Happy Birthday to you happy birthday to you.....

Hi all! 

 

My card for My Mums Craft Shop Challenges had to be inspired by a song.

 

 So  this one we know very very well....Suitable for literally anyone!

I have been laid low by bad case of flu for over a week and this was all that my poor addled brain would let me come up with!  But hey it is a song and the card is cute!

 

I used a gorgeous Magnolia stamp and i was lucky enough to be given the doily by a friend.  I love the muted pastel colours and the lovely bow and ribbon embellishment as i didnt want to over crowd the card. I hand wrote the sentiment  in a pale blue gel pen.

 

I had a great tip the other week for taking photos and i think this week the photo has turned out quite well if i do say so myself!

 

Well thats all today as i am still not 100% but i will have quite a few cards lined up for you over the next few weks as i did manage to colour quite a few images when ill.

 

As always papers were from My Mums Craft Shop

 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Sentiment Only Card

 

 

Hi there and this week we had  to do a sentiment only card and i chose to do a  christmas card.

 

 

This week i made a card primarily using Hunky Dory cardstock snowflake, red adorable scorable and Holly mirricard.  I hand wrote a sentiment and sprayed it with iridescent glitter spray.

 

I then added a length of sequin ribbon and a bow made from the same ribbon to the card.

I added a  Spellbinders snowflake die cut  in gold glitter stick on paper and finished off with a lovely decorative stick pin.

 

I hope you like my card this week.

 

I would like to enter into the following challenges:

 

 

 



Betty's hop any Betty digi image

 

 

Betty's Hop Any Betty Image

I have taken a break from making christmas cards and decided to make this lovely card!

Ist a lovely  Simply Betty Stamps  digi called Movie Gala Betty

 

 

 

In case you havent noticed i am terrible at taking photos and they dont do this card justice by half!

This one was really simple i coloured the image in with copics and distressed with Tim Holtz inks called Dried Marigold and Tea Dye.

 

I decided to make the card by only using papers from one paper pad!
 

Which was first Editions New Leaf..... i stuck the striped background to the card blank ad then angled the next two layers so they were angled like how you would hold playing cards.
 

I then added my dgi image and used a Memory Box die called Rieviera Corner and a bit of orange cordinations card from the school days car pack to embellish. 
 

I still wasnt quite happy with it so i added three white feathers, two sprays of ribbon in cream and peach and then finished off with Kaisercraft sparklets in daffodil....

So you can see from the blog list below that you should have seen all the other girlies first!
I hope you are enjoying your hop!

If not start at the beginning with Betty and work your way through!

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all - well this has been a long time coming and its finally here - Now as you know there are a number of us around blogland that LOVE Simply B Stamps - but here in the UK Halloween is not something many people get into - so we have decided to do a special hop for the one and only Betty to show her that over here we are trying!!!

So welcome to the hop! 

So glad your here!! Now if you have come from Katrina http://flutterbytrina.blogspot.co.uk  your on the right tracks - if not you need to pop back to Corinne's blog and start from the beginning!!
 

So i used papers from Glitz - Pretty in pink paper pad and cArt US Stylish paper pad. I loved the purples black ad greens as they went really well with my Simply Betty Stamps image Little Munster Lady. I then distressed the outer part of the image with cnady eyed chalks.

I then finished off the image with a little bit of black lace and four cobweb charms placed at the corners....i have to admit i dont enjoy doing halloween cards as inver have much crafty stuff covering halloween in thefirst place and i have to scummage about for bits and pieces.

I had a lot of fun making these believe me!

So the colours i used on these two were:

Betty: Dress BV 23,25,29
Hair C5,7,8

Rose R17,85
Christian: Suit V20,22,25

Boo!

Challenge 81 So Spooky

 

for My Mums Craft Shop Challenges

 



Not sure why i called this card Boo other than the fact it is halloween based and i have to admit to me she isnt overly scary!

Any way today i have this lovely little card that i made....well actually two versions as i couldnt make up my mind which one i prefered!

 

So i used papers  from Glitz - Pretty in pink paper pad and cArt US Stylish paper pad.  I loved the purples black ad greens as they went really well with my Simply Betty Stamps image Little Munster Lady. I then distressed the outer part of the image with cnady eyed chalks.

 

I then finished off the image with a little bit of black lace and four cobweb charms  placed at the corners....i have to admit i dont enjoy doing halloween cards as inver have much crafty stuff covering halloween in thefirst place and i have to scummage about for bits and pieces.

I am lucky to be able to buy lots of lace and ribbons from Hansons in Sturminster Newton and they have a wide selection of stuff ideal for crafting with.

 

All the papers and card blanks were bought from and are available from My Mums Craft shop

 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
