The theme this month for the Stamp Man ATC swap is ‘The Look’, which made me think of a couple of songs:

Hello Kitty Card

Here is a fairly simple but effective card I made using the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge. I added a little glitter to the centre of the bow to add a bit of sparkle.

Fashion

Here is a card I made with the forever young cricut cartridge. It is a stand up type card but does fold flat to go in an envelope. Hope you like it. Sorry about the poor photo but I already gave the card away.

LOTV Wedding Cards

Here are some wedding cards I made a couple of months ago when I got my first LOTV stamps. They were coloured in with my also new at the time ProMarkers.

MIYUKI Frog

You may have seen my post of a MIYUKI Panda earlier in the year. In case you didn’t, click here to see it.

This again was made from a kit and was very enjoyable to make. TFL

Sarah Kay Card

The card above was made with a gorgeous stamp that my crafty friend Jane has let me borrow. The stamp is a Sarah Kay clear one and has been coloured in with ProMarkers. I have then added white spots to her apron with a sakura white glaze pen.

Magical Marquee Card

This card was designed using Cricut Design Studio. If you would like the cut file please leave me comment and include your email address. Now for the magical part of the card, when the card is opened an image is revealed inside the circle of a cupcake.

Here are a couple of close-ups of the stamping I did on the card.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #76

This weeks stamptacular Sunday Challenge is to follow the sketch which can be found here. The card I have made below uses a LOTV stamp and Inkadinkado stamps. Here is a close-up of the pricking I have done around the edge of the image and the flocking on the girls hat.

Some jewellery for a change

Its been a while since I’ve posted any new jewellery I’ve made (to tell the truth that is because I haven’t made much lol). So here is my latest creation which I think is gorgeous and is now sat proudly around my neck.

Here are some close-ups so you can see the detail:

Mojo Monday- 155

Here is my card following the Mojo Monday sketch which can be found by clicking here. I absolutely adore this sketch and love the cards I have seen following it, hopefully you will like my take on it. The image I have used is a LOTV stamp which has of course been coloured in with ProMarkers. TFL

Sweet

Here is a card that I made using a Forever Friends Stamp which I coloured in with ProMarkers. To me the bear looks like he/she is holding a box of chocolates. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any chocolates in the house but I do plan to give this with some :).The greeting stamp is from a Hero Arts set called Friends. I am entering this for the following challenges:

• Forever Friends Challenge- Something For Sweets
