Fathers day isn't far away

Hello, I have been busy making a few fathers day cards.   I thought I would share them with you.  especially as one is made with an image my daughter (Agirlwhocrafts).

Card number one was inspired by an article in paper crafter and is for my Father in Law.   I used some papers I got from Payper box a the NEC show back in March.

This Second card is for my amazing Grandfather, I used some photography images as one of my favourite Child hood memories of him is, when he was in his dark room showing me the magic of developing photo's.

 

Last but by no means least is a joint effort card by myself and my Daughter for my Dear husbands fathers day card.   The image was drawn and coloured by Bex and I just put the card together for her.

Playing with Miss Betty

The lovely sunshine at the weekend meant that whilst I made these two cards I never managed to find time to blog them.  I made them using Music Notes Rio and Ice Queen from Simply Betty Stamps.  I hope you like them I really loved Colouring and creating them for a challenge running over on the Simply Betty face book fan page.

Music Notes Rio

Ice Queen 

 

I coloured both images using my trusty pro markers,

Music Notes Rio, I teamed up with some backing card from my crafty stash, mat and layered her with some black Mirror Board from Creata. The Challenge was to keep use Black, Whit and one other colour.  I chose Blue as it's one of my favourite colours.

 

Ice Queen, I took an 8x8 card Blank and used a spellbinder die to cut out the corners.  Behind that I placed some black and whit gingham paper to give some depth.  The spotty purple velum is some my husband brought back from Japan for me.   The flowers are some I brought and Michael's and brought back from the US and finally I used a little bit of Creata black Mirror board to mat and layer the sentiment and frame the image.

 

I have entered Music Notes Rio into this weeks I love Pro markers challenge.

Schools out for Easter

Today I decided that I really should use some of the fab digital stamps I have been colouring and make some projects.  Then I spotted the Tatty Twinkle from Polkadoodles that Digistamps4Joy were giving away and I just had to have her and colour her.   Tatty Twinkle is also available as a free down load at the moment over at Polkadoodles.  Tatty has been coloured and made into a box card.  I hope you Like the finished project.   Tatty Twinkle sure is the cutest Easter bun I've seen in a while.

I coloured Tatty Twinkle using pro markers and have decorated the Box card using Freebie papers and embellishments from my stash.

This project has been entered into the Make my Monday Easter Challenge

I have coloured the image using pro markers, then mat and layered it in to some coloured card stock and Creata Mirror board.   The backing paper is by the stamping chef and comes with the stamp.  I finished it off with a paper rose in her hair, a ribbon rose and bow all from my crafty stash.

Finally I made a box card...

Wow what a week...  Such a busy weekend that I haven't had chance to blog anything.  So here I am sneaking in a blog post while I am doing my Day Job.. SHHHHH!!!  

the last week has flown by with a trip to the NEC to the Hobby Craft show.  Where Bex and I had to pop by and see Carley.  If only to shamelessly plug that Bex is now selling her Digi's.  Please pop along to her blog to take a peak.  She tell me there are some new ones coming very soon.....

As always with the Hobby Craft show I went with a list of Items a wanted and came back with lots of other stuff mainly paper and card. I also finally brought a scoring board so I could make 3d pop up box cards and stepper cards with out them being wonky...

So here are my 1st two creations with my new stash.

The 1st one I made was using an Elsa by Simply Betty Stamps.  Betty does some fabulous Digital and Rubber stamps. I have teamed this one up with some Creata Mirror board and paper that I purchased at the NEC.  Flower dies and the stay are all by Marianne designs.

 

 

The next one I made just for fun, it gave me the opportunity to use my favourite Creata product 3d flowers and Butterflies.   You heat them up and then you get these beautiful shiny flower shapes and Butterflies. I used some acetate to make the butterflies float.

 



 

Jenna

Yummy Mummy....

March is here and this month It's a big Birthday for my Mum (60) and it's mothers day.  So I used my Mum as inspiration for today's card.  I used an Image called Penny's Hanging Heart from Dilly Beans. I love the simple beauty of these images they remind me of one of my favourite Artist's McKenzie Thorpe. 

I coloured in the Image using my Trusty Pro markers, I used some Creata Mirror board and some Freebie papers to do a bit of Mat and Layering,  then to finish it all off I used my Alphabet stamps by Do crafts stamped onto some Coloured card stock.
