MY Mum's Craft Shop DT - Summer!!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoying this gorgeous Summery weather we have been having lately. Our theme this week on the My Mum's Craft shop blog is Summer. which is rather fitting! I must admit, when the themes were chosen I was expecting it would be raining and cold as usual! How wrong was I?

I have used some lovely Summery Echo Park papers on my card and a fun stamp by My Favourite things called 'Aloha' which is available here. I cut the beach and the sea using the Dienamics Snowdrift die and popped some green mesh under the sand bank, a paper flower, starfish charm and some stick on pearls around them. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using a die and layered onto others circles  to look a bit like a sun.

Here is a close up of my image which was coloured with Graph'it pens and Promarkers. I cut her out leaving a small border before adding her to the card with foam pads. I hope you have a lovely Sunday! I will be attending the Coronation Festival at Buckingham Palace today!

The Ribbon Girl and My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Pink with lots of bling

Hello Everyone! I have a joint post for you today. It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog but we are also starting a brand new Challenge on the Ribbon Girl blog today so I have combined both themes for my card. Our theme on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog is 'Add some bling' and the Ribbon Girl colour theme is 'Pinks'. I have used some gorgeous papers from My Mind's Eye on my card. These are from the 'Collectable Memorable' pad which has some fabulous designs in it. The sweet little girl stamp is My Favourite things - Doodle Garden 'Fluttering by' .

I have added lots of gorgeous flowers from The Ribbon Girl as well as some stick on gems and pearls and a beautiful saddle stitch ribbon which I tied in a large bow and topped with a beautiful daisy.

I coloured my image with a mix of Promarkers and Graph'it pens. I love these pens now and need lots more of them! I cut the image out leaving a small border before I added her to the card. I hope you will be able to join us for our Ribbon Girl Challenge. We have a great inspiration photo to get you started and there is lots of fabulous inspiration on the blog from the DT!

 

As usual we have two fabulous prizes for our lucky winner from Lili Of The Valley and Ribbon Girl

Enjoy the rest of your Weekend!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Spots and Stripes week

 Hello Everyone! I'm back! I can't believe I have not updated my blog for so long! We have spent the past couple of weeks working on our house and not everything went quite to plan at first so there was no time to craft. I am kicking off a 'Spots and Stripes' theme week today on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. We have finally started to see a little bit of Sun so I thought I would make a nice cheery card using some of the gorgeous new Echo Park papers from the Sweet Girl pad.

I used a spotty paper from the pad to layer some of the gorgeous flower paper onto and sewed around the edges. I used some stripey which I wrapped with a lovely springy yellow ribbon.

The stamp I have used is from My Favourite things and is called 'Party time' she is available here from My Mum's Craft shop. I coloured her in with my Promarkers and cut her out leaving a small border before adding her to the card with foam pads. I finished with a sentiment, some flowers from my stash and stick on pearls. I hope you have a lovely Weekend!
