Fly Me to the Moon - My Mum's Craft Shop DT Card

Good morning everyone, hope the sun is shining for you today, it was a horrid wet day here in the North East yesterday but for now at least the sun is shining again.

It's Tuesday again which means it's time for my weekly dose of inspiration for My Mum's Craft Shop.  It's a free theme this week and this gave me chance to use my lovely new Away We Go stamp from The Cat's Pajamas.  I love the bunny on these stamps :-)

The papers are from the First Edition Blank Canvas paper pad, this is one of my favourites as I love the soft colours and patterns.

I didn't have a clue where the design of this card was going to be going when I started it so I just went with the flow and had a bit of a play.

I die cut a variety of circles using the Die-namics Circle Stax Set Two set and as always did a bit of faux stitching around the edges of each circle.  I love to do this as I just think it adds a bit of depth and definition.

I've coloured my stamp with Copics and paper pieced the balloon with more papers from the pad.  As soon as I saw this balloon it had 'paper piecing' written all over it.  It was a bit fiddly but I love how it's turned out.

I've finished off with a sentiment from the set, a couple of die cut stars and some Card Candi

That's all from me today, I'm off from the day job this week so I'm off out with Megs today.  Hope you all have a fab day

My Mums Craft Shop - Happy Days!

Hi there everyone, can't believe it's Wednesday already, where did Easter go !

We had a lovely weekend, it was busy but very enjoyable.  Luckily I have the rest of the week off to spend with Megan so I'm not sure there will be much crafting time for me.

It's time for my weekly post for My Mums Craft Shop and this week I've gone out of my comfort zone and done a boy's card.

I just love this Take Off stamp from The Cat's Pajamas and I've coloured him in with Copics.  I've even attempted to make a bit of a sky background using B000, just dotting it around and making cloud shapes.  It looks quite subtle but effective.

I've used the Boy Crazy 6 x 6 pad by My Minds Eye and I've distressed and faux stitched around the edges of all my panels before matting everything onto red cardstock. 

To embellish I've used the Puffy Clouds die from Memory Box which I've embossed with polka dots for a bit of extra dimension.  The red bracket at the side is from the Crafts Too Labels 8 die set and I've added a bit of stitching around the edge with white gel pen.

Well I think that's all from me today, I'm currently waiting impatiently for the UPS man to bring me a parcel of crafty goodies so I'm off to guard the front door ready to pounce when he arrives lol!

Have a great day

Hugs
