My Superhero!

I am so late in entering the Less is More challenge this week! Still, better late than never right?

So here is my entry into the Masculine themed challenge...

This is another new set I recently bought...it's super great for kids' cards! 

After I stamped the little fella in Baked Brown Sugar, I coloured in his cape and boots in Real Red and Pacific Blue. The sentiment was fussy cut and mounted on Dimensionals and I paper pierced the image panel to give some added interest.

I had my cards placed into a little shop in our new market yesterday! I'm only starting with new baby and christening/baptism card for now, but it's a start and I'm very excited about it! So I shall have to make plenty more now to have on my regular church stall!

Have a lovely Friday...make the most of it with your little ones...back to school next week!

Happy Birthday to us!

Hey everyone!

Well today I am wishing my newest downline, Adrienne a very happy birthday! It's easy to remember as it's my birthday too! Not only do we share the same day, but we were also born the same year! Big one next year eh Adrienne? ;)

Anyway, in our honour, I have made a birthday card....

I have used the new Petite Petals stamps and matching punch bundle, the Flower Shop stamps and matching Pansy Punch bundle and a sentiment from Express Yourself hostess stamp set.

Real Red ink, Real Red Taffeta Ribbon and a gem make this card simple and elegant. 

I'm entering it into the challenge at Fusion this week...

I'm going for lunch with my parents after I've been to the gym, if I can move that is!

A Happy Valentine!

Hellloooo!

How are you? 

I had quite a productive evening yesterday, making some commissions, and a card to show you today. The commissions will be revealed at some point next week.

Here is today's card...

This card has gone quite out of my comfort zone...Designer Series Paper & coloured card blank...not something I use a lot of, but I think I like it!

The DSP is the lovely Fresh Prints and I die cut the strip in the middle and added a die cut heart from another design, all mounted on a strip of Pool Party cardstock. I added a Candy Dot and a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

CAS(E) This Sketch - #62

Dynamic Duos - #88

I had a fantastic workout yesterday...I needed a shake up at the gym so I booked in with one of the instructors and boy do I know it! I may never walk normally again! On the upside, I don't need to run any more...just cycle lol!

You have a fabby day and I'll see you tomorrow!

Happy Watercolour on Film

Good morning!

Have you been having fun looking through the new catalogues via the links in my sidebar? Aren't there some stunning things and fabulous project ideas?

I have another card today, made using some of the new products, here it is...

I have used Happy Watercolour for the poppy and I stamped it in Versamark, then heat embossed in White Stampin' Emboss, before rubbing Real Red on with a Sponge. I wiped the image once the ink had dried to remove the excess from the outlines. I then masked the poppy and washed soft sky ink over it using my Aqua Painters. 

I then cut out the panel with the poppy on and popped it into the die cut film strip from The On Film Framelits. Before adding these to the card blank, I stamped a background with the 'blotchy' stamp from Watercolour wonder and Soft Sky ink. I finished with the sentiment stamped in Real Red, after once stamping off to soften the effect.

Language of Love

Good morning and a very warm welcome to my newest follower, Elaine from Craft-E-Place! I hope my blog serves as inspiration to you! 

And now to the reason you are here...a card! And this one is my entry into the sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary this week. I was extremely honoured to have been picked in their Top 3 last week with this card, thank you!

So here is their sketch...

And my card...

I have used some of the stunning brand new Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper from the new Spring/Summer Catalogue, which you can order as from today! Just click on the links in my sidebar to view the catalogue and to buy direct from my online store. 

I used the lovely Language of Love stamp set, which I stamped in Real Red and Pink Pirouette. I then punched a little heart out of the Pink one, using the Small Heart Punch, and mounted it onto the red one before coating it with Crystal Effects. The 2 larger hearts are die cut from the Hearts Framelits and I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack to create the cut out for the ribbon. I finished with 3 dots of Dazzling Diamonds.
