Peppa Pig

Good morning all, I hope you have had a good week. Are you looking forward to a nice crafty weekend? I know I am lol.

Today's card is one I made for my great niece who turned 3 last week. I decided to have a go at a Peppa Pig card, after seeing a couple of store bought ones.

I used my circle punches for the head, ears, and nose, and trimmed down a large punched circle for the skirt. I cut small strips of the pink card for the arms and legs, and very simple shapes from black card for the shoes.

Another small punch gave me the cheek, and I used enamel dots for her nose, and gave her googly eyes. I cut the mouth by punching a red circle, and then punching into the circle again with the same punch, to give me a small semi-circle, and then punched that again, to give me the very fine curve!

I used a Mama Elephant Stitched Border Trio die to cut the hillside, and then a First Edition cloud die for the top. I added these to an A2 notecard and then assembled Peppa on top.

I gave her a few balloons that I already had cut, and added her name using the Avery Elle, Modern Alpha dies. Then I stamped a simple sentiment from Clearly Besotted, and added a die cut 3 to finish.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Minnie Mouse Style Cards

Good morning all, I hope you have had a great weekend. I have two cards for you today, but as they are virtually identical two cards is a bit of a stretch lol.

I had seen a Minnie Mouse design card on Pinterest, and as I needed cards for a couple of little girls, I thought these would be perfect. 

I altered the design to suit my stash, and as you can see I made small changes from the red card to the pink version. It's such a simple card, and looks great in the different colours. 

I used my circle punches for the head and ears, and a bow die from a Blueprints Dienamics set. The red version was just matted on plain squares, but for the pink version, I used Lawn Fawn, Stitched Square dies.

I just used papers from the stash and reinforced the bow with a plain die cut behind the patterned paper. The stamp is one of our all time favourite birthday stamps. It's an old wooden stamp made by Funstamps, and it always stamps beautifully.

I added die cut numbers to the cards for the little girls ages, and then finished them off with a gem in the centre of the bow.

Hope you like them, take care and I'll see you soon.

You are my sunshine

Good morning all, well how about this for a totally OTT card for a little girl. 

I made this for my Granddaughter Izzy who was 3 last week, and anyone that knows her would agree that this card is totally her lol. She can be a little ray of sunshine, (and a bit of a hurricane too) ;o))

The card is very bright and busy just like Izzy, and not my usual style at all, but I still quite like it.

I used a Studio Calico stamp set to stamp the sentiments and used Dandelion, London Fog, and Tuxedo Black Memento Inks

The rainbow was made by putting strips of washi tape in different colours on to a piece of white card. Then I cut the rainbow out with a Lawn Fawn die from the Hello Sunshine set.

The clouds are also from this set, as are a couple of the sun stamps. 

The sun at the top left is from the Studio Calico set and is stamped with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. I also used the same ink and powder on the Grandaughter stamp from Crafters Companion Sentimentals.

We have another stamp set, this time from MFT Stamps called Blue Skies Ahead which I used for the inside of the card. 

I used a 7 x 7 card blank with yellow and silver card, then just added a small number 3 sticker to finish.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week and looking forward to the weekend.

Today's card is one I made for my granddaughter Isabelle who was 3 yesterday. This one was from my Mum to send.

I used the stamps and die from the MFT Stamps Wild Things set for the elephant. Which I stamped with black Memento ink on to soft grey card. 

For the sentiment stamp I used a new set from Studio Calico, which has a few different circles and sentiments in, so you can make up your own. 

The balloons are made with the WPlus9 Whole Lotta Happy die set, I cut two with the bright pink card and then the third with white vellum. 

The number 3 is cut with the MFT Stamps Bright Lights Numbers and Symbols set. 

Then I drew the balloon strings in by hand with a silver sparkle pen. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

All Dressed Up

Good morning all, hope you are well today.

This card is one I made a couple of weeks ago for my great niece for her 3rd birthday. To be honest I had forgotten that I hadn't blogged it ;o))

The image is from All Dressed Up, and I coloured it with Copics and Spectrum Noirs.  

I cut her out by hand and then found some coordinating papers in the stash. 

The flowers are a mixture of paper and fabric ones all placed on a paper doily. 

I inked the edges with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, then I added a number 3 and a simple sentiment. 

 

I finished the card off inside with a small strip of the green paper.

Hope you like it.

Take care and I'll see you soon.

Hugs and Kisses

Good morning folks, hope you are all well.

Today's card is another I made for Keira's birthday on Tuesday. This time using the Hugs and Kisses digistamp from Saturated Canary. 

I coloured her with Copics and Spectrum Noirs and then gave her a bit of a dotty background. 

I used a Grand Decorative Labels One die for the background and layered it on to a scalloped 8 x 8 card blank.

The papers are a bit of a mix from then stash, and I added in a bit of matching bunting across the middle.

I die cut the 3 Today twice and layered them together, then gave them a covering of Glossy Accents. 

The little butterfly is a die cut too and I gave him a bit of a makeover with tiny gems and pearls and more Glossy Accents. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Happy Birthday Kiki G, 3 today

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week. Today is my great niece's (Jude's granddaughter's) 3rd birthday. So happy birthday Keira Grace, hope you have a very special day. 

Today's card is the one that I gave you the sneak peak of on Sunday. 

This is Pixie Dust Cloud from Saturated Canary. 

I coloured her with Copics and Spectrum Noirs and then cut her out with a Spellbinders Opulent Ovals die. 

I used a gold card blank as the base and then added a sheet of dark purple vellum over the top.

Then I added white card with an oval cutout and used a tonic border punch down both sides.

I raised the image on some foam pads to give it a bit of depth. Then finished the card with a couple of sentiments and some flowers. 

This card was serious hard work. Mr Mojo is off on his holidays again! so I'm struggling lol. If you saw the messing about I did to get the frantage on this image you wouldn't believe it. But Jude rescued me and that is why the image ended up being cut out with the oval shape lol. 

Oh well never mind, enjoy your week folks, take care and I'll see you soon.
