Baby Girl

A friend of mine has just found out she's expecting a baby girl so I thought this gorgeous Baby Line image from Just Inklined was perfect. 

Coloured as usual with Promarkers (and Flexmarkers) and the gorgeous sparkly pink backing paper is again from the Boofle paper pack. 

Hope you're having a lovely weekend whatever you're doing ... I'm just waiting for the hail stones to die down before I go shopping!!! lol

 

Daffodils in Bottle

I know Spring has sprung and Summer came and went in the blink of an eye, but these gorgeous Daffodils from Just Inklined are beautiful whatever the season.

 Coloured as usual with Promarkers, beautiful sparkly backing paper from the Boofle paper pack and my new gorgeous Cheery Lynn French Lattice die.

Hope you're all having a great weekend and haven't got too wet!! xx

Patchwork Pals

I bought a couple of sheets of these Kanban Patchwork Pals whilst on holiday and only just got round to making a card up. This one is for a little boy I know. 

 

 Very, very simple to make up .. just cream cardstock and my hougie board for the embossed lines. Have a nice day whatever you're doing :) xx

Kitchen Shelves

I've had these shelves from Just Inklined coloured up for ages and lost them!!! Anyway I was having a tidy up yesterday and came across them again so made them up into a card.

I used a Beatrix Potter embossing folder for the top half and the bottom half backing paper is from the "Wellington" paper pack. 

Hope you're all having a good weekend and can I just say Happy Fathers Day to my Dad. Love you lots xx

 

Picnic Basket

This lovely picnic basket is only available on "The Next Big Thing" CD from Just Inklined. 

Coloured as usual with Promarkers (too many to remember!!) and the lovely spotty backing paper is from the Papermania Pastel pack which I bought when I first started making cards years back!!! The embossing is done with the centimetre side of my Hougie Board.

  Enjoy the rest of the weekend whatever you're doing :) xx 

 

Hunkydory Garden Vase

Now believe it or not since I started card making I've never bought a ready made card kit. I always start from scratch as I think it makes the card more "handmade" if you know what I mean!! lol 

Anyway I was on holiday the other week and in a lovely little craft shop I found and I came across this Hunkydory Garden Vase card kit. I thought how pretty they were so bought them, brought them home and made them up. 

 

Aren't they pretty?  They come with envelopes but I made little boxes for them and then took them to the hospice shop in the village where I live.

Hope you're all enjoying this extended Bank Holiday Weekend :) xx

Happy Birthday Mum

It's my mum's birthday today and this is the card I made for her.

It's a large 8" x 8" centre step card and the flowers are handmade. The gorgeous backing paper is from the Papermania Rose Garden paper pack.

Happy Birthday Mum. Love you lots xx

Batchelors Button

This gorgeous Batchelors Button (Cornflower) image is from Just Inklined. 

I coloured it as usual with Promarkers and used my new embossing folder which is from the Beatrix Potter range. The gorgeous backing paper is from a pad I had given (along with a dozen or so more pads) but unfortunately there's no front or back cover on it so I haven't a clue where it originates from!! Have a lovely weekend whatever you're doing and I'll see you back here tomorrow for the monthly Just Inklined Blog Hop :) xx

And here's Podge

Let me introduce you to Podge, the little boy half of Pickles and Podge from La Pashe. Isn't he lovely?

I just made a z-fold card for this one and again kept it very simple using red cardstock and a bit of white ribbon. Easy peasy!! Have a great weekend whatever you're doing xx 

Here's Pickles

Let me introduce Pickles, the little girl half of Pickles and Podge, the fabulous new decoupage range from La Pashe.

I've kept my card very simple using a bit of colour co-ordinated card and a few gems just to show that you can make a lovely card just using the basic elements from the A4 decoupage sheet. I'll be back tomorrow to show you Podge, the little boy half of these gorgeous little cuties. See you then xx

Anemone Cluster

These gorgeous anemones are one of the new images from Just Inklined and as usual were coloured with Promarkers.

The lovely backing paper is from the "Isabelle" First Edition paper pad and because of the poor lighting you can't see the gorgeous glitter on it!! Have a lovely weekend whatever you're up to!! xx

Snowdrops

These gorgeous snowdrops are one of the new images from Just Inklined.

So very, very easy to colour using just three colours: Pear Green, Lime Green and Lime Zest (oh and a tiny bit of yellow for the centre of the snowdrops).
The backing sheet is from a pad I've had for ages and the ribbon started life white but I coloured it in with a Promarker to match the rest of the card.

See you soon xx

Wedding Card

I was asked by a friend to make a wedding card for her son and bride-to-be. No problem I thought, until she told me what she wanted on it!!

They're both in the navy and are based in Cornwall so she wanted something with those elements on, oh and they also have a little brown cocker spaniel called Jasper (could I include him as well!!!). Didn't want much did she? Lol

So I got my thinking cap on because I wanted the card to look classy and not tacky and overdone. I found a perfect gold coloured navy insignia on the web and then a map of Cornwall which I watermarked and changed the colour of and put behind the text, and as for the dog ... I put him on the back of the card in a corner!!!

She absolutely loved it and so did the Bride and Groom.
Congratulations David and Kelly and I wish you both all the luck and happiness in the world xx

Bluebell Cluster

This gorgeous Bluebell Cluster is one of the new images from Just Inklined.

A very simple card using this embossing folder, some lovely pearlised cardstock and coloured with Promarkers.

See you soon xx

Paper Bows

I came across a tutorial for these fabulous paper bows and just had to give them a go!!

The original tutorial here was for a 6" x 6" piece of paper but I wanted something smaller so the one's I've made are 3" x 3". While very easy to make, because they were smaller they were a bit fiddly, but I think they're fabulous and I can see me making lots of these and not just for cards!!

Hope you've all had a good Bank Holiday despite the yukky weather!! xx

Just for You

A very simple card using the gorgeous Spring Time Forever Friends range.

Happy Easter everyone :)xx

Bramble Blossom

This gorgeous Bramble Blossom image is only available on "The Next Big Thing" CD from Just Inklined.

I coloured it with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and the lovely gingham backing paper is from the Papermania Capsule Boysenberry pad.

See you next time xx

Just Inklined to Hop

Hi and welcome to this month's Just Inklined blog hop. Our host this month is Jak and her chosen theme is "Pleats".

For my card I used this fantastic Clematis image and coloured it with Promarkers. I think the rest is fairly self explanatory!! lol
