Mens Sports Cards


Here are a couple of cards I made from the John Byars for Docrafts Sports Stamp set.  This is one of my favourite sets for men as it has so many sports/activities in it.  I bought it from Crafters Cover a couple of years ago but they no longer appear to stock it, but I am sure you could get it elsewhere or on ebay.

I then used some paper I had from an old DCWV set and some card candy from Craftwork Cards.

Mo Manning - Baby Girl Card

Sorry I have been away so long, just not had the inspiration or time to blog.

Here today is a card I made ages ago for a friend's baby.

It uses the Mo Manning "Spit Happens" digi stamp and is combined with the LOTV sentiment set.  These were both coloured in with Promarkers.

The background papers are all DCWV either plain textured card and Nana's Nursery card.

A die cut flourish finishes it all off.

Mothers Day Card - Mum

Still trying to update my Blog with Mother's Day Cards.  This was one that I made for my Nephew's to give their Mum.

It is simply the Docrafts Mum stamp, coloured in with Promarkers and layered up on a deep purple/burgundy card and inverted corner punched.  A sliver of ribbon at the back and a knot in the corner finished it off.

Very simple.

Sarah Kay Autumnal Card

I made this card in the Autumn, just never got round to showing it on here.  This a very difficult and fiddly stamp to colour in butI think it is quite impressive when finished.

I coloured the card in with Promarkers and then added some beautiful Bo Bunny autumn papers to the background.  I layered all up on a golden card and added a couple of pumpkin metal corners, a LOTV sentiment and some gorgeous satin edged chiffon ribbon.

Purple Harlequin Blank Card

I fancied doing something a bit different recently so had a look through a friends stamps and found these two harlequin co-ordinated stamps, sorry no idea of the make.

I stamped the masked man onto the card and literally coloured him in in one colour with my Promarkers.  I then distressed around the edges with my Stampin Up purple pad.  I then stamped the harlequin checkered design onto a large sheet of white card which measured slight higher and a lot wider than my cut out image and stamped at the edge.  I then cut around the design and marked up on a card where this would sit.  I then stamped the same image directly onto the card and then added the image topper to it all. I am very impressed with the overall design and think it works well.

I also stamped the checkered design down one side of the inside of the card.

Thanks for looking

Selection of Carousel Pony Cards

Here are a selection of carousel ponies that I made using a fantastic free set of drawings from Beccys Place, she now has a shop which is just amazing.

The images were all coloured in with Promarkers and then the background papers were from an old set of Wild Rose Studios spotty papers.  The round sentiments are all LOTV and the Thank You one, I just have no idea where it came from, but is really pretty.  A few flowers and/or ribbon just finish it off.
