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 Study Challenge (the last one not the new one!!)

I know I missed it (story of my life lately) but here is card I was inspired to make when I saw this card by JJ Bolton, the current muse over at the CASE Study challenge blog.  This is the last challenge – not the current one but even though I’m late for the party I thought I’d share it anyway!!

Here’s JJ’s card…

And here’s my take on it – it’s not interactive (still getting to grips with that particular arena of cardmaking) but I was drawn to the negative die cut and bold colours.

The speech bubble dies and sentiment are from one of the latest releases from Clearly Besotted stamps – go check them out!

Thanks again for dropping by!

{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…

Aimes

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!
