A Birthday Giraffe (Doodle Dragon Studios image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've had this cute giraffe from Doodle Dragon Studios for a while now, I wanted to link their store but it's not available at the moment. I die cut the banner with chocolate and cream papers then substituted the brown stars with the cream stars so they sit perfectly within the die.

Super Dad Father's Day card (Kenny K sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my hubby for Father's Day from our kids, yes they should have made one themselves but I guess because it's my hobby they always leave it to me! I used a gorgeous sentiment stamp from Kenny K but I think they may have closed down now sadly. I used black cardstock and die cut some stars out of it and then glued in yellow and red stars so some are flat on the card and some are stuck on top of the black cardstock (if that makes sense hehe??) I coloured in the image and I printed it out in blue.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Thinking of you Girly Autumn card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Phew, if you just read my last post I made entering that card into the challenge I was trying to make with less than a minute to spare, that was close haha! 

So now when I thought I can relax my daughter's bugging me to use the computer so I'm still going to have to be quick! This gorgeous image is from The Greeting Farm, I'm not sure if she's available any more, it was a rubber set but they have more amazing stamp sets there, I have a few new ones coming and I'm super excited about it! 

I heat embossed some stitching and the sentiment, the stitching stamps are a Kaisercraft set. I die cut the tree out of kraft cardstock and then coloured some of it with Copics. The lovely bling is from Flourish with a Bling

Thank you card in my garden (Lala Land image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card to show you tonight is a fall inspired card using a Lala Land stamp. I actually coloured the image when I first started cardmaking but I never created with it. When I came across it in my stash I decided to colour over the top to see how my colouring had come along and how much it would change how it looked. I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a photo of the "before" colouring so you could see the difference. I added a little bird to her hat to match the "garden".
