Happy 60th Birthday Jim...

My beloved other half came home and asked me to make a card for his colleague's 60th birthday...told me the night before it was needing made...just the usual last minute dash...he thinks I can create anything in 5 minutes....I wish my poor brain and body don't work like that any more...

So quick and simple it was...



The Blank card was another buy from the SECC craft show...

The DP are downloads from Pink Petticoat...cut with nesties on grand callibur...

The image was a colouring page found on tinternet and coloured with promarkers...

The sentiment is computer generated and cut into banner...

I'm sure the brads were in the docrafts goodie bag in May but maybe not...

I'm entering this card in the following challenges...


By The Cute And Girly...A day at....(The Caravan...my option)

Thank you for looking...hugs and happy crafting..xx

 




HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BROOKE

I made my 1st stepper card today...with the help of my Hougie Board...The blank card is a scallop 8x8 card that I bought from SECC show...I made the DP panels with my Craft Robo...which made things much easier for me...Im not very good at the cutting and measuring thing...lol...

Sorry for the rubbish quality of the picture as every day here has been dull and rainy...so not much light for getting pics...


The gorgeous Birthday Girl Stamp is from Wee Stamps...isn't she just adorable...She was a freebie on the Copic Marker Europe blog but unfortunately I was too late for the freebie but just had to have her so popped her in my basket from Wee Stamps...Dont you just love a freebie and hate it when your too late...
I coloured her with my copics pens...I don't have many copics but worked with some I had...they were...
E00...E21...E51...Y15...W-1...R20...R32...E04... E35...

The design papers and flowers are all from the Docrafts...12X12 DESIGNSTAX - NEW ARRIVAL...amazing cute papers with glittering on some of them...

I cute the number one, the flowers, the mats and the lettering using my Craft Robo...

The pearls are from Hobbycraft...lots of glamour dust to the lettering,cake and flowers...unfortunately due to the rubbish photo it does not show up very well :-( it looked much better in real life....

I have fallen in love with my robo again after neglecting it for so long...so much so Ive treated myself to the new Silhouette Cameo...from Create and Craft TV...I got 20%  discount on the double discount day...Now I cant wait for it to arrive and take pride of place on the dining room table..."who needs to sit and eat at the the table when you have a knee"...that's my quote of the day...haha..

I am entering this card into the following challenges....

13th Birthday...Chloe

 I was asked to make a card for a girls 13th Birthday...very last minute once again so here's what I came up with...



The beautiful image is Strike a Pose she can be found HERE at Darcy's Diaries...lots of lovely images to be found there many with teenagers in mind which I love...

She has been coloured in with Promarkers...

The circles and swirls and lettering were all cut using my craft robo...all from free downloads found browsing on-line.

The paper flowers were all cut with the x-cut punch and decorated with pearls from my stash...

I wish on hindsight that I had gone round the lettering with faux stitching  but as I was rushed didn't notice until after the card was away that it may have looked better doing that...
oh well...feedback was positive so that's all that matters...

I am entering my card in the following challenges...

D'Arcy's Diaries Challenge 9...Pearls and Swirls

One stitch at a Time...Anything Goes

PanPastel UK...Use a Digi

Thank you for looking :-)
