Baby Boy Cards

Today I wanted to share with you a couple of personalised baby boy cards that I made for a friend. I had to make these cards quite quickly so I kept the designs relatively simple and similar. The stamps I used for the words were from docrafts and Paperchase and I stamped these in a black ink. I added some embellishments and some twine just to finish them off nicely. I also don't have a baby onesie die (I have been after a good one for a while :p) so I simply made one out of some white cardstock. It's not perfect a I hand drew it and then fussy cut it. I think it turned out quite well :p

Happy New Year!

I would just like to wish everybody a happy and wonderful 2015! I know I have been rather absent lately but I have just been completely absorbed by job hunting, Uni work, dissertations and all things Maths that are currently going on in my life, I have made a promise that in 2015 I will get this blog back up and running again. Call it my New Years resolution :p

Thankyou all for reading and bearing with me in this difficult time.

Personalised Wedding Card

Today I wanted to show you a Wedding Card I made a while ago for a lovely couple Ashley and Dean. Ashley actually used to babysit me when I was younger :p 

All of the text is embossed using a papermania silver embossing powder and I added some pearls as decoration. The frame was from a Gorjuss stamps set which I stamped in a grey ink and then fussy cut it out. I then matted this onto some plain black card so it stood out from the card blank and cut it out again. Lastly I mounted it with foam tape onto a white card blank.

Just thought I'd do a bit of shameless plugging for my twitter account :P

Masculine Birthday Card using Avery Elle Brushed

Hello folks, today I would like to share an (almost) one layer card with you.

I wanted to experiment using my new Avery Elle Pigment Inks and I chose the Brushed stamp set, also by Avery Elle, to create this card. 

The inks colours I used were Lemon Grass, Aquamarine, Mint to Be & Sapphire to give a more masculine feel to the card. I stamped these colours using the various brush stroke and ink splatt stamps.

I then stamped the "happy birthday" greeting in some black pigment ink from dovecraft and attached the panel to some kraft cardstock.

Voilà.

 

Products that I used:

My First Ever Mama Elephant Purchase!

Hello there! Today I wanted to share with you my very first Mama Elephant purchase! I must say this does make me very excited indeed! I have loved Mama Elephant products for ageeeess, but being in the UK it is hard to get ahold of them without having them shipped from the USA.    However, there is an online shop based in my hometown of Sheffield here in the UK called Make the Day Special which sells all of the hard to get products from America. You have to be quick though! :P
Here is what I purchased, arent they beautiful!


The stamp sets I purchased from left to right are: 

• In My Heart
• Bountiful Blessings
• Up & Away
• Pandamonium

Thankyou for stopping by!
