Card Making

Happy Birthday Bethany

on October 13, 2010

Today is a special day – it’s my niece’s birthday!!

Happy Birthday Bethany!!

Bethany is coming to visit at the end of the month, and we are very excited already. We’ve been wracking our brains trying to think of a million exciting things to do whilst she is over here with my mum and dad. I’m sure we’ll get some crafting in there somewhere! Lets just say that Bethany loves her craftiness just as much as I do!

So lets talk about the card:

You’ll recognise another piece of black cardstock as the base! Yes, yes…i’m getting a little addicted to this fun colour for a cardbase! The paper is from My Minds Eye Quite Contrary collection, and I love the way the colours contrast with the black background. I have the 6×6 pack, and the colours are fantastic, and there is also a few pages full of cut out images, which is what I have used for the topper. To add a bit of flair, I embossed the flourish stamp in black embossing powder and used adhesive pearls to embellish the image. Then I used stickles
to create a glittery border to the topper – to give an even more girly feel!

The flower was given to me as a gift, so I’m not sure where it comes from, but I stuck it in place with some trusty gluedots! Gotta love those gluedots!

Thanks for stopping by, and i’ll be back soon with another crafty creation!

Pac-Man Fun!

on October 7, 2010

Hi everyone,

Yeaaaah, you all remember this little dude, don’t ya!?

I bet every single one of you have a ‘waka waka waka’ noise going through your head just now, huh?

After setting myself the challenge to use black cardstock last week, I had a piece lying around on my craft desk that was staring at me.

You may also remember that I mentioned that I was making some cards for Craigy’s workmates, and well, this one was inspired by his colleague Phil, who has the most awesome pac man hoodie.

Put these two things together: black cardstock and some computer gamey inspiration, and the result is this quick, cute card!

Such little effort resulted in a card that is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone of the pac man era.

Miss You Monday – Fuzzy Wishes

on October 4, 2010

Hi everyone,

Yep, we’re still working on redesigning the website, so I hope you will bear with us as we experiment and play. I am already SO much happier with it, I hope that you guys will find it easier to use & navigate too. It’ll be a little while before I finish the new blog header and fix the colours so its all pretty! But until then, you should still be able to see the posts and so i’ll continue sharing my projects with y’all.

But for now…..Happy Monday!!!

We had a busy weekend here at Casa de HungryHeffy, but it’s been lots of fun for sure!

Friday night was Pamper evening at Bex’s house and I treated myself to the most divine foot massage! Oohhh i just love foot massages! Saturday morning was a midwife appointment, and we got to hear baby Oman’s heartbeat strong and steady ♡. It’s so amazing, and crazy to think that he or she has grown so big already. I’m nearly half way there and it has gone so quickly! Saturday evening we were entertaining Mark & Helen, and the Peach Cobbler went down a storm! Seriously, try out the recipe here, its nommy! Sunday was an early start as we drove to Heathrow to pick up Jeremy, who is just back from Oregon, then we were working on the website all afternoon 🙂 (we’ll, i did manage to squeeze in a little bit of crafting of course!)

And so, this brings me to today’s post, yes – a Miss You Monday card. Jeremy is back from Oregon, and Sarah, Randolph and Juliet are still there until the visas are sorted, which means that you will be seeing some more Miss You Monday cards for a little while yet! Yippeeee!

For today’s card I used the cute Owlies from Hampton Arts footlong collection – aren’t they the sweetest- along with a few more fun products, which I’ve listed below…
