Grandad's Birthday Card

Finally I have finished my Grandad's birthday card! It's taken me all day on and off, I had to keep coming back to it as I really didn't know what to do with it. I'm quite pleased with the result, although don't look too closely as I accidentally put my finger in the glossy accents I used on the water when it was drying- oops.

Its a 8x8 sized card (made from an A3 sheet of blue card cut to size). The letter are chipboard covered with doodlebug sugarcoating, the papers are DCWV. The stamp is a new one I bought at Ally Pally yesterday, its by Rubberneckers and was only £3- what a bargain!

The sentiments are computer generated, it says you're good at so many things.. But you're best at being my grandad. This is the inside:

Second post of the day.

I just wanted to upload this card I made with my new stamp from Funky Kits designed by Elisabeth Bell called Pen Pal, water coloured with whispers. The paper is Homespun by A Tanabe and was downloaded a while ago, unfortunately i cannot find a link for it now. Flowers are Primas, the charm is from an old bracelet.

I think it needs a sentiment on the bottom left corner but cant decide what to put so will wait until I have a use for it and then decide what to put there.

Friday Sketchers Tilda

This is my entry for the Friday Sketchers blog challenge, I hope I got all the elements right

I got the Tilda in an image swap from Laura, the papers, buttons, pin and ribbons are from my stash, the fabric flowers are from papermania.

Leah

I've made two different cards using this stamp, The first is made with spring type colours, I think the papers were free with a magazine, the stamp is whipper snappers Leah, the flowers are prima and have been glittered with my new sugar coating from doodlebug, which is sooo scrummy and looks too nice to use, the button is also doodlebug.
The second card has been done using the same stamp but has a more autumnal feel to it. the papers are 'Robyn' from Reminisce, I originally bought them to use for men's cards, but saw a card using similar papers on a girly card and so thought I'd give it a go. The flowers are the same prima ones used in the above cards but have been coloured with my ink pads to match the paper, it the first time I've tried this and think it worked quite well, they have also been glittered with sugar coating. The buttons are from my stash, and the dog is another whipper snappers stamp called 'little puppy' I got it from the same ebay seller as the stamp i used in the last post, it was such a good price I couldn't say no to myself!

Ive used my nesties for the circle and scalloped circle, I've also inked the edge of the cards to match the papers used. Leah and the little puppy are on foam pads, as are the circle mats she's on. I've used glossy accents on her shoes, the teddy's nose and the dog's nose.

Mum card

My mum asked me to make her a card for my nans birthday, so here it is. I've used papers from Summertime Designs once again, ribbon from chatterbox, buttons, pin and pearls from stash, prima flowers, computer generated sentiment using ASL Script font, chipboard letters from a Brenda Pinnick kit. And some close ups:

My mum wanted a sentiment for the inside so i chose this one and decorated it with the same papers:

Shabby Chic engagement

I've gone all Shabby Chic at the moment and am adding pins and buttons to everything! My mum asked me to make and engagement card for her best friends son, who is marrying a girl I went to school with and haven't seen in years- so I tried my hardest to make it good! What do you think?

And the inside.


Papers are free downloads from Summertime Designs Beautimous kit, computer generated wording with the font ASL Script, ribbon from chatterbox, prima flowers, heart cut with a template from perfect petals from craftwork cards, glittered with an iridescent glitter (I love using glitter but end up with it everywhere so don't use it very often!) button and pin are from my stash, added a bead to the end of the pin so its not sharp.

I even decorated the envelope and back of the card!
