CAS Birds

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

A quick card to share with you today, using the Collectables Birds dies by Marianne Designs.

Ribbit

Hello lovely peeps

For today's card I stamped Pen Pattern Frog (Stampendous) onto white shrink plastic with black stazon. Once the ink was dry I coloured it in with pencils and cut it out before shrinking with a heat gun.

The Ribbit sentiment is from the Be Hoppy stamp set from Aall & Create.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:-

Crafty Animals  #67 Anything Goes always with animal

Monochrome Leaf

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

I finally got back in my craft room after an absence of several months (more on that later) so that I could make a card for my Guest Designer spot today at AAA Birthday 

This month's challenge theme is 'Monochrome'

You can use shades of any one colour (and it has to be a birthday card). Given the autumnal feel to the weather at the moment I went for orange.    

Blooming Tired

Hello lovely peeps

Sorry I've been so quiet - I've been working 3 different jobs for the last 3 weeks so I have had very little time or energy for crafting.  But as of today I have just my new job so I will have my crafty time back again. Yay!

Today's card is using paper scraps from the Bird Song paper pad from First Edition. I used to store my papers in colour families but aside from it looking pretty it didn't really work for me as I struggled to find a co-ordinating paper when I was working on something.    

Wire Bird

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.



An Aall & Create card to share with you today. There's a challenge finishing soon over on Tracy Evan's Facebook page called 'Winged Friends', so I thought I'd have a bash at making something.

Writing with Dominoes

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Just popping in to share the birthday card I made for my cousin, using the 'Domino' stamp set by Tracey Hey. I love all the cute little critters (though I'm not sure what the one I've coloured dark brown actually is, lol).

Icecream of course

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.
 

I've made a card for the current As You Like It challenge 'Favourite Food & why' - which is, of course, icecream. I usually fancy something sweet after a meal and icecream is my go-to dessert. 

The best icecream I ever had was in Mousehole, it was rhubarb and ginger. I was so gutted they didn't do that flavour the next time I visited. Regular portions of coffee and/or salted caramel icecream soften the blow a little :D 

Woodcut Owl

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in to share the card I've made for the latest Lawn Fawn challenge.

Eighteenth Birthday

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.



I made this 18th birthday card for my cousin's daughter, using the Brush Alphabet dies from Sizzix designed by Debi Potter. 

Sunday Papers

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.
 

Today's card features one of the Simply Prints from Lili of the Valley that was on their mega bundle, it's called 'Sunday Papers'. 

Birthday Balloon

Hello lovely peeps
 

For today's card I've used the Animal Balloons digi stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller. To make a more CAS card I cropped the image to remove the bunny/mouse and other balloons.

Hello lovely peeps
 

Just popping in quickly with a card I made for the current TIME OUT Challenge

Pig Tower

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in with a card I made with the fabulous pig from the 'Down on the Farm' set by Stamping Bella.  I stamped him at the top of a piece of ultra smooth 200gsm paper then covered him with a post-it note mask to stamp the one underneath (... and repeat).

Hello Pension

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

I made this card for a husband and wife who have retired at the same time. 

Doing a Flip for Spring

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well. 

Spring is definitely on the way here in Somerset. It's getting warmer, the birds are singing and flowers are starting to pop up everywhere.   

Today I've got a flip card to share with you, with a bit of fussy cutting thrown in.

Mermaid Shimmer

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

For today's card I've used one of the Mermaid Gang images from All Dressed Up, coloured with Graph-It and Copic markers.

The background papers and embellishments are from a CraftArtist digikit called Mermaid Shimmer 
and I've added some sequins for a bit of bling.

Happily Ever After

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are all well.

 

I was asked to make a card for a cinema engineer getting married and hit on the idea of doing a wedding scene on a cinema screen, complete with an audience watching.

Hello Old Chaps

Hello lovely peeps, long time no see :D

Sorry I haven't been around blogland for a while. Since I started a second job I've not found much time for crafting, let alone blogging. I hope you've all been keeping OK, I'll try to pop around and visit you all soon.
