Penny Black - Woodland Friends Birthday Card

Here is a Penny Black (I think) card which I have coloured in my Promarkers.  The background papers are from a DCWV set I have.  The set has no name that I know of, but came as a set of drawers from QVC.  Lush!!

As this is really more of a boys card there is very little glitter and quite plain ribbon on the card and a Craftwork Cards sentiment in black, which I have gone over with one of my Promarkers to highlight the white words to green to match the c

Tilda Cheerleader Birthday Card

Cheerleader Tilda
Here is my entry into the Bunny Zoe's Craft Challenge which this month is an Easel Card.

This is one of the new Tilda's, a Cheerleader.  She is coloured in with Promarkers and I have used DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl set of papers.  I also added another copy of the Tilda on shrink plastic on the base of the easel card.  I used one of my LOTV sentiments, which was stamped onto the DCWV paper and then put onto a punched scalloped circle in the same card as the blank.

I plan to give this card to one of my crafting friends for her birthday next month.  She just adores Tilda's.


Footballer 21st Birthday Card - Mo Manning


Here is another commission I had.  The request was for a Sheffield United birthday card for a 21 year old.  No mean feat!  Anyway I found this fantastic digistamp by Mo Manning, this will be so useful as I have so many footballer cards to make.  This was coloured in Promarkers and I printed off a sentiment as I needed to add the lads name on it.  I then printed a couple of badges from the football teams website and added these on to finish.  The background was plain red but my husband suggested I put a couple of white strips down to make it the red and white stripes that the team have.  Thing it worked well.  No ribbons or glitter on this one!!

LOTV Pom Pom and Birthday Fairy - Christening Cards

I was commissioned to make a couple of Christening cards for a pair of sisters who were toddlers.  I decided to make matching cards in the same colour pallets but both a bit different.

The cards are using LOTV Pom Pom and Birthday Fairy stamps.  They were then coloured with Promarkers and the background papers were from a My Minds Eye pad.  I printed the words on my computer.  

Kanban and Joanna Sheen Flower Stamps - With Sympathy Cards



Here are 3 Sympathy cards that I made for an order.  The rose versions are using the QVC TSV stamp, not sure if this one is available but Foilplay has lots of these stamps.  The daffodil stamp is a Joanna Sheen one.  These both make perfect Sympathy cards, in my opinion.  This is an area I always struggle with.  There were all coloured in with Promarkers which you can also get from Joanna Sheen.  The words are printed on the computer.

Molly Bloom Birthday Cards - Uncles 50th and Cousins 21st (Tractor and Farm)

Really enjoyed making these two cards for my Uncle's 50th Birthday and my Cousin's 21st.  They are both farmers, hence the subject.
They are both stamped up using Molly Bloom Farmyard range, which you can get from Whichcraft 
They were all coloured in using Promarkers, which you can get from Joanna Sheen at a brilliant price, free p&p

LOTV Pom Pom - Birthday Wishes Card

This card was made using one of the LOTV stamps, Pom Pom, coloured in with Promarkers.  I then used some HOTP papers, a few gems from my stash and a Papermania purple bow with a Craftwork Cards sentiment (coloured to match with Promarkers).
