Birthday Balloons

Good Morning! I have exciting news, I have rejoined the fantastic design team which showcases Scrapper's Delights digital stamps and today is a new release of some super cute Chibis. Just look at the super deals you can get if you purchase them from the store:

The image I am sharing with you is Chibis Balloons:

 I colored him with my alcohol markers before die cutting the image into a circle.

I matted an 8 x 8 inch card base with red card and some water color effect design paper. I then die cut a large circle from the same red card. This was adhered to my card along with my little Chibis. I then cut a "knot" to make my red circle into a balloon a glued some string around this and draped it off my card. I added some shine to my balloon with a white gel pen and finished off by curving Happy Birthday die cuts around my image

If you want more inspiration and to see what my teamies have created with the other images check us out on the Scrappers Delights blog and the  Fan Facebook page,

Cake and balloons - it must be a birthday

Good afternoon, I'm currently incapacitated, I have a problem with my left leg which is causing me a great deal of pain and affecting my ability to do anything. 

Apart from when I color I usually craft standing up so I've had a bit of a lull where card making is concerned. I now have a high stool for my desk and a table so I can keep essentials near by so I'm trying hard to get back into the swing of things - after all I can't bring myself to buy Christmas cards.

Kev called me on Tuesday needing a birthday card for a colleague, it needed to be large enough for the whole team to sign so out came my 8x8in scalloped card bases

The image is a pre-printed one I bought from Lili of the Valley a long while ago. I matted the cute kitty onto pink card along with 2 coordinating Nit Wit Bonnets n Bowties patterned papers, one the same size as my image and one to mat my card base with. I added a colorful ribbon to the paper on the base. I then positioned my layers and adhered these in place.

I die cut Happy Birthday from the same pink card and positioned it in the corner of the card. I added some pink crystal gems from my stash just to balance the card.

A very girly card that was quick and simple to make

Be Mine

Good morning and happy weekend!

Today's creation from the Riley and Company new release doesn't involve Riley or any of his friends. I wanted to show that you can use the new accessory stamp and die sets on any of your cards they don't need to be used with Riley and crew!

it's it sweet!

I matted my card base with coral card then printed a digital design paper that looks like 3 layers.

I stamped the balloon from the Valentine and St Patty's accessory set numerous times I added the little sentiments and smilies that come in the set to the center of the balloons and die cut them all using the fab die set. I then molded them using a ball tool on an embossing mat to give them the curved shape. I filled the back of each balloon with glue gel and added twine before arranging them on my card base.

I tied the ends of the twine together and added a bow. 

The Be Mine sentiment is from the same accessory set of stamps.

 Thank you for stopping by, to see all the new release stamps head on over to the new release section of the Riley and Company online store, they still have all the new release offers on:
