Polka Dot Love

I think I have really been inspired by the weather yesterday as here is my second post for today.

This time its for the challenge at Paper Sweeties with the beautiful photo below for inspiration. The colours are just so soft and pretty. I do love those spotty wellies!!

Here is my card:

 

This time I have used the same papers as my previous post from Printable Heaven and used the stamp set from Paper Sweeties called Make Today Beautiful.

 

I have paper pieced the flowers and the pot in matching paper and stamped the leaves onto corrugated card and cut them out.

The layout for my card was taken from the challenge at Sketch Saturday.

 

Pretty Polka Dots

What a beautiful day yesterday.  My daughter and I went for a little bike ride, well my daughter rode her bike and I just ran after her.  Hopefully we will get her training wheels off by summer.  We then did a little shopping and visited a café.  The weather was so nice we even had our coats off and sat outside.

So when I saw this weeks challenge at  The Shabby Tea Room I was inspired by the weather yesterday and the thought of spring.

My first Easter card:

 

The topper and papers are a download from Printable Heaven called Easter and Mothers Day recipes.

 

I have added a few paper flowers and a wooden butterfly.

 

 

Happy Valentines Day

Sorry Its a bit late but we have been without electric since Friday!! Thankfully we are now back online.  I made a card last week which I had in mind for a few challenges but with no internet I was unable to post it.

So here it is:

After a recent win at The Ribbon Reel I received a voucher to use at Paper Sweeties so I decided to have a play with my new stamps.  It was a very hard decision on what to buy as the shop has loads of gorgeous stamp sets.

I have used Sending Sweet Thoughts stamp set.  I have then paper pieced the cupcake.

The layout for the card was taken from the challenge at Mojo Monday which I missed!!

This card is for the challenge at The Ribbbon Reel with this gorgeous photo for inspiration:

 

and also the challenge at Paper Sweeties

 

 

 

Paper Sweeties!!

What a day.  First of all Happy Valentines Day all I did have a post with a valentines card but I cant access the photos so will have to wait for my husband to come home from work to help me.

It also very windy here today so thought I better getter a post done in case we loose power again which did happen two days ago and we have had no internet or phone for a few days.

I have been having a play with my new Paper Sweeties Stamp sets.  Such a gorgeous website full of lovely inspiration. 

 

This card is made using the stamp set called Make Today Beautiful.

 

I have paper pieced the flower and coloured the pot and stem in with promarkers.

 

 

Here is another card using the same stamp set but had ago at masking to fit all the lovely flowers in the pot.

 

 

and added a bit of lace and a few buttons.

 

 

and finally of course my favourite thing CUPCAKES!!  This stamp set is called Sending Sweet Thoughts.

 

 

 Again I have paper pieced the cupcakes and added some glitter and a little sentiment flag.

 

Such great little stamp sets with so many possibilities.  When they arrived in the post they came in bright pink envelopes with Happy Mail written on the side.  Such a lovely touch and the delivery was super fast all the way from the USA!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tea anyone?

I love making cards with a tea theme and look at the loving inspiration photo from The Shabby Tea Room.

 

Very warm and Cozy!!  The challenge this week is to create a card using the photo for inspiration and using white/cream with cups and/or teapots.

Here is my card:

I have stamped and embossed the teapot, cup and butterfly and used my pink cosmic shimmer embossing powders which I haven't used for a while and I haven't got much left.

 

I have added a little hat pin with a tiny sentiment and a lovely organza and paper flower.

 

Clean and Simple?

I have got around to making my first valentines card, hope my husband likes it.  I have gone for a bit of a clean and simple look which I don't normally do but thought I would give the sketch challenge at Less Is More ago,

Here is the sketch my card is based on:

 and here is my card:

 

The papers and digital stamp are from Pink Petticoat which I am afraid are not available anymore.

 

I have then added a little glitter heart to the image.

 

 

On A Role

Here I am with another Christmas card.  Its lovely how much Christmas and winter inspiration is around.  Hopefully I will get on top of my Christmas makes this year.

Check out the gorgeous inspiration photo from Cupcake Inspirations.

and here is my card:

 

I have kept my card simple.  The papers are from Pink Petticoat and were just bits I had in my stash and I have used Spellbinders Snowflake die and of course added a little jingle bell.
