Love Notes

I have been playing with some of my NitWit papers for a change, I used the pretty Francis collection.

I printed the topper several times so that I could fussy cut lots of layers, I also fussy cut the border and added papers and a sentiment from the collection.

Eleanor

I have another 50th Birthday card to share today, this time I used papers and elements from the NitWit Eleanor collection.

I printed the beautiful flowers several times so that I could fussy cut them and layer them up with foam pads, the sentiment is from The DigiStamp Boutique.  I found a nice verse and added it to the same paper that I used on the front to decorate the inside.

80th Birthday

Just before Christmas my Mother-in-Law asked me to make a Birthday card for a friend of hers who is turning 80 this month.

Her friend likes Flowers and Pink so I decided to use my NitWit Annabelle Collection, it is full of pretty pink flowers.  I printed several copies of the flowers so that I could fussy cut them and layer them up using foam pads, the sentiment is from the DigiStamp Boutique, I changed the colour to match the papers and cut it out with a Hunkydory die.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Sunflower Cottage

This is another card that I have created with my Sunflower Cottage collection from NitWit.

The best thing about digital collections is that you can print them out as many times as you like, I always find I have favourite papers and toppers in collections and I use them up quickly, with digital collections you can print them again and again.  This is another topper that I have printed several times and fussy cut to create layers of dimension - I know it is not everyone's cup of tea but I love it.  The pretty papers are also from the collection, all I have added is some yellow card stock from my stash.

Eggbert Clown

This is the card that I have created for the second day of the Bugaboo Stamps 8th Birthday Bash, there is a week of challenges - the theme for the week is Birds, Butterflies & Birthday Wishes and there is a separate challenge each day, today it is a sketch challenge.

I used an older Bugaboo image called Eggbert Clown to create this card and coloured him with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens.  I cropped,  printed and coloured three additional flowers to embellish my card

The papers are from NitWit Collections and the sentiment is from my stash - I think it was a magazine freebie.

I would like to enter this card into the Bugaboo Stamps 8th Birthday Bash - Day 2 - Sketch.

I used papers and elements from the NitWit Collections Girly Girl Collection.

Everything is from the collection including the flowers and sentiment, I printed the flowers several times so that I could layer them up and create some dimension.  I cut the scalloped border with a Clearly Besotted die.

Carrot Harvest

A new challenge began yesterday over at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is Harvest Time chosen by Jane. I have created a fun card using a super image from the Ooh La La Creations Nursery Times CD.

This is my final post for Ooh La La Creations, as many of you will already know I am standing down from all of my design teams and also taking a break from my magazine work - I have so much stash that I have not even touched, I just want to craft for fun and use some of it up.

The papers are from NitWit Collections and the sentiment is from another Ooh La La CD, I have just added some card candi to embellish.

Make sure you pop over to the Ooh La La Creations Challenge Blog and check out the DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Harvest Time Challenge.

It's a Girl thing

A smile is ...

I have created this card with the NitWit Girly Girl Collection - there are some really pretty papers in this collection, I love the combination of pinks and browns.

I fussy cut the flower and layered it up for dimension.

The sentiment is from the collection, the only things that I added are some ribbon from my stash and some card candi that I created myself.

Celebrate with Stripes

I have been playing with the NitWit Party Animals collection again, I love the bright and cheerful colours in this collection - I decided not to use any of the animals on this card and have kept it very simple.

I have been making a lot of 5 1\2 x 4 1/4 inch cards lately, it's such a fun size to decorate.

I have layered up the stars but everything else is flat - perfect for posting.

A true love story ...

Let's Party

I have created this fun card using the NitWit Party Animals collection, I love the bright and cheerful colours and cute animals in this collection.

You could just print this and pop it on a card front but of course I had to print the topper several times so that I could do some fussy cutting and create some decoupage layers.

The little pom pom on his hat was recycled from one of last years Christmas crackers.
