Wine Cork Cheers

I borrowed this stamp set from a friend and I had an idea of what I wanted to make since she first showed me the set during covid. It came out exactly as I pictured and I love it.

Swifty era

My clearly besotted collection is continuing to grow and now that they have digital background images it will only grow faster. 

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.

First Birthday Girl

I do love Mo Mannings digital images, this one I first used in 2014 and its still works today. I was a bit obsessed with this layout at the time I made this and I must say I may start using it again, I just had an idea to stamp a background christmas icon image in two colours and match them up, I may have to play with that right now lol

Hot Wheels Adjacent

These cards were made so long ago I am struggling to remember making them let alone what I used lol. All I know is that the stamp set reminded me of matchbox/hot wheels cars and I had to use it, now of course I have had this set since it was released but lining up layered sets is not my strong suit so don't expect to see it again anytime soon lol.

Karate Chop

Now you could be forgiven for thinking all these cards are for boys who are the same age as that’s my usual style but not this time, I made them for lots of ages and I loved changing the colours to match the recipients hair and favourite colour. 

Shiny Nail Polish

It has been a while since this die set has been used, and each time I use it I want to make more, there are some sets that are timeless and this is one of those. I went with foil rather than glitter this time and even though it was a nightmare to photograph I love the shine.

 

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

Kawasaki Rides again

I have said it before and I will say it again making new friends means I can revisit old favourite designs and recreate them, this was a new stamp but the design certainly wasn't 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 

Craft Day with my Freinds

I made these cards for two of my Florida friends, I tried to make them look like them and me. It was a labour of love and a lot of colouring so the rest of the card is fairly simple. Sometimes thats exactly what you need to let the image shine.

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. 

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.

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

Simple and classy

 OMG I forgot to post this last year, its a simple, elegant design so it needs to be shown. 

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.

Avengers Assemble

I wanted this set when it was first released but it kept selling out so imagine my surprise to find it in the clearance section, I don't think I have ever checked out so fast lol.

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

Ferrari Down Under

A quick card because I needed to get it in the post and it was winging its way to Australia too. When I am on a time crunch I go with a tried and true design and this is just that.

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

Camping Retirement

I was asked to make a retirement card and to include a camper van, this didn't end up like I wanted but the recipient loved it and that is all that matters.

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.

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

Forty Fishing

Another big birthday and yet again I have gone for the shape on a 7x5 as they definitely stand up much better and they are still effective too. I also made a 3d fishing hat for him and he loved both, I am always concerned making guy cards and I am always pleaseantly suprised when they like them. 

 

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. 

More first birthday boys

Another two for the price of one card, I liked this layout so I thought why not use it again, it’s very effective and of course I can use up some of the paper mountain. I couldn’t use my go to first birthday image for one of the boys as he has an older brother and I’d made it for him so of course Mo manning is my first choice for babies and little kids as she seems to capture the expressions so perfectly.

1st birthday boy

I went with my normal design for first birthdays and it will always be my favourite, I just love the large balloon.

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.
