A Relaxing Day

I have used a topper and card stock from one of my many Hunkydory kits to create this card, I have lots of them and I am going to make a concerted effort to use them.

I have added an additional layer of purple card stock and silver Mirri card stock behind the topper, I also did the same to the sentiment which is from my stash.

I had to cut the base card stock to make it fit a 15 cm square card base so I used some ribbon to cover the join and added some more silver Mirri behind.

Little Ballerina

I decided to make another card using the beautiful Ballerina 6x6 Card Kit from Paper Creator.

I used the kit to create a side step card.  I printed the topper several times so that I could create some decoupage layers instead of pyramage layers.

The little ballet shoes and the sentiment are also part of the kit.

Beside the seaside

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, it's a Colour Challenge this week and it's Colours of your Country's Flag.

I have used a sweet image and sentiment from Pink Petticoat, now trading as The Lovely Studio.

I have kept things really simple, I just printed my image and sentiment and coloured the beach huts using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.

I would like to enter this card into the Less is More Challenge Week 335 - Colour Challenge

A Nice Tipple

It was my youngest son's 19th Birthday on Sunday - that makes me feel very old!  This is the card that I made for him from me and his Dad.

I used a topper and card stock from the Crafter's Companion Camden Town Male collection.   I had two toppers the same so I created a decoupage layer for dimension.

I die cut the stars and cut the 'SON' letters using my Memory Box Alphabet Tile dies - I cut them twice once from coloured card stock and once from gold Mirri card and then inlaid the gold into the coloured bases before layering them onto more gold Mirri.

Sorry for having so many photographs but I always find it difficult to photograph easel cards!

Anniversary Keepsakes

It's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is Anniversary chosen by Julie.   I have created a card using the Keepsakes collection from the Ooh La La Creations The Paula Oakley Collection CD.

The sentiment is a Papermania stamp.

Things I want to do ...

It was our 22nd Wedding Anniversary on Friday, we have actually been together for 31 years in total!  This is the card that I made for my husband.

I found the list on the internet and printed it onto some paper from the First Edition Wild at Heart collection, the striped paper is from the same paper pad - I punched the border and inked the edges of everything.

I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with a label die that was free with a magazine ages ago.

Thank you for popping in today, I hope you are enjoying the weekend.
