Mini Makeup

I can fially show these cards as I had to wait until the last birthday passed. I loved using all the images in the set, I should do that more often as it saves so much time too.

Rainbow Wishes

All of this card was made using stuff I found whilst cleaning my room, I made the background back in 2021, coloured the girl in about 2022 and stamped the sentiment last year lol. It was meant to be though because it all works perfectly together.

That stencil the sequel

Not another one I hear you say, but it is the last for a while. I might break out the MFT shark etc and make more though lol.

That stencil again

Another outing for this water stencil from altenew, do you ever start a project and then can’t stop and you are looking for images to make more, this stencil did that to me, I might have made quite a few and only stopped because I didn’t know who they were for lol

I like you axolotl

A different style for me but I will say I like the effect, I used a new to me stencil from altenew and it looks like water. It’s another of the creative fabrica images and I am so happy with how it turned out.

Aged to Perfection

I bought this set from a craftstash sale and I can honestly say I will miss that store a lot, it was so easy to buy a magazine and throw a few dies/stamps in the basket.

Monochrome Blender Brushes

If you have seen my previous posts with this design you will have noticed the evolution of the design. This time I went for shades of the same colour and I had to make a purple version for my friend Kathy, There may be more to come as I am obsessed lol.

Blender Brushes

After making the rainbow version I had a brain wave, why not make them portrait and smaller cross sections of the rainbow, I had so much fun making these and I really want to make lots more.

Coffee Mouse

Not the direction I was originally going with this card but I do like how it turned out, I bought a specific stamp set just for this sentiment so I had to use it. The stamp was going to be a cat but I realised I’ve made a lot and I mean a lot of cat cards for this very good friend so I thought let’s try something the cat catches instead lol.

Jingle all the way

This card was made the same time as yesterday’s so you will be able to see the theme lol. I think maybe three reindeer was excessive but I couldn’t help myself lol. Please let me know why I fussy cut these deer as I had the matching dies!

Merry little Christmas

A completely different card than I was going for but I like it and it’s simple too. Sometimes over complicating things doesn’t make it better. 

Crafty Friends

I know this seems an odd December 1st post but I wanted to wait until all of the cards had been received before posting to my blog. I had so much fun making these cards and even discovered I could make my own enamel dots with a circle background die and ink to paper oxides, if I add glossy accents then they become shiny enamel dots but I like the matte look myself.

I am hoping to be back everyday in december with my christmas card makes but as I am writing this post in May that might change lol.

Squish Hugs

I saw a similar design on the MFt blog so I thought why not replicate it but make it the same but different. My first attempt didn't go well as I coloured the plush animals as though they were real and that made the whole thing a bit dark and not at all what I was going for so I stamped them again and had another go, it was more difficult than I care to admit to make them pink and blue lol.

I can definitely see me using this design again maybe even with the other animals in the set too.

Eclipse stencil who knew!!!

I thought I had lost this card when my camera stopped working, but then I found them all and inadvertently deleted this…. sometimes I wonder what I’m thinking lol.

I love a good eclipse and never thought to do it on a stencilled background before but I really like it. I bought the sloth image in May last year at a craft fair and knew who I wanted to use it for too.

I might have to make more of this design, when it’s freshly made I remember the trials and tribulations of getting my vision to translate to the card in front of me, six months out though it all seems easy lol.

Black Widow

Another of the quick girlie cards and it’s making me want to colour all the CC Designs characters and make a lot of them so they are ready to go….I nearly fell off my chair at that one…who do I think I am lol

Mmmm chocolate

If you have followed my blog for any time you will know I have many, many obsessions but the longest lasting one is chocolate. I can’t pass up a stamp with chocolate on it so it won’t surprise you that I wanted this set lol.

I looks almost good enough to eat, but I know Tim Holtz says don’t lick the art work but I wish I had chocolate smelling embossing powder…I do think that would drive me insane but if someone wants to make some I know a buyer lol.

Inspired Design Final one?

At the time of writing this blog entry this was the final one but of course who knows how many more have been made since lol.

It’s such an effective design that I want to make lots and lots of…oh no another obsession lol

Inspired Design version 2

I really love this design and want to break out all my clearly besotted sets and make more. Simple clean designs are so effective.

I may have used all the different critters and made another one lol.

Wednesday?

I have a crafty friend who is obsessed with this character so when I saw her in digi form on the Greeting farm I had to buy her. Lately I have been using stuff as soon as I buy it and this was no exception. I wanted a stained glass window background and this mandala stencil fitted the bill perfectly.

Snappy Birthday

Quite a few years ago Heffy Doodle did a Kickstarter campaign and I backed them, this character was from the stamp set I received as a thank you and I coloured him straight away but it took years for him to make it onto a card. I was cleaning my craftroom and I came across this already completed background and I thought I have the perfect image for that and bish bash bosh another one is done. Plus two things are out of the stuffed to the gills room lol.
