Birthday Card for my sister

Hello.....
This is a card I made for my sister's birthday.

I have used a cute little stamp from my collection, coloured it in using my promarkers. (Just love these alcohol markers to colour in, thanks to my friend, Maree for introducing me to them), cut him out and stuck him to acetate.
I have cut out the card using a spellbinders label in my cuttlebug to make the shape in the middle, added my image on the acetate, covered the card with some paper from my stash and added some leaves and flowers and the little sentiment sticker on the bottom.

As I love to add my own sentiments on the card I type up on my computer, and then add my own wording, I needed the space to put this, so I have added another layer in the middle as in the photo shown on the right of the inside, stamped the front of it, so that it will show through the acetate, using a flourish stamp from my collection and Distress ink Dusty concord ( I also love these inks, as there are so many ways to use them).
And there is my card.

Hope you like my little card.... :)
And come back soon.  Have a great day everyone :) x

A couple of quick cards!

 

Hello,
Wow 2 posts in 1 day - how good am I??? Lol
I have a couple of quick cards that I made.

The first one "Tools" I made for my father-in-law's birthday.
I have used some red foil card as the background and embossed it with a "tool" embossing folder I have.  I stamped out the "Stampin Up - Totally Tools" stamp set, coloured them in using some "Gelly Roll glitter pens" to give it that little sparkle.  Added the "Happy Birthday" sentiment I cut out with my cricut on black card & used glossy acccents on top.  And there you have it my "Happy Birthday" quick card.


This card I made for my next door neighbour's little boy who turned "4".  I have used green cardstock as the base, added and yellow cardstock for the front.
The whole card has been cut on my cricut. The monkey was cut out using the "Create a Critter" cartridge, and the tree and the grass were cut out using the "My Community" cartridge. 
I have cut out the number "4" using the "Pooh and Friends Font" cartridge on black cardstock and used kindy glitz on top to add the sparkle.

I think this little card is quite cute and was very easy and quick.

Hope you come back and visit my blog soon.
Have a great day! :) x

Better late than never....

Hello....
Well as promised I have added a new posting - wow I can't believe I am actually adding another one so soon....... :)
As christmas is approaching us very soon, I thought I might pop my wooden christmas tree I made from last year on my blog...
 I bought this wooden christmas tree (sorry not quite sure what brand it was) from The Craft Stand (who have recently closed down, so I can't add the link).

The tree came with a range of chipboard christmas bits in the pack and I also added some of my own.
I have put the box together and covered with some christmas paper I also bought from The Craft Stand.  I painted the tree with kaisercraft white paint and added some crystal bling to make it sparkle and the little mirror star on top also came in the pack.  I painted the sleigh with red paint and used glossy accents on top and added the christmas bear (which I had) to sit in the sleigh.
The little presents I handmade myself and covered in various christmas papers I had in my stash.
The chipboard  "Merry Christmas" also came in the pack, along with the presents and the tree on the side of the box.  I have again painted them and used glossy accents on top.

Well at least I can just about get this out of my "christmas stuff" storage and use again soon..... Oops don't think I really want to know that Christmas is just around the corner and coming too soon....
Have a great day everyone, and pop in again soon, I may just have another posting, now that I am on a roll..... :) x
