Too Cute Digi Stamp

My good friend Sharon ( of Cards by Request blog fame) celebrated her birthday this week

I wanted to make her a card with an image she wouldn't have seen before and was delighted when I found this fabulous digital image from Digi Doodle Shop.

I've coloured with Copics, Star Dust Stickles to flowers and SU Crystal Effects to shoes and ribbon on hat.

The pattern paper is from DCWV, added flowers, MS butterfly punch, SU border punch, bling and cuttlebug corner adornment. The "Happy Birthday' is a rub-on and the idea for "It's all about the accessories" came from another talented card maker named Sharon (must be something in the name).

Hope you're enjoying your weekend and thanks for looking.

Teenager

Wow what a busy month its been for birthdays. This card was made for our good friend Dylan who has just become a teenager.
The image is a digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil Too called 'Video Boy'. I've coloured with copics and cut out image before mounting onto embossed cardstock. The pattern paper is from Kaisercraft 'Rewind Collection.' The sketch I've used is #101 from Friday Sketchers Added grunge stars and arrows and an altered ticket digi stamp from an unknown source.

Hope you enjoyed the weekend. Back to work for me tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Zac's birthday

This is a digi image from Mo's Digital Pencil.

They have some of the most gorgeous images and especially cute children images.

I've coloured this with copics and used pattern paper from the new Kaisercraft  range called 'Jungle Bug Collection'. Blue and orange cardstock from Stampin Up.

Hope you like.

Tilda Mothers Day

This easel card was made for my Mum for Mothers Day this weekend. It's a case of a card made by the fabulous Dena which can be found here.

I've used ' Tilda with hat' -  coloured skin, socks & hat with copics and used distress ink for hair. I've paper pieced dress & hat ribbon with background pattern paper. The pattern paper is K & Co; the cardstock is bazzill & SU confetti cream. Added lace, pearls, flowers and sewing.

The greeting 'Just for You' is from stampin up and the inside verse is from Verses Rubber stamps called 'Mothers Place'

Thanks for looking and wishing all mothers a very happy mothers day.

Tilda Debutante Ball

Our goddaughter made her debut on Saturday night, so I made her this card to celebrate the occasion.
It was a very special and successful night for 16 very clever girls (and equally fabulous parents) who actually organized the whole event themselves, as there were no Debutante Balls planned for our area. The theme of the night was butterflies and pastels with a few of the girls opting to wear pastel coloured dresses in place of the more traditional white.

The card is made using pattern paper from Papermania & card stock from Stampin Up. Tilda is from the new fairytale collection - 'Maid Marrion Lady Tilda' - coloured with copics and lots of stickles. Added flowers, punched leaves, tulle, lace, charm, pearls, and punched butterfly.

I've entered this card in the Charisma Cardz Challenge #17 -   'Girly card with flowers'

Thanks for looking.

Teenage Thank You

 


I was asked to make a Thank You card for a debutante ball partner. I think this should cover it. The inspiration for this card came from Jody Collins which can be found here.

The image is from Squigglefly digital stamps, coloured with copics. The pattern paper is from the Kaisercrafts Rewind Collection. I've used the SU spiral punch,metal brads, stars coloured with SU More Mustard pens and punched from Tim Holtz grungeboard. The U Rock stamp is from Little Paper Shop and shape cut with Nestables labels one.

Thanks for looking.

Happy 50th Sharon

This card was made especially for my friend Sharon who is celebrating her 50th birthday.

The image is a RAK from Sharon (Cards by Request) and coloured with copics. The pattern paper is from Kaisercraft paper pad - 'Shaken Not Stirred Collection' mounted onto black and red SU cardstock. The number was cut from my friend's cricuit and has dimensional magic added to lift it. The image was cut out and mounted onto white cuttlebug swiss dots oval (I wiped a red stamp pad over the dots to colour them). Kaisercraft pearls, MM greeting and organzer ribbon added to finish.

Thanks for looking and hope your having a great weekend.

Surfer Tilda Frame/Easel Card

This is my first try at a Frame Card. This was a challenge over at Magnolia-licious earlier this year but as yet I haven't been brave enough to try. The instruction are found HERE. I've also made the whole card into an Easel Card, which allows the frame to stand up quite well.

The background image is from Magnolia 'Ocean Background' and is coloured lightly with copics as is Tilda. Not sure if I'm totally happy with the colours, perhaps could be a bit brighter. I've added dimensional magic to the ocean and a little sandcastle embellishment on the sand. Added metal greeting from MM and shell charm on a little bit of rafia. Inside the the card I've used the Spellbinders Fancy Tags (which I've just received in the post) with another metal charm attached.

This is also my entry this week for Cute Card Thursday Challenge #105 - 'Dimensions'.

Thanks for looking.

Penny Black Challenge

This card was created using the Penny Black Saturday Challenge #93. The image is of course from Penny Black coloured with SU pens. Ovals cut with nestable ovals and scallop ovals. The plain purples are bazzill and the pattern paper is from DoCrafts Papermania 'Heather' paper pack. I've stitched around the edges and added pearls, tulle and flowers. Metal frame and greeting from SU.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Tilda Easel Card

This card is for a very special girl who is celebrating her birthday very soon and my entry for the
Just Magnolia Challenge #47 'Easel Card'.
I've used the 'Noble Tilda' and 'Grand Piano' stamps which I've coloured with copics, distress ink and SU pens. The images were then cut out and placed onto heart embossed background shaped with nestabilites Labels One. The layout is from Friday Sketches #93. I've used SU Baja Breeze card stock as my base card and the pattern paper is Kaisercraft Devonshire Collection. I've used the McGill fern puch and flowers from various sources.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge

My daughter has just been to another 7th birthday party today, this time for her friend Liam. I've used the sketch from The Sugar Bowl Challenge #31. 

 I've used SU Night of Navy cardstock and pattern papers from the Kaisercraft Rewind Collection. These papers are so good for boy cards. The image is Sugarnellie 'Skateboarder' , stamped onto white cardstock, coloured with copics and paper pieced with pattern paper. I have mounted this onto Cuttlebug Star pattern embossed paper and then mounted onto night of navy. Both circles cut with nestables. The stars are punched with SU & unlabelled star punches.
