Time For A Cat Nap

Good morning bloggers & readers!

Here I am with this weeks Just Inklined card!
So sorry it's a bit later than it should be but I scheduled the post
for the wrong day! Doh!
I made a little twisted easel card this time!

The image I have used is Cat Nap from 

The Best Of Just Inklined CD Rom

I just love this little kitty all snuggled up!
The DP I have used is from American Crafts. I managed to
 pick it up as a bargain in TK Max! I added some
lace & buttons from my stash too!

I coloured the image with a combination of FlexMarkers  Promarkers.

I was obviously thinking Pink when I created this one!

The sentiment ticket is by The Crafty Pad Designs

Another little look!

Happy Anniversary

Happy Saturday bloggy peeps!

Here's today's little card for you!

This was made using The Wrinklies CD Rom from La Pashe

The DP is from the CD too! Looks just like a stripey sheet doesn't it!

This is a little topper with a lovely couple & their fur babies!

I printed everything on to Print Perfect.

They have just the right weight of paper for every occasion.

I die cut the topper with my favourite circle nestie & used a scalloped circle 

as the mat. I love how they fit together & they fit so many styles of project!

Here they are all snuggled up in bed together!

I'm so looking forward to getting some new fur babies to

snuggle up with! lol The flowers are made using the DP

& various sizes of daisy punch, with some shaping & layering.

I chopped up the insert & added the Happy Anniversary to the front

then added the rest inside! The punched edge is done with

a Papermania border punch, Daisy Doily

A few little self adhesive pearls to finish off & voila!

A really quick little card to make! 

I reckon this took me about 20 mins including the printing!

(The little flowers did take a bit longer!)

Thanks for dropping in!

Good day to you blog lovelies!

How are we all today?

Well I hope!

Here I am today with a card for Just Inklined!

A bright & cheery Birthday Card for a lady!

The papers are my latest find in TK Max from American Crafts.

The image I have used is
Room With A View

This version is from

The Best Of  Just Inklined 2012 CD Rom 
There is a very similar digi here at Just Inklined.
Just a couple of very subtle differences.
I used my usual combination of Flexmarkers & Promarkers
to colour the image, then cropped it in close to get the
best view from the window!

I'm not sure where the Birthday Button is from as I've had it printed 

off for ages. I coloured it to match & matted it on to a die cut cog!

A little side view to finish off with, just to let you see the little

 yo yo flower that I made from some broad sheer ribbon.

 I found the ribbon in my local haberdashers bargain box. 

The button was from my stash.Thanks so much for dropping by!

It's my turn to host this month so the funs starts here!
The theme, I have chosen is "One For The Boys"

I know many of us find it difficult to make cards for the

men in our lives so I thought the design team could give you 

a little bit of inspiration!

The image I have used is Throwback Fred

He's such a handsome chap! Joiner be day & party animal by night!

I made the sentiment myself a while back.

Here's a closer look at the handsome & debonaire

Throwback Fred! He's such a fun guy & he's been coloured with

a combination of Promarkers & Flexmarkers

The little hammer & saw are brads, I think they are from Woodware.

Here's a closer look at the sentiment.

The distressed edges were done with a pair of serrated scissors

& sponged with Antique Linen Distress ink

The papers are from First Edition Bo Ho Chic & Papermania.

Here's what I did inside! I like to add a little decoration as

I feel it helps the balance of the card!

I've included the sentiment here for anyone who would like it!

Petticoats Three

Good Morning blogger peepers! 

I hope you're all having a good week so far!

Here's another little card from me!

I went a bit out of my comfort zone with this one!

The image is Petticoats Three from Just Inklined.

I used an Elegant Square card base then added some Kraft paper, 

which was recycled from a paper carrier bag. I did toy with the idea 

of really scrunching it up but I just couldn't! 

I tore the edges then added some design paper which I got in a 

goody box from Craftwork Cards. I tore the edges of that too & distressed 

with Spun Sugar distress ink.

The image was coloured up with a selection of Promarkes & Flexmarkers,

Then I tore the edges & distressed again using the Spun Sugar distress ink.

The organza ribbon & twine were recycled from a gift.

The flower is one of many I got from Lee, aka Crafty Loops ages ago!

(I am so careful about using them as they are so nice! lol).

I gave that a bit of the Spun Sugar treatment too & added the little

 pearl spray from my stash.

I added a little sentiment ticket which is by The Crafty Pad Designs

& a little photo corner tag secured with a brad.

Forgot to mention the die cut doily which is a Mariannes Design Die!

Thanks for dropping in, I hope you like what you saw!

Monochromatic Whoopsi Daisy!

Good morning lovely blog peeps!

Here I am with my DT card for the brand new challenge over at 

Crafting For All Seasons

This fortnight, the theme is Monochromatic.

As you can see I have gone for shades & tones of brown.

The only deviation from brown is a tiny touch of blush on the skin tones!

I have used the fabby sketch 

from Seize The Birthday

for the basic layout of my card sadly I missed that challenge!

The image I have used is from our sponsor

Whoopsi Daisy Sheet 405

I used a comb of FlexMarkers & ProMarkers to bring them to life.

I used a Nestie to cut them out &  inked with Old Paper distress ink.

I added a seam binding double bow & also a button with a length of 

seam binding threaded through & tied in a knot.

the sentiment ticket is from My Grafico

The papers are from First Edition

Here's a last little look!

Thanks so mch for stopping by!

Just A Plane Birthday Card

Good morning blog hoppers!

I hope you're having a good day!

Today's card was made just or fun!

It's for my great nephews 2nd birthday today!
Happy 2nd Birthday Aryan!

As he's a real rough & tumble little boy & I wanted to make 

a card which wasn't too babyish for him!

I used Kraft CS o make a 6"x6" base.

The image I have used is High Flyin  Mouse from  Rick St Dennis

The layout is from this weeks sketch 

at Chocolate Coffee & Cards

I coloured him up in primary colours uing my usual combo of 

FlexMarkers & ProMarkers then fussy cut around the image

& placed on a mat of Kraft CS.

The papers have been in my stash forever & are by papermania.

I distressed the edges using a pair of errated scissors.

Buttons & twine were the only added embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed your visit!
