One for the boys

Good Morning, colder weather hit us again over the weekend - just when we had planted out some baby plants!

Today I have taken over the SumMore Fun Blog with a card for the boys. I killed 2 birds with one stone with this one, it was James's birthday on the 7th so my card was used for him.

I have used 2 stamp sets on this card the first being Welcome To The Cabin:

The set is all about hunting and fishing so I chose some of the wording and added fishes and fishing rod (from the same stamp set) onto a piece of white card I had lightly inked with green and brown ink. This was then added to my card base which had first been matted with dark green card.

Putting this to one side I then used my second stamp which is Chicken Wire This is a large stamp that is just what the item says it is chicken wire, here is a close up:

I stamped this onto acetate and using foam tape I placed this over my first stamping. My original idea was to make this a shaker card using some of the stamped fish from the first stamp set I used but they wouldn't lay right and 'shake' under the acetate. So instead I die cut a frame using some real tree design paper and added this over my images.

As this was for my son I die cut the letters and added son to the side of the card.

Sports day

Good afternoon the sun is shining and my doors are open! Thank goodness we have a break in the rain.

It's hump day and we are half way through the new release at Riley and Company. Today It's sports day, remember the adorable dress up Riley's from the last new release - well we have some great summer outfits and activities stamps including sports. So I have dressed our little buddy up for sports day.

First activity is soccer or as we Brits call it football:

I colored Riley and his shorts using alcohol markers - adding a stripe to his shorts so he's in my hubby's favorite team colors. I then printed out some soccer related design paper and cut it into a bookmark - I matted it onto red card to give it more stability Riley was glued in place and I stamped 3 soccer balls which I have placed to make it look as if he is heading them. I punched a hole in the top of the bookmark and made a tassel from baker's twine.

Next we'll have a nice game of golf and meet up at the 19th hole for a little apres drink

Again colored with Alcohol makers, I added a cap so he can see his ball without the sun getting in his eyes. I colored the ball and club - these accessories all have matching dies which makes it so much better than having to fussy cut such tiny items! I printed a design paper and typed out my sentiment and printed it onto the paper. Matting this with a golf ball paper I added the club and ball.

Onto my 3rd sports related card - fishing!

Riley looks fab in his "Gone Fishing" tee which along with his hat, rod and fish were colored with my markers. I then matted my grey card base with some camo design paper and green card. I typed out some of the lyrics from one of my favorite country singers and matted this with the grey card. Riley was dressed and added to the card along with his rod and trout!
