Lots of birthdays!

I've had loads of birthdays recently and mostly special age ones. I made most of these using my Simon says Stamp kits, Avery Elle Fabulous florals stamps and dies and AC Thickers.
Hope you like, let me know what you think :o)

 

late Valentines....

I made some cute valentines cards for my BF and LO with products from this years and last years Simon says Stamp products. I made LO's super quick on the morning by die cutting felt hearts on my sizzix big shot and using the stamps from this years kit and I used gelatos and distress inks to water colour the other one.

Hope you like :o)

 

Christmas, yey!

I've started making xmas cards at long last.... I made 13 in a night and really enjoyed the process. I used lots of different techniques  such as heat embossing, die cutting and different media. The paper pack was a 12x12 Maggie Holmes called open book and even though it wasn't a xmas stack it had a sheet of these gorgeous reindeers, so sweet! I've attached a couple, hope you like :o)


Stamp A Faire Threads challenge

I came upon Danielle Flanders blog and the Threads challenge that is on at Papertrey Ink.
I loved the threads video and was itching to try her thread roses and here's the outcome.
I used a sizzix mason jar die for the vase which I highlighted with a wink of stella and I used glossy accents on the punched heart. I'm really pleased with the overall effect.
It's been so busy over the summer with LO and so much fun (but not much crafting for mummy!) but schools back next week so I may have a bit more me time...

birthday card

Made this quick card using the Simon says stamp April card kit and a craft asylum flower die with my sizzix big shot.
I heat embossed the greeting and used some washi tape on card stock to make the banner. Super quick and super cute :0)

busy busy .....

Been very busy, lots of birthdays and teacher gifts to make so I made it a bit easier by making the teachers a card to put a costa gift card in. I have used up lots of scraps and stamps from the Simon says stamp card kits so a bit of a mix. I have also been using my new wink of stella pen which I've almost used up, its hardly out of my hand!

Simon says stamp card kits

Made some cards from the June and July simon says stamp card kits,  just bought a clear wink of stella as well so used it the cut out of the smile die.  The nautical one is a card for a man, have so many male birthdays at the mo!
