Jane’s Doodles – Birthday Wishes
Are Dragons animals?
Requests …
Hello
I had some card requests recently. Here are a few of my creations.
First up is Annabelle stamps little monster. Coloured with alcohol markers, fussy cut & popped up on card front.
Next I have a couple of cards made using Flourishes Kids at Play with sentiments from Uniquely and Jane’s Doodles.
I also have some Christmas cards to share. These were inspired by Therese at Lostinpaper here. These were quick to put together without colouring the elf image.
Thanks for stopping by
Cheers

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

A little creative catch up…
Hello
When I posted yesterday I realised I had a few other creations I hadn’t shared. So here they are.
A recent 21st card for a Tigers fan
I used My Cute Stamps circus animals and SSS stitched circles dies along with SU Large numbers.
A planter box for a another significant birthday – this time for one of my walking/book club friends who happens to love gardening.
I used Bronwyn Eastley’s pattern here along with various SU stamps and dies.
A Unicorn card – a special request.
This time I used Jane’s Doodles and SU Beautiful Bouquet stamps & dies.
A little error here the kiddos also requested a unicorn card for this girl last year for her birthday and you guessed correct I used Jane’s Doodles Unicorn stamp set for the same girl’s card last year. (Insert embarassed face). When I looked back at last years card it only had one unicorn so hopefully significantly different. Needless to say next year I’ll either have to invest in a new unicorn stamp set or make another style of card.
Lastly an update on my Bernate Hi Lo Jumper.
Almost finished the front!
I have another request from the family and a pile of mending so I will get on with that in the coming days.
Until next time
Cheers

Another birthday…
Hello
This was a fairly quick make. Strips of silver foil paper and a punched bow. Embossed sentiment from Jane’s Doodles Birthday Wishes. I popped the front panel up with foam tape.
Thanks for stopping.

Birthday time…
Hello
Today I am sharing a card I made for Miss S’s 18th Birthday.
I am linking up to the current challenge at Seize the Birthday here- no toppings for me
I used Jane’s Doodles Unicorn and Birthday wishes stamp sets coloured with alcohol markers. I punched out the glittery shapes from a 3/4″ circle punch. I was inspired by this card from Bronwyn here
I added a little wink of stella to the clouds and the unicorn horns.
It was Ms S’s 18th birthday yesterday. I made this card about 11.30 pm the night before – nothing like leaving it to the last minute!
No big party most of Ms S’s friends are still on schoolies. We celebrated by doing brekky at a local cafe with Ms A (turns 13 today) and Ms S’s boyfriend. The 3 eldest kiddos went to a local night club with friends after a few drinks at home. I think I did 3 car trips to and from the nightclub. Tomorrow we are having a pizza lunch with about 10 of her friends. Between brekky and drinks yesterday I managed to attend a Christmas party for a charity group I belong to – Days for Girls you can find out more here. Due to the extreme weather predicted in Victoria over the weekend the planned weekend away in the country was downgraded to a house party in Melbourne. This worked ok for me cause I could squeeze in a few hours, I couldn’t have made the whole weekend.
We have Ms E’s 22nd birthday later in the week and a party planned for Ms A’s 13th as well. I’ll share their cards later.
Thanks for stopping

Mehndi…
Hello
Popping in to share another card
This one I am linking up to the current challenge at Seize the Birthday here
I was lucky enough to win the Mehndi stamp set from Uniko. It arrived the other day and I had to play! Coloured with SU markers. Sentiment is from Jane’s Doodles Birthday wishes.
Until next time
Cheers

Rainbows and Unicorns…
Hello
Today I am sharing a card using Jane’s Doodles Unicorn and Birthday Wishes stamp sets.
I am linking up to the current challenge at Seize the Birthday here no toppings for me this time
For my regular readers this will not surprise it was a specific request by Mr M for a friend. Mr M and his friends have regular games days/nights where they play board games for about 12-14 hours. And before you ask they do play board games because we regularly have the event out our place. Any way one of the girls is having a birthday and this is the resulting card. The boys all chipped in and bought an add on pack for one of her board games – cause they get to use it too! Not so silly. It did remind me of the kind of gifts partners buy each other like a kitchen appliance or garden equipment! Everyone gets something out of those types of gifts.
Enough of my waffle. I created the cloud base using embossing paste and a cloud stencil. I stamped and coloured my images with alcohol markers and popped them up on my card front. I used my alcohol markers to colour a small section of cardstock and punched out the little hearts, adding them to the card front and adding a wink of stella.
Thanks for stopping
Cheers

Soccer and a finished knit…
Hello
Popping in to share a quick and easy card as requested by Mr M (19).
I am also linking up to the current challenge at Seize the Birthday here
A pretty quick make. I die cut a white circle and ran through my honeycomb embossing folder. I also ran a small piece of black cardstock through and fussy cut a few pieces to add back to make my soccer ball. Popped up with foam tape on my card front and finished with a sentiment from Jane’s Doodles Birthday wishes.
Also sharing a finished knitting project
Nothing like Mum asking you to model when you are on your way out the door to go to work teaching kids to swim.
I used BWM Aurora Stirling
You can find the pattern here
Until next time
Cheers
Vicki
