Teenager card and full front shaker!!

I needed to make some family birthday cards recently , this first one for a sweet 4 year old.  I really wanted to make a full front shaker and as this little boy loves monsters I went with this patterned paper I had in my stash. I die cut it to shape and used lots of sparkly sequins.

Such a fun easy card to make and Harrison loved it.  I am adding this card to the "Anything goes" challenge over at the Simon Says Wednesday challenge. 

This second card is for a youngster just becoming a teenager, again this was simple to make, I found the image on the internet printed, coloured and fussy cut it.  I had the background paper in my stash, added the sparkly dots and layered the skater girl up on foam tape for some dimension.

 I will also add this card to the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge.

Off to make some more Christmas cards now as I still need a few more.  Have a great weekend.

Childs Shaker Birthday

Love making Shaker cards, and I knew this " Critter Crowd" stamp from Simon Says would be perfect for one.   I stamped and coloured the image with Zig markers and then fussy cut.  The sentiment is also from Simon Says, I added these to my frame die cut and added lots of sparkly sequins for the shaker element.

I shall add this card to both the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Something Metallic" as my sequins are metallic.  Also the Simon Says Flickr Challenge "Anything Goes".

Hope you are having a good week, our lockdown is starting to ease off a bit and we have been able to get out a bit more.  Looking forward to some shops opening next week and our little town can get back to some sort of normality!

Card for Joni !

My son asked me to make a Birthday card for his friends little girl who is 4 next week.  I made her big sister a shaker card back in September and it proved a huge success so I decided to make Joni one too.  I won this older set of stamps "Surf and Turf"from Paper Smooches a while back and thought it would fit the bill perfectly.  I cut the 4 using my Silhouette machine then coloured the card with Distress Oxide Salty Ocean splashing with water to create the sea effect.  Then I coloured and fussy cut the fish to add to the card, the sentiment is computer generated.

I am adding this card to this weeks challenge at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Animal Antics"

I also found time to play with my new Winter Flowers stamp set from Simon Says, I stamped and embossed in white onto watercolour paper then randomly painted with my Zig Brush markers and lots of water. I then die cut the letters using Altenew's Bold Alphabet dies. Just added some sequins for sparkle! I shall add this card to the current Simon Says Flickr group challenge "Anything Goes"

Hope you have a great weekend.

Up for a challenge!

My first love when making cards is  flowery and girly but I am always up for a challenge.  After seeing that this weeks Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says is "Animal Magic" I knew I would have to go out of my comfort zone lol!  I do always need cards for children so this is what I came up with a monkey shaker!!

Its a simple card using Simon Says die cuts and lots of sequins and surprise, surprise I enjoyed making it.

Have a great weekend
