Happy Birthday Dad!

Well in keeping with the mad May its my dads birthday today. It is also my little bundle of love Archer's 1st birthday! Can't believe he is 1 already when did that happen. Now he is having a very special 1st birthday party on Saturday so there will be more to come on that but for now here is the card I made for my dad. It is the same sketch as the previous post but I liked the layout and paper but just changed the stamp.


Here is what I used:

Stamps: Sail Away, Vintage Labels (retired)

Paper: Basic Grey, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree DSP

Ink: Basic Grey, Soft Suede

Accessories: Crimper, 1" Circle Punch, Dimensionals. Crochet Thread, Eyelets

Happy stamping,

Happy Birthday Father-In-Law

Its mad May in our house. We have so many birthdays this month and Mother's day that I find it hard to keep up! Today is my Father-In-Laws birthday and this is the card I made for him.


This is using one of the fabulous new a la carte stamps from the Autumn/Winter Mini. These are great stamps when you just want one image and I seriously lack for male themed stamps and the two in the mini are fab. I also used sketch challenge 330 from Splitcoaststampers Here is what I used:

Stamps: Motorcycle, Vintage Labels (retired)

Paper: Basic Gray, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree DSP

Ink: Basic Gray, Soft Suede

Accessories: Crimper, 1" Circle Punch, Crochet Thread, Metal Key, Dimensionals, Sponge Dauber

Hope he likes it!

New Rubber!

I got my pre-order for the Autumn/Winter mini starting next month so wanted to ink some up straight away. This is a new a la carte stamp called Sail Away. I really lack masculine stamps so decided this was a must for my addiction ahem collection. This was using the sketch SC323 over on Splitcoasters as well.

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Sail Away, Vintage Labels (retired)

Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree DSP

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede

Accessories: Jumbo Eyelets, Small Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Dimensionals

Happy Birthday Baby!

Well yesterday was my hubby's birthday and we had a lovely day out to lunch with the family. I got him a new golf club that he has lusted after for a while - it was so funny to see his face, I think I actually surprised him for once. I don't think he has put it down since - even taking it to work today to show the "boys". I honestly expected to wake up with it in bed with us! This is a card I made for my nan to give to him.

This was for CAS39 on Splitcoasters which was a sketch challenge. Here is what I used:

Stamps: Lovely As A Tree, Short & Sweet

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Very Vanilla, Unknown DP

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Garden Green

Accessories: Nestabilities & CB, Twine, Large Oval Punch

I coloured the tree with markers in the different colours to give it a variegated look and used twin to make it manly as ribbon just doesn't cut it!

Must get on and make some Christmas cards now - haven't event started! Can't believe how quick time has gone - even harder to believe that I am 16 weeks pregnant today and have started to feel the baby wiggle about. Makes is seem a bit more real!

Happy stamping
