Birthday Blooms

 


I love this sunflower stamp from Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley. I've used it a few times now and I love it. It's so versatile. I coloured it, of course, with my trusty promarkers. 

I hand-stamped the sentiment and cut it by hand. Papers are from a craft ID pad, 'when life gives you lemons' and added the butterflies and a few wee gems to finish.

The current challenge for As You Like It is favorite occasion and I debated with myself between birthdays and christmas, because I love both, but went with birthdays because it's so much more individual. I love making cards that are specifically made with a person in mind. Using their favourite colours, picking themes for their hobbies and interests. This one is going to my neighbour for her birthday, as she loves flowers - her garden is amazing! 

As You Like It - favourite occasion and why

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

Meowy Christmas Kitty

  I picked this from All Dressed Up after winning two of their beautiful images from an Outlawz challenge. Friends of mine just got a new kitten and this will be perfect for them for xmas. I coloured the image with my promarkers and used papers from hobbycrafts traditional chrismtas pack. The stocking embellishment came from the matching embellishment set. The sentiment was stamped from a set I was given a while ago.

A couple of men's cards...

This first one was made for my brother in law, who is a keen bowler. My sister, spends her summers complaining she's a bowls widow normally - this year she might just wish she was, lol! I got the fab image from Polkadoodles, coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from Jen Hadfield, on a kraft card base. Challenges: - A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge - #114, Anything Goes - Daisy Chain Challenge - #40, Birthday This one could do for several of my friends, I have a lot of gamers in my life, not sure how that happened, as until a few years ago I'd never owned a gaming system (yes I now own a PS3 and 4). I cut the die on my silhouette and the papers came from papermania's happy days pack. A bit of blue ribbon from my stash and a sentiment stamp from teddy bo & co, coloured in the buttons with promarkers just to round it off.
