Simple card!!

Backing paper is from Polka Doodles Sugar Birdies cd. The stamp is from Stampin' up. A simple card.

Hobby art as seen on tv!

Saw this card demonstrated by Jenny on Create and Craft. I ordered the stamp set Anna's collection special wishes and thought I would have a go. I masked off the end of the card and I stamped with stazon. I then watercoloured using dye inks. A piece of contrasting ribbon was placed along the masking point.

Loving couple card!

Yet another fab design from digitalstampboutique. I used the little rose stamp from Crafters Companion popcorn bear romance collection and versamark to give a watermark effect background. I coloured the image with my promarkers and I used my Martha Stewart border punch to add strip detail at the bottom of the card.

A little birdie!

I love this colour of card and just had to use it when it came from my Stampin' up demonstrator this week. The stamp is from Crafters Companion Clearly Hand Stamped set. The strip of paper is from Crafters Companion Swalk disk 2. I embellished with contrasting flowers gems.

Love card

Love this stamp. I was given the set by a friend - thank you! I stamped the background with the bird and love word using the same shade of ink as the card to give a watermark effect. I printed a contrasting paper from Forever Friends cd. I used the wing of the bird to stamp the corner detail. I mounted the stamped image onto kraft card.

It's nearly Valentine's Day!

Here is a card I have made with a digital stamp from digistampboutique. I have my kids card making club at school tomorrow and a male member of staff voiced an interest in maybe coming one day to see what we do. I have cut all the elements for the card and hopefully I can persuade him to come and put it together for his girlfriend. The papers are from Popcorn Romance cd from Crafters Companion.
The kids are making a never ending card and a valentine's card so they should enjoy that.

Men and their Motors!!

I have had this stamp for quite sometime and have used it in the past. I wanted to try the distress ink water brush technique. I chose browns to give it an old look. I masked off the edge and used the stamp with versamark to give a watermark effect. Men's cards are so difficult to think up but I am quite pleased with this one. The stamp is from rubbadubbadoo and came as part of a set when I bought it.
