A Simple Card For a Friend

Good Morning, so sorry its been so quiet here, Been so busy with work on the house!! 

Anyway this morning I'm full of cold and its really not what i need - finally got an appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed - really not looking forward to it at all but needs must! 

Anyway I'm here to share with you a very simple card I made for my friend birthday this weekend inspired by a pin on pintrest!  I had seen the idea floating about loads and finally made time to make one myself! 

All I used was some of my stash of washi tape - I'm really pleased with the results - something very simple can be made fussy with the sentiment and the die cutting as well as son bling!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges; 

Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes

The Squirrel and the Fox - Happy Birthday 

A Gem of A Challenge - Pink, Pink, Pink and gems (the tape and the gems are pink!)

 I know this is a really quick post for me but I really need to try to get rid of this cold! I hope you like my creation and I hope to see you again soon :)

Graffiti Party…

Good morning! well I hope your as excited as I am!! I have to say I still think I'm dreaming about being a part of the MIC Facebook Team!! Anyway I'm here today with something even more exciting…. I know I thought things couldn't get more exciting…. SO 

Let the Party Begin!

It’s time to get your baggy jeans on, grab your ghetto blaster and hang out with the gals from 

Little Miss Muffet Stamps and Make it Crafty.

You may have seen the Urban Elements from Make it Crafty previously but now it’s time to bring you 

some super cool Graffiti to adorn those brick walls and some baggy jean characters to stand around 

looking cool n stuff…

So let me start by sharing with you a couple of my creations :) 

First up we have Urban Nico mixed up with some Urban Elements and some fantastic 

graffiti from LMMS

I decided that I would use lots of layers on this card - I always struggle with male cards - never really know what to put on them!  I made him a 6x6 card, the arrows and 'Dude' were all cut on my cameo.

I just LOVE the graffiti from LMMS - never really thought about colouring it ever - but I have had so much fun!! all the highlights were added in using a white pen. 

The image was coloured with copics

So I didn't stop at one creation for this release…..

When I first saw the Graffiti I worried about how I was going to colour it and so I printed it quite large to practice colouring, I was so impressed with how it turned out I had to use it for the release!!  So for this card I decided to die cut a hole in the front of the card blank and stick the graffiti on the inside

I have used the gorgeous Urban Courtney with some Urban Elements and some more gorgeous graffiti from LMMS.  Heres a close up - the image was hand cut and stuck on the front along with the brickwork

The images were coloured with copics

Cheeky Little Dracula ;)

Good Morning! ohhh what a week it has been, so strange finally having Miss N at nursery for 18 whole hours a week - yes I means I have had to do some of the dreaded H word!! Although Im not doing much of it at the moment as we are having the re-wire finished :)

Any way I'm here today with a post for the Make it Crafty Facebook Page - if your already a member you would have seen the $1 digi deal - yep thats right - the wonderful Zoe has one of the amazing digs for just $1 for the whole of September!! You need to be a member of the Make it Crafty Facebook page to get the code - so what are you waiting for - get over and join us!!!

So now I hear you asking what one could it be?!?. 

Please allow me to introduce to you 

Mini Dracula 

Isn't he just the cutest…. just that little face I can see him laughing behind his cloak! I know he's not meant to be - to is he?!?  

Now I have also (tried to) inspire you for the current Make it Colourful Challenge - the easy challenge is to use Orange and Black and the hard side is the sky - I think I will leave the sky to the professionals :)

 The papers I have used are from a pack of Stampin Up 12x12 that I have - it is a wonderful paper pack - everything (as normal with most paper pads) coordinates so well!  I used a new technique I learnt from a fellow crafter - the black splats are created using embossing powder - Rather than putting anything down (ink pad or otherwise) to hold it I sprinkled it on and heated it from the back - and BAM! Yep looks pretty cool - can't wait to use the technique more and more! 

The image was coloured with copics

I think I went a little OTT with the highlighting pen…. yes its becoming a new love of mine, its always on the desk next to me - all in all I think he is pretty cool!! I hope you like him too!  

Now I really hope that I may have inspired you to join us over at the Make it Crafty Facebook page - I have said it before but its a fab bunch of people AND its the only way to grab the code to get this little guy for just $1!

If you have a moment I would love it if you would let me know what you think!
