Happy Birthday Grandma!

Hello.

Today is my Grandma's birthday. I have bought her some pink and white roses, so I had to use Rosalee from Delicious Doodles on her card. The image was so big I decided to keep the rest of the card simple, so I just added and sentiment and rounded all the corners.

Happy Birthday Poppie!

Hello.

Today is James' cousin's birthday. The card we are sending her uses Felicity from the 60's Girlfriends Collection by Make It Crafty. She is backed on a dotty paper from my scraps and a music note paper from the Bird Song pad by First Edition Papers. To finish I used a Forever Friends sentiment.

31 Day Card Challenge - Day 3

Hello.

Primary colours is the third challenge of the 31 Day Card Challenge. I coloured Dragonlets and Me by Delicious Doodles in the three primary colours and backed her on a paper from the Life of the Party pad by Basic Grey. For the sentiment I chose one a 'magical' one to go with the dragons, it comes from the Black and Gold - Phrases stamps set in the Forever Friends range by Docrafts.

Pen Pal Cards

Hello.

The couple of cards in this post are the ones I recently sent to my two pen pals. 

Butterflies

Hello.

This is just a really quick and simple card. I used a couple of my favourite craft items on it; the Swiss dots embossing folder and the Kingfisherlicious colour spray. The butterfly is from the Thank You set by Hobbycraft.

Crafter's Companion

Hello.

I recently bought a couple of Crafter's Companions stamp sets. They are so sweet I had to use them straight away. This is the couple of card's I made with them.

The first one uses the Grandma set. My Grandma's birthday is coming up later this month so I might send this one to her. I used a paper with a hopscotch pattern for the background to keep with the theme of childhood games.

The second card uses the Best Friends set. I knew I wanted to use this floral ribbon which was recently given to me by James' mum, so I coloured their dresses in to match it.

Pen pal

Hello.

Last month I joined another craft forum called Craft Bubble. They have a section for pen pals, so I looked in there and found a couple of people to write to. This is the first card I have sent. I waited until she had let me know it arrived before posting it on here.

Teddy Bo

Hello.

I've recently reorganised my craft room and realised that I have a lot of sets which came free with magazines which haven't been inked up. This card is making a start on using some of them. The bear is from a set by Teddy Bo & Co. The actual stamp isn't holding anything so I gave her a balloon from a Crafter's Companion set. Both the image stamps were from unused freebie sets. The sentiment comes from the Forever Friends 'Black and Gold (Phrases)' set.

Celtic Goddess/Native American

Hello.

This is one of the Delicious Doodles images I mentioned I had coloured. She is described as being a Celtic Goddess on their blog, but she reminded me of a Native American so I coloured her as one. I am now on the look out for a feather to finish off the bottom panel, because it seems to be missing something.

Skate Chick

Hello.

Another Kenny K image for today's card. I have four more printed and waiting to be coloured, so there'll be more of his images coming up in the next few posts. This girl seemed perfect to create a scene card, so I used some papers from my stash to make a background for her. The sentiment comes from the Phrases set in the Forever Friends range by Docrafts.
