Another 1st Birthday Card

This is the other card I've made for Emily's 1st birthday, its for my mum to give her.

As its such a lovely sunny day I've photographed it outside on my balcony. This is my balcony, not a great view! My boyfriends a gardener and he did the flowers and pots for me as a present, he's so lovely!

Back to the card, its a large 8x8 card and Ive used papers by K&Co called sparkly sweet. The stamp is from Sugarnellie its by Mary Hall and is called Party Parade.

This is the inside that I've only just finished this morning, the flowers are Prima, the middle shape is Nesties Labels One.

1st Birthday Card

Here is a first birthday card I've made to give to my brothers niece. I used a new stamp from Pennyblack called team effort, I really love the bear and may have to add to my pennyblack collection with some more of these. The papers are Papermania, flowers are from wild orchid crafts, lettering is Sizzix.

I also did the inside.

I've got to make another one for my mum to give so that's my challenge for today.

Ladies Devine

I'm back! Yes I am once again back in the world of crafting, thank God! Its been a long hard few weeks for me living out of a suitcase in Manchester for three weeks then Nottingham for two, I passed my course with flying colours thankfully and am now free to craft once again in my poor neglected craft room.

This card was made for my boyfriends sisters birthday, he wanted a cow on it (typical cheeky older brother!). The stamp is a pennyblack one called Ladies Devine, coloured with Copics, papers are K&Co Sparkly Sweet, flowers are Prima.

I making a new home card at the moment using a very cute Elzybells stamp that I've had for a while and has never been inked up, unfortunately my mum has the camera so I wont be able to take a picture of it before I give it to the recipient tonight at a house warming party, I must remember to get the camera back soon!

Summery Tilda

With the lovely weather we're having at the moment I decided to make a summery coloured card and used this cute Tilda image on it, coloured with Copics, the background stamp is a WOJ one. The papers are from a Brenda Pinnick scrapbook kit. I've just got some new coated card to use with my Copics and am just about to try it out for the first time, hopefully it will make blending the colours easier- or so I've heard! I'm loving using my Copics and will have to invest in some more pretty soon!

Gold and Ivory

That was the brief for this birthday card commissioned by my friend Ben for a pal of his. I hope he likes it!

The stamp is called New York Socialite and is by Stamps Happen, its been coloured with Copics and I've added a little glitter to her bling. The flowers are Prima and Papermania, the rest of the card is made out of stuff from my stash, which has had a bit of a makeover! I've had to make room in my craft room that was overflowing so have sorted a load of stuff to give to my boyfriends sister who is also into card making. Hmmm maybe that means I can buy more stuff now....

Thanks A Bunch

I've made a small thank you card from circle nesties, using a Penny Black image received in an image swap ages ago coloured with Copics. The papers are from a Brenda Pinnick scrapbook kit and the flowers are Primas, I think the sentiment is by Whiff Of Joy but I'm not 100% on that.

Thank you Emma and Jo for your help on my earlier problem, it just stopped it its self after about half hour of doing it so I still don't know what it was.

I'm off to Ascot Races on Friday for the day so keep your fingers crossed the weather stays good for me, I'm wearing a purple dress so hope I didn't look too much like Barney the Dinosaur or a Ribena Berry, I'll post some pics if I get any good ones!
