Mermaid and turtle

I went through the photos I’ve taken of the cards made over this summer and realised I have made quite a few more than I had thought. This means I am miles behind posting them here on the blog, so it’s about time I upped the frequency on putting them up. The recent two-week gap in posting them was due to a holiday, and I hadn’t scheduled any. However, back to work and back to blogging this week.

This first one is inspired by summer. I have used a pre-coloured topper by The Hobby House, a Sylvia Zet image. I distress inked the image around the edge and made an easel card out of it. The flowers, ribbon and bow are all by Wild Orchid Crafts. The sea shells were bought in a shop called Black Design and the leaves were made with a Martha Stewart puncher.

Baby birthday

There is no challenge this month at The Hobby House. We do, however, still add inspirational pieces and I have made this one using one of the new toppers in The Hobby House collection. Apart from the topper, I have also used pearls, ribbon and flowers from The Hobby House. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat.

April showers

April already. That means another challenge is on its way at The Hobby House! The theme for this month’s challenge is Anything Goes where you have to use one of the new toppers. There are loads of sweet new toppers available at their shop. Can’t wait to get my hands on some of these!

For my inspirational post this time I have used one of the Wee Stamps toppers from The Hobby House. The ribbon, pearls and roses are also from there. I have used paper from First Edition Paper, a Martha Stewart puncher for the leaves and Tim Holtz liquid pearls for the rain effect.

Party mice

All out of ideas for another masculine card, I decided to instead go with something reasonably neutral. The recipient of this card is quite fond of green, so that was an obvious choice. Little did I know when I started that I would end up with orange of all colours! Anyway, the card was made and it’s an easel card!
