A shaped 21 card...

Hello everyone :o)

Ooh look... I managed to design a shaped card using the Cameo software!  I started with the scalloped number cut files and faffed around until I ended up with this... ooh I was really pleased with myself lol.


This is another card for my cousin - mum needed one to send, although she chose the Leanne Ellis card I made, so this is the one from us.  There are things I wish I'd done differently - not too keen on that shimmery green/ aqua cardstock now, wish I'd just cut it in white... but I'm still quite impressed that it actually worked!

Items Used
Shaped card - made using Scalloped Numbers (design ID #19277)
Papers - LOTV
Butterfly die - will add name later, not sure!
Sentiment - Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler - Craft Mojo
Pearls from my stash

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Papertake Weekly - anything goes + optional shaped card
Sweet Stampin' - sentiments only (does this count?)
Totally Gorjuss - sentiment as main focus (again, not sure if mine counts!)

Off for a commenting catch up... Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Doodle Flowers - Craft Mojo DT

Happy Saturday everyone :o)

I have a bright and cheery card today, using a couple of the fab Jane's Doodles stamp sets from Craft Mojo.


This one's gone to my Auntie, whose birthday is tomorrow... it's non-stop birthdays in our family at the moment!

**Craft Mojo are now stocking Wink of Stella brushes... mine arrived this morning, so I'll be playing with it soon**

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

White linen cardstock - Papermill Direct
Stamp - Sugar Nellie Journey - Funky Kits
Colouring - copics
Papers - Docrafts Gorjuss

Another heart parade...

Hello again... I'm back with my second post for today, a card that I made for this week's Less is More challenge which is 'rainbow'... but I don't think I'm entering because it's not ended up all that 'rainbow like'!


Items Used
White linen cardstock - Papermill Direct
Heart Parade die - Simon Says Stamp
(cut 3 times and layered to make it thicker)
Scraps of Echo Park papers
Digi sentiment - Pink Petticoat

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Simon Says - have a heart

Off for a little catch up with your blogs... Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Crafty Little Fairies - Love

Hello everyone :o)

Our new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies is 'love'... it doesn't have to be Valentines, just for someone you love, or a love theme (weddings, etc).  We're sponsored by The Ribbon Girl this week.

My card is actually for my Mum, as it's her birthday tomorrow... hopefully I'm safe showing it now, as it's very rare Mum uses the internet - she often gets me to order stuff for her and it's pointless emailing her anything because she never checks her messages.  Of course, today she'll probably decide to have a quick look at my blog lol!




I still need to add 'Mum' to it, and I'm not sure why the heart looks red - it's the same pink as the papers really.

Items Used
Shaped base - cut with Nestabilities Grand Labels 1
Stamp - James Big Heart - LOTV
Colouring - copics
Papers - Perfect Pair - LOTV
Sentiment tag stamps - LOTV
La La Land Heart Banner die
Whimsy corner die
Seam Binding - Craft Mojo
Lace & flowers - The Ribbon Girl
Pearl from my stash

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
LOTV Monthly - name that tune (A Good Heart - Feargal Sharkey)
Papertake Weekly - anything goes (+ optional shaped card)
Craft Room - ribbon & lace
Divas by Design - die cuts
Simon Says - have a heart

I'm feeling a bit better today... and the sun is shining, although it's still cold, so I'm much happier too!  Hope you all have a lovely day :o)
