Mo Manning - Kai in the Snow - Baby Birth Cards

Can't believe how long it has been since I blogged.  Really need to catch up.  Here are a couple of baby birth cards I made for some colleagues at work.  A girl and a boy card.  I really enjoyed marking these two cards, which are both 8x8” so fairly large size, which the Mo Manning Baby Kai in the snow digital image works well with as you can resize them to fit well within the card.  The first card uses some DCWV Nana’s Nursery papers mounted on Bazzill Basics coloured card.  A couple of buttons finish this off.  The card to the right uses First Edition Up and Away papers again layered on Bazzill Basics coloured card.  A simple punched border down the side with some Liquid Pearls dotted down it.  Both sentiments are typed and printed off the computer using fancy fonts.

 

LOTV Blossom - Retirement Card

Here is a card I have made for a colleague who is retiring in a few weeks time.

The card is DL in size and has some scraps of paper from my stash in the background, no idea what make they are, sorry.

The image is from LOTV and is called Blossom.  She is lovely to colour in as so simple.  I then used a sentiment from LOTV which was cut out and layered onto a woodware punched scallop circle.

The ribbon was a bit from my stock which I bought years ago in a sewing shop in Holt, Norfolk.  Sorry I don't know the name of the shop but it was amazing and was just next door to the Aga shop. 

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.
