Quick Card ...

Hi Everybody,

Just popping in today to show you a card that I made a while ago using some free stamps from Creative Stamping and some ink blending in the sky for an extra effect

It is quite bright and I think any six year old would be happy to get this.

I sued the numbers dies from Apple Blossom and the dragon was coloured with Spectrum Noir

I am in a bit of a rush today and so I don't have time to write a longer post but I will be back with

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie 28

Hi Everybody,

Here we are again with another Shabby Chic card on offer

This one is a Birthday card and the inside is lined.

It is a lilac and lemon colour way and the photo does it no justice at all.

It really is much better in the hand and I don't think you will be disappointed with it

If this is a card that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post.

Tomorrow a name will be chosen at random from those comment s and announced in the blog post
So as I always say if you add your name then be sure to come back and check if it is you who has won the card.

More tomorrow ...

Sausage Dog ...

Hi Everybody,

This cute stamp is from Woodware

It is one I have had in my collection for quite some time.

I bought it on a whim at a craft show I visited and it has sat in my drawer ever since.

I thought it was time to put him to good use as I have a family birthday coming up soon and this will do very nicely

I coloured it in with Spectrum Noir pens going in no particular direction or colour scheme but the result is quite pleasant and it is a fun card.

I hope my recipient likes it

Summer Cards ...

Hi Everybody,

This months Creative Stamping has a fabulous A4 stamp set with lots of designs for you to create some summer themed cards.

Joanna Sheen is the featured designer on this months collection and this has to be one of the best value stamps sets on the market.

Each month there is a new A4 group of stamps that will help you create some really pretty cards and to buy them individually would be expensive

But these good quality stamps are FREE and excellent images ... so what are you waiting for

The video will show you some of my ideas and in it I will make a male card as I know many of us struggle when it comes to ideas for men.

Creative Stamping 46 - Garden Retreat   is not a long vidoe so you wont get bored but the card it produces can be adapted however you would like.

More tomorrow ...
