Triple Stamping - Male Card

Sue Wilson card pack, Inky Doodles stamps, Phill Martin's Vintage Oak Spritzer and Little Claire Greeting used in this triple stamp card.

April Card Swaps

The themes for the two card swaps I am taking part in this month are "Watch the Birdie" and "Smile".  Both made me think of taking pictures of birds.  I came up with the following design which was to include a camera embellishment, but it made the card look unbalanced, so I added the word smile instead.  I made one card for each swap and one to keep - tough decision - as each one was layered up differently.

April 17th - Maria Simms Workshop

Here are my finished cards and wall hanging from the workshop that Maria ran.

First Project - Had to add a greeting of my choice when I returned home. 

 

Second Project - Played with grunge paste and gold leaf.

Made the topper and choice was ours to make a walling hanging or a card.

 

 

Project 3 - This was Maria's card (lilac) that she allowed people to take a picture of so they could finish their cards when they got home - mine in the orange one.

 

 

Project 4 - stamping and embossing in black and colouring in with spectrum noir pencils.  I don't have these pencils, however I have some metallic pencils so used  those instead.  Again, first card is hers, which we were allowed to take a picture of, so we had something to work towards when we got home.  Fortunately, I had the same stamp at home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catch Up

Cards I have made but never got put in a posting on this blog - Sue Wilson calls them Orphans.

Male Birthday Cards

 

Backing paper from a 12 x 12 sheet I got in a Craft shop closing down sale.  The stamped image is a wooden block stamp I got in a job lot of wooden stamps recently on ebay.

 

 

The eagle stamp is a wooden block stamp I got in a job lot off ebay.  The Happy Birthday greeting is a Little Claire Stamp, the cabin by the lake is a scene made up using StampScapes stamps.  Feathers are a freebie stamps that came with a magazine (this year).  Backing paper from Craft Creations.

March Swap Card

The theme was Spring Flowers and made the card at the same time as the card in the previous Female Birthday post - see if you can spot the difference.

Mother's Day Card and Present

 

Picture frame got from the charity shop - each of the pictures that were created have a special meaning, connection with Mum.  Most of the stamps used are from Little Claire.  Bottles were a freebie from Craft Stamper and the apple on books was an old wooden stamp in my stash.

Lovely Day stamp was a freebie from Craft Stamper, the silhoutte stamp is from Little Claire.
