Sports & Hobbies WLSC

  Hi Everyone my DT make today is for

We Love Stamping

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Anesha. 

Sports & Hobbies

 

 I have very few sports stamps, in fact just one set, I've had for years. I've not used this set of images, so decided to follow a sketch and case a card that was shown on the back of the stamps package.

 

I firstly stamped the pins, I was going to write the Happy onto the pins, but I'm a bit shaky of late, so decided to see if my Silhouette could cut, out of card, 5mm x 7mm letters. It did, incredible really, I'm always impressed how good it is. I added them to the pins. 

 

Next I die cut the circle for them and die cut a paper from a pad for the larger circle, with the same colours, that I had decided on. 

 

For the background I stamped the ball over the card and die cut it to fit the base card, it was added to it.

 

Next the circles were glued together, and edged with the ball layer. The pins were added, one sideways, as if it was hit by the ball. I then added a die cut orange piece of card and stamped the birthday on it. Adding the ball.

Penguin Birthday

Hi Everyone, I had to make another birthday card, and used another digital stamp. I used papers from a pad I fancied, and layered them onto plain paper that matched. I then sent the image into Silhouette and print and cut it 3 times. Already having made the birthday wishes circle awhile ago, I then added the shape of the penguin with the balloons merging them, so the circle incorporated the shape of the balloons. Something like masking!

Anyway, the penguin was coloured with marker pens, I then coloured the wishes on the shape and added the penguin image to the layer. With my mind not on things, and mojo still absent, I'm happy to say it all came together quite quickly, surprisingly, and I like the nearly monochrome look too.

Hearts Mid Month WLSC

  Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping  

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Myself 

Hearts

 

February is the time of professing our love, as I said in my previous WLSC post, but it can be for any occasion. I have two occasions today. I didn't have any heart stamps that were of the right size, so I drew them instead. I then ordered some, well you have to don't you?

 

Firstly, I will show you the card I did with my new stamps. The stamps weren't separate as I thought, but that didn't matter, I used them for an Anniversary card, thinking of our 60th in June. 

 

I went through some papers and found a spotted paper I liked and stamped onto it, then embossed in gold. I had found a banner in some very old stamps and used that with the Anniversary greeting that came with it. 

 

Next I attached it to gold mirror card and then to the base card, a very simple card. I thought I could add the year numbers on top of the banner, there are a few special anniversaries in the family this year, maybe using it for one of those.

 This is the card I drew hearts. I wanted a thank you card for a neighbour who has been wonderful and above helpful for me. I cut a piece of card, then drew some lines and 3 hearts with stems. Next I coloured them with 3 different reds, a combination I saw on the web, which I liked. I then used 3 different greens for the stems. 

 

I had already used a sentiment for my last card from this set, so decided to use two more from it. I stamped them to suit, as I thought, then layered them onto red paper which were attached to the base card.

All things New WLSC

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping  

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Mervi  

All Things New

 

I haven't bought any stamps in a while, but these are unused, so new? I found some "happy paper" and went with the colours of that. 

 

The stamps were stamped onto a square die-cut white card and coloured to match the paper. I found a tiny birthday greeting in older stamps, unused, and stamped and coloured the background, then cut it to fit onto the bottle. I hope it works, and my niece won't mind the tiny hand cut sentiment.  Next, the sentiment was stamped to fit inside the square, and I applied ink around the edge.

 

The banner was stamped and die-cut, again with an older, unused stamp and die, then coloured. I attached the paper to a piece of matching plain paper, which was glued to the base card. The square and banner were attached with 3D pads to the patterned paper. I then added 3D glaze to the bottle, the glass, and the stars, which has given them a lovely shine.

 My DT card today is for 

The Male Room   

It is my #3 brother's 86th birthday, so I made this card for him. I die cut the man 3 times and layered him, then looked for some paper. I found this striped paper, and embossed it with a happy birthday embossing folding, then layered onto a striped grey paper, and added to the base layer. The words, I didn't think, stood out enough so I rubbed an ink pad over them. 

The die cut man was added onto a line within the ef words. The tag was printed and cut with the Silhouette and layered 3 times, I then inked the edge. I added a safety pin, also cut out with my Silhouette. Then attached to the front of the card.  I hope my brother likes it.

Mid month Four Legged Friends WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Pinky of  

Four Legged Friends

  

 

 A fun card today, based on a sketch, a change for me. I stamped the goat and the sentiment, coloured it with DI's, cut it out and inked around the edge of the goat and the card. I went looking for some paper to match, I should have chosen the paper first, but I was lucky to find some in my stash. It was cut it out, and then went looking in my Silhouette files for a border and found this one, that I cut down to fit. I cut it out of matching plainish paper, it's got little dots in it. They were all attached to the base card matching the sketch. Then I decided to add 3D gloss to the horns and eyes. A quick and quite simple card.

Relax birthday

 Hi Everyone, a card for a nieces husband, I was stumped as to what to make, I saw a card on the web, loved the idea of the sentiment, so I cased it. I went through my files to see what I could find and found this chair. It was a digital stamp already coloured black, but I changed it to blue as I had found a paper pad that could be used for it. I printed out the chair and die cut it, I printed the sentiment and die cut that, then die cut the paper. I added blue Oxide ink to the edges of the white pieces of card, then added all of them to the base card. I kept it flat for overseas post.

Gift packs & a card

I just popped in to show you my latest makes, I've not been good at blogging or making stuff, apologies. Here are a few boxes, that I saw with Pinky and made them representing my birthday cake, from me to my walker group, I bought some Mr Kipling brownie cakes and 2 of them fitted in so well. They were appreciated, as just a little fun gift. The photo shows a few of them, I actually made 10. They were made with a Craft Sensations Kids paper pad.

I then had to make a card for my God Son's son, lacking mojo big time, I went on to the web looking for male cards and saw a few candle cards. I chose a blue patterned card and went to my Silhouette and cut the rectangles, I then added dots of glue and added gold embossing powder on the gold bits in the card. Having a flame design in my files and using gold mirror card and orange card, the flames were cut too. They were 3D'd to the base card, and after they were added I drew a wick on each one. A piece of vellum was cut and I added a die cut sentiment.

Geometric TMR

 My DT card today is for 

I struggled with this theme, last time I used it, so went online, to get some ideas. I saw many chevron shaped cards, and as I haven't done a fold for an age, I decided to give it a go. 

Going through my paper pads, I came across a double sided pattern that I thought was suitable for the male species, so I cut the shapes needed, folded them and placed them onto a 6x6 card. They didn't fit as I wanted, so I cut a piece of card to fit them, then decided to emboss it. The pieces were arranged onto the embossed card, then the sentiment was stamped onto the sentiment shape. I decided to edge the shapes with the same paper. They were then added to the base card. Something I thought would be difficult, in the end was quite easy, thanks to Pinterest.
