Shoe Swoosh

I love a good shoe stamp and this one from Chloe's creations is perfect, I am not sure what made me paper piece it but I am so glad I did. This paper is from a pad from Home Bargains not a store I normally associate with craft supplies and the gold card is from poundland so we are really changing it up on this card

Seeing all the re released cards made with the mft swoosh made me want to get mine out again, and yes this is a perfect rainbow style card, look out for that soon lol

Different 1st birthday boys

So this should have been published last year and I only realised it hadn’t when I went looking on my blog for this image. As my blog is my visual reference point I thought I will publish the cards so I can find them again lol.

Both of these boys have older brothers and I used the usual first birthday image for their cards so I went with a different one but still by Mo, she has so many to choose from and this one is only $1. Such an absolute bargain.



Ingredients

Image: Baby with Wagon from Digital Pencil

Dies: Blueprints 1 and 13. square stax and notched border die all MFT, scalloped square from Craftstash brand

Card: real red from Stamping Up

Paper: Toy Box from Nit Wit

1st birthday boys version 1

Another tried and tested design, I had meant to pop the names on each one but I think I was so busy congratulating myself on being ahead of the game I forgot lol, oh well there is always next year.

I created a few of this design but changed the hair colour to reflect the little ones, expect to see the other versions soon.

1st birthday girls

I can’t believe I am about to start making next years 1st birthday cards and I haven’t shown this years yet.

Lockdown seemed to have a huge effect on the number of babies born and this year eclipsed 2013 (the year the big six arrived) and between family and friends we welcomed 7 new little ones to love on. I think I might refer to them collectively as the magnificent seven. Of course now I have Yul Bryner stuck in my head lol.

So of course I went with a tried and tested design and I am already thinking about next years card design lol.

Whiskey Business

Stampin Up so know how to make images that evoke an emotion/feeling and this one makes me want to taste the whiskey lol.

I have made this card a few times as it was done in a call and when I showed my friends one of them said it was perfect for her hubbie so of course I made him one too lol

Congrats Grad - Tassel is worth the hassle

My cousin recently graduated university with a 2.1 in Physics and I wanted to let him know I was proud of him so what better way than with a card.

As he is a no fuss kind of guy I went super simple and its definitely one I will recreate in the future

New Home Cricut Version

So i have been making a lot of things with my cricut and I designed and made this card from scratch and I am pleased with it, its very clean and simple which gives you nowhere to hide any mistakes lol.

I used a house image and the rockwell font which seems to be my goto font this year.
