Not really halloween

Not what you would expect to see on halloween but it is the person's birthday, they love a rubber duck so that was the way I went with their card lol. I couldn't decide which one I liked the most so I used all three 

 

Big Birthday Milestone

Another big birthday and most certainly a milestone one at that, I am liking the shaped but on a base style this year, so much easier to get them to stand up properly and they are still effective too.

 

Cereal sly awesome

This card did not go according to plan and even though I wasn't 100% happy with it the recipient loved it and isn't that kind of the point.

Golf Version 3

I waited a while to show the final golf card, I am not sure if they look at my blog and I don’t like to spoil the surprise. I kind of wish I had more golfers to make this for now lol.

Cheers for beer

Same as yesterdays card but with a different sentiment, both were a delight to make and I am hoping I have made more

Hooray for beer

I bought this dieset from a destash and I couldn't wait to use it, the plaster embossing folder is out again, such a versatile design for guy cards. I also found some yellow vellum in my stash that works perfectly for the beer glass.

Happy Hour

Another of the clearly besotted digital background stamps and more new images too, They make such a great clean and simple card

More Bee Caffinated

I decided I liked the first bee coffee card why not make more so that is exactly what I did. 

Bee Caffinated

This was a quick and simple card because time was up against me but I still wanted it to be handmade. I do love the clearly besotted bees, I may have bought more lol

Wine Cork

Of course I had to make a second card as I had all the stuff on my desk, I like this one but I prefer the other one, that plaster embossing folder just adds to the texture better

Wine Cork Cheers

I borrowed this stamp set from a friend and I had an idea of what I wanted to make since she first showed me the set during covid. It came out exactly as I pictured and I love it.

Swifty era

My clearly besotted collection is continuing to grow and now that they have digital background images it will only grow faster. 

Purple Converse Obsession

This card was for a fabulous young lady who is obsessed with her purple converse and I thought I have an image I can use to recreate them, its fairly simple otherwise, the dies have been on my desk for a while and I can't seem to stop using them.

First Birthday Girl

I do love Mo Mannings digital images, this one I first used in 2014 and its still works today. I was a bit obsessed with this layout at the time I made this and I must say I may start using it again, I just had an idea to stamp a background christmas icon image in two colours and match them up, I may have to play with that right now lol

Hot Wheels Adjacent

These cards were made so long ago I am struggling to remember making them let alone what I used lol. All I know is that the stamp set reminded me of matchbox/hot wheels cars and I had to use it, now of course I have had this set since it was released but lining up layered sets is not my strong suit so don't expect to see it again anytime soon lol.

Karate Chop

Now you could be forgiven for thinking all these cards are for boys who are the same age as that’s my usual style but not this time, I made them for lots of ages and I loved changing the colours to match the recipients hair and favourite colour. 

Shiny Nail Polish

It has been a while since this die set has been used, and each time I use it I want to make more, there are some sets that are timeless and this is one of those. I went with foil rather than glitter this time and even though it was a nightmare to photograph I love the shine.

 

Monkeying Around

This card came together so fast it was scary lol, it happens like that occasionally not often although I wish it would when my mojo is on a walk about lol

Kawasaki Rides again

I have said it before and I will say it again making new friends means I can revisit old favourite designs and recreate them, this was a new stamp but the design certainly wasn't lol. 

Liverpool this time

I have loved making this card for all my football loving friends and using their team colours has made it even more personal. Of course it will be a while before I get to use it again though and that makes me kind of sad
