Wild About You

Happy Birthday Alfie

Today is my Godson's 2nd birthday and to celebrate, made a card to mark his special day. Decided to use the retired stamp set "Wild About You" as it makes for a fun children's card. For the top part of the card, have used the Schoolbook Serif Numbers stamp set to create a fun numbered background stamped in Versamark using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.

Wild About You


Stamps: Wild About You (retired), Schoolbook Serif Numbers and Family Phrases.
Cardstock: Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. Designer Series Paper - Junior Varsity (retired).
Inkpad: Pumpkin Pie, Close To Cocoa, Green Galore. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Striped Grosgrain Ribbon - Pumpkin Pie, Stampin' Write Marker - Chocolate Chip, Embossing Buddy, White Embossing Powder, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and Dimensionals. Circle Nestabilities.

Hope you like the card. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time.

Baby's 1st Birthday!

Hi all,

Hope your day's been okay and you're looking forward to the weekend now :) I can't believe it's come around so quickly already!

Found a spare moment and thought I'd start to upload a few baby cards that I've been commissioned for recently using Stampin' Up! stamp sets, buttons and various Designer Series Paper. Check out Stampin' Up! May Offer as you still have until 31 May to buy three packs of Designer Series Paper and choose a fourth pack for free! There's no limit to what you can do with the DSP - I have used these patterned papers for my cardmaking, but you can use it for any scrapbooking layouts, mini albums, 3D projects - whatever takes your fancy :)

Hope you like the below baby cards, enjoy!

Baby Girl's 1st Birthday


This card is a favourite of mine and was featured last month when this card was one of three cards made in my workshop. I have recreated this card using "Wild About You" stamp set and "Schoolbook Serif Alphabet" for the title.

Boy's 1st Birthday Cards
Here's a few boy cards below, making each one slightly different using the giraffe stamp from "Wild About You" stamp set:

Busy Bee...

Hi all,

Well, hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend. As you know, I've been rather busy making an assortment of greeting cards so here are just a few to show you.

Baby Girl Card



Thank You Card - Outside

Thank You Card - Inside (Normally only insert one layer of whisper white cardstock to the inside of a card, but there's lots of people that will be signing this one, hence the double layer).
