Happy Birthday

Thinking Of You

My mum's sister should have been celebrating a special birthday in a few days, sadly she passed away suddenly a couple of months ago.
I wanted to send her husband a card on what would have been my aunt's birthday, to let him and her children know that she's not forgotten.

My aunt's favourite colour was pink and her nickname in our family was 'Queen' so I used this Pink Paislee patterned paper with crowns on, and added some dusky pink and dark brown, so it's a nod to my aunt without being too feminine for her husband.

Thank You

Top paper is Making Memories, I've stamped the sentiment with SU 'Just Perfect' alphabet.
Pearls and background stamp (just seen on the turquoise card) are Prima.

Happy Birthday

Sentiment is a Woodware stamp

Courage

Paper is Cosmo Cricket and the stamp is by Waltzingmouse.

Birthday Wishes

Plain and simple.
The paper is SU and the sentiment is Waltzingmouse.

I have to say I love WM stamps, they don't repel ink like some clear stamps do and they give a nice crisp image.

Happy Birthday

Sentiment is by WaltzingMouse
Patterned paper was a magazine freebie
Kraft card by Papermania and I've stamped it with SU Delicate Doilies

The button is Docrafts.
They have a large bag full for £3, mostly browns and greens and creams, great value for money.
Sorting through the buttons I noticed quite a few have famous brand names on them, I wonder if Docrafts have bought a huge lot from a major button factory?
Oh well I can't afford a Chanel jacket but a button is a good start!

Rainbow

Rainbows and clouds cut with Die-namics dies.
They're a bit time consuming to do so I decided to cut each one in half to get two cards out of one rainbow.

Celebrate

Sentiment is a Waltzingmouse stamp.
Tag is Papermania, stamped with a Hero Arts stamp.
Patterned paper was a magazine freebie.

Celebrate

Bit of a grungy one.
Sentiment stamp is Waltzingmouse.
The 'splatter' stamp (can just make it out on the above photo) is Stampin' Up "French Foliage".
Patterned acetate is by Kanban.
The kraft tag is Papermania and I've distressed it and embossed with Cuttlebug Clockworks folder

Another rainbow

Similar to the last one but changed the sentiment and added some faux stitching.
Not sure how else to use the die really.
The only thing I can think is to put it through an embossing folder but the rainbow is always going to be the focal point isn't it? So maybe a bit limited, dunno...

Rainbow

I love rainbows so could not resist this Die-namics die. Sentiment printed on computer.

Gift Bag

Little bit addicted to making these now.
This one is Papermania kraft cardstock, stamped with SU 'Serene Snowflakes'.
Eyelets are also SU and ribbon is from Tesco.
Vellum sentiment is DCWV.

Cheers

Alphabet and image stamp by Stampin' Up. I've used Glossy Accents on the glass to make it shiny.

Birthday Card and Notebook

Card and notebook.

Patterned paper is DCWV. Sentiment stamp, matching punch, and cardstock all Stampin' Up.

Border punch is Martha Stewart and flowers by Prima.

Cardblank is Woodware.

Flags

Kraft card blanks by Papermania (I'm not entirely happy with the quality of these and much prefer the Woodware ones).
The flags are Hero Arts Friendly Flags clear stamps and I've pricked along the top to look like stitching.
Alphabet is Just Perfect by Stampin' Up.

Happy Birthday

Cardstock and patterned paper is by Stampin' Up as is the sentiment stamp and punch.
Acetate is Hambly Screenprints.

Biker

I'd stamped this cardblank (using HOTP swirl stamp) intending to use it for something else, that something else was the card in the previous post.
It just didn't look right but I was determind to use it straightaway and not just throw it in a drawer.
I mounted a Kanban topper on some scraps of card and rounded the edges, job done.

Christmas

Just about the same as yesterday's cards. I swapped the stamped image for Stampin' Up Dasher and kept the rest the same.

Christmas

Some similar (but very slightly different) Christmas cards.
All kraft card blanks are by Papermania and have been stamped with Stampin' Up Serene Snowflakes.
The above card has a K& Co sticker that I had kicking around for about six years(!) and I stamped the greeting.

The image on these three cards is by Inkadinkado and I added gold cord or ribbon.
