Birthday Marci

Here's a birthday card made with the 'Fancy Marci' stamp from La La Land Crafts.  I've used a base card from Craftwork Cards (decorated with punched dots) and paper from Kanban.  The plain and polka dot paper is on the same sheet so the colour matches perfectly.  To finish the card, I've added some white sheer ribbon and a sentiment circle from Craftwork Cards.

A Little Bit of Summer ....

This is my first blog post for a little while - I've been away for a break in Scotland and then the Lake District so haven't made any cards for a little while.  It was sunny and very warm in both places - a bit too hot for me when we were in the Lake District!  Thankfully it's much cooler back here at home and I suspect it's going to rain very soon!  So I've been crafting today and here's another card made with one of the very cute stamps from the Lily at the Beach set from Pink Cat Studio.  I've used it with some paper from Pink Petticoat and a summer definite stamp from Debbi Moore.  I finished the card with some Card Candy.

Oh Christmas Tree

This is my final Christmas card for a few days - promise!  This one is a Red Gingham stamp called 'Oh Christmas Tree' which again is available from Little Claire Designs.  For my first card I used blue snowflake paper from Craft Creations and some pale blue card and ribbon.  The sentiment is from the Red Gingham Christmas sentiments pack.

This second card is the same stamp but in a red and green colour scheme.  The paper is Craft Creations and the sentiment from the Red Gingham set as before.  The base card is from Craftwork Cards.

The Robin and the Ivy

I'm still Christmas crafting!  The two cards in this post were made using a new Red Gingham Designs stamp from Little Claire called 'The Robin and the Ivy' - another cute stamp!  My first card is a very simple one using some Craft Creations paper and one of the sentiments from the Red Gingham set with some red card.  I've also used a scalloped card blank from Craftwork Cards.

For this second card, I used some Craft Creations green gingham paper.  The stamped image was die cut and then I cut a mat out of the next size up and put it on the base card so the top portion shows about the main cards.  The sentiment is from the same set as before.
