Babies 1st Birthday

This is a sweet little babe from a designer called Lori Boyd and shes called sugar sticks baby megan, you can buy her here. I have coloured her with promarkers which I really like to use and embelished with glamour dust, then cut out with my new nellie snellen doily circle die. The DP is from forever friends which I attached to the card and then used a hobbycraft heart corners punch and a hobby craft border punch at the bottom of the card. I then used a martha stewart doily punch on the button DP which is forever friends again. The spot organza ribbon and the heart pin are from the ribbon girl and the flowers are from dinkybutnice on ebay. The circle sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs, to finish off I added 2 small heart buttons.

Bargain Stamps

I went to my local Hobbycraft yesterday just to browse, I didn't go for anything specific. But I saw a box of stamps reduced to 99p so I just had to take a look. And this is what I got, I am quite chuffed as I don't usually get any bargains.

Scooter card

This was a quick card I made for my Hubby's pal Geoff. They are all into Northern Soul and Skah music and they love the scooters, so this is the theme to this card. I have used a Kanban stamp. I have coloured with Promarkers and paper pieced the union jack. I then cut out with a spellbinders die and mounted on to red card. The DP I have had for ages and I don't remember where I got it from. I have added a mod sentiment from a clipart site, The 50th birthday circle sentiment is from TLC creations and the top right sentiment is computer generated. I think he'll love it.

I have used Stella from bugaboo and coloured with pro markers and sakura glaze and glitter pens. I then mounted on to navy card. The DP is from papermania, I have attached a cream ribbon and bow. The sentiment comes with the image and the circle sentiment is computer generated by me, hope she likes.

JLS Birthday card

This is a request from my friend michelle, Her niece loves JLS and I kind of panic when something like this gets requested. I have used an image from a magazine and mounted it on to black card. I have added a silver organza ribbon, I have used a marianne flower die for the flower and added a glitter brad to the centre. The top sentiment strip is computer generated by me the bottom one is from pink petticoat.

Victoria case 'Look at me'

I just love Victoria Case stamps, she is one of my favourites and I have been buying a bundle of her stamps every payday because I want them all!!!

This one was a freebie from Victoria called ' Look at me', she is very generous with her freebies. The card is for a friend of mine, her niece is 16 soon and wanted a girly card, I thought of this image straight away as it's good for teenagers. I have coloured her with Promarkers and sakura glitter pens, mounted her onto pink then cream card and punched a border with my MS doily punch, and added some white ribbon, pink bakers twine and some hot pink pearls. The DP is from Nitwits. I have die cut some heart DP also from nitwits with a marianne doily die, then added the Birthday circle stamp which is from cats life press.. The flowers are from dinkybutnice on ebay, very reasonable prices and good quality, I have added some clear stickles to these and added some branches cut again with a MS punch, to finish I have added seam binding and fancy pins from the ribbon girl.
