It’s sunny – so here’s a sunshiney card!

Hellooooo!  Here to share a card I made for my lovely sister-in-law Nikki who has recently become the newest member of the “40” club!  She has always loved the colour yellow and sunflowers are one of her favourites (they always remind me of her) so I immediately grabbed the Blooming Marvellous set from Clearly Besotted when I sat down to make her a card.

The little “40” was cut using the modern numbers dies from PTI and the sentiment is from Big Birthday Wishes.

Well, better get back to work – groan!

{CASE}ing Aimes!

THIS IS MY SECOND POST TODAY – PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY APFP CHALLENGE CARD!

Every time my lovely friend Aimes comes up with a new and clever interactive card I am always inspired!  Today however I have decided to not just be inspired but ACTUALLY give it a go myself!  Here’s the card that got me to give this technique a bash…

Now, my take on Aimes latest interactive masterpiece is NOTHING like it, I have taken her “reveal” ideal and used it with one of the fabby sets from Steph’s latest release at Clearly Besotted Stamps Super Dad.  At first glance the card looks quite conservative, a little “grey”…

Dad its your day 1

…. but wait – pulll up on the little tab at the top and whey-hey – the tie changes from boring pinstripe to neon stripes!!  Hee hee!!  I had a few “issues” whilst making this card but for my first go I’m actually quite pleased!  Hope it get the “Aimes” seal of approval anyway 🙂

Dad it's your day 2

Thanks for popping in to see me – have a great day!

Lets Celebrate (at A Passion for Papertrey)

Aaaaand finally – here I am with an actual card to share!!  It’s been so long since I sat down with stamps and ink and card I almost forgot how much I loved it!!  We have a new challenge launching today over at A Passion For Papertrey  and it’s a challenge I’m sure many of you will be able to join in with.  The theme is “Celebration” which has just about any occasion or event covered!  I’ve been waiting for the right time to try out one of my newest sets – Watercolour Wonder and played with one of my all time favourite combos of Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores. I’m not sure if I should’ve added the felt embellishments now – they were a bit of an afterthought!!
