Summer Splash

I bought this stamp set knowing that I had to use it for my eldest son's birthday as he is a keen surfer . Well he is 17 tomorrow and has his first driving lesson booked for 10.30 am !! Keen ... Anyway back to the card - I stamped the surf boards with Whisper white craft ink and embossed them using stampin white embossing powder . They really stand out against the Marina Mist card stock . I roughly tore some crumb cake card and mounted an extra surf board to give it a 3D effect . I hope he likes it !!

mojo200 winter post

I am in christmas card mode !! I have a workshop tonight and the girls have requested cristmas cards , so when I took a look at the Mojo Monday blogspot I thought I would keep with the theme of Christmas ! I am so determined to have all my christmas cards made early this year so I have organized a christmas card club . If you are interseted please email me and I will let you know the details . I have used the Winter post stamp set and the wording is from the Level 3 hostess set Occassional Quotes .

motorcycle birthday card

I have actually made a few cards using this stamp set as I will be needing them for a few male birthdays coming up .I consulted the Colour Coach ( available in the catalogue page 81 ) as I find it difficult to come up with nice colour schemes for men . This colour combination is Cherry cobbler , Basic Black , Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla . Now I would never have thought of putting these colours together but I love it ! I used a little of the DSP in Cherry Cobbler to give it a wee lift . I have used the Modern label punch for the sentiment which is out of the Level 3 hostess set Occassional Quotes . I hope you like the simplicity as much as I do !

I'm Back !!

I am so sorry to have neglected my blog for so long but my poor dad died at the end of february and it has been hard as we had to sort out his house and everything that goes with that . It is not a case that I have not been making cards as a few of us Northern Irish demonstrators took a stand at the Kings Hall in Belfast at the Creative Stitch and craft show and we had samples to make for that . I have been merely coping with the necessary ! Now we are preparing for another Experience event on the 11th June so again the samples are being made . This photo shows the congratulations cards that I made for the winners of the prize draw on the stand . I hope the 3 ladies were pleased to have each won the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set !

Sweet summer thank you card

This is a simple thank you card using a lovely little stamp in the Sale - a - bration set Sweet Summer . I used co - ordinating buttons and ribbon in Marina mist and used Certainly Celery DSP and card to co-ordinate with the ink used in the image . I used the Word Window punch to add a little detail . The wording is from the Thank You Kindly stamp set .

Birthday Wishes

I have stuck with the Sunny garden DSP , as I thought it went well with the flower theme of my Mojo Monday card . I used the Boho Blossoms punch for the flowers and the bird punch for the leaves . The Birthday wishes is from Sincere Salutations .

Cottage Garden

This is my interpretation of this week's Mojo Monday . I decided to use the Cottage Garden stamp set with the Sunny Garden DSP .I enjoy doing a card challenge as it allows me to concentrate on colour rather than the arrangement .
