Happy Ewe

Hello Everyone. A birthday card to fill out my stock a little. I looked at what I have and I am low on most types of cards. I did make this card though

I decided to keep the image a little simple and only coloured the hat and balloons. The papers are actually a kitchen inspired set but I liked how these papers looked together so I went with them. Everything is matted with a custard yellow light card stock. And I was inspired by sketch #487 from Tuesday Morning Sketches

This card was also inspired by Cute Card Thursdays Challenge - Critters

Since I like sheep I decided to make a card with a cute Bugaboo Image - Circle Sentiments - Birthday Ewe. I am a part of a spinning group and I think that this card will suit someone from there quite nicely.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card project. As always before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

I like to learn new things. I sometimes try to learn a new technique or sometimes I try to make something without a pattern just to see if I can. I am actually doing this at the moment - I am trying to crochet a bag that I want because I can not find a pattern for it! Will have to see how it goes.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

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,
