Pine Cone Birthday

Hello everyone. 

This card is a just because I needed to make a card for a friend. You know being a cardmaker comes in handy when you need a card and you don't have any on hand. I had donated a whole lot of my cards to a charity and I wasn't left with many for myself. Then I realised I needed a card and nothing I had left was suitable.

And this is the card that I have made for my friend.

I went with these colours because I needed a male card and he loves the outdoors. So I thought that these papers suited for making this card. But as most times I started with a sketch and I used this one from Operation Write Home. It's a favourite of mine.

And as has become my habit I have included the sketch with my measurements to make an A6 card front. All of the matts are .5cm bigger than the measurements mentioned. I used of the heart I used this pine cone sticker. It felt good to make a male themed card and to also use up some of my long forgotten stash of papers. But I was able to do some silver embossing for the sentiment on a small piece of pattern paper.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card today. Please consider leaving a comment on my post just to let me know that you stopped by and I can visit your blog as well. And as always before you go I would like to leave you with this last thought

These minion guys always crack me up. But I also like this quote because its quite true. If we stop what gives us joy then what do we want to keep moving for? I always try to have a little fun of some kind each day. Whether that be crafting, listening to some good music or just having a laugh with a friend or at a joke.

Have A Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #560 - Embossing

Bundle of Joy

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing with you a card that I made for some dear friends who just welcomed their little girl into the world just over a week ago.

Isn't this image adorable. I have used "Babe Moon Lullaby" available from Lil Miss Muffet Digital Stamps quite a few times and for either a Baby Girl or Boy. The starry background is a digital paper that I have and joined these together and printed them onto white card stock. I coloured the baby image in with my Copic markers.

The sketch that I used is from Operation Write Home

I included the measurements that I used to fit my A6 front of a card which is the size for a card in Australia. So some aren't exactly to the original sizes mentioned because our card stock is different.

Sometimes I like to make cards that are a little less fussy but this does have the layers that I like to play around with. My layers can either be cardstock or sometimes I will use distress inks around the edge to help them to stand out.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project. I hope that you might have found some useful information or something to spark your creativity. And before you go I would like to leave you with this final thought

Whether you are doing a job or a chore around your home may you do as Mary says "Find your element of Fun" and this will help get it done.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,
