A Little Birdie Told Me

I hope you are having a great day.  I am back with another bitrhday card to share with you from one of the fabulous Honkydory kits.  

I am loving this kit, it is so versatile and inspiring.  I have kept the layout flat-ish because I need to send it through the post and I do not want to incur additional charges.  All of the elements you can see in the card come from the kit, except the mirri and glitter cards and the ribbon.

I hope to see you again tomorrow.

A Pinch and A Punch

August, I wonder what this month will have in store?  Perhaps it will be a time to celebrate - or perhaps it will be a time for reflection.  Which ever it turns out to be here is a card to start the month with a bang.  

This image and backing paper come from an ancient Kanban Crafts kit, which I purchased from QVC way back in the Dawn Bibby days.  The papers in the set are some of the most stunning ones I have, very pretty designs printed on a variety of papers - different textures and thicknesses, and all printed with either gold or silver.  I got a little carried away with the Glossy Accents and highlighted all of the fizz exploding from the bottle.  The glitter card and sentiment came from ebay.

Wishing you a very happy August.

Pawsome Christmas

I have just managed to slip this post in under the wire to count as Christmas in July.  

This jocular little Scottie dog is from the Hunkydory kit Festive Fun in their Adorable Scorable range.  All of the elements for this card have come from the kit and I have kept the design as flat as possible as I intend to send it through the post.

If you have been taking part in the Christmas in July madness, I hope you had fun.

Up, Up and Away!

It's a busy day, so I am keeping this post short.

I have another card to share with you today using a Hunkydory Craft kit.  Everything you see, other than the silver mirri card, sentiment and Card Candy, come from this adorably sweet kit - sorry I cannot remeber what this kit is called.

Have a good weekend.

Have a Mooovelous Day

 It's very nearly to end of July, where do the months go?  Thank you from stopping by today, I love it when I get visitors, especially when you leave a comment to say hi.

My card today was from a rather sweet Hunkydory kit.  This kit is full of whimsical characters and cringeworthy sentiments, so adorable.  Apart from the gold card, pearls and birthday sentiment, everything else came from the kit.

I hope you have a simply mooovelous day.

Estate Vineyards

 I hope you are well?

I find it very hard to find suitable images for masculine cards.  However, these papers from Kanban Crafts hit the spot.  The papers and pre-coloured topper are from a very old set of papers bought years ago from QVC,  all I needed to add were some pearls, to define the corners, and Glossy Accents to give the glass a 'wet' look.

Make the most of the rest of the week.

Tournée du Chat Noir

Two similar cards today, both with a topper based on the poster Tournée du Chat Noir de Rodolphe Salis by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, I just love this spiky little cat.

I used elements from a very old Kanban Crafts kit to make these cards.  I have a great stash of these kits from QVC, which have just been stacked upstairs gathering dust since I moved on to using digi stamps and Promarkers.  However, with the demise of my old desktop PC, I have dug out some of these old kits and started to give them my own design twists.  The Card Candy, silver mirri and glitter card are from my crafty stash.

Have a good day.
