Bee Caffinated

This was a quick and simple card because time was up against me but I still wanted it to be handmade. I do love the clearly besotted bees, I may have bought more lol

Purple Converse Obsession

This card was for a fabulous young lady who is obsessed with her purple converse and I thought I have an image I can use to recreate them, its fairly simple otherwise, the dies have been on my desk for a while and I can't seem to stop using them.

Monkeying Around

This card came together so fast it was scary lol, it happens like that occasionally not often although I wish it would when my mojo is on a walk about lol

Candle Eclipse

Angie Blom was having a sale and I saw this background set and I knew immediately who I would make it for. I went for bright colours and I had a blast colouring it. I am picturing it with a dark background too.

Case'd Equaliser

Have I case'd one of my old cards, well yes I have lol. I was looking for a stencil and came across this one and thought it deserved to be used again. I wonder if it will be several years until I use it again lol.

put on you shoes

My literal/fixed thinking took over when I was making this card and the shoe had to be black and the sole red lol. I also tried a new gold/yellow combo and i like that it looks more like gold, if only I could remember what I used lol. 

You could be forgiven for thinking this is my first Pink Fresh stamp set but it is not it is however the first one to see ink, think I need to dig the others out and use them now. 

Big Woof

This was also in my folder and as I liked it I thought it deserved to be shown, I was in my grey background coloured image stage of making cards and I had forgotten how effective this is lol

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.

Astronaut Revisited

I made this design a few years ago and I know I sound like a broken record but all the energy I have had for crafting is to recreate an existing design, trying to come up with an original idea in amongst the chaos would be a step too far at the moment, although the recent heatwaves have made me want to start christmas making lol

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

Footie Fifty

I do think that an eclipse card makes a statement especially for a big birthday. I was searching for inspiration when I came across this manufacturer and it made me fakk in love with them all again. I wish they were still around but alas they are one of many that aren't.

its the weather for Beer

Sometimes making new friends means you can send them older designs of cards because they will have never seen them and that means you get to recreate some of your favourites too. I call that a win win lol. 

Dreaming Beauty

It’s been a long time since I used either this stamp set or the nesting cloud dies, I did use the dies to create a stencil which I always forget you can do lol.

Happiest birthday

The last post talked about me being obsessed with this layout but I hadn’t realised it was the first one I had showed so now you will start to see the pattern lol.

Layout Obsessed?

I was obsessed with this layout from MFT, when I find one I like I don’t seem to be able to stop lol. Lots of different companies were used to make this card, the dog is from MFT and the card he is holding is blank but I wanted to add something, I found the mini set from MFT and the sentiment fitted perfectly it just needed an image so mama elephant gashapon set to the rescue. You may or may not see more of this layout and then you can decide how obsessed I was lol.

Snoopy 3

I used my normal US A2 for this one and although I like it I think I prefer the square as the white space is larger and more impactful.

Big Birthday 4

The fourth card and its only May, I am enjoying making them so maybe the secret is to just get all the big birthdays done in one hit. A bit like I do with kids, I make all the cards for each age at the same time so that might just be the secret formula lol.

Big Birthday 3

I didn't print this one to make a 70 but I needed a card for a dinner party so this was the design I had ready to go. So expect to see this again but with different colours later in the year.

I remember saying that there weren't many big birthdays but I think I might have to change my tune on that as I have made quite a few so far and its only May!

Big Birthday 2

A tried and tested design and one I am sure I won't get tired of, I did emboss with clear the background and in real life its subtle but you can see it. I am enjoying making cards for people who have never seen any of my designs as I can recreate some favourites.

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
