Early Bird Latte Card

Hello,

I'm loving my Stampin Up stamps at the moment and I recently bought the stamp set Perfect Blend from the new 2013 - 2014 Catalogue.

For the below card I stamped the cup and teamed it with the Art Impressions See you with a latter stamp. It makes me laugh!

For the inside I added coffee beans from Like it a Latte Stampin Up stamp set.

Hope you like it a Latte!!!!!
sorry couldn't resist

Doggy update

Hi there,

I though I would post a recent picture of my puppies. Buster (the Dalmatian) turned 11 on the 5th August and Millie is now 13 and a half. This was taken the other morning when we were having snuggles after they had come back from their walk and were a little bit tired!

First Day of School Card

Hi,

My great Nephew starts school on Monday so I made him a First day of School card. The background paper is from Doodlebug, had it in my stash for ages. The Paper, scissors and the pencil are cut from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge and the little picture in the right hand corner is stamped using the boy stamp from the Stampin Up All in the Family.

Good Luck for your first day of school Kade, we love and miss you. xx

Thanks for looking.

Koala Hugs Tilda Card

Hi,

Below is a card I made for my husbands aunt who came out to Australia over the Christmas holidays.  We didn't know she was coming and it was a wonderful surprise to go to dinner at Neil's aunt, who already lives in Australia and see her there.  We gave her the card as a little thank you for coming out and sharing some time with us all.

I coloured Tilda (from the Magnolia stamp range) using my Spectrum Noir Pens and used paper from a Kaiser craft pad and the card shape is cut out on the Cricut. Then I wrapped brown twine around the bottom and added a beige button to go with the natural theme of the card.

Thanks for looking.

Stampendous Mermaid

Hi,

I made Sophie a picture using the Stampendous Mermaid stamp. Isn't it a beautiful stamp?  I have stamped her on Watercolour paper and coloured her in using watercolour pencils.  The fancy frame around her is from the Fancy Frames Cricut Cartridge. I have added the starfish to the bottom of the frame and a small sea shell.  I gave the frame a bit of an aged look by sanding around the edges to make it a bit more interesting.

It did sit on Sophie's bookshelf until the Build a Bears and Ty Beanies took over!

I now have her back in my craft room.

 

Thanks for Looking and have a good weekend.

Art Nouveau Anniversary Card

Hi,

Neil (my husband) and I celebrated our 17th Wedding Anniversary in June. I made him the below card using the Art Nouveau Cricut Cartridge.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up. I have used shades of pink for the flowing material and added small flowers. The main dress is cut from a shiny cream paper I had in my stash. I have added sparkles through her hair but sort of wish I hadn't now. 

 

 

 

The next card is what Sophie made us. Isn't is great. She is so talented and made this on her own without any help. The heart die cut is from Memory Box. We were very please to receive her beautiful card.

Thank you baby!

   

 

 

Thank you for looking.

Tea Cup Easel Card

It's my Mum's birthday on Saturday 27th July. I made her the below card as she loves her cups of tea! I made the cup like an easel card so it stands up. I cut a spoon on the Cricut and added foam dots to raise it so the cup sat nicely behind it. The doily that the card sits on is from Paper Lace Cricut Cartridge. The cup is made using the large Spellbinders Nested Tea Cup die. I have just used a scallop punch and stamped Happy Birthday on it from the Stampin Up Well Scripted Stamp Set. 

 

 

 

Hope she receives it in time for Saturday. Luckily the UK has a postal delivery on a Saturday morning. Happy Birthday for Saturday Mum, Love and miss you loads.

 

Thanks for looking. x
