Sending Birthday Love

November's Craftwork Cards Stamp Club kit arrived yesterday and I'm only just getting around to sharing the cards that I made with October's kit!

For this card I used the stamp as it was intended, I coloured it with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.

I added some striped papers from The Lovely Studio and two little strips of black card stock to separate the image from the papers.

Special Wishes

This is another card that I have created with my Simon Says Stamp October 2012 Card Kit.  Everything comes from the kit with the exception of the sentiment stamp.

The bottom panel is actually from the front cover of the paper pad.  I stamped the flower twice on a plain blue paper from the pad and again on pale brown card stock - I wanted to cut the centre out and layer it up.

The sentiment stamp is from Craftwork Cards again.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.

Happy Birthday Wishes

The new Craftwork Cards Stamp Club kit will be out soon and I'm just getting around to sharing the cards that I made with this month's kit!

I have stamped the top half of the stamp and coloured it with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens.

The sentiment is from The DigiStamp Boutique, I printed it on white card stock and cut it to size. I just added a narrow strip of black card stock between the stamped image and the white panel.

Birthday Wishes

I have finally had a play with my Simon Says Stamp October 2012 Card Kit.  Yes, you did read that correctly - the October 2012 kit, I have a couple of years worth of these kits and most of them have not been touched.  I have decided to start working my way through them.

I really like these papers and the colours, the card stock is also part of the kit.  I stamped the flower onto the card stock and fussy cut it.

I cut the little scalloped border with a Clearly Besotted die and the sentiment is a Craftwork Cards stamp.

Magic and Sparkle

This is another of the simple Christmas cards that I have been creating with my Dovecraft Magic & Sparkle papers, these cards are perfect for posting.

I have used papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and fussy cut the beautiful stag from the cover of the 12 x 12 paper pad.

I cut the circle with spellbinders dies and added a LOTV sentiment, I finished my card with some pearls.

I would like to enter this card into the October Rudolf Days Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes.

Elegant Frame

This is the third card that I have created with the Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps, as you can probably tell I love these stamps!

For this card I have simply coloured the image with ProMarkers and placed it behind a die cut frame that has been attached to a square cut with a Sue Wilson stitched square die.

I have used foam pads to layer everything up and just added some pearls to the corners of the frame.

Happy 50th Anniversary

This is another of the cards that I created for the latest edition of Simply Cards & Papercraft, I was sent the Apple Blossom Large Numbers and Suffixes die set along with the matching stamp set.

I used some beautiful papers from the First Edition The Promise 8 x 8” Paper Pad and cut the decorative frame from gold Miri card with my Tattered Lace Shabby Offset Rectangles Die.

I heat embossed a Papermania Anniversary Sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and cut it into a banner shape.  To embellish I added some pearls and a bow.

Have a fabulous Birthday

This is another card that I have created with my Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps. I got this idea from Pinterest, I quite often get ideas from Pinterest but my card never ends up looking even close to the inspiration card.

I stamped the beautiful image onto white card stock and then stamped it another two times onto some scraps.  I coloured the main image with ProMarkers leaving the very outside sections plain.

I then coloured the leaf and flower areas on one of the additional images and just the flower on the second.  I fussy cut the two extra images and layered them onto the main image with foam pads.

I then stamped a sentiment from one of the previous stamp club collections and layered everything onto some black card stock before adding it to a card base.

A very Merry Christmas

I have been creating some simple Christmas cards with my Dovecraft Magic & Sparkle papers, these cards are relatively flat - perfect for posting.

I have used papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and fussy cut the beautiful stag from the cover of the 12 x 12 paper pad.

The sentiment stamp has unfortunately lost is packaging so I'm not sure who is is from.  I hand cut the banner and added some pearls to embellish.

Wishing you a Happy Day

I have been playing with my Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps again, this is the second one of the set that I use to create my earlier cards.

I've kept to a CAS design again, colouring my stamp with rich yellow and gold ProMarkers and adding some dotty papers from my stash.

The sentiment is also from the stamp set, I cut it into a banner shape and doodled around the edges to make is stand out a bit more.

Jolly Snowman

I have created this cute Christmas card using the Helz Cuppleditch Decoupage Pad and 6 x 6 Paper pack.

The image is a decoupage image, I layered it up using foam pads and used red card stock as a base for everything.

The sentiment is from the decoupage pack, I added some die cut snowflakes, gems and twine with two little bells attached.

Coming Home for Christmas

I really need to get on and make some Christmas cards or it's going to be the last minute rush again this year!  I have created this Dutch Fold card using the Craftwork Cards Peppermint Forest collection - I love these pretty colours.

There are three of each topper in the collection so I decided to create a pyramage image.  I used circle dies to cut the two smaller layers and fussy cut the car from the bottom layer as it would be covered up.  I layered everything up using foam pads and mounted it onto a scalloped circle which is dark grey to match the papers.

I cut the sentiment from the toppers cover page and added some die cut snowflakes and gems.

This is the inside panel of the card, I used one of the large sentiments from the collection.

Birthday Stars

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, it's the dreaded one layer week and the theme is Stars.

I used four stamp sets to create this simple card!  The sentiment is from Creative Expressions, the large stars are from the Clearly Besotted Superstar stamp set, the smallest solid stars are from the Clearly Besotted Many Thanks stamp set and the larger solid stars are from the Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm stamp set.

I used Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink - these inks stamp up beautifully.

I would like to enter this card into this weeks Less is More Challenge #350 - One Layer Stars.

For a Special Friend

Another pretty card to share today, I have used the Craftwork Cards Shabby Chic Collection Pack to create a shaker card.

I used the Country Charm Template to create my flowers, I traced around the large and small flower several times and fussy cut them.  I layered them up and added small rolled flowers from the Shabby Chic collection to the centre of each flower.

The sentiment banner is also from the collection, I cut another banner from the dotty papers.  I added a butterfly that was die cut from the same dotty papers.
