You Did It

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in to share the card that I made for my sister-in-law for passing her driving test.

Hippo Birdday

Hello lovely peeps

A clean and simple card to share with you today using a couple of the Happy Hippo stamps by MFT

Chicken Dance

Hello lovely peeps

Another double W fold card to show you today, using the fabulous Chicken Dance stamps from Aall & Create. I just love their mad expressions.

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.

Woodcut Owl

Hello lovely peeps

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

Lawn Fawnatics #124 cards for guys

Paper Stripes

Hello lovely peeps

I saw this card on pinterest and thought what a good idea it would be for using up snippets of paper instead of painting it.

He's a Lumberjack

Hello lovely peeps

I bought these fabulous stamps a few weeks ago (Aall & Create set #463 'The Gentlemen')

 and was having a play swapping their heads around as the beardy guy is my favourite.

Finger Painting

A bit of finger painting today, lol.

I've been watching an old Art Journalling DVD by Kate Crane where she does painty backgrounds with her fingers and thought I would have a go. 

Going round in circles

A bit of 'mixed media' for you today, using Aall & Create stamps.

I had great fun yesterday painting watercolour circles after being inspired by a video on Pinterest by kristina del bano 

Hip hip ...

Hip hip hooray, I'm booked in for my covid jab in 2 days :D
   

I think these guys are celebrating a birthday rather than a vaccination though!

This card is a variation on one I did a few months back with Oddball Shopper from Stamping Bella  and Leonie's "In a Spin" die. These cuties are from stamp set #51 by Olga Heldwein for Aall & Create. 

Mother's Day Daisies

My penultimate Mother's Day card for you today. I can't share my last one until Sunday because my Mum follows my blog (hello Mum!) :D



I've used one of the Daisy Elegance stamps by Tracey Evans for Aall & Create, stamped up with different shades of green distress inks. The background was done with distress oxides smooshed onto watercolour card. 

Anniversary Pigs

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new followers.

I'm thrilled to be a Guest Designer over at Addicted to Stamps today for their latest challenge.

Hanging with my Gnomies

This lockdown is no good for my bank balance, I can't stop buying new stash 😄 

These are Janet Klein's 'Gnomes' from Aall & Create.

 

Chicken Dance

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.
 

A variation on my 'Ham It Up' card from a few days ago, this time using the Chicken Dance stamps from Aall & Create. Aren't they fabulous? They're my current favourite stamp set :D 

As these images are taller than the little pigs I put the Peek a Boo windows vertically on my card.

Monster Reveal

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Just popping in to share the card I made for hubby's 50th. When  you open it the grumpy monster disappears to reveal smiley ones :D

I would have liked to finish the inside properly but I spent so much time working on his BB8 cake that I didn't have enough time left for the card.

Every cloud

Hello lovely peeps, I do hope you are well in these troubling times.

Every cloud has a silver lining. With my hours cut at work because of the coronavirus pandemic I now have some spare time to craft.

I made this card for my nephew's 21st, using stamps, stencils and distress inks.

Thanks for stopping by, stay safe
