Mind that Wall

Morning All

I seem to be making cards earlier and earlier so can't show them on here until after there birthdays so today I decided to make a card just for fun. I have recently bought a few kenny k images so decided to use one for this card.

Coloured with my trusty copics and using paper from a previous card and cardstock from my snippet draw I came up with this simple card.

I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the wall but it looked too plain so decided to use my distress inks to grunge it up a bit. I am always a bit anxious when I start with the inks as I haven't mastered the art of inking yet, I tried the applicator and it went ok but then I tried a plain old shaving brush and hey presto better coverage and control for me and I now want to ink everything in sight lol.

How cute are these kittens?

Just wanted to wish one of my good friends a very Happy Birthday and show you all the card I made for her. She has two adorable grey cats that have a real mischievous nature so I hope that I have captured that in this card. As soon as I saw these images at Digistamp Boutique I knew who I wanted them for.

I have been seeing the Echo Park springtime papers all over blogland and knew I had to have them but how do I sneak another paper pad past hubbie, well I have discovered a fab way of doing just that buy them as digital downloads lol and then he never knows how much I have bought lol. I bought springtime, little boys and summertime and will be back for more so if you like digital downloads check out this site - Jessica Sprague.

Why is it they always play with the box?

I have loved this image from Mo since I first saw it but never bought it until now. I couldn't wait to colour it and it was even more fun than I thought it would be lol.

Used some papers that you have all probably seen around blogland before but these ones are slightly different, why I hear you ask? well because they are digital woohoo. Never run out again print whenever you want and resize to your hearts content, can't say better than that. I bought a few sets so expect to see these popping up all over my blog. I bet you would like to know the name of the site.....it is Jessica Sprague and she also has Cosmo Cricket...woohoo again.

Hello All

I am back today with a large creation, I normally make 5 x 5 or 6 x 6 cards so this 8 x 8 was a bit of a tall order - pardon the pun. I normally wouldn't even attempt this size but decided to view it like a McDonalds meal and just supersize it lol.

No snippets this time as I didn't have anything large enough in my snippet draw, used lovely shabby chic papers from Raspberry Road and a digi image by just inklined. I think large cards are where digi stamps outshine their rubber counterparts as you can make them any size you want and this one is only a £1 what a bargain. The ribbon is from a set by Poppicrafts and is the last bit I have so now need to find somewhere else stocking this as poppicrafts has closed :(

Hello All

I made this card a while ago but hadn't posted the pictures. I used an image from digi shack but when I went to link back they seem to have closed :(. They did fab images as well and I hesitated on quite a few, that will teach me to buy them when I see them.

Onto the card, coloured with copics and as a bit of a laugh I used flock on his slippers lol.

A Get Well Soon Wish

Wow three posts in one week, I must be ill.

My next door neighbour has recently had an operation so I wanted to send her a get well card and this die cut square from Lilli of the Valley is perfect. I really wanted the stamp but didn't think I would use it but have made three different cards with the die cuts so maybe I would have.

Jules would be proud again as apart from the image all the rest came from my snippets. I am loving the colour combos using snippets brings.

A Snippet Make At Last

It seems like so long since I made a snippet make but since I reorganised my craftroom I check the snippet draw before I make anything. I am not quite ready to show you my snippet draw like Jules has but maybe soon lol.

So onto the make you may recognise the papers from the last card I uploaded and you would be correct. They were on the top of the pile so just had to be used up, I am left with very small scraps but I already have a plan for them. No A4 pieces of card were harmed in the making of this card and even the image was stamped on scrap, coloured with my trusty copics and a bit of glossy accents and hay presto a finished card that I actually like. I used my Josy Rose nailheads and I love them, thanks Jules for bringing this fantastic product to my attention.
