Summer flowers

A day off work! Now that is something I definitely need. Last weekend was spent colouring in several recently purchased digital stamps from Saturated Canary and Sylvia Zet. It has been quite some time since I last coloured something. I do love their images. Hopefully I have time to make some cards with them today or at the weekend at least. Perhaps I even have time to colour some more in!

Today’s card is made using a pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley and flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts. The ribbon is from a local shop and as usual I cannot remember what make the papers are. Sorry!

Country cupcake

Almost weekend. I am actually looking forward to tomorrow. Some ladies at work have decided to do a hobby day. It will be interesting to see what they all make, and have some time to sit and craft. I have never been to anything like this, so I am all curious about it!

A colourful image sometimes deserves a colourful card. I had this cupcake themed paper in one of my Papermania pads and the colour matched the image perfectly. I decided to frame it with the pinky-red colour of the image and used a similar colour to frame the image. What I used was actually a cupcake wrapper, or whatever they are called. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the punches by Martha Stewart, the card base from Craftwork Cards and the image from Lili of the Valley.

Baby pram

There is no challenge at The Hobby House this month. We have taken an early summer leave from the challenges, but the plan is to return to challenges once the (hopefully) lovely summer is over!

I have made a card using pink Papermania paper and green paper I don’t remember where is from as I’ve had it for several years now. That sentence there just made me realise how long I’ve been making cards for now! Cool, heh. Anyway, back to the card… The pre-coloured adorable topper is by The Hobby House, as are the flowers, pearls and the ribbon. I used a Martha Steward puncher for the flowers.

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.

Mid-spring

Last day of April. We’ve had some absolutely lovely days lately, but yesterday the harsh reminder that we live in Norway and not by the Mediterranian hit hard. It was freezing! Hopefully May will bring more summer!

Today I have a card made with a Craftwork Cards card blank, card from First Edition Paper. A Papermania doily, a pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley. I’ve had the rhinestones for so long I don’t remember where I got them from, but the ribbon is from a local shop and all the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
