Adorable Daisy....

Hello Everyone, I am getting rather late with my posts lately, must get more organised! Thank you for all the lovely comments you have been leaving me recently, it really makes my day to read them all.
I have a card o share with you today which I made using my all time favourite Squiggle Stamp 'Daisy with Balloon'. Daisy is so adorable and I love colouring her in bright colours. To make the card, I cut a card base using my Nestabilities and layered up some Echo Park papers and yellow card and sewed around the edges.

I printed and coloured in Daisy using my Promarkers, cut her out and then added her to the card with foam pads. I finished with a bow topped with a button and a printed sentiment which I finished with a gem.
I hope you all have a lovely evening, I am finally headache free so I will be card making this evening :-)

Out of this world

After my little green Alien card on Monday, I have another card to share with you today with some more little Critters. These are called 'Monster Mash' are from Squiggle Stamps and they are perfect for boys cards.

I used the digital version of 'Monster Mash' and printed the Monsters out so I could cut each one in to a little square with my Nesties. I think these papers are My Mind's Eye but I am not 100% sure. I did a little sewing and then mounted the coloured images to the card in a grid with an additional blank square for my Dymo label sentiment. The little resin shape is on an unknown source and was very handily lurking in a plastic box on my shelf!
I hope you have a good Wednesday.

Playing with my new stamps!

I was extremely lucky to be picked as the winner of the last Squiggle Stamps blog challenge with my glittery card and was able to choose lots of lovely stamps as my prize. I was so excited as I never win blog challenges! I received my package of lovely rubber stamps very quickly and also chose a couple of digi images too, including the one I have used in this card.

I LOVE this image, it was such a delight to colour and I had lots of fun matching my colours to these gorgeous Basic Grey papers. I am wondering what I am going to do after Christmas as I feel I have been making Christmas cards forever, I think I am addicted. I die cut a snowflake which I doused in lots of glitter to use as a base for my greeting which is tied with Ribbon Girl twine.
I am entering this card into this month's Challenge which is for a guest DT slot.

I have now officially finished my Christmas shopping. Most was completed online this year and I popped to Marks with my Hubby for a couple of hours today to get the last few bits. There are a few bits to wrap and the tree still to put up but it is finally beginning to 'look a bit like Christmas' in the Millard household!

The Sweetest Birthday ever!

I don't often do very pink and girly but I have a card to share with you today which most definitely is. I didn't even sit at my Craft desk yesterday as I was exhausted when I got home. We had takeaway Pizza and I just collapsed on the sofa! At this rate, I am not going to make it to any of my planned crafty places in London!

I made this card a little while ago and I don't think I have shown it yet. I used a fabulous image from Squiggle Stamps, Daisy with her Balloon which is available here.
I combined her in a simple layout with a sentiment stamp from a set I bought last year at Alexandra Palace. The papers were from my scrap box and the button is ancient! I just adore little Daisy and I loved matching all the patterns and papers to make this card!
I hope you are all having a good week...

Delightful Daisy!

I recently discovered Squiggles stamps and I have fallen totally head over heels for Daisy! She is just adorable and she is wearing the cutest little dress and boots while flying her balloon.

I added her to this card which I made for June's Squiggles and Giggles blog challenge. The theme is 'Birthday best' and as Daisy is wearing her best Birthday dress, I thought she would be perfect! Daisy looked to me that she like she would be at home in a lovely sunny grassy green field to fly her balloon so I created a scene for her using Pink Paislee papers.
I coloured Daisy with Promarkers and cut her out very carefully leaving a very narrow border. I added glossy accents to her balloon and gave her lovely shiny green wellies too. I stitched around all the elements of the scene adding a spotty ribbon to draw attention to the stamped Hero Arts sentiment.
As a finishing touch, I added a couple of flowers and some coordinating gems.
I hope you have a lovely Saturday!
