Birthday Card for my Dad

Here is the birthday card I made for my Dads Birthday on 28th April. Happy Birthday for the 28th Dad, have a great day.
He moved out to France about 6 years ago so when I saw this Lofty french themed stamp set I knew I had to buy it to make a card for him. Isn't french lofty cute.
I have used Promarkers to colour the image in. I have stamped the word Bonjour in black ink on to the white piece of card along the top. I have faux stitched around the edges of the image, the flag and the bottle of wine/glass image.The lovely spotty ribbon was bought at The Range, I think it was Anita's. All three images have been stuck on with 3d foam to raise them off the base card.

This time a red and white card with the theme of going to the movies. I have used a white base card and followed the sketch over at Karens Doodles Scandinavian challenge blog.

The image is a digital stamp from Karens Doodles and has been coloured in with Promarkers. The white little circles are white pearls and there is also a red pearl on the deckled edge tag. I have used 3d foam tape to raise the image.

It wasn't me !!

I just love this digi image by karens Doodles. I have followed the sketch at Inspirational
card sketches. I have paperpieced the chair with gingham paper printed from a download from Pink Petticoat. I have used Promarkers to put some colour to the cats eyes and nose and left him white as I thought he looked sweet how he was. The dotty paper and stripe paper are also from Pink Petticoat. The green scalloped circle has been cut out with a nestie and the card is pearlescent although I don't think this shows very well in the photo. I have edged the papers with silver peel off lines.

My first ever 3d Reveal Card for Emily


I thought I would have a go at a 3d Reveal card using my new monkey stamps I bought at Ally Pally last weekend. My daughter Freya helped holding it closed for the first photo, thank you Freya.
I was really pleased with how it turned out. The stripey paper on the outside is printed from a Pink Petticoat download, so is the small dotty paper in the back of the card.
I stamped out the monkey images and coloured them in with Promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with my circle and scalloped circle nesties. The other circle has three bananas in the shape of a 10 on it as Emily, my niece will be 10 on the 22nd April. That was Freya's idea so she stuck those on the circle for me, I think it gives it a nice touch.
The 3 brown bars across the card move along as you open the card up to reveal 3 lots of monkeys.
I hope she likes it, most kids like moving cards don't they.

A cute little chick card

Here is a card I made using the sketch over at Friday Sketchers. The base card is Lavender pearlescent card which I have made a 14.5 cm square card from. I then printed off some stripey paper from a Pink Petticoat download I bought a few weeks back.
The image is a Karens Doodles digi stamp which I have coloured in with Promarkers. I have matted and layered it onto yellow card and then stuck to card with 3d foam to raise a little from the card. The other panels have been embossed with my new Cuttlebug folder called Jules Jewells and then layered onto yellow card and stuck flat to card. The ribbon is from a local craft shop and I made a bow with the same ribbon and stuck this on top. The gorgeous flower is a Flora Doodles with a lovely glittery/sparkly centre.
