You’re Dino-mite!

Morning Dear Reader, hoping that you are well? I have everything crossed that we’ll have nice weather at the weekend as we are hoping to be able to go for a picnic.

A few weeks ago i was playing about with shrink plastic, and recently i made them into cards;  here’s one of them;

 

{shrink plastic, stamps Lawn Fawn coloured with pencils}

I coloured them with pencils before i shrank them, you have to remember that they get darker as they get smaller so you colour them lightly you can add in a little shading and then when they shrink they become a deeper colour.

I mounted them with glue dots on a square mount then a dark brown square base nice and simple.  I thought that this would be a slightly more masculine card that you give give the man in your life to tell them you love them.

That’s it from me today, until next time

Bright Birthday

Morning Dear Reader, i hope that you are well, today i am sharing a card with you that with a few changes could be used for many people and occasions.

{stamps and papers are Lawn Fawn i got mine at Sprinkle Twinkle}

This card is a great way to use up scraps its 1inch strips popped on a square base with a flag sentiment, by changing the papers or the sentiment you could make a batch up very quickly and always have some to hand i tend to do the back grounds and just add the sentiments as i need the cards this one i added using a stapler. I am trying to use up scraps of patterned paper as i go instead of tossing them in a box to gather dust as i invariably forget about them so when i tidy up i try to use up the scraps on a project straight way.

That’s it from me today, until next time

Celebrate…

Hello Dear Reader, thank goodness its Friday! This week has seemed really long for no particular reason and i am looking forward to the weekend i have plans to pop to my friends for an hour or two for some crafting on Saturday and a nice lazy Sunday.

So today i am sharing a card with you that i made a few weeks ago i thought that it would be suitable for a man as well as a woman.

{all supplies for this card from SU}

Fairly simple card using the stamp set to make a background  then a strip with the focal point.  I made the balloons with a small circle punch and the strings were hand drawn with a pencil.

Well that’s it from me today, i hope that you liked my card

Until next time

Cycle flip…..

Hello Dear Reader, i hope that you are well? I organised and taught a class to my local crop last meeting, its fun to share ideas {they are not a money making exercise and the ladies just pay for the materials}we have a lot of fun, and laughs.  At one point in the morning i asked someone to pass the hillock stamp which some one miss heard a pillock so the rest of the day the ground stamp was known as the pillock! :)
This card is a flip card made using a nifty die that means that you don’t need to do a lot of juggling with your plates and dies and washi tape!

Very simple a little of 2 step stamping made simple as this is a clear stamp, and an embossed layer for the back to add interest and texture.  The circle flips to show your sentiment, mine doesn’t have one yet as not sure what this will be needed for so when i use it i will add the sentiment i need but at least the bulk of my card is done; great for last minute cards!

That’s it from me today
Until next time
