Polkadoodles Winnie Wednesday Handmade Card

 Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made a card using Polkadoodles Winnie Wednesday digital download kit. 

I made the base card myself on my Silhouette Cameo, and for the pop up web on the inside of the card I purchased that from the Silhouette store.

I printed the main image 3 times so I could make some decoupage.

Using my glitter Sakura gel pens I coloured in the spider and also highlighted parts of the main image. 

I have decided to add this to the Polkadoodles craft challenge, so wish me luck!

Just Because.... Handmade Bree Merryn Thank You Card & Gift Box

Hi Everyone,

A friend of mine at work bought me some beautiful flowers this week and when I asked why she had got me them she said just because.....  as you can imagine I was very happy receiving them it was a beautiful kind thing to do!

As I was out and about yesterday, I saw a little sheep in a gift shop which I thought I would buy for her as a thank you.

That is where I got my inspiration to make a gift box and thank you card using my Cuties In Booties Cd Rom by Bree Merryn.

I hope she loves her gift as much I loved making the card and box.

Happy Fathers Card

Hi Everyone,

This weeks card is made for my dad, I made it using my Silhouette Cameo and a cutting file that I purchased from the Silhouette store.

The cutting file is actually a shadow box card, but on this occasion I just wanted it to be a flat 8 x 8 card.

I also purchased the backgrounds from the same designer Marji Roy. If you like this card and the versatality of the design why not head over to her website 3d cuts.com or search Marji Roy in the Silhouette store.

The only problem I found using the cutting file is the fisherman are so delicate that they couldn't be cut out succesfully, so I decided to just print the image on the background. I suppose that if the design was bigger it would cut out perfectly.

Paw Patrol Handmade Birthday Cards

Hi Everyone,

This week I have made a cople of cards for my twin niece and nephew's birthday using Paw Patrol.

I bought the images from Etsy.com and took them in to craft artist where I played around to make a couple of toppers.

I then exported the toppers into my Silhouette studio software, traced them and then made a couple of card bases.

I printed out some extra toppers so I could make some decoupage and layered them up with foam tape.  

Happy Birthday Eli and Sienna!

Handmade Frozen Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

This weeks card was made for my niece's 4th birthday, she loves frozen especially Anna.

I thought I would make a shaker card as they are very interactive and children love to shake them!

I started by designing the card on my Silhouette Cameo and I purchased the frozen characters from etsy.com.

The papers I used came from a couple of cds and I re-coloured them to match in with the character.

Happy Birthday Roxy!

Handmade Male Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

This week I have made a card for my boyfriends birthday.

The card is made using an image and backing papers from La Pashe Wacky Wheels collection.

The brick wall patterned paper came from my paper collection in my Silhouette software.

I designed a cutting file of the cutout to make it look like the car smashed through the brick wall, I then mounted the 3d decoupaged car on some acetate springs to give it more of a 3d look.

I hope you like it, see you next week.

Handmade Polkadoodles Funny Old Bag Card

Hi everyone,

This week's card I made for a friend's 50th birthday.

It is made using a Polkadoodles funny old bags revolting kiss digital stamp,that I purchased from Polkadoodles.co.uk

I coloured the image using my promarkers, I then scanned the image into my computer and opened it up using serif craft artist.

Using one of my craft artist mask digikits, I created a background using the same colour as her dress.

I then resized my coloured stamp and printed it out 3 times so I could go ahead and hand cut the image to make decoupage.

I layered my decoupage stamp up on my masked background and added it to my card.

The backing papers are from one of my dreameees cd roms, which I think complement the colours of my stamp.

I then used Anita's 3d gloss on her eye, lips necklace and hearts. To make the image pop.

I finished my card with some paper flowers using my Clematis and Shasta daisy dies from Elizabeth craft designs. Not forgetting to add a few gems.

I hope you like it, happy Easter and stay safe.
