Rubber Romance

This is the first time i have used a Rubber Romance stamp and have to say i am impressed, they stamp beautifully ,giving a nice crisp clear impression. This stamp is called Vivian. It took me all of 15 minutes to put this card together, as just basic card and flowers to decorate. The little circles have been made with SU! punches with a little bit of bling in the middle. The flower is one from my stash with retro punched flowers in matching card added to the middle. The greeting stamp is from Hobby art my friend Linda kindly stamped me some of these, they are nice big bold greeting stamps. Image was coloured with the usual PM's.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend :) Especially those going to Harrogate x

How cute

Once again another CB card made with 'Dog and bird' stamp coloured with PM's. I stamped some paws and added them to the side as extra embellishments, the greeting stamp is from the 'Seven sentiments set' i do like these stamps as a little different from the usual greetings stamps.
The paper is K&Co, ribbon is velvet, flower is prima all available from 'Cuddly Buddly' at a very reasonable price and very low P&P, so do pop along and take a peek.

Stamp with Us

Wouldn't you just love to get your hand on these fab Stampin Up! goodies? I know i would :)
This is a new blog called 'Stamp With Us' that will go live on 1st April, so looking forward to taking part in the challenges set by the design team. Having joined Jules stampin 10 group last year i am always looking for inspiration and ideas.

Highland Pup

Here is another stamp using the Highland pup stamp from Cuddly Buddly, coloured once again with promarkers but in different colours. The papers are from the violet fairy paper collection, i like the colours in this selection of papers, turquoise and purple. The flowers is prima and the flourishes have been done by twirling paper around a pencil.

Happy Days

This is another card i have made for the gallery over at Cuddly Buddly. I have used Teddy patchwork heart stamp coloured with Promarkers, designer papers are patchwork papers pink. I have also used the daisy patch set of rubber stamps in the top corner, stamped in pink and added a few little gems. The little border at the bottom has been punched with my friskers punch. The teddy has been cut out using my nesties label dies from Spellbinder, keep an eye out on CB as Kim will shortly be stocking these.

Highland Pup

I have been busy making a few cards for the Cuddly Buddly gallery and thought i would share a few with you :) This is a lovely bright card, just so right for spring. The papers are K&Co, flowers are prima.This lil cute doggie is called Highland pup designed by Kim at Cuddly buddly, isn't he sweet. I have coloured him with Promarkers, little bit of layering on the flower. The greeting stamp is from the Puppy greetings set. The white stitching has been done with gel pen, thought it looked quite effective.
Well i hope you are all well in blog land?? I am off work this week so hope to get some cards made, although confess have been right off card making :( I am hoping that my trip to the NEC on Sunday will revive my mojo :) Is anyone else going Sunday??
Last but by no means least its my friend Helen's Birthday today, so "Happy Birthday" i hope you have a lovely day and have enjoyed your pre birthday treat this weekend :)
