Happy Birthday Hollie
Saturday, February 11, 2012
Today is my daughter Hollie's birthday and she is four. She was born on her dad's birthday (who's card I will post later) and so it's a double celebration.
We bought her some lego bricks, windows, doors and people to start her collection off and she wanted some pink lego, which is hard to find, which someone else has bought for her.
We are having a little party tonight so I'm sure she will get more presents.
I wanted to show you the card that I made for her and I made it using the sketch 227 from Mojo Monday.
Paper - Echo Park Summer Days | Stamps - Amy R It's your birthday | Labels - Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Four | Ribbon and Brads - Local Craft Shop.
Happy Birthday Anne.

So today is my sister in law's birthday and so I made her a card which was inspired slightly by the Mojo Monday sketch 187.
I have really gotten in to looking at card sketch blogs to help me recently because I kind of got stuck when designing cards and the Mojo Monday blog has really helped me.
Paper: Basic Grey Origins | Stamps: Amy R It's Your Birthday and Best Birthday Wishes | Border Punch: Fiskars Uppercrest | Label: Spellbinder Nestabilities Label One | Circle: 2" punch | Ribbon: local craft shop | Pearls: Papermania.
My sister in law, her family and my daughter have gone down to London for her birthday so hopefully all the snow want stop them enjoying the day.
More Masculine Cards
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Today I have a few more masculine cards. I have been gaining more inspiration for masculine cards and when I was editing the photos, I realised that I even managed to make one without stars!
Paper: My Minds Eye Lime Twist Out of the Blue | Stamp: American Crafts Birthday | Border Punch:Fiskars Uppercrest | Twine: Homespun from the Heart-ebay | Brads: local craft shop
The next two cards I made some 3D stars. To make them you simply score down from the points of the star and crease them to make them 3D. I really like this effect.
Paper: My Minds Eye Lime Twist Out of the Blue | Stamp: My Pink Stamper: Fabulous Phrases + American Crafts | Border Punch: Fiskars Uppercrest | Twine: Donna Flower | Buttons: Local craft shop | Embossing Folder: Cuttlebugs Stripes.
Paper: My Minds Eye Lime Twist Fly a kite | Stamp: My Pink Stamper Fabulous phrases | Border Punch: Fiskars Uppercrest | Twine: Donna Flower | Label: Spellbinders Nestabilities Label One | Buttons: American Crafts + Sew Sweet | Embossing Folder: Cuttlebugs Number Collage.
Hope these cards give some inspiration to those who find making masculine cards a bit difficult.
Have a great day.
Loving kioshi colours.

I really like the combination of the colours on the Basic Grey Kioshi papers and for this card I chose to use 2 papers, one lighter and one darker.
I like to add stitching and so I added a line all the way around the outside and a zigzag line between the two patterned papers.
Adding some simple buttons and a sentiment makes it a simple card, just a bit time consuming with the stitching.
Paper - Basic Grey Kioshi.
Stamp - My Pink Stamper Fabulous phrases.
Thread - Sew Easy.
Buttons - Local craft shop.
Die - Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 4.
Embossed cupcake card
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
I recently bought the craft concept cupcake embossing folder and decided to use it on this card. These folders are slightly cheaper than the Cuttlebug ones but work just as well.
I decided to use kraft card with the embossing folder and added some stickles to the cakes to make some of the sparkle.
I used a simple butterfly sticker and some punched flowers and added some gems to embellish.
Paper - Echo Park Summer Days.
Stamp - American Crafts Birthday.
Sticker - American Crafts Remarks Cheerful stickers.
Embossing folder - Craft Concept Cupcakes.
Ink - Colorbox Lavender.
Glitter - Crystal stickles.
Border punch - Xcut.
Brads, gems, flower punch - local craft shop.
Couple of masculine cards
Monday, January 16, 2012
I have made quite a few cards over the last few months but have yet to post them on the blog, so I thought that I would start with a couple of masculine cards.
These two cards are ones that I made for one our brother in law's birthday last year. They both have stars and embossed backgrounds as that's seems to be standard pattern with male cards that I make!

Embossing folder - Cuttlebug candy stripes.
Stars - template.
Twine - Donna Flower.
Button and hemp twine - local craft shop.

Stamp - My Pink Stamper 'Fabulous Phrases'.
Border punch - Fiskars threading water punch.
Stars - Fiskars punch.

See you soon for some more cards.
