Puppy Boy

For today's card I have made a boys card, this was for my brother and I'm positive he had a top like this when he was growing up!!

This image is from Some Odd Girl digi stamp called Puppy Tobie. I coloured the image with my Spectrum Noir pens.

The sentiment is from the Sweet July stamp set this set is still available and has so many awesome sayings on it, a must have!!

Birthday Pinwheel

Today I am bring you the post over at Getting Cricky and today I have made a pinwheel card

I have used the K Andrew Designs stamp set Sweet July that is still available in the store HERE 

Have a Crafty Weekend, Cheers Jennie

Coffee Scraps

Today I am doing the post at Getting Cricky
Recently I made this card using my box of scraps in rainbow colours, that I then scalloped punched. 

This then left more scraps from the other end, and I hate throwing out something that could be used, so I then decided to see what I could do with them. 

So I cut the base of this coffee cup from the Cricut cart Love U a Latte, I then used the off cuts from the card above to layer on to the cup base. 

I had enough left that I them made this one as well 

So lots of scraps used up and 3 cards from the them. 

I used the stamp sets Coffee & Treats Tag-along as well as Sweet July. Both of these stamp sets are still available in the store HERE 

Have a Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie

Super Scraps

It is Super Scraps Saturday at Hiding in My Craft Room today and I have made a truly scrappy card for you today.

Recently I was making packs of cards as Christmas presents for the teachers  and others that I needed them for and my desk was covered in scraps of paper that I have used to make these cards. I needed 2 more cards to finis off the packs so I decided you use what I already had out. 

This is the result

And I am sorry to say that I don't really know what papers they are, but I'm sure they are a mix of American crafts,  My Minds Eye and Kaisercraft

This sentiment is also from Kaisercaft rub-ons, I have had these for ages and I am trying to us these up. The Star stamp is from the K Andrew Designs stamp set Sweet July.

Your turn to show us your scraps and join the Challenge at Hiding in My Craft Room Challenge #80

Have a Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie

Limited Layers

This weeks challenge at Hiding In My Craft Room is Limited Layers, That is 2 layers only!!! This was a hard one for me as I love to layer up my cards. I decided that the best idea is to try a guys card for this theme as they prefer card with limited fuss!!

This card came together so quickly when I worked out what I was doing. The hot air balloons are from Hampton Art, and the background paper is from My Minds Eye spots and dots. 

The twine and stamp sets are from K Andrew Designs and the sets are Guy Talk & Sweet July 

So come and join the limited layers challenge at Hiding In My Craft Room

The images are all from Tiddly Inks 

I have used the K Andrew Designs stamp set SWEET JULY for all but one sentiment the other is from SPLASH-TASTIC SUMMER

The paper is a really old paper, that I have had forever, I really love the summer feel it has

The "shine on" is from Splash-tastic Summer

This is Summer Sweet Wren and all the images were coloured using water colour pencils and a blending pen

Masculine Card

Today is another a new Challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room and this challenge is a Masculine challenge...I know these are the hardest kind of cards to make!!! I think it's because we like to make pretty things, or at least I know I do!!

So for this card I have used a saying as the title and this gave me a great base for the card.

Then I have used Cricut George and Basic Shapes for the oval-ish shape. All the papers are from Kaisercraft, The title was covered with Kindy glitz to give the black a little something!! 

The black "buttons" were from a button pack I brought at spotlight, they seem to have missed the button press and luckily they are just perfect for a man's card!! 

The Happy Birthday is from two sets of stamps from K Andrew Designs stamps sets Guy Talk and Sweet July Both sets have excellent sentiments on them and are wonderful for all year round not just Father's Day and July 4th and we all need "Guy"cards in our stashes!! 

So now it is your turn to get those masculine cards made and link up at Hiding in my Craft Room

Have a Very Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie
