From the Heart - Digital Stamps - Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Hi! You may not see much in the next two weeks, as I've just started my first prac for my teaching degree (yay!) I did craft last night, and Saturday night though...

 

I started by printing a newly acquired digital stamp, from From the Heart Stamps, and colouring it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then trimmed it out, and set it aside. The patterned papers on this card are a bit of a mix, with Authentique, Kaisercraft and Echo Park. I trimmed them down, mounted them on white card, and of course doodled some borders around them. I added two eyelets to the Echo Park paper, and a trio of buttons, the largest of which has a twine bow. 

Here is the close up

Bugaboo Stamps - Happy Birthday Grumpy!

Tomorrow is my awesome dads birthday! I had to make him a card, and as always, struggled to find something appropriate... he's just as difficult to buy for! 

I finally settled on a Bugaboo Digital Stamp, due to a suggestion from the ever awesome Miss Annmaree! 

So, I got the Gus image, that has "Happy Birthday Old Fart" on it, and it came with a version that you could add your own sentiment to.... Before printing my image, I went into my picture editor, and added my own sentiment - "Happy Birthday, Grumpy" 

Here is the card - 

I coloured up Gus, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and popped it on to dimensional adhesive on to a slightly bigger white piece of card stock. I used patterned papers from Sn@p 24/Seven 6x6 paper pad, and added some eyelets and grey coloured rhinestones. I kept this card pretty basic, as I wanted the image to really stand out!

Kraftin' Kimmie - Just for You card

Hi guys! I've had this card made up for a few days now, I've just been terribly busy! It's my first week back at work, and I've got a tonne of uni stuff due too.... So, I've not managed to get on to the computer to do much but assignments...

This card was made for the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge, although, I've missed the deadline... I used the patterned paper pad, Bubblegum Hills from Kaisercraft which is ridiculously cheap at The Stamp Spot!, I coloured up this girl using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and fussy cut her out, removing her birdy in the process.... It makes her look like she's blowing kisses! I mounted every thing on Vanilla card stock, and added some twine, and a crochet flower. There are eyelets on the right hand side, and lots of bling on the border...  

Here's the close up -

This fits the tic tac toe challenge from Kraftin' Kimmie, but I'm too late... I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes and the Deconstructed Sketch #98

Kraftin' Kimmie - Goldilocks

Hello! It's my turn to share on The Stamp Spot Blog today and I have a card to share today, quite a simple one, but has all three of this months spots included -

I used a stamp from one of the most recent ranges added to the store - Kraftin' Kimmie. I have to tell you, I've been hanging out to see this range entered into the store catalogue... I love the slightly kooky look this company specializes in.... I have used a stamp that Michelle hasn't added to the store, but if you ask nicely, I'm sure she'd be happy to get it in for you... Although, looking through the range, Charlotte is quite similar....
Here is my card -

This is Goldilocks.... She is so much fun to colour (with my Spectrum Noirs, but I'm sure you could get the same look using Copics or any other medium) I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card and coloured her up. I used patterned papers from a 6x6 paper pad by KaiserCraft. I stitched around the edge and then attached them together (I always stitch layers separate, otherwise, it can buckle or skew) then I added my sentiment, made from various alphabets and stickers. I added an eyelet near the Beautiful and threaded through some Maraschino Twine (from the Twinery) and tied a bow. Here's a close up for you - 

The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Dressy - Feeling Sketchy

Hi again! Back to share my Feeling Sketchy DT post with you this morning! I had a bit of fun with this sketch

Here is my interpretation, flipped and rotated...

I started by paper piecing, and colouring this tall Anya, she is from The Greeting Farm, Miss Anya Dressy set, and I thought her outfit would look great with some Argyle print and make it into a school uniform. The patterned papers are from My Minds Eye. for the sentiment box, I decided to try to make it look like a notebook, held together with twine, the two strips on the side, I used Printed Twill Ribbon, which is in the August Ribbon Club Kit. 

I also took inspiration from the Retro Fresh colour challenge, Orange, Yellow and Light Blue, this stamp came out in 2009! I love it though, and will continue to use it!
