This is the boy version of the magnificent sevens cards this year, I only discovered this digital stamp company in December 2024 but I can already see me using them often, I love the expressive faces on the characters.
I was struggling for a layout when I remembered how much I liked this one from kendra card challenge 10, so I reused it and because it naturally makes three panels I might have another two ready to go for another image lol.
A very different big birthday card this time, I’ve used the eclipse and shaped version for this family previously so I knew I needed something different and I saw this design out on Instagram and thought it worked perfectly, I wish I had saved who made it though so I could give credit where it’s due.
This is definitely one I will use again and just changing the colour will make it look so different
Quick and simple card but sometimes the image does all the work and can I just say these rectangle dies are fabulous, I love the deckle edge and I might have been a bit obsessed lol.
I might have already made an almost identical card to this but I knew this person would love it and they did lol. Sometimes I revisit ok often I revisit cards I’ve already made and it helps to kickstart my mojo, I find the lead up to christmas means time is more precious so designing a layout etc is not on the agenda but colouring and making are.
Another card made last year in fact this one is August, my friends daughter had a very big week, she passed her driving test, passed her A levels, got into her first choice University and turned 18, like I said quite a week and resulted in me making quite a few different cards so this one got missed lol.
A change from my usual style big birthday but this card was needed in a hurry, I had no idea my cousins husband was turning 30 until she mentioned it two days before the big day so I wanted to get this card in the post and I had about 30 minutes. so I went with a quick but effective card
I had to have this set from clearly besotted and it’s taken ages to actually use it but I’m so happy I have. Thank goodness I have recently filled my copics cos it would have been a nightmare otherwise lol.
Again I went with a straight look and again it was harder than the angle I normally use so I think it’s angles from now on lol.
I do like the simplicity of this design though and the image does definitely take centre stage.
It’s been so long since I used this stamp set, I had forgotten how cool it is. Maybe next year I will use it for the big six as I know make up is what all the preteens want, that and skin care stuff.
This one however is for a lash tech so the sentiment is perfect.
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned that I found last years cards on my camera but this is one of them. I bought a fab stamp set from altenew and followed the colours in the packaging, a simple card but it was well received.
I bought this set at the scrapbook expo in Orlando, there were so many to choose from but this set caught my eye and had to come home with me. Unusual for me but I used it almost immediately and made two cards, the other one will be on here in a few days.
I wanted to create the background but drawing isn’t my thing but a wavy line I can do. I drew the line on masking paper and cut along it, I inked and moved the masks to create the road and grass areas. It was easier than I expected lol.
My cousin is visiting from Australia (by the time this publishes he will already be back there ☹️). He had a biggish birthday when he arrived and never having made him a card before I thought I should, I went with this image because he is obviously Welsh and he is also a comedian. The added green background makes it look more like the welsh flag and that was intentional.
He was shocked that I hand coloured the image as it looked printed to him, I do think that is high praise from a non-crafter.
This is a fairly simple design and one I’ve used before and probably one I will use again too lol. I let the image do all the talking and again I’ve used the Hobby Lobby paper pack. Is anyone else like me, I got the paper pack out for one sheet, left it on my desk and now I’ve used a ton of them up.
I recently bought this set from a friend and I was amazed that I had the exact colours needed to be able to recreate it the same as on the packaging. I also followed the design that was printed on the packaging. Not sure where I got the greeting set as I haven’t labelled it doh!!!
Do you ever start colouring something and suddenly realise you’ve completely changed the colour you were going to use into something else, this van was going to be orange but it’s definitely blue lol. I was chatting and colouring and then I realised what I had done it was too late.
The hobby lobby paperpack is getting a lot of use lately and I’m pleased as I’ve had it about 5 years and only used a few pieces.
I made two almost identical cards last year and decided if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and went with the same design again. I did try and colour the dogs like theirs though
My cousin’s daughter is a huge horse fan and as soon as I saw this image I knew it was perfect. It did mean that I deviated from the design I was planning for the big 6 but sometimes that will happen.
My friend is a cat lover so I try and find images that she will like, she lost her beloved grey cat last year and even though he is no longer with us I included him sleeping on her card. The other cats are her kitten and her daughters kitten.
Of course when I showed the matching one of these the other day you didn't think she was a one off did you....don't be daft lol. If I have a few littles turning the same age and they don't know/see each other then why reinvent the wheel lol, plus I do think these images are super cute
