Happy Birthday - Say it with Flowers

Good morning! 

Well I'm happy to say after our ice storms and inches of snow last week we have finally had a week on mainly sunshine!

Today starts the new Moodboard Challenge over at SumMore Fun and I love the color scheme for this one which you can see further down my post.

Here's how I have used the colors:

For the card I have used SumMore Fun's Flower Pot with Birdhouse. I colored the image with Markers and pencils sticking with the color theme but adding a pop of green for the leaves.

I decided to make a pocket card with a sentiment tag inside. I cut a 12x12inch piece of card in half and folded each half into 6x6inch card bases. I then cut a triangle from the front of both cards. Overlapping the backs I glued them together leaving 2 diagonal flaps. 

The grey and pink papers were chosen to go with my color theme and because they had patterns that compliment each other.

I matted the inside back of the card and the outside of the 2 flaps then using tape adhered the bottoms of the flaps making a pocket out of them.

I used a circle die to cut out my image and a mat in the grey paper. These were then fixed in place in the middle of the card. A Happy Birthday sentiment from Curly Cute Stamp set by Raisin Boat.

The tag was made using a Happy Birthday sheet die cut and attached to the pink paper. I punched a hole out of the top center and added a ribbon to pull the tag out with.

Vintage Bicycle

Good morning well after an icy weekend things are starting to warm up again not quite cycling weather but hey I thought I'd share a little vintage biking with you today with stamps from SumMore Fun:

I have used 2 stamps from the Victorine Original Bicycles with Penny Farthing set.

I started by inking a white piece of card to make it look older. Using the same color ink I used the text stamp and stamped this 4 times covering my card. I then used Kraft card and again with same ink I stamped the Penny Farthing and fussy cut it out. 

My card was assembled using dark brown card to mat my base. I then added my inked card.

 I used foam squares to adhere my penny farthing raising it from the card:

 I added some coordinating nuvo drops.Finally I die cut some words from the dark brown card - I thought they were appropriate because wow! would you ride a bike with a seat like that!!!

Bouquet for Spring

Good morning, After late snow this week we have finally reached spring - the flowers in the yard are starting to make their appearance and I've even had the doors open to let the sun in!

Today marks a new moodboard challenge over at SumMore Fun and we have some gorgeous blue hues with a floral theme this time round so I have created a bouquet of flowers using the color themes:

I have used SumMore Fun's Brush Floral Stamp Set  and stamped the flowers to make my bouquet. I then added a sentiment from the same set using the same green ink as the flower stems.

I matted my card base with a coordinating blue card before adding my design. I tied a small bow and added this to the flowers. A few scattered green bubbles complete the design.

Go Wild!

Good Morning! I Hope you all had a great Easter! Now spring is well under way who is starting to think of camping?

My card today shows the reasons why I don't camp very well!

Yep all those critters that like to invade your space as well as suck the life out of you!

That said Raisin Boat's Happy Camper is the most adorable stamp set where you can get to enjoy the outdoors whilst in the safety of the craft room!

I colored the images with markers and then had my die cutter fussy cut the critters. I matted a card base with green card and placed the card with my campfire and sentiments on in the center of the card. I then die cut an aperture from some patterned paper and adhered this over my camp fire.

I then used 2 decreasing circle dies to cut a frame and added acetate to this. I placed the flower confetti onto my card and using foam squares glued my "window" over the aperture.

My little critters were then glued in place don't ya just love this crazy raccoon!

He is the perfect pizza thief!
