hello Everyone! It's was my lovely Best Friend's Birthday yesterday and I made her a card using the fabulous Stamping Bella 'Beatrice and Barbara' stamp which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I coloured the image to match the Wild Rose Studio papers I used using a mix of different markers and paper pieced the sofa and cushions.

I added lots of lovely flowers and bits and bobs from my stash and a Pink Petticoat sentiment. I also decorated the inside but I forgot to take a photo. I used the latest Sketch Saturday Sketch for my layout.

Here is a close up of my image. My colouring is a bit poor on this one, the image has so many details I struggled to stay within the lines! This is a very true representation of Fiona and myself, lots of fun times, giggle and adventures, she is the Sister I never had and I love her to bits. We are setting off on another one soon to Birmingham to see Robbie Williams.

This is us on one of our Adventures last summer to see Robbie at Wembley and is one of my favourite photos of us together. I will be taking a bit of break from regular blogging for a short while as I have a lot on my plate at the moment but I hope to be back here a lot more often when things have settled down. Have a lovely Wednesday!

A Glamorous 18th Birthday

Hello Everyone and a Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely Mums out there! It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today and I am sharing the card I made for lovely niece Shannon who turned 18 last week. I used the very glamorous 'Posh has a Present' image from Stamping Bella as the image on my card and coloured it in with Promarkers and paper pieced her dress and bag.

The papers I have used are by Echo Park and are from the 'Splendid Sunshine' Pad. I layered them all onto bright pink card and added stitching around the edges. The skinny pink ribbon is a very old one from my stash I bought from Create and Craft when I first started cardmaking. I used 'A La Modes Big Birthday numbers for the 18, cutting them out when I had stamped them onto pink paper. The sentiment is a matching one from the set.

Here is a close up of the image. I love paper piecing the Stamping Bella images and giving them pretty patterned dresses. I finished the card with some flowers from my stash and some stick on gems.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Claudia has a Candy

Hello Everyone! It's my day for posting on the My Mum's craft Shop blog today and I am starting off another Inspiration week. We will all be showing you Projects with a 'Sweet treats' theme. I have used the very pretty 'Claudia has a Candy' Stamping Bella stamp on my card. I coloured her in with my Promarkers and used papers from the very aptly named My Mind's Eye The sweetest thing - Lavender pad.

I used lots of flowers on my card and a couple of very pretty wooden buttons and used the sentiment that came with Claudia. The gorgeous bow was cut using the new Dienamics Beautiful bows die. 

Here is a close up of the very lovely Claudia, I cut her out leaving a small border and then added her to my card with foam pads. I hope you have enjoyed my little Sweet treat today, make sure you join us next week for some more Sweet inspiration from the Design Team Have a lovely Sunday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Vienna and her Vespa

Good Morning Everyone! It's my day to share a card on the My Mum's Craft Shop Blog today!  I hope you are having a good week so far and the Sun is shining where you are. I am really enjoying the warm weather, it is so lovely to drive to work and home in the blazing sunshine instead of the rain. It makes such a difference to my day. I only wish I had a Vespa like Vienna on my card! I have used one of the lovely new Uptown Girl images on my card this week. She is very glamorous and is available to buy here from My Mum's Craft Shop.

I coloured Vienna in with my Promarkers to match these gorgeous Echo Park papers from the 'So Happy Together' pad. I love the papers in this collection. They are a great mix of papers with some also suitable for Men's cards as well as the feminine flowery papers. I added some funky ribbon and a button from The Ribbon girl and some stick on pearls and finished with a Stamping Bella sentiment and some little papers flowers to match the bright summery colours. I hope you have a lovely Thursday! I have a day off on Friday! I can't wait!
