It's Father's Day

Happy Father's Day everyone. This is the card that I made tall child for her step-dad. Wouldn't dare say that it reminds me of him at all lol!....

Paper: Funky Fairys and Papercreator (bunting and stars)

Card Base: Silhouette Cameo - love being able to make shaped cards

Father's Day Tomorrow

I always try to make my Father-In-Law a Scottish and preferably Isle of Lewis themed fathers' day and birthday card. It seemed like a good idea at the time but 10 years later I'm kind of struggling.................

This is an image off the internet that I've printed onto photo paper for a bit of a shine and matted and layered onto a DL card then added some tartan ribbon which is similar to the correct Morrison one.

Lots of Sparkle with Papercreator

Can't believe it's already a month round and time for another challenge at Papercreator! The theme this time is Sparkle! Unfortunately as me and glitter just don't get on although I do keep trying I've resorted to glitter card and gems for my sparkle and you can never go wrong with a bear.

I've made my card with the Make A Wish shaped Easel card I love easel cards they're that bit more special and with this one you can just print and cut it no dodgy measuring.

Teddy Bo Father's Day

Paper: My Minds Eye

Sentiment: Woodware and Clevercut Stamps

It's Father's Day in the UK on Sunday and I had a commission for 2 cards for her daughter's godfathers for the day. They are both the same layout but the different paper seems to make a big difference to how they look

Button it at Fussy and Fancy Friday

It was my turn to choose the challenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday this time and as I may have a few buttons lying around I chose that as my theme

I've used the Papercraftor button flowers decoupage kit today for a Birthday come New Home card - how cute is that button backing paper????
The sentiment is a really really old one that I bought years ago from the GNPE at Harrogate.

Teddy Bea Communion card

 Image: TEDDYBEA_078

Paper: Memory Box

Embossed Hearts: Cuttlebug border folder

Sentiment: Computer Generated

I'd never made a Communion card before so was excited to receive a request for a personalised one.

The lady who commissioned it loved it - fortunately

Bear and Owls - for a couple of cuties

This is the Just Because 6x6 card kit although I have added a bit of embossed kraft card, matted the layers onto mirror cards and cut a out a couple of flowers rather than decoupaging him. The sentiment is a Wellington bear one

If you don't want a full card kit there are also just toppers like these Owl ones that also includes a backing paper although mine is a First Edition Daydream one cut in an arched window using my Silhouette. The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley one.

As I had a couple of images spare I used them to put on the front of a couple of notepads that I keep handy.

Catch up May birthday cards

 Marvin the Monkey from Pollycraft

 Not sure about this one - Designed to Delight maybe? Ticket by Whimsy

 Lili of the Valley and Cuddly Buddly Sentiment

Pollycraft and Blonde Moments sentiment

I've been a rubbish blogger so far this month and I have a lot of birthdays so lots of cards have left Padster towers - anyhoo here they all are.

And I have a new stamp for the back of my cards from Nicky at Stamping All Day there's a huge choice of verses and they're really reasonable - I ordered this one and had it in a couple of days.

Friday yet again

Paper: Craftwork Cards

Bunting: Personal Impressions Stamp set

Letters: Stamps Away

I was tidying up last week before our rellies arrived for the weekend and found this very very old Bo printed out and a pack of Craftwork Cards papers that I had forgoten all about so using some card offcuts and my new bunting stamps I made them into a card

Old Bear Friends

I'm a tad late with my Papercreator post today - I blame the rubbish weather and the short week!

Today I've used the Friends DL card kit just printing the layers and the papers out. I used one layer on the card above and the other one to make a second card adding my own wording with some letter stamps and a bit of ribbon

Paper Creator Challenge

It's time for my first challenge over at Paper Creator's Crafts  today and we have a nice easy theme of Anything Goes to ease me in gently. I've used the Sail Away card kit for my card although I have added an extra paper layer from the Nitwits Ahoy captain kit which I already had but had never used.

The ship's wheels were a free Silhouette file from Cuttable.com and the sentiment is a Wellington Bear one.
Please nip over and join in with our challenge as there's a great prize and loads of brilliant products in the store

It must Bea Friday

A really quick card today the image is a pre-coloured one from Teddy Bo (TEDDYBEA_003) and the flower layer was cut from First Edition's paper with my Silhouette which I also used to cut the blue layer and the card blank.

More Ears

When I was making Noah is all ears I decided Sally couldn't be left out so here she is starring on her own card.

Paper: Papermania Henbury Lane
Sentiment: Wellington Bear

Great British Sewing Bea

Paper: Sarah Hurley

Paper on card blank: Sassy Designs Chai Latte

Sentiment: Cuddly Buddly

I meant to post this one a while ago as I really loved watching the Great British Sewing Bea and am so glad it's coming back for a second series. I printed the digi paper directly onto a sheet of linen card and then cut it out into the cotton reel shape on my Silhouette.

A little bit of news

 Today would normally be my day for Whimsy Inspiration but due to my micro craft business taking up more of my time I'm just not able to make a card a week and comment on challenge entries so have sadly made the decision to resign.

I've also been using  ready coloured images and my Silhouette machine a load more recently so I was over the moon when Debbie asked me if I would like to join the Papercreator Design Team especially as she is a licensed Sassy Cheryl reseller so I no longer have to struggle to her digis justice.

I've used Noah All Ears Kit to make my card and added some stars cut with a Sizzix Framelits die and Letters from a Whimsy Stamp set. I've printed Noah himself onto photo paper which gives him a tiny bit of shine
