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.

Happy Birthday Nephew

Good morning, hope you have had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend. I'm hoping for some craft time to play with the new goodies we have bought recently ;o))

Today's card is one I made for my nephew back in June. I just hadn't got around to blogging it. It's very simple albeit a bit fiddly.

The papers and die used to make the boats are all from a Simon Says Stamp Kit from 2015. It's another one that I hadn't used before so thought it was about time.

I chose two of the double sided papers and cut the boat out 4 times, then arranged the pieces on to a piece of white card. 

I made up the sentiments by using stamps from a Crafters Companion Sentimentals set and a Simon Says Stamp set. I stamped them with black pigment ink and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I cut the panel to fit an A6 card blank and then used one of the papers to layer behind it. 

Hope you like it, have a great weekend and I'll see you soon.

Sail away on your birthday

Good morning, hopefully this post is going live on Friday 22nd July while we are away lol.

Today's card is one I made for my son a few weeks ago. I used a Studio Calico map piece of card and then distress inked it with Tim Holtz inks. 

I used a couple of circle dies to create the porthole window and cut the top layer with a wood effect paper from the stash. Then I wrapped a white string twine around it.

The little sailing boat is cut with a Simon Says Stamp die from one of their older kits and the wavey paper is from the same set.

I used the circle from the centre of the porthole plus a smaller stitched circle for the sentiment and stamped it with a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set.

Then I added a smaller sentiment in the top corner from a Mamae Elephant set called Mini Messages.

I inked everything with the same distress inks to make it look a bit aged and then added it all to a 6 x 6 Kraft card blank.

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