Happy Birthday Girl


I took part in the Progressive Freebie challenge at Outlawz last month so was given this image for April. It is Sassy Big Eye Girl Sorry Sally from Oddball Art Co. It comes with 3 sorry sentiments and a heart so quite a versatile set. The image is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers

There is a challenge for everyday of the week at Outlawz as well as extras such as use your stash and the progressive freebie. It really is a great place to fire your creativity.

I used the Wednesday sketch from Outlawz for the layout, flipping it to suit the placement of the sentiment on the left hand side of the image.


All papers are from my scraps drawers and matched with the colour scheme of black and red. The red glitter card was recycled from a Christmas card. The star is hand cut, I was dead chuffed how neat that turned out.

The star theme was also carried through to the sentiment and the silver charm. Look at me actually using embellishments instead of hoarding them.


Materials Used in this Project are as follows:- 
Card size –  A5
Images – Sassy Big Eye Girl Sorry Sally by Oddball Art Co.
Paper – All from my scraps drawer
Sentiment – Self adhesive sticker from a DCWV card pack

Good Luck Giraffe


My hubby asked me to make a leaving card for a work colleague who is moving on to pastures new. She loves giraffes and I was asked to add one to it. I myself love giraffes and already had this little cutie coloured so it was fairly quick to put together.

The image is Ollie the Giraffe from Limited Runs Digital Stamps. I have had it some time and cannot see on their site any more. It is coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers. here is some Sakura glitter pen added to the dots and glossy accents to the eyes to make them shiny. He was fussy cut and mounted on 3d foam.


For the layout I used the current sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. The paper is giraffe themed from my stash, I think it may have been a magazine freebie. The panel Ollie is mounted on was recycled from and old greetings card, cut into shape to match the sketch and distressed the edge with an ink pad. This is also layered up on foam squares.

The sentiment is mounted onto layers of the same paper and card.

To finish I added some paper flowers and gems to add a bit of girly twinkle.


Materials Used in this Project are as follows:- 
Card size – 5" x 5"
Images – Ollie The Giraffe - Limited Runs Digital Stamps
Paper – Magazine Freebie
Sentiment – Kanban

Happy Mother's Day


This is the card I have made for my Mother in Law as today is Mother’s Day in the UK.
I was a bit close to the wire as I finished it this morning !


I started with a Sizzix Framelits die cut Blossom Frames. 


This is what it looks like when you have cut it. I bought it in the sale on the Sizzix site as I thought would look pretty if it was layered and decorated with a bit of bling.



I cut it from strong card and used my Promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour them in. If I am being honest I totally underestimated how long it would take to colour and create the different layers.

I added Stickles glue to some flowers, gems, pears and the big flower centres are from a decorative trim that was in the bridal section of the Range.

The sentiment is Female Occasions Sizzix Thinlits die set. The leaves are from a Funky Floral #2 set and the butterfly is a 3 part die from the Die and stamp combo Let’s Celebrate. I love how ornate it is and it cut perfectly.

The card layout was inspired by the current sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday which I rotated to fit the oval frame.



Both the papers are handmade mulberry paper which have got floral inclusions in them which was inspired by a challenge at Outlawz group. I am sure there are many crafters who have had some in our stash for years and not used it for a long while….

Materials Used in this Project are as follows:- 
Card size – 8 x 8”
Paper – Handmade Mulberry paper
Sentiment – Female Occasions die set Sizzix
Tools – Promarkers & Flexmarkers, Sizzlits Let’s Celebrate dies, Sizzix Framelits Blossom Frame, Funky Floral #2
Techniques – Die cutting
Embellishments - Stickles glitter glue, pearls, gems, hearts, trim from The Range
