I made this card as an anniversary card for my nephew and his wife.

The image is from Made to Surprise Selfies and the sentiment is from Julie Hickey Designs Flowers for Jean.

Papers are Stampin Up Full of Life and cardsock is also SU in berry burst.

Critter Crazy #89

 Hello again, I am sharing my DT card for Critter Crazy Challenge today where the creture is the main focus. There's a link to the challenge in the sidebar.

Luckily for me bears are allowed so I am sharing this new baby card which I made for everyone at work to sign for a colleague earlier this year

The card base is a 7x7 scalloped from Craft UK

The image and sentiment are both stamps from Lili of the Valley, I think the main image is called Patchwork Hot Air Balloon and I have coloured them with a mix of Copic and Spectrum Noir markers.

The papers are Nitwits Up ,Up and Away and the ribbons and pearls are from stash.

I used Sending Smiles stamps stamped with Memento Ink in Dandelion, Tangelo, Rose Bud and Bamboo Leaves for the flowers and sentiment.

Dies are Sending Dies from Stampin up for the flowers and and sentiment, the oval dies are Polkadoodles.

The papers are Brights DSP 2024 from Stampin Up

Then embellished with some glossies from Julie Hickey.

The card is on a 148x148mm card base.

My second card was made for a birthday back in March, the recipient enjoys his garden.

It uses the following

Craft Creations decoupage sheet - Gardeners Corner

Papers are old Craftwork Cards Springtime, sentiment and card candi are also Craftwork Cards.

I made the 7x7 card base from cardstock.

It's been a busy month as I was covering someone elses role at work for a couple of weeks which wore me out and now I am catching up with my own work. I must get more organised on the blogging front though, I have quite a few cards I haven't shared.

Anyway I will be back on Sunday with my card for Critter Crazy and might try to get back before then.

I am entering my cards in the following challenges

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch 282

 Here is my second card for the current challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

This one uses sketch 282

It's a really simple sketch and a really simple card

The image is from an old Lili of the Valley Artpad - Christmas Cuties

Paper is Polkadoodles Gnome for Christmas

Sentiment - A Craftwork Cards label which I have chopped down.

Here is the sketch

I've struggled a bit recently with the heat in my craft room as it is up in the dormer so blogging has been somewhat neglected recently and I am a bit behind with the cards I need to make so I need to get back ahead with things but work may interfere with that in the next couple of weeks so we'll see.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 DT

 Hello again everyone, thank you for all the good wishes and I am happy to say that I am feeling much better now than I was at the beginning of our holiday.

Well the blog posts are coming thick and fast at the moment (let's see how long I can keep it up) and today I am sharing my first DT card of the month for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

This uses Sketch 281

I've used Trusty Toolbox papers and Trusty Tools dies from Stampin Up on a 5x7 card blank. I needed a quick card so fussy cut the tool images from the papers. 

The sentiment is from Julie Hickey Designs and ribbon is from stash.

Here is Kathies sketch

Critter Crazy July DT

 

Here's my DT card for challenge #88 over at Critter Crazy Challenge which started yesterday.

I used elements from a Papercraft Society Box designed by Sam Calcott of Mixed up Craft.

The images were all coloured with pencils and the wave effect on the blue card is from a stencil.

I made this some time ago and never blogged it so as time was short before my recent holiday I thought that I would utilise it. I think I need to get this kit out and play with it again, this is the joy of stamps of course.

Thank you for visiting and for all the lovely comments left.
