Summer Card Swap

Hi Crafters,

Just popping in today to share a card that I made for a swap on Facebook.

My lovely swap partner was Liz McGuire from Buttons for Brains and as she has now received this card I can post it here.

Recipe

Stamps and Dies Set - MFT Die-namics - Sunflower Sweetheart

Medium - Promarkers

Papers - First Edition - Boho Chic

MFT Die-namics Flower Trio Die

Marianne Designs Border Die

EK Success Scalloped Border Punch

Buttons and Ribbon from Stash

All the elements in the scene came in the stamp set and I used the matching dies to cut them out after I had coloured them with my Promarkers. I used small brown buttons for the centres of the sunflowers and added brown glitter for detail.

Numbers

Hi Crafters,

I've been using my MFT numbers die and a little inspiration from Pinterest and created this card...

Quite a simple design really but very effective I think.

A fun little make and one I think I will replicate for different ages in the future.

Well that's all from me, a very late post today.

I love this action figure stamp, just in mid save. This card is going to be for my Great Nephew who will be seven soon and plays for his local under 9's football team.

I made a sort of polaroid aperture with my MFT dies and put the image behind it, I thought it looked like a snap shot from a match, what d'ya think?

Look Who's Turning 6 !

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all having a great week.
This is a card I made a few weeks ago for my Great Nephew, I've already shared one of his cards with you a while back, I thought I would go with bold and bright for this one...

I got the idea for the layout and design from Pinterest.

I'm busy working on my project for our Christmas Card Club this Sunday, however from now on I will have to post it on Saturdays here as my first DT project for 613 Avenue Create is also due each fortnight on a Sunday. I don't want to post twice in one day so I'm sure the ladies in the CCC won't mind if I share on a Saturday instead.

Hope to see you all before Saturday but if not, have a good week!

Masculine Birthday

Hi Crafters,
As you've heard me mention before I find male cards a bit difficult but since I discovered this great stamp from Impression Obsession - 'Map' I've had a light bulb moment and made quite a few cards. Some for birthdays and some for Father's Day, which won't be long - 15th June - the rate at which this year is flying by.
Here is the birthday one and I will share the Father's Day card tomorrow,

6 x 6 card blank

Map stamp - Impression Obsession

Ship stamp - Habico Vintage Transport

Paper twine - Tim Holtz

Wave die cut - La La Land

Label die cuts - MFT Die-namics - layered labels

Lighthouse charm from stash

Distress inks

Kraft cardstock

I inked the white cardstock with a mixture of Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks and then when dry I stamped the Map over the top and embossed it with black detail embossing powder. The wave die cut was inked with the same three colours to match and so were the labels layers. I then embossed the Ship stamp in exactly the same way as the map. Added two lengths of TH paper twine and a bronze charm from my stash which I mounted on to the circle mats.

Challenges:

Scribble & Scrap - Anything Goes #17

TTCRD - Anything Goes

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes #228

 

Bye for now,
