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.

Sunnies Anyone?

You might have spotted a theme and again I’m trying to use the backgrounds I’ve already made, this year I’ve not wanted to spend as much time in my craftroom and I hope that changes soon because it’s my sanctuary and safe space and I miss it. Enough waffling onto the card, I bought this stamp set from the ton years ago just for this image but of course it had never been inked lol. So now I can say it has lol.

The perfect combo again

So I had the supplies out so why not make two cards the same but slightly different, when I showed my hubby he asked me to make one for a friend of his, high praise indeed lol.

The perfect combo

Sometimes you see a stamp set and you just have to have it, this happens to me a lot so I often wonder why it takes me ages to use it, this was this stamp set and it took this stencil from spellbinders to make me actually stamp it and use it. Of course now I’m left wondering why I didn’t use it sooner and of course I want to make more 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.

Snoppy 2

Another Deb Hallett inspired card and I must admit I am loving using square cards again, I have so many in my stash and they deserve some love too.

Snoopy number 1

I was inspired by “Deb Hallett” on YouTube who makes the loveliest cards, she leaves a lot of white space and uses black as the accent and I am sure you agree it’s very effective. I had to have this magazine set and I might have used quite a few and they will all be variations on a theme, that seems to be my style at the moment 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. 

Beauty

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.

Slumber

I have had this image coloured for the longest time and unusually for me it’s coloured with pencils on Kraft. The background was left over from another card and that’s not going to get shown for a while.

I decided to try and use some of my already coloured images, I have a lot of those and I have tried several times to use them up but maybe this time I will be successful.
