For You...Happy Birthday

Good morning! I hope you've had a good week! Ours has been busy and full of germs but not too bad :-) I've made a last minute card for this months Make the Day Special sketch. I've used an older Mama Elephant stamp set and some funky office style papers from Doodlebug. I made the two panels slightly wonky and flicked some black ink over the card to give a sort of 'messy desk' look - in my head anyway! ;-) I've also used this weeks Colour Me... colour scheme and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes challenge. I hope you like it, thanks for looking and have a lovely Sunday! xx

Supplies;
Stamp - Mama Elephant 'Type It'
Papers - Doodlebug 'Take Note'
Sentiment - Winnie & Walter 'Big, Bold & Happy'
Ink - Distress Ink 'Black Soot' & Stampin' Up 'Real Red'
Cardstock - Stampin' Up 'Real Red' & 'Basic Black'
Dies - Nestabilities 'Circles'

To a Special Couple

Hiya! I hope you're well! After stuffing my face with pancakes this evening, I had a little bit of crafty time and I've made this card. I was inspired by this weeks Muse challenge card, and combined it with this weeks Paper Player CAS Birds theme along with CASology Monochrome challenge so make a simple wedding-y card. I hope you like it, thanks for stopping by :-)

CAS(E) this Sketch & Fusion challenge

Afternoon! I hope you're having a good weekend! I've had a little card making time this morning and made this card. I really like this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch sketch so I really wanted to join in, and I also love this weeks Fusion challenge colour scheme - it's sort of modern retro looking - love it. I really liked the vase of flowers in the photo too so I made one with some Clearly Besotted goodies, the new stamp set Simple Silhouettes, which I stamped in a cluster and fussy cut. Then I used the vase die from Flower Arrangement cut out 6 times, layered up and given a coat of glossy accents for a nice shiny look. I think white enamel accents would have been better but I don't have any - yet ;-) I hope you like it, thanks for looking!

SSS February 2015 card kit #1

Hi! I've been umming and ahhing about signing up for the monthly Simon Says Stamp card kits for ages - over a year! And I've finally done it, yay! :-) it's gorgeous and today's card is my first one using it. I've stuck mostly to the supplies; patterned papers, rub ons and the sentiment stamp, then I added in a PTI die cut which I stacked up on black card for dimension, some sparkly gems and silver stitching.
I'm entering it into this weeks AAA Cards challenge 'Love', Fusion Challenge photo (I used the love theme with metallic elements) and the Friday Mash Up challenge, I've gone with the 'Love theme' option.

I hope you like it, thanks for looking! Hopefully I'll get a chance to play with the kit more later :-)

Papers, Rub Ons & sentiment - Simon Says Stamp 'February 2015 Card Kit'
