Vintage Bicycle

Hi Everyone,

Well 3 days in a row....woohoo, I'm really enjoying having something to show you and I have even been managing to catch up on some commenting on your lovely blogs too.

I was asked to make an assortment of 'flat' cards for my box at my friend's slimming club, the card I am sharing today is one of those. I have quite a few more to show you over the next few weeks but I will mix them up with some more embellished ones so it doesn't become samey (I dont think thats even a word is it Lol)

So on this card I used my Joanna Sheen Vintage Bicycle

I used paper from Dovecraft 'Back to Basics' pad, Xcut punch for the little butterflies and a Woodware punch for the tiny flowers. I added teeny pearls to the flowers and butterflies.
The sentiment is from a CB set - Sugar and Spice and you can't tell from the pic but I embossed the sentiment with clear powder.

Be back soon and thank you for looking and your lovely comments,

Hugs, Kaz xxx

Birthday Lola

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying the lovely sunshine, I must admit I have been suffering a little its a bit too hot for me...the upside to that is that means I have been taking refuge in my craft room which is probably the coolest room in my house so I have a few cards ready to blog !

The card I'm sharing today is using a Pink Petticoat (now back and renamed The Lovely Studio) image,

 I have coloured her with my Promarkers and Illustrator pens and used some lovely Trimcraft papers that were a magazine freebie recently. The little snippet of pink flowery paper was from a 12 x 12 pad I got from The Works years ago when I first started cardmaking.

I am entering this card into Challenge #121 at In the Pink today, I have been wanting to start entering some challenges for a long time now but being a complete tech numpty Lol I couldn't figure out how to do it but thanks to the lovely Christine who talked me through it I have finally managed it.
Thank you so much Christine !

Be back soon, thank you for looking today,

Hugs, Kaz xx

Father's Day

Hi Everyone,

I'm here today with the father's day card I made for my father in law using another great Digistamp Boutique image 'Grandad Relaxing' coloured with my Promarkers.

I used a Kraft card blank from Hobbycraft and papers from the Works.

I would like to enter my card into the monthly challenge at DigiStamp Boutique

I hope everyone has been enjoying the lovely sunshine this weekend,
See you again soon,

Hugs, Kaz xx

Football Alf

Hi,

Finally back with you all and I thought I would show you a recent card I was asked to make, a 50th birthday for a Hull City fan !  I love the Alf character from Digistamp Boutique he just makes me smile so I decided to use 'Football Alf' for the card.

Its a large card 8 x 8, after googling the correct colours for Hull City I coloured Alf with my promarkers.  I used papers from Etsy and made my own 'Tigers' paper on the pc too as that is the teams nickname.  The numbers are cut with a Stampin'Up die and I cut 3 layers for those, 2 black layers and a white layer which I coloured to match. I then offset them slightly so that there is a bit of a shadow effect.

Thank you for looking today,

Hugs,

2 More Sleeps !!

Hi Everyone,

Yep only 2 more sleeps until the big day....is everyone ready ??
Food shopping today for the fresh bits you have to leave until the last minute to get, hopefully it won't be too manic but I think that's probably wishful thinking Lol

Anyway I have another Christmas card to share with you today,

I used LOTV's 'James wrapped in Tinsel' digi stamp for this card coloured with my new Illustrator pens, I love these pens and they have a lovely brush nib but I need more practise, I have tried to make James look 'furry' but it hasn't turned out quite how I hoped. I used some sparkle gel pen on the tinsel and baubles which you can just about make out in the pic I think.....really sparkly in real life though !
Matted onto Kraft card and some Trimcraft paper that was free in a magazine. The lovely sentiment is LOTV I love the font on these sentiments and the snowflake die is Clearly Besotted.

I still have a few Xmas cards to share with you but just in case I don't manage to get back before the big man in the red suit arrives I would just like to wish all of my lovely blog friends a truly wonderful Christmas, hope you get everything you want from Santa ;) lots of crafty goodies hopefully and to say thank you for sticking with me this year as I know I have been a pretty rubbish blogger but I promise to try harder next year !

Big Hugs,

Santa Claus is Coming to Town !

Hello Everyone,

Well I think I am finally catching up with everything, Presents still to wrap and a couple more cards to make (hubby's and my in-laws) and probably a few more tags but phew other than that I think we are sorted !
I know I'm not alone in saying every year...Next year I am going to be more organised...yeah right hahaha

I have a Christmas card to share with you today, I had this digi image on my pc but it has no name on it, I had thought it was LOTV but I can't find it on their site so I have no idea where it is from...if anyone can help with that I would be grateful.

Anyway onto my card

I have used some Pink Petticoat paper matted onto Ruby Red card from PMD, Joycraft die-cut Trees and a Joanna Sheen snowflake. The image is coloured with Promarkers and my new Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens which I love, I have added some sparkle gel pen to the fur on Santa's jacket and hat but you can't see it in the pic. I had such a problem with shadow when trying to photograph this card and then it ended up a wee bit bright instead :(
The sentiment on this card is from LOTV.

That's all for now, thank you for looking and if you have time to leave a comment it will make my day !

Hugs,

Thinking of You

Good Afternoon,
I have a couple of Thinking of You/Sympathy cards to show you today,

For the card on the left I used an IndigoBlu stamp and the one on the right is an Inkylicious stamp.
I used Seedless Preserve Distress Ink for the background and just matted onto black card. The sentiments were from 2 different CB sets.

Hope you are all having a crafty weekend,
Hugs, Kaz xx
