Flowery Zoo

I think these are called spinner cards? The animals are two sided and spin round. I actually found a super cute paper mobile kit (from Papermania) and decided it would make a different kind of card. When you make a lot of cards for the same family you have to think about fresh ideas! NotContinue reading “Flowery Zoo”

Trick Or Treat?

Happy Dr.Digi FriYay! I am popping on the blog today to share a Halloween Card! I love how Halloween always leads to extra creepy inspo and bright clashing colours! This is the digistamp “Trick Or Treat” from Dr.Digi’s House of Stamps, one of my Halloween favs! This is a fun image to colour, I confessContinue reading “Trick Or Treat?”

Thank you, dog version!

On a similar thread to yesterday’s post, I went back to my Making Cards Magazine Freebie papers and pulled out some bits to make a pair of dog themed thank you cards too! Flowery background paper is from an 8×8 Paper Pad called – Midsummer Mornings from Tonic Studio. The bling is from B&M bargain,Continue reading “Thank you, dog version!”

Thank you!

A quick pair of Thank you Cards using freebie papers from Making Cards Magazine! Figure if I can make a couple of cards from every mag, I pay for the subscription. Like the logic? lol! I am also on a personal mission to use up my ancient brad and ribbon stash! Also just making sureContinue reading “Thank you!”

Birthday at the Zoo

I think I have had several fun birthday outings to the Zoo, it’s one of my fav things to do, tho I think I might be a bit of a photo-bore and always trying to grab a good shot! My friend Amy Hurley Purdie recently did a set of cards using some of her awesomeContinue reading “Birthday at the Zoo”

More balloons!

My penultimate catch-up post! Finally nearing the end of the outstanding posts list! I seem to have been at it for ages, lol! This card was a lot of work, though I really wanted to have a go at a “Shadow Box” style card regardless of how hard it might be. This was a commissionContinue reading “More balloons!”

Koi

This was a themed birthday card using a traditional koi tattoo image. I used zig markers and water to colour it, and then made it into a simple easel card. I added stickles glitter glue, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Bling from Shimelle. I tried a few versions of it, I also like thisContinue reading “Koi”

Feline Spooky?

I think Feline Spooky Annie from Stamp Anniething may be feline herself for this stamp! She seems to have some added sexy sass going on, and I am very ok with that 😀 Really enjoyed colouring her up, also spent far too long on the pumpkin! 😀 This is another stencil-pencil card, but before IContinue reading “Feline Spooky?”

Oh Deer.

So this was a commissioned card for one of my besties. Her partner wanted something special for her 50th! We had been talking about stag tattoo designs for yonks so this is why it has a bit of a tattoo-ish feel about it. She does now have a stag tattoo, but not this design. ThisContinue reading “Oh Deer.”

Pub Quiz

This is a 21st birthday card commission, for a great crafty friend who wanted something pub themed for her son who has landed a great job with one of the pub chains. It was pretty hard to take a picture of, it’s both very large and a Z -fold. But if you layout in thisContinue reading “Pub Quiz”
