hello there.......

Hi there, I found this card I created ages ago saved on draft and never posted - in fact I found I do have a few of these draft cards so my aim is to get them up on my blog rather then leave them sitting there in limbo....

The image is a Tiddly Inks Stamp, coloured with Copics and a  Technique Tuesday Word Stamp

birthday surprise.....

Todays card is all about celebrating a very special birthday for a really Gorgeous lady and that person is Nonni from Korttikarkuri.

Happy Birthday Nonni, Wishing you an Amazing Birthday and a Wonderful Year ahead...

Sandie from London Days is kindly hosting the linky party.

I used my favourite stamp from STAMPlorations...

 SKETCHED CUPCAKE and the sentiment is from  SIMPLE GIFT

Now,... Nonni most recently got a new little puppy....  So we thought if would be a nice idea to share our pets with her....

This is "Miss Bella".. my adorable little dog... Bella is 5 years old- a Maltese Cross and she is my crafting buddy.. She has the most beautiful, lovable, placid nature and when anyone comes to visit she will always greet them with a toy to share... She is such a big part of my family and is so very much loved by us all.....

STAMPlorations Sketch #18

 

Hi there and welcome to STAMPlorations Sketch #18.

I turned the sketch around to suit the design for my card and used the..

VIGNETTE- OLD TYPE and the sentiment from  PATCHWORK FRENZY- Graphic Pentagons.
I stamped the typewriter in a grey ink and fussy cut it out.
 The background is a Memory Box Alphabet Die (not yet separated) MFT Rectangle Die cut from a Paint Chip and Technique Tuesday "love you" Die.

The knit background  that you can see behind the Alphabet is a stamp from Impression Obsession.

STAMPlorations Sketch # 17

Hello , time for STAMPlorations Sketch #17

 I have used the NEW stamp  SKETCHED CUPCAKE , I just cant seem to stop using this fabulous stamp, just love it... I coloured the cupcake with my Peerless Watercolours.

I teamed up the Cupcake with VIGNETTE Retro Mod Shapes and

 VIGNETTE Eclectic Florals.

I stamped the retro mod shape square with Distress inks and outlined them with a black pen. The flower from Eclectic Florals was embossed, water coloured and a sequin and diamonte was added to the centre of the flower.

The sentiment was embossed onto Vellum.
