No Bird Soars Too High....

Cars Birthday card

New Job

I found the tractor picture online for free and coloured it with promarkers.

I cut it out using Grand Nestabilities Squares in my Grand Calibur, and mounted it onto Core'dinations card, and set at a jaunty angle. I used Tim Holtz distress ink and ruler with holes to make the stitching around edges.

'New Job' was made using 'double do' alphabet dies in Grand Calibur.

I did buy some John Deere Brads for the corners, which I forgot about til after I sent the card. Oops!

Pink and Lime birthday card

I received my new double do dies today so couldn't resist using them to make this card using my Grand Calibur. I used a Gorjuss girl stamped image for the main topper, which I had coloured using Flexmarkers a while ago, so I just coloured some white card with the shocking pink Flexmarker and cut two swirls out to match her dress. I embossed the card using a darice embossing folder. Greeting was printed onto Safmat and toppers were cut using x-cut dies

Walter Christmas Card

Another card using a Walter digi stamp from Willow designs Walter and Winnie does Christmas,

coloured in using promarkers and flexmarkers. Backing papers free with a craft magazine.

the greeting stamped onto card and cut using a spellbinders ribbon slider tag die, with red velvet ribbon that I have had for ages.

40 today

I was itching to use my new Core'dinations Tim Holtz and Ranger Distress collection card, I embossed a piece of red using cuttlebug embossing folder and sanded it back a little mounted it onto gold mirror board and mounted the popcorn decoupage onto this. I distressed the edges of cream base card using Walnut Stain distress ink. I used Safmat for the 40 today and the Happy Birthday again in my current favourite Tall Paul font.

Cute Bookmark

I have bought my friend a book, so thought I would make a cute bookmark to give to her with the book. The sentiment is from a stamp set by polka doodles and the girl is one of the Urban Belles clear stamps from Kanban. She is coloured in using promarkers and her dress and headband are made by stamping onto paper from K and Company Berry Sweet, cutting it out and glueing it on.  I glued two pieces of card back to back so you cannot see the bleed of the promarkers.

LOTV Birthday Card

I made this card for my friend's birthday which is on Sunday. The image is by Lili Of The Valley which I stamped and coloured in using promarkers, then cut out using spellbinders nestabilities Labels Three dies and used antique linen Distress Ink to colour the edges. I used the same dusky pink promarker, which I used on the flowers and the ribbon on the girls hat, to colour the textured card which I used mat the topper on. I used the antique linen distress ink on the main square white card using a watercolour sponge. The border on the bottom is a strip of paper cut from a K-ology 6x6 pad mounted onto gold mirri, the flourish is gold mirri cut and embossed using a die from parisian accent spellbinders die set. I then added some cream beads I have in my craft stash.

A flower for you

I love forever friends.
I made this with some stash I had squirrellled away. The stickers are just so sweet.The pink ribbon is from Polka Doodles - must confess though I had coloured some cream ribbon in Sweet plum memento ink last night and attached it with photo glue, this morning I noticed the ink had bled so had to rescue the card.

Happy Birthday

I made the background for this card by just stamping a sun image onto ordinary copier paper, this was mounted onto a green A4 card folded in half. The image on the topper is from Double Sprinkles of Kraft CD by Polka Doodles which I coloured in using promarkers. It was then cut and embossed using my cuttlebug and nestabilities square dies and mounted onto black card cut using the same method. The greeting text is in Tall Paul font printed on safmat.

Happy Fathers Day

Another Winnie and Walter digi stamp from the brilliant Double Sprinkles Of Kraft CD from Polka Doodles, coloured using Promarkers and mounted onto green holographic card. I used my Crop-a-dile corner chomper to round corners.I rediscovered it whilst looking for something else! The green stripe paper is from a 6'x6' Craftwork Cards Vintage Rose paper pack, which was free with Simply Cards and Papercraft  magazine issue 82. I added the greeting using Tall Paul font printed onto Safmat

Get Well Card

Get well card for a male, using cute image from Favourites Edition CD rom by docrafts, which was free with a craft magazine. Cut out the image using square nestabilities dies using my cuttlebug. Backing paper is from Polka Doodles Double Sprinkles of Kraft.

Cute Anniversary card

I used Winnie & Walter from the Double Sprinkles of Kraft CD from Polka Doodles, coloured with Promarkers and cut out using Nestabilities Heart Circles die and used a white Sakura Gelly roll pen for the fake stitching. The little red heart is just from a peel off sheet which I have had for ages.

Thank you card

A Thank you card for my Brother, Sister in Law and Niece for my birthday pressies. The papers were free with Simply cards & Papercraft magazine, as was the stamp from a previous issue - The stamp is by Pink Petticoat, the holographic card looks like  bubbles - I do apologise for the quality it is scanned. I think I need a digital camera ...and soon.
