Birthday Card - Circles

Birthday Card - Circles 

I had a card request for a 65th birthday card for someone who loves to see the birds come to his garden. I made one card but my husband said it was quite child like so I had to make another and this was the result:

I used stamps from Simply Cards and paper craft and coloured them with Copics. I used some paper from my stash that i think was Hobby craft. Then I used a circle die (which I sorted out on the weekend yay!) to cute the stamped images out and printed a sentiment through my IPad. I want to do more of this so if anyone knows of any apps I can use on the IPad and be able to print please let me know.

All Dressed up Birthday Card

All Dressed up Birthday Card 

Now that Royal Welsh Show is over and i'm up to date with orders and personal cards I have some time to make cards just for making cards sake!!! 

So I decided to make a card for the All Dressed up Facebook competition "Pearls/ & Or Gems" and I loved it so I thought i would enter it in the All Dressed up blog challenge too! 

The image was one I saw a few weeks ago and loved so knew I wanted to make a card with it. I coloured it with my copics and then added pearl drops. 

A few weeks ago I met a friend in town and she was heading to the haberdashery to give some of her old jewellery but after a conversation I ended up having it off her. In the box was some pearls and heart earrings so I added a few of these to it using a glue gun - which im not a fan of but it is the strongest glue!

Colours: Copic 

Papers: from stash - most likely the Works 

Pearls: from old jewellery

Polka Doodles - Drummer

Polka Doodles - Drummer 

My brother-in-law is a drummer in a band and so as I like to try and make my cards personal to that person I wanted a drummer or a drum kit. I did have an image in my head of a festival card but I couldn't quite get it onto paper! Then I came across Polka Doodles drummer in one of the work and play sets - perfect! I also now have more digi stamps to play with!

In the words of my husband - "you like those colour in thingys these days don't you" - That would be a digi stamp dear. Yes, he is right I do like my digi stamps at the moment - and one of my favourite suppliers is Lili of the valley. 

One of my recent makes is a birthday card for my manager. She likes her gardening so I chose the little mouse that comes with the Happy birthday pots stamp.
