A couple of cards I made for my Niece's 18th Birthday

Hi all wow what a gorgeous day it has been. I have put the trampoline back up for Marc and Chloe - hope this gorgeous weather lasts the Easter holidays.

At the beginning of the week a special Niece was 18 and I wanted to show the cards I made.


First is a gorgeous cute bear holding a teddy stamped image (I got this free from a Magazine) which I have coloured in using pro-markers. I have just kept this simple.



The second I have used a Forever friend stamp imaged ( I thought I was actually buying the stamp when I bidded on these on ebay but turned out to be an image that what I get for not reading properly before bidding). I coloured image in with pro-markers and finished off with glitter on the shoes. The backing paper is flocking paper and I finished off with peel off ribbon, brades and flower emblishements.

Forever Friend Birthday Card

Hi all managed to get a couple of cards made - I have decided especially when Chloe starts full time school to devote Tuesday and Thursday to crafting days and then I can at least get a few cards made and not trying to do housework constantly feeling like I am that hampster on a wheel and not getting much of it done (especially when they return home and the house looks like a bomb has just been dropped.




Well my two have been invited to a birthday party tomorrow. So using my gorgeous new Forever Friend stamps ( from the Good Life Range) I put together this gorgeous card - nice to have some for the men for a change. i stamped my image on circle nestie die and then I coloured in using pro-markers finished off by using scalloped edged nestie background - backing papers are from The Good Life (A5 pack) and finished with peel offs.

pro-markers used:
Vanilla, poppy red, black, meadow green

2 more Christmas Cards

Hi the next two cards are a couple more Christmas Cards I have made for snoflake's Christmas Card challenge (however I have fallen behind in this so I am thinking of dropping out) I have made alot of cards but because I have quite a few using the same style and image and technique I think it is unfair to submit them (as I am hoping to be selling a few more this year - fingers crossed) and also I cant seem to juggle everything in at the moment still - crafting - school run both morning and night with Chloe still being at nursery - excersie - spending time with family etc.. (not sure how some people manage - my hat goes off to those who can.

Anyhow the cards :-


the first is just a simple 6 by 6 inch card - using Forever Friends Christmas stamp coloured in using pro-markers and finished with a bit glitter and gems. (for colours of pro-markers used please see christmas topper post below thanks.)




The second is this gorgeous little girl angel which was a free digi stamp - not sure where I got it from but if anyone interested in here I can e-mail just let me know. I coloured her in using pro-markers and finished with a bit glitter on her wings.

Hopefully can get a few more cards made which are not Christmas next week ....

Popcorn bear Mother's Day Card

Hi all, turning out to be a gorgeous sunny day here. Hopefully we get a good summer this year.. fingers crossed. I have made a start on Chloe's and Marc's Christmas cards for school - as I will have about 60 or more to do. I will concentrate on the Teachers ones a bit nearer the time I think when I find out who they will be getting.

Since all I have in my head is still Christmas it was good to make my mam's Mother's Day Card and start using some lovely spring/summer colours.

Well the card, size is A5, the stamp imaged is Popcorn bear which I have coloured in using pro-markers (unfortuntely I colours image in a while ago and cannot remember the exact ones I have used). Which I have finished with glitter on the petals of the daffodils. Background papers and paper boarder is what I have had in my stash (got kit from Create and Craft a few years ago) and finished with a flowers at the bottom and gold ribbon up the side.

Christmas Toppers - Forever Friends

Finally I have also been making some Christmas Toppers. I have stamped Forever Friends stamped image on scallopped edge card (from Create and craft section in Wilkinsons) and stuck them on the outer card again scallopped using Nestie dies. I have coloured my imaged using pro-markers and finished with glitter on hats.

These are available for sale on ebay in packs of 2.

pro-markers used
bears coloured in Vanilla
China blue, Berry Red, pastel pink on hats and scarf
gold, coral and pastel blue on presents and under bear
pastel green on holy

A couple more christmas Cards

I have made a couple more Christmas Cards to the stash starting to be put away for selling nearer Christmas.

The first is just a basic card from a Dawn Bibbys Designs Christmas Card Kit (Kanban from QVC) I thought this could be used either for Christmas Card or a Birthday card for people in December/January -

The second is a new Forever Friends stamp I bought of a fellower Docrafts member - I have coloured the image in with pro-markers and finished with glitter on the rim of his hat and pom pom. Finished with a couple of flowers and the words "Merry Christmas"


pro-markers used - Vanilla, berry red, gold, pastel green

Hi a few cards I have been making

Hi all what a couple of weeks trying to get back into a routine. Marc and Chloe were poorly over the holidays and the first week back at school for Chloe. It have taken me another week just to try and get settled back into some kind of routine and balance of family and crafting.

Well I am just going to show these cards as they are from a Kanban pack I got from QVC - (in their clearance sale) I love dragons and I found the pack so irresitable.
