I didn’t intend to be away from blogging for so long! I’m sure I’ve said that before!!
Today I’m poping in to share some cards. I recently did a huge restock of my card stash. Here are just a few I have shared on insta/facebook.
Wedding Cards – sentiments from PTI and 3 tier wedding cake coloured with alchohol markers from Concord&9th.
More wedding cards again the sentiment is from PTI and the “Mr&Mrs” diecut is from kaisercraft.
I got on a bit of a roll with the onesies! Stamped onto pattern paper and die cut. Stamps from PTI and SU – I inked up some older sets here. I found the PTI set so much easier to use with a repositioning tool and made making multiples a breeze once I had selected the pattern paper.
More PTI inked up and again easier to use with a repositioning tool. Sentiment from YNS.
Some requested First Communion & Confirmation cards.
That’s all for now. Although I have more to share another day!
If you are in my part of the world you know we are heading form some wet and cold weather so stay warm and dry.
After the cute mice in my last post I am now sharing something a little different!
I randomly stamped the game controls from PTI ages ago until recently I didn’t have the “right” sentiment to finish the card off. I know hard to believe I didn’t have the right sentiment! I used SU Biggest Wish.
Just popping in to share a few recent requested card makes for a friend.
An Elsa inspired card I totally CASEd from here. Thanks Lyssa. I did make one modification I used Uniquely creative stitched dies to get the curves of the dress. Those dies aren’t just for landscapes!
I also made my own shimmer spray mixing Isopropyl alcohol and shimmer paint in a spray bottle.
The next couple of cards seem to be frequent repeats!
I did consider not sharing even though they are new makes they are layouts I have used many times before! Funny I don’t really like mass producing – made 10 of one card as an invitation once and that was a struggle! However going back to making a card that seemed to work doesn’t seem to be an issue! Especially if it is for a friend and I can show them a pic before I start.
Do you ever go back and make a card again?
Sadly we were in need of a sympathy card this week.
Once again I have gone for simple white die cuts with liquid pearl centres and a simple sentiment from Avery Elle – stamp and die cut.
I have an outrageously large pile of NBUS to play with before more new play things arrive 🙂 My dilema what to play with first!
In the meantime I plan to do a little reading – Bridgerton the Duke and I – while I continue knitting a Weir for myself.
Popping in today to share a couple of cards made with Papersmooches Botanicals 1 & 2
Pretty sure I saw colourful silhouettes over on Therese’s blog Lostinpaper some time back. Thanks for the inspiration Therese – I would normally stamp silhouettes in black.
I paired the Papersmooches stamps with Papertrey Ink Penned Elegance – love the font. I stamped these with Altenew inks Northern Lights collection.
I have found myself with a little extra crafty time this week. That meant I could a) watch a youtube video or 2 b) actually follow through with one of those newly acquired crafty “must try” techniques that I plan to do however rarely complete!
Today I am back to share some more recent card makes. And I have used loads of NBUS stuff!
I’ll start with this new stencil from Stamplorations. I added punched flowers to her hair and finished with liquid pearls. I remember seeing one of the DT add flowers and loved the result so I’ve CASed it. I used my new SU brushes to – these are huge brushes compared to the ones I have been using!
This next one is a wee 3″x3″ card using Jane’s Doodles Wild. Coloured with alcohol markers. I can see this hippo becoming a fav! Oh and more sponging.
A couple of “Cute Fruit” cards. I used my SU Stamparatus which makes making more than one quick and easy! Again the smaller card is 3″ x 3″.
For these next two cards I have used Stamplorations Bloomfully Sparkle with PTI Tag it #3 followed by Stamplorations Bloombully Thankful with PTI Tag it #12. Both are again 3″ x 3″ coloured with alcohol markers.
And lastly another card using Jane’s Doodles to the moon. The small stars are from WPlus 9 Unforgetable and the tied string is from Uniko Garlands Galore. I CASed this card too from one I saw on pinterest.
First time I have used the set “Dogs” from Jane’s Doodles. I am linking this card up to the current challenge at NBUS.
I used an old PTI stamp set and SU punch for this card.
More PTI!
I used an unnamed bird stamp (it’s so old I have no idea where I got it from!) I created the Heart by making a mask from a die cut, stampinig within the mask then I added some talking lines. To finish I added the sentiment from YNS.
The last one for today uses stamps,dies & punches from SU. I created my own pattern paper by randomly stamping words and images.
I have a few other cards to share too so will be back soon!
Until then stay safe and well in your little part of the world.
I thought my crafty mojo had taken a long walk until I started this post and gathered the photos I’ve shared on social media in the last few weeks! Perhaps it has made a return. What do you think?
