Motorcycle Birthday

When I saw the Motorcycle stamp in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue, I knew I had to have it!  And of course, I had to colour it red....just like Mick's bike!

I was really pleased with how his birthday card turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely As A Tree...

Digging back through my folder of all the cards I haven't shared yet, I came across this one that I made for Father's day:

I love Soft Suede and Baja Breeze together!  I also love the distressed edges on this card, but I just can't bring myself to do it very often.....just doesn't fit with my clean and simple style!  It suits this card perfectly though :)

Thanks for looking!

Cheers To You

Life has been so hectic here this week that I just haven't had the time to post anything at all! Unfortunately not much creating has been happening here this week either, so I am going to share cards that I made to do at the demonstration I had last Saturday.

This card uses the Cheers to You stamp set, which is another one of my favourites. I used the Aqua Painters to colour in the beer mugs, and a Blender Pen with Bordering Blue ink around the beer mugs to give them a bit more definition. The Happy Father's Day sentiment comes from the Occasional Greetings stamp set, which has a bit of everything in it. This card looks fantastic even without the Happy Father's Day sentiment on it, and is what most of the ladies did when they made it at the demonstration.

I loved the card so much I thought a "girly" version was in order! It would make a cool birthday card! I covered the drinks in Crystal Effects and added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to finish it off, and it looks fantastic! I will be making a few of these cards to send to my son's school for their Father's day stall, and Very Special Kids to sell at their fair in November.

Happy Stampin'

Crazy for Cupcakes

I am so in love with this stamp set! I have made many girls birthday cards with this, but was struggling to come up with a male card....until i saw this card posted on Splitcoaststampers. It is almost a complete CASE, it's just missing the little cupcake circle down the bottom. I am still debating whether to put that bit in or not!
