Anniversary cards - including Hubby's first ever card!

 

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today hubby and I are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary. Life has been busy and neither of us had the chance to pre make or buy usually in his case a card for the occasion so I set him a challenge! Hubby has never made a card before and I tell you now it wasn't easy to let him lose on my supplies!

First up is the card I made, I decided to use the Heffy Doodle Veggie Patch stamp set with the Coordinating dies and coloured up my images using copic markers. I then took a stitched square die and die cut 2 panels, one from bright white card stock and one from butterscotch card stock. Taking the butterscotch card and stoney maloney stencil I used Scattered Straw distress ink for a tone on tone look. I then centrally die cut a heart from this panel using a stitched heart die and stamped my sentiment under the heart.

Then taking the back panel which I had cut from white card stock I used the Heffy Doodle Green Fields stencil, I love this stencil as not only does it have grass but also can be turned round and has some curvy edges for hills/mounds! Frayed Burlap distress ink was perfect to create my muddy patch, I also reacted a small amount of ink with water to create mud splatters for extra texture! Finished off with some Pale Gold Nuvo Drops and it's done!


Now for Hubby's card! He went slimline and he's not scared to leave lots of empty space which is something I would fear, maybe I need to take a leaf out of his book!
He's used a variety of ink colours to blend a background, Heffy Doodle slimline mini mail dies for the card panel. Images are from So this is love stamp set by The Greeting Farm and backed onto my favourite colour Heffy Doodle card stock wildberry.



Thanks for stopping by to see our anniversary cards, I think hubby did a great job and I might just let him lose again in future on my craft stash!

Until next time, happy crafting!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
