a belated birthday

Good afternoon crafty friends I hope your all having a great weekend. It always seems to fly by...

I made this card for the following challenges:
 fussy and fancy challenge-summertime.
simon says stamp-anything goes

 I used a kaiserkraft hippo stamp which I coloured in with aqua-markers. I then embossed some card with some fun polka dots and cut some felt for the grass. I then added some flowers, ribbon and a button. The greeting stamp is paper smooches.

Thank you all so much for popping by I hope you have a great day!

Sunny bike ride

Good evening lovelies I hope your all having a good week, and the sunshine has came out for you. Have you got any plans for the weekend? 

I made this card today as we have had some sun and it always seems to cheer people up so that's what inspired me :)

I ruffled the edges of the star paper and also embossed a bracket shape before putting everything else on. The bike and notecard is from my cameo which I printed then cut. I used a paper smooches stamp for the greeting. The sun and bird is by kaiserkraft. 

Thank you all so much for visiting me and my lovely followers I really appreciate you all :) I'm still catching up with you all and will be visiting you guys really soon. I hope you have a great evening. 

See you soon!

Girl robot birthday card

Hello crafty friends I hope your all having a good week. I thought after making a boy robot card I should really make one for the girls so here it is. 

I cut out the robot from hero arts using the cameo and the sun was also cut by echo park.  I added some buttons and a doily to make it extra girly. 

Thank you for all your lovely comments and visits I will be stopping by to catch up with you all soon :)

Have a lovely day and will be stopping by very soon :)

Monster love

Hello friends I hope your keeping well and having a lovely Saturday evening, I thought I would just pop in with a card I made tonight. As you know I have a weird thing for monster stamps I'm not sure why I think they are just fun to colour. I used my inktense pencils to colour them in with and done some hand stitching :)

I hope you all have a lovely weekend I will be popping by you all soon :)

Crocodile smiles

Good morning crafty friends, I hope your all keeping well. I made this card this morning for the cute card thursday challenge-here comes summer.

I used some recollections stamps to stamp out the croc, parrot and leaves and I then coloured them in with my inktense pencils. I ran some kraft card stock through an embossing folder to texture the tree and went over this with some brown ink. I then cut out a sun and added a face. Finally I stamped a happy birthday greeting and balloon from hero arts to finish the card.

Thank you so much for popping by I will be visiting you all soon :) I hope you all have a great day.

Dad's TV card

Hello crafty people, I hope you all had a good week. I can't believe Easter is just around the corner! I hope you all have a great time celebrating. I think it's going to be sunny here which will be great.

I made this card today for my dad, I always find men cards a bit of a challenge but I found this cute TV from birdie brown and knew he would love it. I used my derwent pencils to colour him in and a paper smooches stamp for the greeting.

I used some washi tape to put along the bottom and finished the card off with some thickers.

Me to you birthday

Hello crafty friends, I hope your all having a good afternoon.

I made this card for Mrs A's butterfly challenge which you can find here. This card has a lot of elements going on so here goes....

The graph paper is by cosmo cricket, which I hand stitched. The doily topper was die cut and hand stitched again, the bear is a topper I found while rooting round for some other bits. The butterflies were cut using my cameo machine along with some of the rolled flowers. The large flower is form hobbycraft. I then added some buttons to finish the card off.

Good afternoon crafty friends, I hope your all having a good week. The sun is out again today woohoo!

I used a penny black stamp and colored the hedgehog in with my inktense pencils. The rolled flowers and banner were cut using my cameo machine. The newspaper print is also from their store. I had to do some hand stitching it seems a while since I have stitched on my cards, but I have still not got that sewing machine out, I just think we are not going to be friends considering I have busted three needles now....whoops!

Piggy birthday

Hello crafty friends I hope you are having a good start to the week. Did you all have a lovely weekend? It was lovely to have some sunny weather here in the UK.

I made this card all on my silhouette cameo except the stamping,sewing and buttons of course :) I love pigs so I thought I would use one on my card and the fatter they are the better they look so cute. I would really like to have one as a pet but my boyfriend says no, I know one day he will come home and I would have  rescued one so he can't really say no then :)

I have made this card for the following challenge:
