Love Life

Having some fun with colouring using Distress Markers. Haven't made a simple card for a while so love how it turned out.

40 & Fabulous!

My lovely SIL celebrated her milestone 40th birthday recently in style with a surprise roller disco party! Was so much fun and I only fell over 3 times & didn't break anything which is always good! I made her this special pop-up box card and had fun creating the background brick paper with multiple stencils and distress inks. The image was coloured in Distress inks too and the scene came together so well.

   

More Box Cards

Still playing around with pop-up box cards. Still having fun.

I think I've found my favourite card style; pop-up box cards! They are super fun to make and make use of all of those freebie magazine stamps and left over papers to make super cute scenes.

Work of Heart

My father-in-law celebrated his birthday this week and I wanted to do something fun for him. I'm loving pop-up box cards at the moment so I played around and came up with this using the Hunkydory Collection 'A Gardener's World'.

Look Who's 40

This week we celebrated darling husband's 40th birthday. He didn't want to do anything or have any fuss made so that's exactly what we did, nothing but spend the day together as a family which was lovely. But I still wanted to do something fancy for his card. I'd admired this card style for a while but I'd never tried it, so this was the perfect time to have a go at making one of those box cards. He is a massive Star Wars fan and this was a new set of stamps I'd just bought. I created the galaxy background paper with Distress Inks too. It was a lot easier to create than I thought, and am now addicted to this card type, especially after giving it to DH  who was very impressed and even said that it was the best card I've done!

Zen-Sational!

I have loved this image Zen-sational from The Paper Shelter for ages but had been scared to colour it up as I never thought that I could do it any justice. But recently Kit & Clowder had a freebie class for dragons which gave me the confidence to try, plus I combined it with a modified background from the August 2017 monthly marker class. I absolutely love how it turned out!!!

Kit & Clowder Monthly Classes

I've been busy over the last few months playing along with various Kit & Clowder classes, throwing my own little twist to some of them with different colour combinations or different dress patterns.
