Thanks a melon Tara

Hello. 

Today we have something a little different for you. 

The design team have all got together to organise a surprise blog hop for Tara and Rick.

We all wanted to say "Ta Tara" for all the work you do  and for the fantastic service you provide.

And to Rick for supporting Tara and the shop.

As I'm a bit useless at all of this i will let the rest of the team and their wonderful cards do the talking.

You will find the full hop list below and we hope you will join us In saying Thankyou.

I started by die cutting my two panels.

The scalloped one i coloured using distress inks to match the colours of the melons and then heat embossed in white the pattern from Sharp backdrops stamp set.

The stitched rectangle panel was cut from water colour card and the melons randomly stamped and heat embossed in white before colouring with water colour pens.

The full hop list in order is .....

World photo day

Hello.

Its world photography day today and that's inspired today's cards. 

First up is this card using Lawn fawns #Awesome stamp set.

I am ashamed to say it hasn't seen much ink if any since Ive had it.

I started by using the small camera icon  and heat embossed with clear powder.

I then water coloured and left to dry.

I made the sentiment and added to the water coloured panel.

Very simple to do and some clear sequins finish it just  nicely.

This card uses an older lawn fawn set, Say cheese. 

I love the old polaroid style camera ...still have one in real life too.

I simply stamped and coloured with pencils before fussy cutting.

I stamped the background using stamps from Winnie and Walter and hero arts ombre ink.

To add my sentiment i cut the camera where the picture would come from and place the banner with the stamped sentiment in,

  

 

I hope you get to take some pictures today ...maybe of cards ...for our challenge? ;)

Quick thank you cards

Hello.

Sorry for the late post today.

Today was the kids last day of school and yesterday morning i thought i had better whip up some quick cards.

I didn't want to go down the normal route of apples ,books and blackboards so i went with something more personal.

My son has had the best support from his teacher and TA and i wanted it to look like he was saying "Thank you".

I found this recent photo and loved it.

I then used the Lawn fawn stamp set Many thanks for the speech bubble.

And then added the teacher and TA's names using Claire' ABC.

There you have it two quick thank you cards.

 It took about 10 minutes to make both.

Thanks for looking.

Merry Christmas

Hello.

Its another Christmas card from me today :)

I die cut the "merry" and used lawn fawns Interlocking backgrounds stamped  behind to add some colour to the letters.

"Christmas"  is stamped using Clair's ABC.

I used some Peppermint twine from lawn fawn to hang the little bauble from Ornate ornaments.

Thanks for looking.

F'ant'astic Day

Morning Everyone and welcome again to the weekend :0)

If you have a dislike of ants then you probably wont like today's card I have for you but seeing as they are Lawn Fawn ants I think they are quite cute!!

I really love the row of marching ants in the set called 'Happy Summer' and together with Quinns Alphabet and Claire's alphabet I made a fun card using the sentiment as the focus.
The Quinns alphabet is great for paper piecing and allowed me to add a pop of colour to the card....I think they are rather proud of their spelling don't you :0)
I'm not quite sure if he's adding the F or removing it!!!

The smaller sets of Lawn Fawn stamps are great value and perfect to use on smaller or CAS cards and of course they work perfectly with other Lawn fawn sets too :0)

Thanks for looking today.

A Moooving Card!!

Good Morning and hooray for the weekend :0)

My card to share with you today is an idea I've had kicking around for a while in my head and now I need to send a 'moving home' card, I just had make it.

You probably know by now I have a minor obsession with Lawn Fawn stamps so you wont be surprised to see I've used them again today, I also have a love of punny sentiments and I've used of of those as well.....

I love creating scenes with the critters sets and thought a herd of cows to be quite appropriate for a moooving home card. Rather than masking and stamping them I decided to stamp, colour and cut them out to arrange them in the oval frame. The green grass and yellow sun are cut from the Lawn Fawn Bright Side 6x6 paper pad.

Top Tip : When using cut out images that have a solid black line around them the white card shows on the edge so I like to conceal it with a black Memento marker so it just neatens up the edges and gives a more professional look...it also hides any wiggly cut lines *wink*..... I also find it better to hold the pen from the back of the image just in case it slips (ask me how I know that!!!)

I have decorated the inside too with  Lawn Fawn papers and finished the sentiment off...

The Stamp sets used are : Critters on the Farm,  Claire's ABC's,  Jessie's ABC's

Hope this inspires you to get crafty this weekend... now I need to get this in the post :0)

Have a great weekend.
