A birthday card for a friend

I made this card for an old school friend. It uses another 'starving artistamp' stamp and a stamps away Happy Birthday stamp.

Starving Artistamp card

I recently discovered Starving Artistamps and their 'one million stamps project'. So I bought a couple of lucky dip stamps. I actually ended up with three somehow! The stamp below is one of them. I think it's a rat- not too sure :). But it really worked on a card for my nephews 5th birthday which was on Friday.

2nd birthday cards

The girls went to their first birthday party at the toddler group. It was for one of their little friends and they really enjoyed, but were very hyper from all the sugar later on!

The card I made for her is below. The paper I used is from 'Jack's World' by Cosmo Cricket and I used Swiss Dots embossing folder, and Sissix 'Wingo Zingo' decorative strip die. The '2' came from 'Harmony' cuttlebug die set.

A friends son is also turning two in a couple of weeks time, and this was quite challenge as I haven't made very many male cards.

The paper used came from a K & Co 'Hopscotch' 6x6 pad. I used Cuttlebug scalloped square and tiny tag dies. The trusty Studio G cheapy alpha stamps were used once again!

New Cards and Scrapbooking

I've found out that I've won a competition on UKScrappers. One of the cards below was chosen as the August card challenge winner. While it's only a small challenge, I'm still chuffed!

Some other stuff I've been doing...

I used Sugar Nellie, October Afternoon and Studio G alphabet stamps on this card. The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste collection. I've had the twine forever which came from Ikea.

New cards and a layout

The layout was done for a future challenge set by my team at UKScrappers

These are cards I've been working on. I've several more that I need to photograph. The stamps are by Magnolia, and the alphabet stamps are the 99p ones by Studio G/ Hampton Art. I've watercolouring the images, but it is hit and miss depending on the card used.

2 in one day!
