The Paper Shelter - Zoe Spring

One stamp, 3 different cards today

I love how different an image can look just using a different colour combination

The digital stamp is Zoe Spring from The Paper Shelter

 

The first card is a 6" square using Orange and copper brown shades

I have used Promarkers to colour Zoe.  The background paper is from the Dovecraft, Tea Party range.  Ribbon, flowers and gems are from my stash 

 

The second card is also 6" square in blue and pink, again coloured using Promarkers 

This time Zoe has been cut out after colouring .

Flowers, ribbon, button and pearls are from my stash

 

 

Last but not least is the blue and pink pre coloured stamp received when purchasing from

The Paper Shelter. This card is an 8" square. 

I have used an old Fiskars Tulip corner punch.

The ribbon, lace, flowers and pearls are from my stash

 

 

Kenny K - Handyman Birthday Card

Isn't it difficult finding inspiration and bits and bobs

to make Male cards (or is it just that I enjoy making girlie cards more?)

We all have special Male friends and relations we don't want to feel left out

so here is my latest effort

 

I used the Handyman digital stamp from Kenny K 

which I coloured with Promarkers 

The tape measures, spanner and vellum with springs were in an old

book of papers which had lost its cover.

The "Happy Birthday" I printed on my PC

 

The inside was decorated to match the front.

Julia 17th Birthday Card

 

My Apologies for the quality of the images.

 

This is another 8" square white pearlescent card made into an easel card

The image is Hopeful from Wee Stamps  coloured with Promarkers 

 

All the papers used are digital downloads from Pink Petticoat 

I had printed several designs in Sweet Bohemia and contrasted them to build the card.

Toned this with purple seam binding, flowers and pearls 

The lettering and badge were cut on my Silhouette Cameo Machine 

 

Princess Rose Red

These colours are beautiful together

I got my inspiration from the Saturated Canary Emerald Blog Challenge

 

 

The digital Stamp I used is Princess Rose Red from Saturated Canary 

which I have coloured with my Promarkers.

The flowers and seam binding are from Wild Orchid Crafts

The doily is from Dovecraft the background paper behind the seam binding is a digital download from Pink Petticoat

Gems, pearls and butterfly are from my stash.

 

I would like to enter this card in the

 

Saturated Canary Challenge #43 Emerald

and

Wild Orchid Challenge #76-3 or more different flowers

 

Thank you

Tina Birthday Card

This card was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone

If you hadn't already guessed I prefer to work with

Purples, blues and pinks but decided to be a bit different today.

 

 

The image is Wee Florist a digital stamp from Wee Stamps which I coloured with my Promarkers  The background paper is Trendy Sprinkles a digital download from Crafty Card Making 

The ribbon, flowers, charm and pearls are from my stash

 

 

The inner of the card is finished off in the same style

 

 

The box is from a pack I bought on ebay.

 

 

Joanne 40th Birthday Card

I really enjoyed making this card

My apologies for the quality of the images

 

I recently discovered the Pink Petticoat website,  beautiful digital background papers, sentiments and stamps.  These are fantastic value as most of the design you buy the download is for 38 different colours and in positive and negative.

Solid colours are free!

I love the fact that you don't need to have drawers full of paper and can print as you need.

As you can see I have bought several designs, printed them off in the same colour

to create this card.  The image is Suzi with Bunny from Wee Stamps which I have coloured with Promarkers

The numbers and the lettering was cut on my Silhouette Cameo 

Flowers, ribbon & charm are from my stash

 

Captain Locke - decoupage

What a beautiful Bank Holiday Weekend we had

Much too nice to be stuck in the craft room

 

This card is a bit of a mish-mash.  I have taken the 3D decoupage design

from a Crafts U Print card and layered it onto a backing I designed myself

and personalised with a Happy Birthday tag.

The backing, ribbon, lace, flowers, pearls and charm are from my stash.

The image was pre coloured.  I printed onto photo paper, cut out and layered

 

Vulcan Stepper Card

Something a little bit different today.

Male cards are so much more difficult!  But I still want to make it personal.

 

 

This is my first Stepper card,  with the folding being the hardest part.

The photographs were taken by my husband Steve on our annual visit to Waddington Air Show.

You can see more of his photographs at Valvetec Photography. 

Sister Birthday Card

Friday... the start of a Bank Holiday Weekend :)

Let's hope it stays sunny.

 

Another 8" square birthday card

The image is Suzi with bunny, a digital stamp from Wee Stamps 

Sylvia Zet creates the cutest stamps!  I have coloured the image with Promarkers 

 

 

The sister lattice frame was cut on my Silhouette Cameo Machine   

I then decorated with gold coloured gemstones.

The paper, ribbon, flowers and gold trellis are from my stash.

I used the same paper for the inside as the outside.

Pink & Blue Birthday

The sun is gorgeous outside! so a very quick share today

The image has been mounted onto mirror card

The backing paper, charms, ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

The flowers are a combination of roses, cherry blossom and

white statice which I have co-ordinated with the colours I have used to colour Zoe.
