Lawn Fawn Dinosaur birthday card

Hi guys!

I’m back again with another card to share. 

This one is a masculine birthday card, featuring some lawn fawn and some odd girl stamps. 

For this card, I stamped my dinosaurs (Lawn Fawn) and used a combination of green copic markers polka dotted to create texture. I then fussy cut them out and popped them aside. The card base is grey, layered with patterned papers from Kaisercraft. The party hats are from a Some Odd Girl Stamp set, coloured again with my copics. 

Here is a close up of the embellishments and the texture on my dinosaurs. 

I am entering this card in to the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge - Party Time and the My Favorite Things,

colour combination challenge. And crafters castle anything goes

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m back!! My favorite things- unicorn dreams

Hi guys!

I know it’s been almost 4 years since I blogged. I haven’t been creating a whole lot while I’ve been gone, but I have done some pretty cool stuff! 

In April 2016, right after I stopped blogging, I got married!! 

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind since then! I did some markers locally with my cards, I’ve still got my Etsy store and my Facebook page (Jessidee Handmade if you want to find it) and I’ve changed jobs a couple of times. 

One of the BIGGEST changes happened in October 2018, when my husband and I became parents to a beautiful baby girl. You’ll just have to believe me she’s a stunner because we have made a decision not to share her face on social media or online. I do have a few cute pictures I CAN share with you though!! 

I’ll try to upload one every now and then, so you’re not overwhelmed with baby spam! Her name is Amelia (Amy for short) and she is a sassy little queen who makes everyone around her happy. 

Ok, now on to the card I have to share with you, now I’ve got you all caught up! 

I have a friends little one turning 3 next month, and thought now I’ve got a tidy craft area again, it’s time to create. 

This card is made using My Favorite Things - Unicorn Dream stamps, copics and patterned paper from Echo Park. I’ve used sequins, some cloud stickers and a die cut glitter 3 as embellishments. 

I have used inspiration from MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge

And colour/moodboard inspiration from Create A Smile Blog

I’m so glad to be back in the craft room, and hope to get my blogging back up to date a little more! I hope to see you all soon!

MFT Stamps - Happy Birthday Card

Hello again 

I've got another card to share today. 

I used a cute My Favourite Things Tutu image, coloured up with my copic markers. I used patterned papers from Echo Park and Amy Tangerine, and layered them up with a doily, some ribbon and a trio of flowers, and button. I love this adorable little tutu image, and I'm surprised it's taken me so long to colour her up. 

Here's the close up

Some Odd Girl - Octopus Birthday Card for Dad!

HEY HEY!

I've been crafting again, and just haven't gotten around to photographing/blogging/uploading them yet... I have a card going into my stores (Madeit, and Etsy) tonight, so keep an eye out!

Anyway, on to the card for my dad

I started with the Octopus stamp, which came in my last Some Odd Girl Order, (he jumped into my cart, before I had a chance to say "Stop, don't, come back"), I coloured him up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then set him aside, I grabbed some patterned papers (from American Crafts), and doodled around the outside. I added a strip of ribbon and a sentiment. The anchor is from the stamp set, I've embossed it in silver.

From the Heart Stamps - Doggy Birthday

Hey Hey! Just a quick almost midnight post, as I gave myself a break from the uni lectures I've been catching up on, and crafted... 

If you've ever wondered what my desk looks like, while crafting, this is it 

Anyway, onto my card - 

I used the digital stamp from From the Heart Stamps, coloured up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and patterned papers from Teresa Collins and Simple Stories. I doodled around the edges, and die-cut the main image, leaving the balloons free to "float"and also die cut a circle. I then added some buttons, twine and a sentiment, which is from Simon Says Stamp...

Kraftin' Kimmie & Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday card!

Evening!

Just a super quick post tonight, to share a card I made recently! 

For this card, I grabbed a mix of patterned papers, Cosmo Cricket and Echo Park (I think) and coloured my mermaid (Kraftin' Kimmie) up to match. I fussy cut her out, and placed her on a piece of white card stock, that I'd stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp on to. I added a bow, some paper and resin flowers and some rhinestones.

The Greeting Farm & Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Cards

Hi guys! I've been popping things in, and changing things up, in both my madeit and etsy stores, so pop over for a look!

Last night, I was up late, creating a couple of birthday cards... One just for fun, the other because a friend is celebrating their 29th birthday today, and I procrastinated creating ;)

Here is the first one - 

I had to play with my all new patterned papers, from Kaisercraft (OMG, this is an amazing collection!) I grabbed the woodgrain paper, and the giant flower one, and the other paper is Carte Bella. I layered them up, and then decided on the stamp I wanted to use, which is from The Greeting Farm and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I popped her into one of the polaroid frames, from Kaisercraft, and stamped the sentiments, which are a mix of Some Odd Girl and My Favourite Things. I added a bunch of paper and resin flowers. Here is the close up

Now, on to the second birthday card, it's a lot different ;)

I printed out the digital stamp, from Bugaboo Stamps, and coloured it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, mounted it on some blue paper from Echo Park, which I'd printed the sentiment straight onto. 

I added a few rhinestones, and some doodling, and called this card done!

Dad's Birthday Card!

Hiya! I'm slowly getting back into crafting! I've had a chance to play, after working on all my uni readings today! But, this card, I created yesterday...

For this one, I started by stamping, and colouring up the dad image from New Parents (The Greeting Farm), and then setting him aside. I chose patterned papers from Echo Park and Teresa Collins, and layered them up with black card stock. I then stamped the sentiment, which is a mix of two My Favourite Things sets. I added four black rhinestones, as well as a metal cog, to match the paper and called this card done!

The Greeting Farm - Teen Birthday Card

Hey there! I've had another couple of busy work days, so it's been nice to be able to craft. The card I have to share today, is one I created Sunday night, instead of sleeping, for my 4am start at work... 

This was one of those cards, that in my head was SO different to what came out onto the card base! I had originally started colouring a completely different image, then stumbled across this one in my stash... (it's pretty bad, when you forget stamps, that you own!) 

Anyway, I coloured her up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. The patterned paper is from Teresa Collins, and I've paired it with some purple and white card stocks, as well as some card, from packaging from a pack of Amy Tan Stickers. Originally, this was going to play a much bigger role in the card, but I just couldn't make it work, it looked too busy, so it came in as a sentiment banner. 

I used a mix of sentiments, the Happy Birthday is from My Favourite Things, the You Rock from Technique Tuesday. I die cut a star, from Real Red card stock, using MFT Die-namics and added some rhinestones and buttons to finish off the card.

Some Odd Girl - Birthday Card "You deserve the ROYAL Treatment"

Hi guys! Sorry for the delays in posting. I got crafty the other night, did something I rarely do, and since then, this card has been on my desk.... 

So, for this card, my first stop was the layer with misting. I got some sequin scrap, and sprayed bronze perfect pearls through it, giving it the bubble look. I set it aside to dry, and coloured up "Royal" from Some Odd Girl, with my spectrum Noir Markers. I then layered up some paper from Teresa Collins (this is the boys range!) and doodled around the edges, I added the perfect pearls piece, which I stamped with the sentiment, and added it. Royal has been attached with dimensional adhesive, and I added a trio of rhinestones.

Here's the close up

I've also finally got my markers into a home, that they have been needing! I had them in a box, and their original packaging, yet the box was falling apart and the original packaging was looking wrong... So, I ducked in to Typo yesterday, and grabbed some of their Milk Crates. I was originally only going to get one, as they are usually about $25, but they were on sale for $10 each, so I grabbed the matching pair they had! Look how great they look, filled with my markers!

Mermaids and Butterflys with The Greeting Farm - Birthday Card

Hi guys! I made this card the other night, when I couldn't sleep (boo!) 

I have added it to my stores, both Madeit and Etsy, so feel free to pop over and take a gander!

I grabbed some left over papers, that were sitting on my desk (because I hate tidying up straight after making a card!) If you scroll down, you can see the two cards the grey and purple papers came from! (Kaisercraft, Sn@p and Teresa Collins papers) I then grabbed the Mermaid Anya stamp and coloured her up, using my Spectrum Noirs, I built up the card, attached Anya using dimensionals and used a sentiment from My Favourite Things. I decided this card needed some more girly touches, so added some paper daisies, from D-Lish, as well as a resin rose and some bling.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Classy Lady Birthday

Hi ya! I've had a lot of cards disappear from my shop the last week, as I had a big wholesale order come in, so I'm getting back into the groove, and making more! While they may not always show up here, I do try to keep my facebook page, and pinterest board fresh with all my stock :)

Anyway, onto my card for today!

I actually started this card, from the base up, I trimmed patterned paper from Echo Park and Webster's Pages and layered it on to black card stock, doodled around the edges and wrapped some pretty gold satin ribbon around, before tying a really big bow. I then dug through my stamps, and grabbed this Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, inked her up and then coloured her using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I fussy cut her out, attached her to the card base, using dimensional adhesive and then focused on my embellishments. I grabbed a wooden flourish, coloured it black, using my Spectrum Noir Marker, then embossed a "Happy Birthday" sentiment on it in gold. The embellishments are two gold sequins, and a diamanté button.

Annabelle Stamps - Monster Birthday

Hi guys! Still puttering along, with all my cards, the store is looking nice and full, and don't forget, that for this week only, you can get 20% off your order, with the coupon code BlogLove 

Now, on to a card -

I started off by going through ALL my stamps and sorting them out, I need to do this more frequently, I think, as I always seem to use the same kind of stamps, with every card! I had forgotten all about this little monster, from Annabelle Stamps! I inked the little guy up, and coloured him using my spectrum noir markers. Once I was happy with him, I fussy cut him out, and set him aside. I went with a very simple design for this card, I used patterned paper from Echo Park, and stamped the sentiment in the opposite corner to the monster. I finished off the card with my typical doodling, and a trio of rhinestones...

This card was made for a wonderful crafty friend, who celebrated her birthday last weekend!

 
I started out grabbing the off cuts from my scrapbook page (paper is from Webster's Pages) that I shared last week, then colouring up the 80's Anya image, from The Greeting Farm, using my Spectrum Noirs. I then cut her out, and built the card, the base is Kraft, layered with Vanilla and then the patterned papers. I added a bow, using Seam Binding Ribbon (from SU!) and stamped the sentiment (also SU!) and popped Anya using dimensionals. I added a trio of bling in the corner, and stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside.
