Hey there guys! and a very Happy Mothers’ day to my overseas friends! I hope you all get celebrated with love, and i hope you all get spoilt rotten too! <3
Today's card is a New Home card for my colleague Eamonn, and it features some of my fave stamp companies as well as a new (to me) company that i am very impressed with! 🙂
I was cooing over my recent purchase - the mama elephant All Prettied Up die set - and i realised that the box looked a bit like the roof of a house. So seeing as i wanted to make a New Home card for Eamonn anyway, i thought i would give it a whirl!
Isn't mister Tortoise cute! At Piper's school this week, one of the teachers brought in their pet tortoise to show the class. Princess Pi was very impressed that she knew the difference between a tortoise and a turtle! Bless her! She was doing better than me because i'm pretty sure i referred to this wee guy as a turtle in the video! Whooopsie!
So as usual, i was playing with Distress Inks, and some Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant goodies, but i added a SSS stamp from the Sending Happy Mail stamp set, and i also used a stamp set from Clearly Besotted, called Sentimental Type. I recently picked up two CB stamp sets (both crammed packed with greetings) and so far i am liking the quality and the variety! I hope I get a chance to try out some more of their range.
It was a bank holiday weekend with us this weekend, and unfortunately we had a poorly pickle, so i never got to post a video on Sunday as i had originally planned. But better late than never, huh?!
This is a Get Well Soon card for my Uncle Robin, who had some much awaited surgery last week. We visited him when Piper and I were in Ireland last month, and we all sat on his bed and looked thorough his sketchbooks and art stash – Piper even drew a picture inside a sketchbook and used his polychromos pencils to colour it in – (I’m not jealous!!! :-S ok, maybe i am!!)
I didn’t really want to put Get Well Soon on the card, but thought that it would look better with a greeting saying “wishing you a speedy recovery”. Of course, i didn’t have any perfect stamps with exactly that greeting, but in the video you can see how i made it work with the supplies that i do have! 🙂
The card also features some die cutting combos! Once again, i knew what i wanted to do, so i played around with what i already have in order to make it work! I think it turned out pretty cute!
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you have had a crafty week!
I have a card to share which features some delicious ink smooching!! This technique is so much fun, and i love the way it looks- not sure why i don’t do it more often!
I have teamed up my distress ink smooching with a Simon Says Stamp kitty stamp from the You Are Pawesome set, and Lawn Fawn Milo’s ABCs, and an ‘i love you’ stamp from Technique Tuesday.
I also used the Mama Elephant All Prettied Up die set to create the box and scalloped panel.
Here’s the video, have fun! and please hit that thumbs up button if you like it! YEAY!! 🙂
