Spring Birthday

For my A5 card, Winnie Sunshine Delight digi stamp, coloured with alcohol markers and die-cut using scalloped and straight rectangle layering dies. I die-cut the floral paper from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 4 using the same layering dies and I used the pink paper from Lily Bug Love Paper Heaven 2 for the background. I printed the pre-coloured flower from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Embellishments bundle off three times each and layered them up using foam pads. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from Winnie celebrations 2 sentiments bundle and die cut it down. 

Valentines

For my A5 Valentine's card, I used Work &Play Love & Kisses True Love digi stamp, coloured with alcohol markers and die-cut using heart layering dies. I used papers from the Work & Play Love & Kisses craft download Bundle, I used the large heart paper for the background and die-cut the striped paper using the same heart layering dies as before. The sentiment is from the same big download bundle as the papers, once again using the heart layering dies to make it heart-shaped. To finish I added 3 pearls that I coloured with a purple marker to match the card colour better, a ribbon, and a bow.

 

Darling Buds

 For the spring is coming challenge I used The Darling Buds Daffodil digi stamp coloured with alcohol markers and die-cut using circle layering dies. I used 2 papers from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 4 bundle, layered up using a bright yellow card from my stash. Then I used a border die and simple flower dies to finish. 

 I made a cheer-up card. I chose to make a DL size using Ice Cream Days -Sparkle Unicorn digi stamp and coloured it in using alcohol markers. I chose bright colours and used a flower design paper from Winnie Celebrations 2 - Papers 1, to make this cute cheerful card. To finish I added a ribbon, bow, and paper flower.

A white Christmas.

My first Polkadoodles challenge was "All White (with accent colour)".

I used the Bella Bear with lots of parcels/gifts Digi stamp, coloured with alcohol markers, die-cut it using layering circle dies and I embossed the background with a simple dot embossing folder and used the purple card for the accent colour.

Gypsy and friends.

This card is made using the Gypsy Meadows "Gypsy and Napkin" and "Gypsys Friends" stamp sets, Hunkydory Prism ink pads and colouring is done using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers. 

To start I ran my "Rainforest Green" ink pad around the edge of the card to give it a border and then I cut a piece of smooth white card ¼" smaller than the base card.
I stamped the fox, Gypsy with Napkin and the duck straight onto the white card. Then I stamped them twice more another piece of card, once for the masking and once for the 3d layers. I masked off the stamps on the white card, used "Blue Lagoon" prism ink and the "Plane Cute" stencil from Hunkydory crafts to make the clouds. Then I drew a line for the grass and added some hand-drawn bushes. I coloured the grass, bushes and stamps in using my Tri-Blend markers. Making sure to use the same colours on my second set of stamping. Then I stuck the base picture to the base card.
I cut out the parts I wanted to 3d from the second set of stamping and layered them onto the base picture using 1mm foam pads. To finish I stamped the "Have a very Happy Birthday" sentiment from a separate stamp set from my own stash onto smooth white card, die-cut it out using a rectangle die, layered it onto a piece of card that I coloured using the "Rainforest Green" prism ink pad and stuck it to the base card using foam pads.

6x6" card made using Gypsy Meadows "Gypsys Friends" stamp set, Hunkydory Prism ink pads and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.

To start I covered a 6x6 card blank with Hobbycrafts green card, then I added a 5¾" x 5¾" piece of spotted paper from The Craft Place origami paper stack. Then I cut a 2"x 6" piece of green card and layered it up with a 1¾" x5¾" piece of zig-zag origami paper. I put a band of hessian ribbon around that layer and stuck it the base card.
I die cut a piece of smooth white card using Moonstone nesting dies Circle, then stamped the fox onto the circle. I then masked off the stamp and used "Blue Lagoon" prism ink and the "Plane Cute" stencil from Hunkdory for the clouds. I coloured in the fox in brown to make him look more like a dog and added flicks of different greens to the grass. Then I die-cut a scalloped circle from the green card using Hunkydory Scalloped nesting dies, layered the stamped image onto it and stuck it to the base card using 1mm foam pads. Using Time for Tea designs "friend" die, I cut the word from white card and the backing from green card, stuck them together and added it to the card, again using foam pads. To finish I coloured some white pearls green to match the card and stuck them along the hessian ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and thank you for stopping by.

I started by die-cutting some lime green adorable scorable card for the box and smooth white card for the inside strips. Then I created the background using For the Love of Masks "Plane Cute" stencil and arctic mist prism ink pad. I die-cut the sun and clouds using the box clever die accessories, coloured the sun in yellow and ran the arctic mist ink pad around the edge of the clouds. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the ducks, reeds and sentiment, then I stuck them to the inside strips that I had coloured using "Rainforest Green" and "Blue Lagoon" ink pads. To finish I glued the box altogether and added the sentiment to the outside.

I stuck the body of the giraffe to the background, cut a slit at the neck part for the long neck to fit into and I then slid the long neck into the slit. On the back, I glued a small piece of cardboard to stop the neck sliding out of the slit and added a pull tab made from acetate to the head.

You are Moo-vellous

 A6 card made using Time for Tea Designs "Moovellous" stamp set, "Rainforest Green" prism ink pad, backing paper from The Craft Place "Origami Super Stack" (brought from the works) and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I started with an A6 card blank and covered it with Hobbycraft's "Brights" green card.

I used Hunkydory's nesting rectangle Moonstone dies to cut a piece of patterned paper so it was just smaller than the card. 

I then stamped, coloured, fussy cut and added two google eyes to the cow. Using the smallest rectangle in the nesting dies I cut a piece smooth white card and stamped the sentiment in "Rainforest Green", I used a green marker to add some dots around the sentiment and I made a green card layer for the sentiment using a slightly bigger rectangle die. 

Then I die-cut a scalloped circle using HDs Moonstone scalloped and straight nesting dies from green card, then a smaller straight edged circle from patterned paper, layered them up and stuck the cow to it. 

To finish I stuck the cow topper I made and the sentiment to the card using 1mm foam pads.

Plane Cute

A6 card made using For the love of stamps "Plane Cute" stamp set, "Plane Cute" for the love of masks, "Blue Lagoon" and "Arctic Mist" prism ink pads, Straight edge rectangle Moonstone Die and coloured using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

First I die cut a piece of smooth white card and used the plane cute mask to blend the clouds in the background using blue lagoon prism ink, then removed the mask and blended over everything with Arctic Mist. While I have my prism ink pads out I used Blue lagoon and coloured all around the edge of the base card.
I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut the two people, the biggest plane, the smallest plane and the banner. I then stamped the "Fly away with me" sentiment onto the banner and stuck them all down onto the background. I used foam tape for the biggest plane and two people and tacky glue for the small plane and banner. To finish I stuck it all to the base card.

It's Hammy Time!

This little box card is made using Time for Tea Designs "Hooray Hamsters" Stamp set, Uniko's "Pinstripe II" stamp and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I stamped then coloured and fussy cut 2 different hamsters, the wheel and the sunflower seeds. I then stamped the "Pinstripe II" stamp using the "Slate Grey" prism ink pad to make the background. I then made a wrap out of acetate with 1" sides and ½" tabs for sticking to the background. I stuck ½" wide of scrap patterned card to the bottom and made a ½" wide panel of scrap white card, coloured in with "Jersey Cream" prism ink pad for the hamsters to be stuck to. Before I stuck the background to the wrap, I stamped the "It's hammy time" sentiment in the top corner using Spectrum Noir harmony "Jet Black" ink pad. I used foam pads to stick the wheel to the background and then stuck it all together. To finish I added a panel of white card to the back to add some stability and hide the acetate flaps.
