1st Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today I'm sharing a cute little birthday card made earlier this month for someone's 1st birthday ...

The little foxes are from a set called Hello Pumpkin by Lili Of The Valley, the sentiment is from a set by Crafty Roo Designs and the alphabet dies are from Memory Box.

The colouring was done using a mix of ink blending and watercolouring with brush markers. Of course,the envelope and wrapping paper was decorated using the foxes from the stamp set too.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

CAS Christmas Trees

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a quick CAS Christmas card for you today ...

The smaller one of the trees is double layered for added texture. Again I used older bits from my stash, the snowflake is a punch from Creative Memories, the sentiment stamp is from the retired Holiday Artsy set by STAMPlorations, the dotty circle and tree dies are from 'sorry I can't remember'.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Sending Hugs

Hi Crafty Friends!

Got another card using Uniko stamps and stencil for you today ... have a look ...

Again the background uses a bit of stencilling. The silhouette leaves and sentiment are stamped. A bold frame and rounded corners finish the design off.

Season's Greetings

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing another Christmas card using some of my older stash ... have a look ...

Yes, I'm rather liking this dotty circle right now. It came as a set of 3, just not sure where exactly I got it from.

Today's card uses the largest of the three whereas Saturday's and Sunday's cards were featuiring the middle one. It's paired with some snowflakes, the largest being an Xcut die and the two others punches, popped up on a brusho background and finished off with a gem and die-cut sentiment by STAMPlorations.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Off-the-edge Florals

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today's card showcases the large floral stamp from this month's Monthly Make Box by Crafty Roo Designs.

The off-the-edge design was created by using a craft knife and ruler to cut the straight lines and fuzzy cutting around the flowers and leaves using small scissors.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Oldies Are Goldies 2

Oldies Are Goldies 1

Hi Crafty Friends!

Another little Christmas card for you today using a few bits I've had for a while ... have a look ...

Sometimes it's really good to look through stamps and dies one had for quite a while, especially when one's mojo has taken leave.

I found this little critter among some older stamps by Crafter's Companion. It was combined with a snowflake by Xcut and two more dies from my stash.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Merry Christmas

Merry & Bright

Hi Crafty Friends!

Back after a lengthy summer break where life just took over.

Today's card is a little Christmas card using a little dog and cat from a See-D's set I recently purchased from Nicola Prior in the UK Stamper's Forum De-Stash Group ... have a look ...

They were popped up against a background of stars and trees, stamps by Crafty Roo Designs, complemented by a sentiment from Crafter's Companion and finished off with a tough of glitter on the hats.

Wishing you all a lovely day!
