Happy Birthday Mum!

Hello.

Today is my Mum's birthday! As well as making a card for her I have made her a calender. This guy is Romeo by Kenny K. Anyone who has ever had to make my mum a coffee will have most likely heard her saying the phrase I have added. The writing was done using Hobbycraft's Typography Alphabet, and the paper is from the Oxford pad by Basic Grey. 

I used another Kenny K image (Total Disaster) for her card. I have been planning this card for her since I first got that digi. I used an Elzybells alphabet for most of the sentiment, and a FunkyHand stamp for the rest. The spotty paper is from the All Seasons pad in the Recollections range from Michael's.

Goth Rock Star

Hello.

This is the calender I have made for myself. I have used Shy Goth Girl by what was Squiggle Stamps, but they have closed and their stamps have moved to The Stamping Shack. The background paper is from the Rock Star pack by Best Creations. I finished off the empty corner with some gems.

Hello.

This is the calender I have made for James. I added fingerprints to each month on the calender, as well as all over the background. The zombie is from Make It Crafty, although he doesn't appear to still be on the site. I created the writing using the typewriter alphabet from Hobbycraft.

Calenders

Hello.

My cousin and her boyfriend have gone back to University today after the Christmas break. I gave them a pair of calenders as gifts to take with them. I included pictures of when James and I went with them to Comic Con. The title was added using glittery stickers by Making Memories and the paper is from my pile of out of packaging paper, so I'm not sure what pad it's from.

31 Day Card Challenge - Day 9

Hello.

Day 9's challenge for the 31 Day Card Challenge is stamp kissing. It's a technique I've never tried before, and it turns out me and stamp kissing don't get along. I decided to try with two different paisley stamps, and the one on the card is the third attempt at it. I might give it another try with different stamps, and different inks, but for now here is my stamp kissing card.

Cardvelope

Hello.

It's not often I have an idea for a card before I sit down to make it, but this one I did, except the stamps, I didn't choose them until I looked through what I have. I ended up using a Sharon Bennett set which was a magazine freebie and the 'Hey Cupcake' set by Elzybells.

Here is a close up of the stamp, to show the detail better. I added glitter to some of the sprinkles and gloss to the cherry. I don't have a black fineliner pen, so I ended up writing 1st in silver instead.

Quick and Simple birthday card

Hello.
I made this card in ten minutes before I had to set off to work, so it's just something quick and simple.
- The papers are all from the 'Spring Burst' 6x6 pad by Papermania
- The sentiment is by Anita's
