Have a Magical Day (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Aww, isn't this little magician just so sweet? I turned my card into a triangular type shape by just shaving about 3cm off each top side, it's very easy but I like how this shape turns out for something a bit different. I added some Glossy Accents to the magic ball he's holding and the stars but it's hard to tell in the photo. You can find this sweet boy at Little Miss Muffet. The sentiment is from one of Lawn Fawn's fairy stamp sets.

A Summer Smile girly card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second Tiddly Inks card for tonight. I also used a background image from elsewhere that I don't think sell images any longer. If anyone's interested in it please contact me and I'll check if it is still available. I used PNG images rather than JPEGs so that I could overlap them. The lovely plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn. I die cut some clouds from glitter foam to add to the card and faux stitched the red border.

Love Sunnies Summer Girl card (Lemon Shortbread image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been a bit busy redecorating my home at the moment and school holidays so I haven't had a chance to post my freshly created cards on my blog until now (sitting on my lovely new chaise with my luxuriously warm and cosy blanket). I always seem to find some time to create though.

This gorgeous image comes from Lemon Shortbread and I used some glossy accents on her sunglasses, lips and the hearts. I sparkled her top with some Wink of Stella and doodled some faux red stitching around the image to finish it off. The plaid papers are from Lawn Fawn.
