Cheers! Brown leather look card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Just in case you missed my other blog post - I've been setting up an Instagram account for my cards so it's nice and easy to see all my cards in one place now rather than scrolling through my blog! I love it and I hope you will too, if you want to follow me on Instagram please, please do! Click HERE to be taken to my gallery. You don't need to have an account to see my gallery (I don't think, I'm still new to Instagram myself hehe). I've added over 100 cards already, I'm going through all my photos and just choosing my favourite cards over the past 8 years, I'm only up to 2014! 


Ok, so now onto my last card for today and I've created a really masculine card. I used an old Bobunny paper for this. I cut each section, added some foam tape behind each one and added them to a black cardstock. It's so hard to describe the best way to do this and that's when I really wish I had a Youtube channel! I heat embossed the Cheers sentiment.

Make your own magic unicorn card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi crafty friends,

I just love unicorns and these unicorns from The Greeting Farm are just some of the sweetest going around I think. I coloured it with my Copics using pink shades then just added a little Y11 for the hair highlights and on the body and I feel like it looks like it has a bit of a glow, I wish I had added some yellow "sun" somewhere in the clouds, I think that would've looked great. Next time hey hehe? I used the lovely Lawn Fawn stitched cloud borders and I think the plaid paper is also Lawn Fawn. I added some silver stars that I've had in my stash for about 10 years lol, I'm happy I was able to use them on this card.

Purple Easter Girl card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi crafty friends,

Happy Easter for this weekend everyone! This card's dedicated to all my lovely followers.

I coloured up a beautiful girl from Saturated Canary, sadly it's no longer available but if you like Krista's images you can find some at Make it Crafty.

I dotted white Nuvo drops onto one set of background dots then while it was still wet I added purple glitter. Once they were completely dry I added more white Nuvo drops to another set of the background dots but left the white. I forgot to sweep off the extra glitter before taking this photo, oops lol!

A female 70th Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card of the day is one surprisingly without an image! I created this card for my mother-in-law's 70th Birthday. I wanted her to know I care by making a card completely from scratch - the background I made with a stencil, heat embossing and distress oxide inks. The clock was heat embossed (I didn't even know I had a clock stamp this big until I went hunting around in my stamp boxes!) Most of the rest is using punches and die cuts and the gorgeous flourish is from my company, Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
