Nephew's 11th Birthday

The brief from my sister was - something Minecraft or GTA5 (grand theft auto!!) themed.  Oh dear I don't like boys cards! 

I did Minecraft last year so thought I'd investigate the GTA idea.  Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about these games.  A quick google didn't initially help.  After some searching the only thing I could come up with was to use the box cover as a starting point. 

After searching for a suitable free font this is what I came up with:
 

 

The second card I used a digi stamp (from digisparkle) coloured with copics and gel pen.  The card base was stamped with a  Visible Image background stamp and coloured with distress inks.

Get Well Card

This card was for a friend from work who had a baby in the summer but has been unwell recently and was in hospital last weekend suffering from scepticemia.  Really hope she's up and about soon.

This card uses a fab image from Birds Cards.  I have coloured it in with Copics and mounted on some papermania textured card and paper from Melody Ross, Lydia collection. 

I have also used some paper flowers and candi coloured, both coloured with my copics.

Wedding Card

This card is for one of Hubby's work colleagues who is getting married this weekend.

Vellum on the centre panel has a glittered flower design but unfortunately it doesn't show up very well on the photo.

21st Birthday Card

Trying to make a 21st birthday card for my Nephew's girlfriend has taken ages.  I was trying to make something different to my usual girly style card but my first attempt ended up in the bin after my Daughter made a hmmm sound and said why didn't I just stick to my normal sort of card which she preferred.  So back to the craft room after dinner and this one was much quicker to make!  If I feel brave I might add a pic of the binned one later!

Stamp was from Fizzy Moon - I quite like this stamp as it's really easy to personalise a card quite subtly.  Coloured with Copics.  Frames were cut using Sizzix Eclips and eCAL and nesties on Big Shot. 

Thanks for looking.

1D Birthday Card

This one is for my niece's 15th birthday today.  I wonder which boy band she likes?!!!!!

Lime and Black

Here's my second card for the Less is More LIME & BLACK Challenge (No. 114).  Felt it was a bit plain when I first did it with just the border and sentiment but feel better now I've added the butterfly.

Border was created with Coredinations Whitewash card stock embossed with Tied Together embossing folder and small black gems from stash added then mounted onto black card.  Sentiment from a Paula Pascual set.  Butterfly cut on Sizzix Eclips with svg file from Birds Cards.  Stardust stamp from Korean Rubber Stamp DIY Tin Box Set Flower Fairy.

Thanks for looking.

Easter Break

I had promised myself some crafting time over the Easter Holidays, but here we are heading towards the end of our two week break and I've not really spent the time I thought I would have done crafting.  I have though managed to complete a couple of cards for a challenge.  The current challenge on Less is More is LIME & BLACK (Challenge no  114).  A bit out of my comfort zone but I thought I'd give it a go.

Small square card - 4"
Papermania Textured Card - lime and black
Sentiment is Paula Pascual All Year Round stamped in black
small punched flowers with black gem centres
die cut flourish - sorry not idea of make, need to keep a record of these things when I throw the packets out!!

Although fairly simple I quite liked the end result.

Have made a second one for this challenge but think I might add something else to it before I post as it looks just a bit too plain at the moment.
