Red Riding Hood

Another of the secret stamp club images and another go at one of the sheetload templates, I don't attempt everyone but when I find one I like I can't seem to stop lol

Slippers

Almost the last of these, I have one more but I won’t show that until after the birthday so I don’t spoil the surprise lol. 

These stamps are from a range that the greeting farm did way back in 2015,  it was a secret club and you had no idea what was arriving each month.

Another of the ready coloured images and this time I have used the sheetload sketch that seems to be a favourite of mine especially recently. I have also been using patterned paper a lot too, I don’t think I will ever use all of my stash but it would be good to make room for more lol.

How to make someones day

I changed up the magnificent seven cards this year and didn't make them identical. I had printed this image and the hair reminded me of my friends grandson so I decided to just go with it. I have used the sheetload template again and even used my coveted doodlebug papers.

I received a video from my friend where her grandson explained why he liked the card and I have to say I was struggling with my mojo and whether I wanted to continue making cards and that video made me realise its about the recipients and that they know someone cares enough to make something by hand for them.

Aubrey Sheet Load

Another sheetload card, when I find a design I really like I use it a lot, this design is one of those and the image was already coloured and all i needed to do was create a design that worked around it, the clearly besotted papers were still on my desk and they worked perfectly. 

Lately I have been struggling with both card making and life in general. Ive had a few things that I have needed to deal with medically and they take a toll on your mental health. When i am struggling new designs are beyond the scope for me so I revisit ideas, images, colour combos that I know worked before, there will be a lot of those going forward and I hope that I find my mojo soon.

Sheetload October for the win again

I used the October sheet load again and I think it might be a new favourite, I found this already coloured image in my stash and thought it marched perfectly and now I have found this birthday stamp and die set again I can’t stop using it lol.

October Sheetload

October sheetload was such a fun template and so easy too. I have already made a few cards with this layout and I really like it, maybe it will make a dent in my paper mountain lol.

 

Sheet load of cards again

I made an almost identical card in the summer and as the person this card is for has a bulldog I wanted to recreate it, of course I couldn’t find the stamp set and it’s taken me three days and numerous times to find it. Of course it was worth it but it has made me realise my current stamp storage system is broken.

Sheetload for Guys

A second version of the Sheetload cards challenge but this time I went with masculine colours and a cute pug from aall and create. 

I have another 5 of this background I should be using but there is always next week lol

Sheetload of Cards

I discovered this challenge after attending one of the “stamp me some love” cardmaking events, I watched a video from Alicia (crafty al) and she mentioned her challenge that is monthly so I went and looked and I was hooked. I sat and cut a few sheets of paper and made a sheetload of backgrounds, I will hopefully be adding images and finishing them all soon. 

But to start here are two using a set from Lil Inker, I love the look that the coffee inside the cup gives. Writing this post makes me want to make more and that’s the thing I love the most about this blog, it makes me want to craft .
