So what have I been up to?

Hello

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.

Until next time

Cheers

A birthday card or 4!

Hello

Sorry it has been so long between posts!

Time for a challenge or two…

Hello

I have had a crafty week! I spent yesterday at the very first Altenew Workshop in Australia with the lovely Tasnim (and her family) and Therese from lostinpaper. I got to meet the lovely warm and extremely friendly Therese in person after years of talking through forums and blogs.  I also meet in person the lovely Aileen from colourandsparkle for the first time and loads of other crafty people.  I’ll share more in a later post as the sets we used have not been released yet. Yes I have decided my cards are blog worthy after all.

Anyway on with what else I have been creating.  I received some new sets last week and inked them up straight away – a rare thing indeed!

I have also made a conscience decision to make the NBUS pile on my desk extinct! The first cards are from my NBUS stash.  I do shop at times faster than I can create – I know I am not alone here!

My first card is using Concord and 9th Happy Day set which I have had for a while I teamed this with sentiments from Your next Stamp What not sentiments 4.  I made two cards using this set.  The first I coloured with watercolour pencils and added highlights with markers and the second I coloured with alcohol markers.

The first one I am entering into the challenge at Double D here and Bizzy Bec’s anything goes here.

and the second card using alcohol markers.  I fussy cut the main image and popped up with foam tabs.

My parcel was from Jane’s Doodles.  Jane had generously offered a free mini cupcake stamp set with orders on the recent International Women’s day.  Here it is coloured with alcohol markers and a sentiment from Jane’s Birthday Wishes set.

I also inked up Jane’s Doodles Magnolia and Mother’s Day sets.

and my last card for today is a request.  For sometime now I have been making cards for mum I know who gives her daughter chick themed cards.  This one is for easter and uses SU Honeycomb Happiness and ABS Easter Chickadee coloured with watercolour pencils and markers.

I commend you for getting to the end of this post! Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time

Cheers
