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.

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 

Bulldog Boy

I bought this stamp set for this one specific image lol, I have a friend with a bulldog and after she saw her husbands card with a bulldog on it insisted hers had one too. She loved the card I am pleased to say but now where am I going to find two more images for next year lol.

Goal!!!!!

Another football card this time for a Manchester City fan, its such a generic image you can make it look like any team or player.

I might have made more of these so look out for those too

Slap Dash

I can always tell if I am pushed for time to make a card and this was one of those, since I came home from Florida in May I have struggled with both my mojo and knowing what date it is, I thought I had lots of time to make this card and then the posting deadline loomed and this was all I could muster. Hopefully next year will be better

Marathon not the chocolate bar

It’s that stencil again, it’s so versatile and makes the perfect backdrop for an image, I will probably be using it again soon. This is for my friend who runs marathons, she has done over 50 now and I am so in awe.

Neat Birthday

Along the same lines as the previous card as the stencil was still on my desk and I had the made to surprise box set out so I thought why not make two same but different cards, this was a go to when I was stressed with making so I am trying to do that again to alleviate some stress. Now I am aware that card making should be a de stress but sometimes when you have a lot to make and not much mojo its not stress free lol

Spill the Tea

This card came together so fast it made my head spin, its for a bingo friend and the idea came about after a discussion about tea one evening, I knew she would get the concept and the sentiment and she did immediately. It was nice to revisit an older design that I enjoyed making but that does seem to be a recurring theme at the moment. 

I felt similar during lockdown as I do at the moment, everything feels heavy and I hope it passes sooner than the lockdown did.

Football Fan

When I was looking for a design for this teenagers card I remembered the net stencil and that I had this made to surprise set and an idea was born. I have used this set with quite a few images so far and its so versatile for those guys in our lives.

Shoes again version 2

Last of these for a while, not permanently though cos I made a few lol. I tried to make these look different by changing the inside colour but I am not a fan, so the next ones I went back to the original colours. 

Shoes Again

Recently I showed a lady with this very background and this is the card that the background was left over from. I do love a two for one deal lol. And again you might recognise this stamp set but not this colour combo. I have a large group of friends from bingo and as they have never seen any of my prvious cards it makes it easier to recreate a favourite and of course I get to make a card that makes me smile.

Golf Version 2

This is the second version of the card and I must say I really like this design, I might have made a few variations of this and I want to make more lol.

Golf Version 1

I might have made almost the same card last year so as my mojo is missing I recreated the same style. Sometimes when it’s this clean and simple people assume it’s quick and easy but the time it takes to not smudge the ink and to keep the project clean mean it takes much, much longer lol

Blender brushes the final one…..for now

You might recognise this design from much earlier in the year and that is because I was showing my friend the cards during a video chat and she asked for her birthday card to be a teal version lol.

Blender Brushes the return of the rainbow

Another blending brushes card and one made in the sections of the rainbow theme, as I’m writing this post I can feel the urge to make more returning but the million dollar question is monochrome or rainbow lol

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.

Rainbow Blender Brushes

This was the original version (more will be coming soon) and it started another of my obsessions lol, I went rainbow and loved how it turned out. Seeing this again is making me want to make more 

Variation on a Theme

I had a blue background left over from the shoe cards and I knew I didn't have anyone left to send that same style to but then I realised that these shoes were also in the stamp set and they would suit a younger lady. Bish bash bosh and the card was made.

Return of the Shoes

Another rerun of a classic design for me, I went with a different colour scheme but I really like this design and the image too. I’ve been making them for the ladies I hadn’t made them for last time but I think I’m running out of people to send it too and I’m kind of sad about that.
