Caravanette card

Hi Everyone, i loved doing this card, i love caravanettes, not sure why i dont drive, have never had one in the family, but i just think they are so cute, so when i got this stamp set by hot off the press called Life`s an Adventure i immediately zeroed in on the caravanette,

 its great, so i used a card base of 6 x 4
a layer of red cardstock of 5 7\8 x 3 7\8
and another white layer measuring 5 1\2 x 3 1\2
I then stamped the caravanette, the compass and the sentiment on the front and using colouring pens spent 10 minutes colouring it in, i love colouring its like when i was a child i loved colouring, couldnt draw for toffee, but i loved being bought a colouring book lol, so whenever i get the chance i love relaxing and colouring in ,

 hope you like it, happy crafting, take care love ness xx

Submarine Card!

Hi everyone, today on twitter (11.4.18 ) apparently is #submarineday, so i decided to make a fun card! 😁 

i had never made a submarine card before so i thought it would be fun to try

card base 5 3/4 x 4

mat layer 3 7/8 x 5 5/8 

I had a scalloped circle die 

1 slightly larger normal circle die

I had a memento dew drop bahama blue ink 💙

firstly i dragged the blue ink across the matt layer and then i cut out a circle using the normal shaped circle die 

I then got a spare piece of cardstock and die cut another scalloped circle  and placed a smaller circle die inside it to make a circle with a scalloped edge

I then cut a square piece of acetate just bigger than the circle, and adhered it to the back of the  inked mat layer, using double sided tape , 

i then used liquid glue onto the back of the scalloped die cut circle and adhered it to the front of the die cut mat layer, 

I then used memento dandelion dew drop ink 💛 and dragged it across a piece of white cardstock, and free hand, i drew a small submarine, and also two little fish 🐟🐟 which i then fussy cut around and then adhered it to the base cardstock. I then used foam double sided tape and placed this along the back of the blue inked cardstock, the side with the acetate on it.  Using the dew drop bahama blue ink i dragged it across the  front of the base cardstock in a semi circle motion, to make it look like waves, and then I stuck the submarine and fish onto the base cardstock,  then i peeled off the backing on the foam double sided tape, i adhered it to the front of the base cardstock, this makes the front mat layer stand off the page, and the acetate makes it look like you are looking through a window and can see under the sea. 🌊

I hope you like it, seeing as it is the first time i have ever drawn a submarine, i think it looks pretty good, and with the sentiment stamped on i think it is a cute card, i hope you like it too! 😤

Happy crafting! 😊

Blossom Birthday Card

Hi everyone! 😊
What a miserable day, got back in early and thought will get on with making some cards, thought i would do some stamping for a change, so i made my white card base at 5 3/4 x/5 3/4
then i used some patterned paper and made a mat layer at 5 1/2 x 5 1/2
then i cut another mat layer in white cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4
I then decided to use some memento dew drop inks, id seen a video on youtube where maymaymade it had used some dew drop inks and i thought my hero arts tall blossom wood mount stamp would be great for this technique, so i picked 4 colours,
new sprout, angel pink, summer sky, and dandelion, i ran them across my cardstock in an arc, it doesnt matter that it isnt uniform,

then using stampinup archival black ink i stamped the tall blossoms ontop of the dew drop ink,

i then cut a piece of cardstock and stamped happy birthday on it and adhered it to the top layer with foam double sided tape
I think it looks great, is so easy to do, am happy with how this turned out what do you think? i hope you like it too 😉

take care, happy crafting! 😁
Love Nessie 💚

Dew Drop Bunny

Hi eeryone, boy did i have fun with this one, so cute for easter, i bought this bunny stamp from ebay, boy is it cute, 🐇😀
my base layer is 5 7/8 x 4 1/8
my mat layer is 5 3/4 x 4
I used again my dew drop inks, from the oh baby set, the colours are
angel pink, summer sky and one other called dandelion 💛
I dragged them across the page in an arc, just once, lightly but forcefully
i then used the stampinup archival black in and using the ebay bunny stamp i stamped the bunny on top of the dew drop ink, then using the hello easter stamp set from stampinup i stamped the happy easter sentiment directly onto the card.

I then got some gold ribbon and putting a little double sided tape on it i adhered it to the back of my mat layer and then tied it around the front, and to secure the ribbon in place , i placed a small glue dot underneath the ribbon just to keep it in place. what do you thnk, i love it, its cute and the colours pop out at you, i hope you like it,

Happy crafting! 😊 

take care,
