Something for the Men

Good Afternoon Bloggers,

Hope you are all well and had an enjoyable weekend.

I have a selection of cards to share now that I made with some Kanban Toppers and Papers..

Love the colour of these and the realistic look on the papers are fab.

Really enjoyed making these ones.

Only extra I added to the Kanban toppers and papers were the card blanks and the gold mirri card and glue of course ;-)

Mum's in a Million

Good Morning Bloggers,

Hope you are all well.. Hubby's having to work this morning and the boys are playing nicely for a change lol so I've done the housework and ironing already.. Hoping to get a bit of colouring done later too.

Over the last few months I have been so so busy creating loads of pop up box cards for my customers for Mothers Day. They have been so popular this year.

Here are a selection of some of the ones I have made.

 

 

 

I used various die cut flowers and papers from Kanban and Hunkydory kits with pearls and resin flowers.

Bit of Elvis.

Good Morning Bloggers,

Hope you are all well..

For todays card share I used a very old topper that I've had lying around in my stash for years and years.. I think its from a Kanban die cut sheet.

I created my own background on embossed card using Sheena's stencil/mask from the grooving 60s range. with some inks and then sprayed with spray and sparkle.. I punched the black card using Martha Stewart border punches then wrapped with some wonderful music ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. Sentiments I printed from the computer

Hello bloggers, hope you are all well..

We have had another lovely hot sunny day here in the Midlands..

It really makes you feel better about things.. My boys were straight into the garden after school.. I have still got the windows open it's great. Lets hope there are plenty more of these days on the way...

Right now onto my card for today.. And I do apologise but it is another Teddy Bo...

I just love colouring these in at the moment..

I coloured this gorgeous bear with promarkers.. I cut out using my nesti's.  The DP's are First Edition Desert Bloom. The sentiment stamp is from a Kanban set.. also cut out using my nesti's...
The flowers are WOC (of course). I finished with ribbon and little gems/buttons from my stash.

It is the first time I have used this colour combo. I like it has worked really well, what do  you think?

Happy Birthday Son..

Good afternoon all, What a lovely bright few days we have had here in the Midlands, let hope it stays..

Well I have had a busy morning, I had to take my youngest to meet his preschool teacher and see his class. I was so nervous but seems I had nothing to worry about has he had a great time and didnt want to leave there, in fact I had to drag him out kicking and screaming. So hopefully he will be ok when he starts the end of April.. Oh dear what shall I do with 2 and half hours with NO kiddies??

Anyway on to my card for today. I have made this for my stepson Joe's 13th Birthday.. He is really into music and likes to play the drums.

For this card I have used Kanban card and stamp.. I coloured the image using my promarkers. I also used a Kanban topper and sentiment for this card. I added peeloffs for the age and name..

i stamped this image twice, first onto white card and the next time onto siver mirri, I cut certain elements out from the mirri and added to the first image using foam pads to give a bit of extra detail/layers.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Make a Wish...

Good morning everyone,

What a wet and dull morning.. Hopefully it will brighten up during the week..

I finally managed to have some time in my craftroom yesterday and last night. So I may have a few posts for today...

My first card today is this little cutie from a stamp set I have had a while (by Kanban)

I have coloured the image using promarkers (blossom, pastel pink, rose pink, leaf green, meadow green, pastel yellow, buttercup, tan, sandstone, blush)

The papers are from Dovecraft back to basics pack.. The sentiment is a preprinted one from a magazine. I thought it went perfectly with this image..

I like the soft green and pinks in this card, perfect for little girls. I have embellished with come candi and glitter and gems.
