Wellington

Good morning all and welcome to Friday. I decided to make a start on cards for my grandson last night, who's birthday is at the end of the month. So today's offering is the first one I have made.

It's good old Wellington again. I do think he's just the most adorable old bear lol.

I started with the topper and matted this on to Kraft card stock. 

I used a Kraft card blank and papers from the Wellington range, matted on to Coredinations card. 

I added his name in chipboard letters at the bottom and finished the card with a button and twine at the top.

Hope you like it, thanks for dropping by again.

See you soon, take care.

Wellington with rugby ball

Good morning all, hope you are all well today. I'm feeling a bit better now and can finally get back to some crafting. Horrible winter bugs are going around at the minute and I seem to be getting them all lol.

 

Today's card is another Wellington one using a ready made topper.

 

 

I do love this range it is very cute and perfect for male cards too.

 

 

I teamed the topper with some matching Wellington papers and some blue cardstock.

 

 

Then finished the card with a ready made sentiment.

 

 

Hope you like it.

 

Thanks for stopping by again.

 

See you soon.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday

Good morning crafty friends, hope you are well today and looking forward to a crafty kind of weekend. I must admit I am really struggling at the minute for enthusiasm for card making, so today I'm going to get in the craft room and do some sorting out and see if that gets the old mojo working again.

 

Today's card is one I made a while ago but never got around to blogging.

 

 

It's a very simple Wellington topper framed with a spellbinders Opulent ovals frame.

 

 

Then matted and layered with some co-ordinating papers.

 

 

and finished off with a simple sentiment.

 

 

Hope you like it. Enjoy your weekend.

 

See you soon.

On your special day

Good morning blog friends, how are you all today? I really hope you are all well. Can you believe that we reached 400 posts on this little blog yesterday? That's unbelievable to me lol, and to mark the occasion we are having a little give-away, so if you haven't already seen it, scroll back to yesterdays post to find out more. ;o))

 

Anyway on to today's card. Yesterday we asked for some ideas for male cards, so this is my latest one.

 

Using one of my favourite characters Wellington. A really simple card but still nice.

 

 

I used a ready made topper and then papers from a Wellington paper pad. All matted with some blue Coredinations card.

 

 

I layered them up on a 6x6 Kraft card blank and then finished the card with a simple ready made sentiment.

 

 

Like I said a very simple card but nice for either younger or older males I think. Hope you like it too.

 

Thanks for stopping by again.

 

See you soon

 

Take care

A card at last!

Good morning all, hope you are well today. I have finally found a bit of time to make a card yippee! and it's about time, as we have 3 birthdays this weekend! My son, daughter in law and nephew. 2 on the 28th and the other on the 29th. So it's time to get crafty again lol.

 

Today I thought I'd share one of the male cards I've made.

 

 

I started with a 6x6 plain Kraft card blank and covered it with a blue spotty distressed paper from the Wellington paper pack, matted on to brown core-dinations card.

 

 

I layered another of the papers over one side again matted on to brown card. Then I used a darker piece of brown card to cut a frame and shape with the Opulent Ovals Spellbinders die set.

 

 

I mounted this on to the front of the card and raised the frame with foam pads. Then I added the wellington sticker in to the frame and finished the card with a couple of ready made sentiments.

 

It's a really quick and simple card but hope you like it.

 

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.

Better late than never!

Good morning, hope you are all well today. I finally have pics of Dad's birthday cards from last week so I can share them with you. They are all very simple but different too. Dad liked them all so hope you do too.

 

This one is made with Kanban Toppers and borders.

 

 

 

This one is an old favourite Wellington...

 

 

...and the inside.

 

 

I still love Boofle, he really is great for men's cards.

 

 

This one is Hot Diggity, all of these 3 ranges are made by Docrafts.

 

 

 

And finally a Kanban postcard and topper with a small clock face charm.

 

 

 

Like I said, all really simple cards, but sometimes I think that's the best way lol.

 

Thanks for stopping by today, see you soon.

Male cards

Good morning at last it's Saturday! Been looking forward to today all week. It's mine and Alan's wedding anniversary today so were off for a night away. We have train tickets, a night in a nice hotel and a meal booked at a lovely tapas restaurant. All courtesy of our lovely family :o))

Today I thought I'd share with you the cards I made for my nieces partner this week. It makes a change to do the odd male card and these were all really simple. 

 

 

Just male themes and coordinating papers but I did like them all.

 

Anyway I shall leave you now as I need to get a wriggle on lol.

Thanks for stopping by today. See you soon.
