My Fav Dude

Hello! The kids are back to school this week so we are back to normal now. I have loved spending time with my girls but also looking forward to the usual routine and getting some actual work done! So today I am sharing one of my cards from my Converse project in last months Making Cards Magazine...

I really love these funky dies so I couldn't wait to use them - they are perfect for teens! They are of course the All Star High Tops Die-namics. I also used the matching Be Original Stamps by MFT. I used various other Die-namics including Stitched Scallop Edges & Stitched Rounded Edge Rectangle STAX. The background stamps are Star & Diagonal Stripe by MFT too. I simply added a bit of twine to the shoes for lace and ta-dah!

I would like to enter the following challenges...
Ohh La La Creations - Lots Of Layers
Left Of Center - Spots or Stripes
Southern Girls - Stars
Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Anything Goes
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

I will be back soon with my second Converse card.

Happy Birthday Girl

It's nearly the end of the Easter holidays so that will normal blog service will be resumed :) I have missed my crafting and blogging the past week or so and I can't wait to get back on track again. Today I have another quick card that was featured in last months Making Cards Magazine using the free papers included in the magazine...

 I used one of the 'to colour' topper and coloured it using my Copics. I mounted this onto grey card and created the background using various papers from the set. I added some ribbon, a pearl rhinestone and a die cut sentiment. I love the colours of the design papers in this set - mint and red!!

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.

I would like to enter the following challenges...
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
4 Crafty Chicks - Die Cuts
Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes
Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes

I will be back soon with more creations.

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.

 

I will be back with more creations very soon.

The girls have been very spoiled and have lots of choccy eggs and we are off to see my dad later too. For now I thought I would share a bit of Easter inspiration that is featured in this months Making Cards Magazine...

 How is is this hoppy bunny? This is made using Mama Elephant Honey Bunny Stamps. I coloured my bunny with my Copics and popped him onto 3d foam pads. The frame is Die-namics Instaframe and i also used Die-namics Stitched Rounded Edge Rectangles. The fence is by CC Designs and the grass is my old faithful Martha Stewart Punch. I also added some twine and a pearl to finish.

I will be back tomorrow with my other Easter bunny card.

Gift Bag

Today I have something a bit different - a cute little gift bag! I made this for Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine as part of the Q&A page. It is really simple to create a bag like this, I will try and find the tutorial I used for it.

The papers I used for this are the Kaisercraft freebie ones that came with that edition of QCME Magazine. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted and the dies are MFT Dienamics.

Hope you are all having a lovely Easter weekend, I will be back with more creations very soon.

Happy Easter Part Two

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.
