CAS Birthday Fishes

Hello lovely peeps

My panda card from a couple of weeks ago won the 'Hugs' challenge over at 
Clean and Simple on Friday so this week I have the great pleasure of being their Guest Designer.  

The challenge theme this time is 'Nature'.

Panda Hugs and Kisses

Hello lovely peeps

Another CAS card today using one of the Panda Pals stamps by MFT.

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

I Sea

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

It was a gorgeous day here yesterday (if a bit cold still). Makes me hopeful that Spring is on the way. 

Today's card is another unusual fold/seaside theme, this one is called a Double W Fold. We did these at cardmaking club at the end of last year and they're so effective that I thought this would be an ideal fold for doing my friend's 'big' birthday card.

Fast Track

Hello lovely peeps



Today's make is a rocker card with vellum, inspired by an old challenge at Lift Challenge.

I used some of the characters in the 'Fast Track Friends' stamp set and matching dies from My Favorite Things and used Copic markers to colour them in.

Building Blocks

Hello lovely peeps

In February's card club session Kristi kindly showed us how to make building block cards. 

Here's one that I finished this week. 

Tyre Swing

Hello lovely peeps

This is my entry for the Innovation Master category over at the MFT 'Card Design Superstar' competition.

Fast Track Couple

Hello lovely peeps
 

There's a fab 'Card Design Superstar' competition going on at MFT right now with $4000 worth of prizes. You can enter one card in up to 3 categories - CAS Genius, Coloring Virtuoso or Innovation Master. 

On Safari

Hello lovely peeps

I've been having a play with some of my new MFT stamps, 'Sweet safari' and

'Sunshine and Friendship', plus an appearance from another Zippy Zebra.

Feeling fall

Hello lovely peeps

It's coming up to that time of the year - the trees are starting to shed and I'll soon be like a little kid kicking up the leaves on the pavement :D

Scooter Life

Hello lovely peeps



A CAS card to share today using one of the fabulous Zippy Zebras by MFT.

hap-pea birthday

Hello lovely peeps

For today's card I've used the adorable 'Be Hap-pea' stamp set by Lawn Fawn.

Chilling

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Phew, it's been scorching here for the last week. Like these little 'Penguins in Paradise' (MFT) I normally love being out in the sunshine but it's been too hot for me this time.

 

Thankfully the heat wave has passed and it's lovely and cool here today. 

This is the card I gave to my neighbour for her birthday yesterday.

Bear Hug

A quick post today to get my card in for a challenge that's closing.

I've used masking again to split the sentiment up and to stamp the groups of trees.

Snappy Birthday

A quick post from me today to show you a card made with the 'Watch the Birdie' digi stamp from Lili of the Valley.
 

I coloured him in with Copic markers and cut him out (he has a little birdie on top of his head but I chopped it off)

MFT Comic Strip

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

 

One of my favourite challenges for inspiration is the MFT Sketch Challenge, the designers always adapt the sketch so well. When I saw the sketch for this week it reminded me a little of a comic strip on it's side

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.

Ham it Up

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

Now we are in lockdown again I'm spending more time in my craft room. I wanted to make a snippets card for Pixie's Snippets Playground - Di is giving away some amazing prizes in her annual giveaway. 

Hog heaven

Hello lovely peeps

I've made a spinner card with the images from Hog Heaven by MFT

Since I've hardly been in my craft room for the last year, I couldn't remember where on earth my transparent cord was, so I used some white cotton to suspend the image inside the circle.

Deer to Me

Hello lovely peeps

I didn't expect to do a second post today but as I was making this card I realized that the MFT challenge that I wanted to enter it in was about to close :o)
