Cheers Big Birthdays Number 2

The second one is a different big birthday number but I went the same design, you will find it hard to believe but once I started making these I really couldn't stop lol. In the end I made all the big birthday ladies until the end of the year in one sitting. Now I just need to make the guy ones and I can concentrate on something else lol.

Rongrong Number 3

Rongrong Number 2

The second card in this series and I used a background experiment on this one, I wasn't sure if I liked it but once it was assembled it looks lovely and really shiny too,

Not much else to say except I wish these stamps didn't have so much solid area lol.

Ingredients

Rongrong Number 1

I made a quick set of cards way back in January and I am just showing them now....bad Amanda. I used a range of stamps I bought last June in Joann called "rongrong" they are supposed to be for planners but most of the images work lovely on cards.

This is the first and probably my favourite of the bunch. All have a similar colour scheme and after a while that will become obvious lol.

Cheers Big Birthdays Number 1

So I have lots of this style card to show you and I am sure you will be sick of them before I stop lol. This was the first and inspiration for them all. I won't be showing them all in one go as I want to wait until after each birthday so even if they guess the style they won't guess the colour scheme lol.

In Control (for the day)

Truthfully this should be my mantra at the moment as the anxiety levels I am feeling are extremely high. I am just trying to take each day at a time and breathe through it. Sending virtual hugs to all that need them right now ((()))

So the card, its a recreation of one I made a few years ago, in fact the image was coloured back then and stored in the stamp pockets so this card was super quick and it needed to be too as it went straight in the post.

Even before the current situation arose I was struggling with mojo and was only making cards as I needed them, no playing or ideas were surfacing so I went back to a tried and tested design and it helped.

Magical Unicorn Number 2

I tried a rainbow mane on this unicorn and I have to say I don't like it lol. To be honest with the clothes and stencilled background there are enough rainbows....not sure that is something I ever thought I would say lol.

I am pleased however with the hair colour on this one, I tried a kind of new combo and I like the introduction of the W9, it really deepens the shadows. I need to thank Amy from a thousand sheets of paper blog for the combo, it’s one I think I will use often.

Ingredients
Image: "unicorn lucy" from CC designs
Sentiment: "magical unicorn" from Crafters Companion

Thank you

Given the current climate you could be forgiven for thinking i made this recently but I didn't. I made this in January for my MIL to give the nurses who very kindly looked after her following an operation. I do however think it is a good idea to have a few made to say thank you to our wonderful NHS. 

Not much to say about the card,  I used the smaller stamps to create the background and then coloured the image to match the scrubs of the hospital. 

Ingredients

Card: "grout grey" from MFT and blueberry sky from Papertrey Ink
Dies: A2 stitched rectangle stax from MFT and spellbinders alphabet

Mixed Tape

Sometimes an idea pops in your head and you spend ages trying to find the correct stamp or die to recreate it.....this isn't this card though lol....this card is the result of looking for the said stamp set and seeing this one and going...ooohhhh that would work lol.
