How much is that doggy in the window?

Good morning all, I hope you are having a great week. I have another Furry Friends card for you today.

I used the same set from Creative Stamping magazine Issue 68, that I used for my kitty card the other day. This time I used one of the doggies, which I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, and then coloured with Copic Markers.

I cut my furry friend out by hand and then sat him on some patterned paper from a First Edition 6 x 6 pad, called Sail Away.

I used a Britannia Opening Window die, and cut it from some more paper from the same pad. Then I also cut it from white heavyweight card and stuck this behind the patterned paper for strength.

I cut the panels down using a Stitched Rectangle die from an MFT Blueprints Dienamics set, and added it all to an orange note card. Then I added a sentiment from the same set and a couple of silver pearls to the door handles.

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

Pink and White Christmas....

Good morning all, I hope you have had a good weekend, and managed to fit some craft time in.

I have been trying some different colour combos (for me), for this year's Christmas Cards, and this was my attempt with Pink. 😏 Not great but I'll keep trying until I find something I like, lol.

The stitched hillside is from Mama Elephant's, Stitched Border Trio dies, and the tree lined hill is a Marianne Designs. The Houses and the Santa with Reindeer are from a First Edition, Craft a Card, large die. 

I cut the whole die from pink card, but then just snipped out the bits I wanted. I added some white card behind the houses so I could colour the windows etc. but in hindsight I wouldn't do that again, or just stick to a pale yellow glow.

  

Then I popped it onto a pink note card, and added a Merry Christmas Die Cut from Cut & Make to finish it off.

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

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.

Lovely Lola

Hello again friends.  Hope you are enjoying the Easter holiday weekend.

Today's card looks  heavier than it is.  The front is just two pieces of paper from the First Edition J'adore pack.  I measured out squares on the back of each piece, cut alternate sizes from each and then layered them together to create the effect of multiple layers.

The image is Lola Rose by Pink Petticoat, coloured with Copics.  I actually chose the papers first then coloured her to match.

The sentiment stamp came free with one of our magazine subscriptions.

Hope you like it.

Man Made

Good morning all, hope you are looking forward to a good weekend. We are all off out today to my aunts for a family get-together. There will probably be too much food and too much drink, but hey that's a good night lol!.

One of the reasons we are going is that as well as being our cousin Kirsty's birthday last week, it is also her husbands next week and he is turning 40.  So this is the card that I have made to send to David. 

I have used papers from a new pad called Man Made, by First Edition. I took inspiration from the Trimcraft website and built a city scene with the papers. 

I cut pieces out of a building piece and then cut more pieces to decoupage them. 

Then I used one of the cloud papers behind and decoupaged a couple of those too. 

I used an Olive green card for a change, and cut the middle out with a Go Kreate large scalloped square die. 

Then I used Papermania stamps and dies to cut the 40 out of green vellum. 

Finally, I cut the happy from the same green vellum using a Britannia die. 

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