CELEBRATE

Good evening and a card today using a colour combo in spired by color throwdown challenge celebrating the 4th of July which just happens to be my birthday. When I was very young me and my family moved to America for a few years and always thought  that the flags put out on houses that day were to celebrate my birthday and why not.

 

So here is my card for my birthday and the 4th of July and the craft items used in this card are

Spellbinders "Grand Rectangles" and "A2 Curved Matting Basics"

Hobbycraft Ink Pads "Metallic Blue" and "Xmas Red"

Waltzingmouse Stamps "Say It Loud" and "Teeny Trees"

card stock and red glitter

That's all for now so take care.

 

 



FOR A FRIEND

We are back over at one stop craft challenge having had a few weeks off to recharge the batteries and this week's challenge is "For a Friend".

 

For my card a bit of a safari theme going on with a super digi stamp from our sponsors "patties creations" and if you pop over to her shop you will find more cute and fun images for all events.

The winner of this week's challenge will receive 3 images from her lovely store.

Will be back again later today with a blog candy give away.

 





CONGRATULATIONS

A card today using colour inspiration from this week's challenge over at

 

After creating the floral background to this card using Recollections Clear Stamps "Freedom Flowers" then coloured in with Sakura Glaze Pens the rest of the card came together very quickly

The panels were cut out with Spellbinders "A2 Curved Matting Basics" and the sentiment is from American Crafts Stamp set "Baby".

A group of red flowers adds the finishing touch to this card giving it a clean and uncluttered look.

Back again very soon so take care in the meantime.

 

 



OH BABY

Hello and it had to happen but the rain has returned but still a good excuse to get some crafting in and today a cute baby  card which could be  for girl or boy although I did have a baby girl in mind when doing this. Sometimes it is nice to get away from the usual pinks and instead use some bright summery colours for a change.

 

The bear stamp is from a lovely set by Kanban called Wooly Bears and this is Isobel and what I like is that you also get some clothing for her like the top on my card which are easy to cut out and add ontop of the stamped image.

Other items used are:

Spellbinders "Hexagons"

American Crafts Stamp Collection "Baby"

Promarkers

 

Iwould like to enter this card into the following challenges

 

friday mashup - hexagons and girlie

just-add-ink.blogspot.co.uk - sketch challenge

 

Thats all for now but take care until the next time

 

 





THINKING OF YOU

Good afternoon had a morning in the garden enjoying the sun before updating my blog with a sweet little card.

 

The colour inspiration for this card was inspired by the colour challenge over at color throwdown.blogspot.co.uk/

 

 

 

The main part of the card was formed using Spellbinders "Butterflies Circles" and "Standard Circles Large"and the fallout of little butterflies were coloured with Promarkers before placing back in the circle. The flowers along the centre were made using Joy Crafts "Small Roses"cutting stencil and finished off with a gem in the centre.The sentiment was stamped using KaiserCraft Mini Stamps "Greeting."

Take care friends and if in the UK hope we continue with this wonderful weather.
