Savvyshoppabella Birthday Card

This card was made for my Sister in Law and I love it! I used my new SU papers that I ordered from Jules over at Julie's Japes (again I've had them yonks and only just used them). I love the fact that they are double sided and used my Queen & Co sequin flowers and brads. I also love my savvy shoppa as she is just what I look like on my trips to town!!

Elzybells Sheep Birthday Card

Tut tut, what a naughty blogger I am! I can't believe the last time I posted was in December....I have no real excuses except for the fact that with working, looking after two children and all the housework, I just don't seem to have any spare time. I made this card a few months ago and haven't even had time to post! Anyway, I was given this lovely stamp set my Michelle over at The Card Grotto for my Birthday back in October and really enjoyed making this card.

Bon Voygage Card

I made this card for my neighbours as they were going to Germany for a holiday and had never flown or been abroad before. I used my new stamps from Elzybells and coloured in with copics. I layered doodlebug paper and cardstock and cut out with my new Nesties (still trying to get to grips with these). I then finished the card off with pink gems.

Country Girl Thank You Card

I made this card for a friend at work who wanted two thank you cards to send to two host families in America who looked after her son when he went over. I absolutely adore this paper by K&Company called Sparkly Sweet as it was sooo glittery. I inked up my new Alota Country Girl Standing stamp and coloured her in with copics. I'm still not really happy with the finish you get with Copics and I'm hoping to get better with practice.

Happy Halloween Card

I made this card for a birthday party my daughter went to for Halloween (and I'm also going to enter it into the Spiral Whisper challenge). Not too sure if I used too much orange but never mind. I used my new prima flowers and a papermania glitter brad. The embossing was done with my new Cuttlebug pumpkin folder. Don't you love the cute little cat in the corner? Both stamps are from Spiral Whisper and I have used papermania gems for the stars and 'i'.

Nurse Congratulations Card

I made this card for Michelle over at The Card Grotto for passing her nursing exams. I used Nurse Lexie from Spiral Whisper for the image and coloured in with Copics. I liked the colours used in this card and it's also the 1st time I've used mini brads (glitter ones for this card, which you can't see in the photo) with Prima flowers and I like it.....The paper is by Sweet Spots by Reminisce.
