Ice cream

Jen and I have just bought the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit of the Month for August, called SUMMER DREAMS.  Of course I had to try it first lol!

I made another plain and simple card, using one stamp, one piece of co-ordinating paper and a sentiment.  What do you think?

I stamped the cone six times and coloured them three different ways.  I then decoupaged two together to give a bit of depth.

 I stamped the sentiment in 3 colours, cut it up and used a different colour for each part.

I also added a ribbon through the centre.  

So there it is. A sweet summer card.

"Summer Lovin'....

.... had me a bla-ast!"  Come on sing-a-long.  You know you want to :)

 

No folks I haven't gone mad lol.  I just fancied a break from Christmas cards.

I've had this Tilda image stamped and coloured since Scotland but only found her out again this week.  I decided that she was just the change I needed from the Christmassy theme.

Tilda is coloured with Promarkers and cut out by hand.  I layered her on to two papers from a Boofle summer paper pad which had just the colours I was looking for.

I made a posy for the corner using paper flowers and leaves, then printed the sentiment on to the reverse of some centura pearl card stock.

With a co-ordinating ribbon it is all finished and not a bit of tinsel or a bauble in sight lol.

Tangerine Dream

Morning again crafty friends.  As it's the first of August it is Yorkshire Day and also Jen's unofficial birthday!  Jen chose it several years ago as her 'summer' birthday as hers is in December and she feels it's too close to Christmas so isn't really a proper birthday as her gifts merge together! So by rights this is her 85th birthday - and she looks every minute of it lol!  (She'll kill me for that one but it's worth it rofl)

 

It's been a busy week here again and it's about to get even busier.  Jen's grandsons are set to visit this weekend, along with their mum, Vicky.  They are a couple of whirlwinds and we'll probably be glad to go back to work next week for a rest!!

 

Today's offering is another of our new digis on a very simple card.  I haven't added a sentiment to this as I can do that when I decide what occasion to use it for!

I started by colouring the image with Spectrum Noirs.  I'm really loving the yellows and oranges just now, and they seemed just right for this lady.

 

The papers are from a freebie pad received with a magazine subscription and contain lots of summery prints and colours.

A neat little bow and a few hearts are all I felt she needed.

Hope you like her. TTFN Jude xx

Colourful camping

Morning bloggers - Friday at last ;)

 

This week has been a little calmer than the last few and it looks like we have a home and not a storage shed at last.  Most of the craft room is put away and now begins the job of working out what we actually have.  We have found lots of things along the way that had been forgotten in our stashes.  We intend to set a few challenges to use some things up.  Hopefully you will join us.

 

Todays offering is a Saturated Canary digi stamp coloured with alcohol pens.  I fancied something a bit brighter so went with oranges and yellows for a change.

 

 

I matted the topper on orange and layered over an orange floral background on a 5x7 cream base card.

 

I added an accent of blue gingham to hold the sentiment.  This was a piece of a larger sheet which co-ordinates with the orange floral paper.  I cut out the circle and edged with a co-ordinating pen.

 

I can't remember the name of this image but I thought it was fun for a summer birthday card.  What do you think?

Good morning

Good morning everyone. Hope the sun is shining for you today. We are keeping our fingers crossed for some nice weather today as it's my granddaughters birthday party this afternoon and then mum and dad's party tonight. So it would really help if we don't spend the whole day running backwards and forwards in the rain!

 

Today's card is another one I made for Mum's birthday. I'm loving pink and green together at the minute.

 

 

It's a 6x6 Kraft card blank, with some papers and toppers that were free with a magazine.

 

I added the flowers from my stash,

 

and the pearl string.

 

 

I just think it's a really fresh summery looking card. What do you think?

 

Hope you like it too. Thanks for stopping by today.

 

See you soon

 

Jen
