Simple Birthday Blooms

Today I am sharing a clean & simple card that I made for my friend Hannah's birthday last week. I was really short of time so I had to make it rather simple and here is what I came up with...
For this card I used my new Altenew Painted Flowers from My Mums Craft Shop. These create such gorgeous detail as you have to build up each layer. I must invest in some more different tones of ink that go together properly though! The sentiment is Altenew Label Love - full of fab sentiments! I simply hand drew a border around it to frame it and mounted onto black card.

I will be back with another creation soon :)

Simply The Best

Hello peeps, hope you are having a lovely weekend so far! Today I am sharing a sneak peek of the new and upcoming release from Docrafts. I was very lucky and got to play with the new Mr Mister range which is just perfect for Father's Day which isn't too far away now....
For this card I used the A4 Decoupage Pack & 6x6 Paper Pack both from the Mr Mister collection which will be available in stores/online from 1st May. I distressed the edges of the card using a bit of grey ink to give it a more dirty grunge look - we all know men's work is always dirty & messy after all!!

I will be back soon with more sneak peeks :)

Hello

Today I am sharing a card from last month's issue of Making Cards. This was one of the cards that was featured and made using the free papers that come with each issue of the magazine. I LOVED using these stylish funky characters so I thought I would share this one...
I simply mounted the background onto card and drew a border around it. I then added a strip of paper at the bottom and a piece of card over the top. I die cut the hello word using MFT Die-namics Happy Hellos. I coloured the large topper using copics, fussy cut it out and attached it to the card using foam pads. I simply added some pearls to finish.

Hoppy Easter Two

So naughty me, I forgot to post my other Easter Bunny card - ooops! I think all the chocolate has gone to my head. I have almost eaten it all though, so normal service & diet will resume soon! So onto my late card from my latest project in Making Cards Magazine here is bunny two..
I created this second card using pretty much the same products. The stamps are Mama Elephant Honey Bunny Stamps. I coloured my bunnies with my Copics and popped them both onto 3d foam pads. The main panel is die cut using the Die-namics Stitched Rounded Edge Rectangles. The fence is by CC Designs and the grass is my old faithful Martha Stewart Punch. The sentiment is stamped onto vellum. I also added some twine and a pearls to finish.

Sorry I didn't post my other two cards as planned yesterday - all I can say is it's the Easter holidays so things never seem to go to plan and it's all a bit manic! Anyway I am here now and here are my other two Easter cards from Crafts Beautiful Magazine...
I used Lawn Fawn Happy Easter Stamps for both of these cards and fussy cut the bunnies out. I used my old faithful Martha Stewart Punch for the grass and added some twine. The alphabet letters are by My Favorite Things along with the Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics for the hills.

I will be back again soon.
