Big Birthday Number 15

You may recognise this design from one I made earlier this year, at the time I thought it would make a fabulous eclipse card but I hadn’t thought far enough ahead lol.

Gnome a classic

Not the direction I was originally going with this card but I do like how it turned out. Polkadoodles Gnomes are spectacular and so lovely to colour too.

Gnome Fishing

I used to be so good at publishing the cards in the birthday month, even if I created them months before but now I seem to be struggling with this concept and I have no idea why.

I saw a similar card on the polkadoodles blog so I had to immediately buy the image and make this card, by the time this publishes I will be back from florida having spent a relaxing month there (fingers crossed) so I had to make this card to be posted before I went. I try and make all the cards I need before, during and even a few weeks after a trip as I know jet lag will scupper any plans I had to be creative.

Warm Winter wishes

I had the pink petticoat papers on my desk and all the supplies from the marshmallow cards so I decided to use them on this card. The bear was coloured a while ago and I was so surprised the papers matched so well. 

Another card made and I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, this year has been a challenging one on a personal level so I am pleased I managed to get the cards made at all.

The Big 6 are 10 the final one

This is my favourite of the images in this range and probably my favourite colour combo as well. Now by the time this publishes I will be starting to think about next years cards and wow I have no ideas at all lol.

The Big 6 are 10 style 2 version 3

Another of the cards using the polkadoodle rebel range. I just love the big eyes on these characters. These cards are all fairly simple and kind of sum up where I was at the time in my crafting. I was struggling with my mojo, having a million things to make and not feeling inspired to think outside of the box, hopefully as this was written in March that has changed.

The Big 6 are 10 style 2 version 2

The second of this design and although I like the image its not my favourite one. Not sure how I managed to print this one slightly larger than the others but I did and that meant my favourite notched die got an outing lol.

Daffodily Day

I have only recently shown a similar card in my blog that I made in 2022, of course I discovered one of my friends favourite flowers are daffodils so I seemed appropriate to break out the daffodils again. They are so lovely to colour and although I like the cute polkadoodles images their flowers are amongst my favourites.

A bit of everything with golf

I used this digital stamp last year but unfortunately it wasn't released until after this persons birthday so of course I had to use it this year. I am still obsessed with the MFT birthday stamp and the notched die from Pink and Main. I wonder what the next obsession will be lol.

The Big 6 are 10 style 2 version 1

This year saw a kind of departure from my normal same design different colourways for the big 6. I had already made the first card for the year and was trying to decide on the cards for the other girls when Polkadoodle released the rebel range. Of course I had to buy it all and I decided they were perfect for the remaining girls. As usual I won't be showing the other designs/colours until after their birthdays but this is the first one and I really like the images, hopefully I will use them again soon.

Polkadoodles does it again

I was in my make digital stamps large phase when I printed this image. After seeing this card again I feel like I want to revisit that again. 

Daffodily kind of day

Another of the polkadoodles flower sets and another set that I created last year. Again I remembered these cards whilst searching to find the colours to make another one. I’m not sure why I didn’t publish this post last year but here we are anyway lol.

Polkadoodles digi sets are such great value and even though I coloured these ones myself they also have a set ready coloured for those quick cards.

Last card of 2022

And of course its a birthday card, I ran out of christmas cards a few days ago lol. Also its not from the newest obsession line either....or maybe its the next obsession lol.

I do like these flowers from polkadoodles, such movement to them and an absolute joy to colour too.

I just want to say happy birthday Kay and also happy new year

Beer Gnomie

Another of the gnomies from Polkadoodles, this time I went a different way but still using a stencil. I rediscovered this stencil from MFT and now I can't stop using it so expect to see many more of this style lol

Golfing Gnomies 2

Of course when I made the previous card I couldn't just colour one lol, I went a different way for the cart and I am not sure which I prefer lol

Golfing Gnomies

I love a good gnome stamp and this is certainly one of those, in case you like it too its a digital stamp by Polkadoodles and I might have bought a few lol.

I did stencil the scene behind the cart and I really like how it turned out.
