My Mum's Craft Shop DT Card - Bailey Has a Baby

Morning lovelies, it's time to show you my new DT card for My Mum's Craft Shop and this week I have kept things quite simple again.... I don't know what is happening to me lol!

I absolutely adore the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls stamps and for my card I have used the gorgeous Bailey Has a Baby - I wish I looked that amazing after having a baby ;-)  I stamped her onto some Neenah cardstock with black Memento ink and then coloured her with Copics.  I added a little doodle border around the edge with a fine liner.

I have kept the colour scheme quite generic so it could be used as either a baby boy or girl card.

Did you know that My Favourite Things now do papers?  This is from the 6 x 6 Plaid Patterns pad and as I have got some brown colouring in my image I have matted everything onto brown cardstock to give a bit of contrast.

To finish I have added a couple of buttons and a stamped sentiment from an old Paper Smooches set from my stash.

That's all from me today.  I am super excited as we are going camping on Monday for a week in the Lakes.  I have everything possible crossed that the weather is nice!

Have a great weekend

My Mum's Craft Shop DT Card - Birthday Girl

Morning everyone, long time no see.  I have had so much going on lately I am afraid I have severely neglected my little blog.

Never mind pull up a chair I am back now with my DT card for My Mum's Craft Shop and this week I have chosen to do a scallop circle easel style design using the cute little Birthday Girl stamp by A Random Fan.

I have coloured her with copics to match my papers which are from the Patriotic Picnic pad by Doodlebug.  I've matted everything onto navy blue cardstock and added a bit of faux stitching here and there to make the layers pop a bit more.

I can't for the life of me remember where I got the letter dies from, I have had them so long (but to be fair, I can't remember what I did yesterday most of the time so it isn't surprising really).

The large flower is from the Dienamics Blueprints 14 die set and to finish I have added some Craftwork Cards Candi, buttons and a little ribbon bow.

Well that's all from me today, we are off to shop for some camping stuff for our holidays soon...can't wait!

Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday

I'm back with a New Challenge for My Mum's Craft Shop

Helllloooooo everyone, I'm back after a bit of a crafty break and raring to go!

I am very lucky to be back on the My Mum's Craft Shop  DT and as it's 1st July (eeek) we are kicking of the month with a new challenge.  This month our theme is.....

Just for Girls

Always a good one for me as I love my girly cards.  Having said that I decided to stay away from pink this time for a change and go for a gorgeous turquoise and purple theme.

I adore the First Edition paper pads and this one is a fairly recent one called New Bloom.  To make it all pop I've matted all my panels onto turquoise cardstock....as usual lots of layers from me lol

The stamp is the gorgeous Cupcake Cutie from My Favourite Things and I've coloured her with Copics, adding a few spots around the background to give a bit of dimension.

I've finished off with some purple ribbon, flowers and buttons.

We always love seeing your creations so if you want to be in with a chance of winning a MMCS voucher pop by the blog and leave a link to your design.

Well that's all from me today, pop back tomorrow when I will have another DT card to show you.

A Treat for You - My Mums Craft Shop DT Card and New Challenge

Hi there everyone and happy Wednesday, I hope the sun is shining with you....is Spring finally on it's way?

Here is my DT card for this week for My Mum's Craft Shop and it also doubles up as my card for our new May challenge where the theme for this month is :-

Spots or Stripes

As you know I love spots so this is a dream of a challenge for me !  This is the first time I've used this stamp since I got her, I've just been waiting for the right card and this is it.  She is called Cupcake Cutie by My Favourite Things and I've combined two of the images from the set to create the main focal point for my card.

I've coloured her with copics and added some random dots around the outside to create a background.  I've then added some glitter to the cupcakes although it doesn't really show on the picture.  I've also done a bit of paper piecing on the table cloth.

The papers are all from the Dots & Stripes Bundle of Joy Girl 6 x 6 paper pad by Echo Park and I love the ice creamy colours which I've matted onto Kraft cardstock for a subtle effect.

I've then die cut random size circles and arranged them around my image and finished off with some buttons here and there.

Pop over to the blog to check out the awesome inspiration from the rest of the DT girls and don't forget to leave us a link to your project, we always love to see what you have created.

Have a great day

My Mums Craft Shop - Flower Theme Week

Hey there everyone, it's Wednesday which means it's time for my weekly post for My Mum's Craft Shop where our theme for this week is 'Flowers'.

I've used the brand new Sweet Roses stamps by My Favourite Things and their matching Roses and Leaves Die-namics.

I've die cut the flowers first from white card before stamping the solid flower images onto them.  I have then inked up the outline flower stamps with brown ink and stamped over the top for some definition.  It did take a few attempts to get the stamps lined up with the die cuts but I got there in the end !

 

 

The papers are from the Blank Canvas paper pad and the central panels are made using the Layered Label die-namics.

 

I've used one of the sentiments from the stamp set and finished off with some grosgrain ribbon and some Chocolate Heaven pearls.

 

That's all from me for today, hope you all have a great day.
