Have A 'Berry' Happy Birthday

-
Today I'm sharing a card that's a bit different to the usual ones I make, as I've mainly used a paper pad for this card. No stamping or colouring on this one!




I've used the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Berry Café 12"x12" paper pad. It's my only Heartfelt paper pad but I really do love it - the papers are stunning and all the little panels and embellishments make it so easy and quick to put cards together. I've added a die cut oval, a bow and some Tonic Studios oyster grey Nuvo drops. Everything else (apart from the 6"x6" card blank and some white card) is from the paper pad (I have inked a few of the edges with Spun Sugar Distress Ink).




I will be entering this one into the following challenges:
Always Happy Birthday anything goes (optional summer birthday)
Crafting With Friends #68 anything goes
Cute Card Thursday #532 hello summer
Crafty Friends #85 happy birthday
Crafty Sentiments summer


Thanks for stopping by today and for any comments you leave.

Crafty Catz Challenge - One For The Girls

Hello all, hope you are well. As some of you may know, I was GDT for Crafty Catz Challenge for January. But they have asked me to stay on as part of their design team...and of course I said yes! We have a new challenge for you today - it is anything goes with the optional theme of "one for the girls". This week Star Stamps is sponsoring us, and they kindly gave us some beautiful images to play with. On my card I have used the Belle Chibi digi stamp. The digi stamp was printed onto Canson "C" à grain paper (it has a bit of a "tooth" to it so is better for use with coloured pencils than a super smooth card) and I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I really enjoyed colouring this one in - I'm pretty happy with how the pleats turned out but I definitely need to practice a bit more! I inked around the edges to give more of a vintage look. The papers are from different pads picked up cheaply (some are some old Paperma

Crafty Catz Challenge - Black and White

Our new challenge starts today at Crafty Catz , and this week we are anything goes with the optional theme of Black and White. Our generous sponsor is Crafty Sentiments. I had a bit of a play for the first time with my new Scan n Cut CM900 when I was making this card. I cut some of the mats and layers out on the machine, as well as the flowers and leaves. I must say I am impressed with it so far! The centre die is Sue Wilson's Oslo die, with her Happy Birthday Mini Expressions die in the middle. I cut the sentiment 3 times in black card and layered them up to make it more 3D. I have also used Sue Wilson's Diamond Squares background and the Jubilee Petite Striplet for the decorative edges. Some Cosmic Shimmer aurora twinkles glitter glue and some Nuvo oyster white pearl drops were added to finish. I would like to enter this one into the following challenges: Lemon Shortbread #68 anything goes Crafty Gals Corner #166 anything goes Crafting From The Heart #208

Good morning all - thanks for stopping by today and hope you are all well. I'm just about recovered from a nasty stomach bug that came on last Thursday - there seems to be a lot of these illnesses about at the moment. We have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Catz  - anything goes with the optional twist of something new, and this week is my last week as Guest Designer at Crafty Catz. I have used my new Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils for this one as well as some papers I was yet to use..  Bugaboo Stamps is sponsoring us this week and I have chosen to use the adorable Sweet Unicorn digi stamp. The pretty papers are from a kit I got as a free gift at Crafting Live Doncaster last July - they match so perfectly with the image. I made some of my own paper flowers to embellish the card, and added glitter glue, ribbon and Nuvo pearl drops too. A super girly card which I really like! I will be entering this one into the following challenges: Noor! Design anything
