Yummy cake!

I have another card for my Mother-in-law to give to

her Great Grandson Max who is turning one this month.

I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil called

Kai is One boy.

The papers are from Nitwits called Big Top.

He has been coloured with markers

and the embellishments have been printed,

cut and layered to decorate.

There is a dimensional square paper sitting on his name lol.

Luckily I noticed before popping in the envelope!

Shutter card

My Mother-in-law's 86th birthday is coming up this month

and I always like to make her a funfold card.

I used a Tattered Lace die for this shutter card.

The papers are from a Basic Grey set called Sultry.

Stamp sets used

Happy Birthday to You, Alphabest, Approaching Perfection

and Painted Seasons, all SU.

I added ribbons, brads, pearls and a leaf punch.

The flowers have been double stamped and cut and layered.

This is a side view.

It does close flat and fits into a larger envelope.

Biscuit Buddies!

I had a pile of scraps left after a recent project

and it was a wet Sunday so I decided to make a little

book and fill it with ideas from my newest stamp set from

Card-io stamps called biscuit buddies.

Here are my scraps.

The book is tiny, measuring 2" x 2 1/4"

but it holds lots of ideas using the stamps

which will hopefully inspire me when I need it.

The inner pages are only printed on one side so

I joined them back to back which made the book

nice and sturdy. I then machine stitched

the pages together and covered the spine

with some washi tape.

Papers - basic grey and SU

Die - Tattered Lace

Embellishments - washi tape, ribbon, inks,

white ink, markers.

Our new challenge has started over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and the optional theme is Autumn.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so be sure and join us.

£25 gift voucher!

For my card I used some old paper from a pack I

bought in Lidl many years ago.

It is gorgeous paper. The squirrels and leaves are embossed

and glittered.

I used my plank embossing folder (SU) for a band

across the card which also had ink added.

I then stamped the leaves, corn and pumpkins using

Gather Together stamps and dies (SU).

I coloured the pumpkins and corn with markers.

I added a piece of jute along the bottom

of my border for some texture.

The sentiment was stamped on the border

then I arranged everything in place.

For my card I used a set called Autumn Days

which I got from Simply Cards & Papercraft many moons ago.

The background was inked with my blending brushes,

the trees stamped in brown and the

leaves were stamped in orange, green, yellow and brown

along the bottom.

I then stamped the sentiment in orange.

I added a bit of sparkly braid along the left of

my card then mounted it onto some orange card.

Autumn vibes

Our theme for October over at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

has been chosen by Brenda and she went with

AUTUMN.

For my tag I used some orange card for my base

which I punched using my tag topper punch (SU).

I then cut a piece of yellow card which

I ran through with a floral embossing folder.

I then ran my finger over with some lustre rub-ons.

Next I stamped some leaves using

Gather Together (SU) stamp set and cut them out.

I used my markers to add green, yellow

and orange colour to them and then cut as above

to fit my tag.

I finished with a sentiment (Hunkydory)

and some wool at the top.

*******************************************

For my ATC I used the same stamp set,

Gather Together (SU).

I inked up my ATC with yellow and purple

inks then stamped the large leave

coming off the edges.

I coloured them with markers in the same

ink colours then added some gold ink to

highlight them. I stamped some grey dots

from the same set between the leaves

then flicked some gold ink over it all.

I finished with a quote from Hunkydory

and inked around the edges.
