Wardrobe cards!

I was recently offered to trial a new product, these adorable wardrobe cards form the very talented Imogen at Mementoes In Time. They were fun and easy to do, I can't recommend them highly enough! Have a look, I did a couple I thought I could use as baby cards and others for more grown up birthdays. Check out her webstore (in particular, I LOVE the Wedding wardrobe card) and madeit shops....

But now, with both open and shut doors for the full effect, here is my handiwork....

For the babies.....

Card making spree!

 I have put away the sewing machine for a little bit and my desk is covered with card making paraphenalia as my stock were getting low, I am stocking up! Plus there are a few special birthdays coming up I need specific cards for, not that I have done any of those yet! For now here are a few of the others....

I think this green and purple card is my most favourite one yet.

Using cute little hole-punch type birdies....

This one below uses the leaves and birdie wings of the one above, clever huh?! Only I can't lay claim to that idea, I completely 'borrowed' that one from someone else, thanks Elli!

...and a few more thousand cupcake cards 'cause I am obsessed with them!

Baby boy card

Pardon the repition of stamps and ideas, am mostly using this blog as a way of cataloguing my card ideas for future use! Plus there are no more babies due for a while, so this should be the last for a little bit!

Happy Mothers Day

I whipped up these cards tonight for the mother and MIL for tomorrow, so scuse the awful night light shots!

Hope Mothers Day is special for you and yours

About time for a boy card...

After all that pink, finally a chance to use some blue!

Sugar and Spice

and all things nice. All the babies around us have been born, and it was girls all the way. So this ends the constant bombadment of girls cards....for now at least!

It's a girl card

A dear friend had her 3rd baby yesterday and I whipped up this card in preparation for her, as I new the little darling was going to be a girl. I am expanding out from baby shower cards now and I am planning never to buy a baby card again now that I have this cute little pram stamp! There will be a boy version to follow soon I am sure as there are 2 more babies in our little circle due in the next fortnight!

Another baby card....girl themed

Baby shower card

I have been invited to a baby shower in a couple of weeks, so thought I'd have a go at a gender neutral baby shower card. The recipient makes cards herself that are amazing, so hopefully mine will pass muster! And it has been weeks since I posted here so I thought I should get the creative ball rolling again now that we are in a new year!

Cupcake Cards

I am back into my cardmaking now after drastically updating my supplies and getting a fabulous stamp cleaner which has improved my life no end! These cupcake stamps I recently acquired and I am just in love with them! Plus, finally, an excuse to break out my 72 Derwent Studio pencils!

And yes, those little cupcakes on the lower card are individually cut out, raised once paper tolle stlye and have beads as their icing, thanks for asking....

Handmade cards

I attended a card making (stamping) class yesterday and these were the result. I used to do cardmaking and stamping years ago and am now keen to get back into it. These were very easy, once you have the design it doesn't take long to assemble at all. The materials and methods have changed so much since I started years ago, my enthusiasm is now renewed. I think it is lovely to make a card for special occasions like births and birthdays, although I am not sure I'll be making the swag of Christmas cards required for my ever growing list this year.....

I ordered a swag of new stuff to make my cardmaking life easier, so stay tuned for further efforts!
