Happy Birthday Paddy!

Hello.

Today is my cousins birthday. The card I made for him uses two Creative Stamping Magazine sets. The image is from the For Him set and the sentiment is from the Celebrations set.

Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad!

Hello.

Today is my parents wedding anniversary so I'm sharing the card I gave them. The image I used is from Beccy's Place, and the sentiment is from the Celebrations set by Creative Stamping magazine.

Paper bracelets

Hello.

When I first tried paper bead bracelets I promised my Mum I would make her one. I finally got around to making it. It uses a paper from Basic Grey's Oxford 6x6 pad. 

When I gave the bracelet to my Mum she asked if I would make one for a colleague of hers who is leaving. Her colleague likes purple so I used two purple papers. The paper on the left is from a Kate Knight 6x6 pad which was a freebie and the paper on the right is from the Celebrations 6x6 pad by Paper Cellar.

Spirograph

Hello.

While I was having a tidy in my craft room/my Grandma's attic I found an old Spirograph set. I thought it would be fun to use for cards, so I had a quick play with it. There are so many more frames I can make with it I will definitely be playing with it some more.

Camper Van

Hello.

I thought I would play with some of my watercolour paper, since I barely use it, so I made my own patterned paper. First I scribbled all over it using five different watercolour pencils, and then swirled them together. Then I stamped the camper van in blue, and stamped over each one in white. The camper van has a heart on it so I filled the gaps in the paper with some embossed hearts using a glitter embossing powder. I really liked how the paper turned out so I didn't want to cover it too much, so I just added some white faux stitching and a sentiment and the card was done.

Bookmarks

Hello.

These two bookmarks were both made using the same Creative Stamping freebie set that I used for yesterday's card.

Celebrate

Hello.

This owl and sentiment both came from a free stamp set which came with Creative Stamping magazine. There is such a great variety of stamps in this set. More of them will be appearing on my blog in the near future.

Corsets

Hello.

This card uses three corsets from My Grafico, and a sentiment from a magazine freebie set. I used a purple gel pen to frame the image.
