Some CAS Pandamonium cards

Hello Everyone! It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today and I am showing something a little bit different for me. I have fallen in love with Mama Elephant stamps recently and have been experimenting with making some clean and simple cards for a bit of a change. They are so quick to make and I love the fact that they use up a lot of my scraps and leftover papers.

I used some good quality Papermania card bases that are a bit textured as I wanted to leave quite a bit of white space on the first one. I used a Dienamics snowdrift die to cut the blue card for the hills and stamped a sentiment from the Pandamonium set straight on to the card. I stamped the kissing pandas onto white card and cut them out before adding them to the card with foam pads. I then stamped a heart onto aqua card and cut it out. I added it to the card and then embellished it with glitter glue.

I used a scrap of My Mind's Eye paper for my second card. I stamped the Panda and the lantern onto white card and then die cut it using a stitched circle before I coloured the lantern with alcohol markers and added glitter glue. I then simply stamped the sentiment onto a strip of card and put it all together.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

MMCS DT - A Hobby House cutie for Birthdays week

Hello Everyone! I can't believe it's been a week since I posted on my blog. I have been very busy lately and have not had much time for crafting or blogging. It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today and our theme this week is 'Birthdays'. I have made a birthday card for a little boy using one of the adorable 'It's a boy' Hobby House toppers available here from My Mum's Craft shop.

I used papers from the Carta Bella 'Baby Mine' pad and from the Echo Park 'Getaway' pad. I added a sentiment from a Tiddlyinks set and some candy dots embellishments . I also added a bow topped with a button, some wooden stars and finished with some stick on pearls.

Here is a close up of the lovely image which I layered on to a doily die cut from blue paper before adding it to the card. I will be back very soon with my Ribbon Girl DT card.

I {heart} Chester

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good Weekend. Did you watch Eurovision last night? I did and I really enjoyed it. I love the winning song and it was a great show! It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today and I have made a card using the fabulous 'I heart Chester' who is available here. I coloured him in using alcohol markers and die cut him into a circle using a Dienamics die.

I used papers from the Authentique 'Smitten pad' and a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Scripty Sayings set. I added some ric rac, a brad and some paper flowers from my stash and finished with some stick on gems. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

A little bit of altered art

Hello! I have something a little bit different for you today. I actually made this a little while ago and have only just got round to photographing it. I made a little piece of Altered art using a box frame I picked up in the pound shop. I added a drawer pull handle to the top of it and some pearls to the base for it to stand on.

I decorated the inside with My Mind's Eye papers which were stamped with various script stamps and then added a small stamped canvas, a birdcage which I embossed with frantage embossing powder (how addictive is Frantage!!! I love it!). I also added a cameo, paper flowers,  a little frame and some wooden heart buttons.

I used one of the heart buttons to make a wing for the little bird. I also added some vintage lace and some other bits and bobs from my stash. All the items I have linked above are from The Ribbon Girl. I loved making this, I wish I had more time to spend on more complex projects like this as it was so much fun! I now have it on display on my landing at home.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your Friday and have a lovely Weekend.

MMCSDT - A Tiddlinks boy card for Character's week

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a lovely Weekend. It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today. Our theme this week is 'Characters' so we will be sharing projects featuring some of our favourite Character stamps. I have always had a soft spot for Tiddlyinks stamps and have a lot of them in my stamps collection but don't ink them up enough! I have used the stamps from the 'My Boys' set on my card today and coloured the image in with my Promarkers to match the Bazzill basics from the Adventures pack.

My new sewing machine arrived this week so I used it for the first time to sew on this card. My sewing was a bit wonky so I went round the image frame twice. I got the hang of it better when I sewed along the edges of the sentiment strip.

Here is a close up of my coloured image. I used a mix of alcohol markers and then cut out the image leaving a small border before adding it to my card. I used the sketch from yesterday's Sketch Saturday Challenge.

 I am still trying to join in with more Challenges and Sketch Saturday is one of my favourites! Have a lovely Sunday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT for the May challenge - Lots of layers

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good week so far. It's time for a brand new Challenge on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today. Our theme this month is 'Lots of layers' which was a little bit of a challenge for me as I am enjoying making Clean and Simple cards more and more lately!

My sewing machine has broken so I was unable to do any sewing to my layers on this card. I used papers from the Carta Bella 'Baby Mine Boy' pad which is available here. The image I have used is 'Fluffy Bear Balloon' which is available here. I coloured him in using Graph'it Markers and added him to the card using foam pads.

The sentiment I have used is by Lawn Fawn and is part of this set. I coloured my image using lots of little dots to make the teddy look furry. It is the first time I have tried this and i think I need to practice a bit more! I hope you will able to join us for our latest Challenge for the chance to win a voucher to spend at My Mum's Craft Shop. Enjoy the rest of your week!
