MMCSDT - Whale Done!

Hello Everyone! I have a card to share with you which I made using the 'Whale Hello' stamp set from Avery Elle which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop.

I created a little scene for my Whale to dive around in using paper from the Carta Bella 'It's a boy papers'. I used a scalloped square die to create the waves which I then inked with some distress ink.

I coloured my image using Promarkers and then added him to my card using foam pads. I finished with a sentiment from the set and a bow and some wooden stars from my stash. This will be my last blog post for a few weeks as I am going in to hospital on Friday to have an operation on my hand.
I hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

MMCSDT - Happy Wishes!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a good day. I apologise for the lateness of my post today. I have a card to share with you today which I made using the WPlus 9 Happy Wishes stamp set which is available here from My Mum's Craft shop.

I used pink and lilac inks to layer up the flower stamps to create a pretty birthday day and also used a sentiment from the set to stamp in to the centre of the card then stamped the flowers and leaves around. I love how versatile the stamp set is and it looks so different if you stamp it in different colours.

I love this style of stamping and how the pattern builds up really quickly to create really pretty backgrounds. I layered the finished piece on to purple patterned paper and to pink card before adding it to the card base. I hope you have a lovely evening.

MMCSDT - Love you bots

 Hello Everyone! I hope you had a good Weekend and a good start to the week. I am back today with my DT card for My Mum's Craft shop and I have another 'Love' themed card to share with you.
I used the Paper Smooches Boom Bots stamp set on my card and had a bit of fun experimenting with Watercolour backgrounds.

I used some precut postcards from Paperchase to create my background on using Distress inks. I smeared some Tumbled glass ink straight from the pad on to a non stick craft sheet and picked it up with a wet brush before painting it randomly on to the card. I actually used my Cosmic Shimmer brush so the painted effect has a slight shimmer to it and some darker accents.

I stamped the adorable robot on to white card and coloured him in using Promarkers before cutting him out and adding him to the card with foam pads and then stamped some hearts and cogs from the set.

I added a sentiment and then mounted the finished panel on to a kraft card. I will definitely be experimenting with watercolour backgrounds again as I love the finished effect. I hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

MMCSDT - Love is in the air!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a lovely Weekend and a good start to the week so far. I have been really busy these past couple of weeks doing work on my kitchen. We have tiled, painted, changed handles on cupboards, sanded worktops and it is nearly done. Hopefully I will have a little more time for crafting again soon. In the meantime, I am sharing the card I made for my lovely Boyfriend for Valentine's day using the Stamping Bella close up - In Love stamp from My Mum's Craft shop. It is currently out of stock at the moment but there are lots of other equally gorgeous Stamping Bella stamps available here.

I used some very pretty Carta Bella papers from my stash for the card and layered the centre panel on to red card before adding some stitching. I used some hemp ribbon to wrap the panel before adding lots of pretty embellishements and a sentiment from Hero Arts.

Here is a little close up of the image. I love all he details, Stamping Bella images are really so lovely to colour in! I hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

MMCSDT: Happy Birthday to Ewe!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and had a good start to the week. I have a card to share with you today which I made for my Boyfriend's Birthday using the 'Ewe are the best' stamp set from My Favourite things which is available here from My Mum's Craft shop.

I paper pieced the little hilltop using some papers from my stash and then stamped the little sheep on the scene before stamping him again on to white card and colouring him in with Promarkers. 

I then cut out all the pieces and added them to card framing the little scene with black card. I added some narrow gingham ribbon and a heart button as a finishing touch and a couple of little green pearls. I hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

MMCSDT - Love is in the air!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well. I rediscovered an old Friend today for my DT card for My Mum's Craft Shop. I have always been a big fan of the My Favourite things 'Pure Innocence' range and used the adorable 'I heart you' stamp on my card this week. It is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I teamed the image with My Favourite things Painted Prints Smitten papers.

 I coloured the image and paper pieced the skirt, then cut it out leaving a small border before adding it to the card. The layout is very simple and I added a sentiment from the stamp set.

The Pure Innocence images are so adorable and I love colouring them in, I gave this one red shoes as everyone should have at least one paiir of red shoes! To finish my card, I added some red heart buttons and a gems and a tiny paper flower. I hope you have a lovely Tuesday!
