With Love, Mom

When I said we were done with Mother's Day cards.. I lied.. *grin*

I hope you guys don't get sick of all the pink and froofroo, I know it's not really what my blog is known for.. LOL!! So onwards..

I still have a few designs to share with you all. This being the first. 

Cake. Pink. Froofroo!! I had a blast colouring up that cake - (IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO MAKES THAT STAMP PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have no packaging for it!)

I went a little crazy with my Fireworks! Added a bunch of buttons and liquid pearls and all the usual goodness!!

That's all I got today.. but I'll be back! xo

Footy Daddy

HAPPY MONDAY!! Only FIVE days til Valentine's! Hah! Are you all ready, set, GO?! I sure hope so.

.. but until then, let's get down to some real stuff..

Some real men's stuff!!

I know a lot of card makers are absolutely horrified at the thought of creating male cards. I won't lie, I was too - but that was long ago. Now I embrace the challenge!! 

This was a football themed male card - standard, right?

I started by finding out the recipeitnys favourite team and built my card around that.

I laid down some white woodgrain patterned paper from a Teresa Collins pack.. and then went hunting in my stash for something a little different.. and come across some Hamly? Hambly? transparencies I bought a while a go.. that (I won't lie) had forgotten I even owned!! That had to be sliced up and used on the card. The perfect black brick pattern.

I then kept the rest of the card pretty simple with navy blue and vellum accents and silver embossing.

DONE!

Never be afraid to work outside of your comfy little box. I love flowers, buttons, pearls and ribbon as much as the next card maker - but sometimes males aren't always into that stuff. Bear that in mind when trying to create something special.

That's all from me today. I think most of the posts the rest of the week are gonna be all lovey dovey - so please stay tuned for the run up the Valentine's Day here at Cartolinas. xo

50th Birthday Wishes

I'm starting off the week, with the aim of posting a little something each day! The photos of my creations are starting to stack back up in my projects album on my already rammed laptop, so I'm hoping to share them all with you guys so I can begin to free up a little more memory. That's the plan anyway. Sounds good in theory, right?

So I thought I'd begin with a card I made at the end of December for a lovely lady who has her birthday at two minutes past midnight on New Years Day. I know!! Beautiful timing on her Mothers part! LOL.

Everyone from work chipped in to give her some money towards her holiday - which was a birthday present from her husband.. how lovely?! So I decided to make a matching card and money wallet. This was the perfect opportunity to try out my new WRMK Envelope Board. It worked a charm.

You can create matching envelopes til your heart's content! It's super fun, and super quick.

As for the main card, this was the first time I got to try out my Cameo. I created the large numbers using a font I already had on my computer. I enlarged the letters to about 3.5" and cut them from some pretty, matching, paper. Voila.

I kept the colours pretty neutral with pops of yellow and aqua. I added a huge gold bow (using up the last of that ribbon - go me - and created a spray of flowers in the opposite corner! I had loads of fun creating this set, and everyone at work loved it too - especially the recipient. That's what it's all about, right?

Thank you for stopping by today. I'll be back tomorrow with another installment of papercrafting goodness! Until then, enjoy the rest of your Monday! :) xo

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday

It has been quite an afternoon I've had, although.. to be honest it started at about 11 o'clock this morning when my internet went down.

I was feeling ruthless, so decided to have a massive clear out in my room. Two and a bit bin bags later I'm done. I've scrubbed the place from top to bottom, all that is left is fresh bedsheets for tonight and I'm done.

For those of you who don't know, my craftroom is actually my bedroom. I have a big corner desk, a bunch of plastic drawer stacks, some shelves, a mirror and a bed. I seem to get by.. somehow.

I threw away a bunch of everyday crap that I've been holding onto for absolutely no reason what so ever, loads of jewelery that I've either never worn or has tarnished over time, loads of scrap bits paper that are no good to anyone and a heap of other junk. I mean really, I wouldn't class myself as a hoarder, but when I have days like this I really begin to question myself! Hah!

I should have really taken before and after pictures to show you all. I honestly don't know where I keep all the stuff!! 

So, as this is a crafting blog after all, I thought I'd share a card with you that I made earlier in the week for my boyfriend to give to someone. 

It was their birthday, as is obvious from the card and they were male, also obvious.

I used a bunch of mishmash products on this creation:

Embossing folder from SU!

Cardstock from Papercuts and Papermania

Stamps from Clearly Besotted and Hero Arts

Inks from Memento

Brads from Doodlebug

Button from My Mums Craft Shop

 I wanted to keep the card pretty CAS.. this isn't many peoples idea of CAS, but hell.. it's a lot less layered that I usually go for, so I'll stick with that excuse.

I used a new product I bought last year and only just got around to using now, it's Metallic Gilding Wax from Creative Expressions. I added just a tiny bit around the main focus on the card, you can just pick up a little hint of it here and there on the hexagons. I love it!

So, that's all from me tonight. I'm off to put away the cleaning products, bin the bags and get my chair back in from the landing! :) Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! :)

It's Free Week at MMCS

.. so I decided to take it upon myself to show you all a sneak.. of some new up and coming products to My Mum's Craft Shop!!

Kitty is absolutely spoiling us all with the new products she'll be stocking in the store, so keep your eyes peeled!! 

Today, I thought I'd show you a card using

The Greeting Farm - Anya Styles

This is one of many larger style stamps from The Greeting Farm.

So far, there are six to add to your collection

- Anya Celebrates

- Anya Strolls

- Anya Blooms

- Anya Styles

- Anya Lifts

- Anya Treats

Their larger size means they're perfect for larger cards. This card is 5.752x5.75" and she fill it's perfectly, with just enough room around the edge for sentiments and embellishments.

I've used some My Minds Eye papers, and my card has been constructed on a Kraft UK card blank.

Some Mini Doily Circle Dies from My Favorite Things as well as some Royal Leaves

and a few Wild Orchid Craft Flowers, which may or may not be getting stocked too..

I SAID NOTHING!!

That's all from me today! ;) I hope this has put a smile on your face.

Fun times ahead. xo

One for the Boys

So here was me thinking I had had this post all typed up and ready to go, scheduled, the lot.

Obviously not.

I'm useless.

I got my head up my butt tryna revise for my exam next week and tryna relax with some colouring on the evenings after work. Gahhh!!

Enough waffle..

As you probably already know, there is a new challenge up over at Passion for ProMarkers. This time our lovely Marie. She wants to see

ONEZ FOR THE BOYZ

Yip!! We wanna see those boy/ male creations!! ;)

Head over to the BLOG to see the prize up for grabs!! 

I can't quite recall the name of this cutie from TGF, but he's loveable, right?

I've coloured him with ProMarkers to match my papers from MME and I've tried to give him a little plaid turn up on his sleeve - not sure how well that went! Hah. I tried to keep the whole design pretty simple as it was for a young boys birthday!

That's all I got for ya. Off to organise my notes and get ready for revision night #24683 hahah!!

Lurv.

Bikes and mud and stuff..

Yikes. It's the FIRST of SEPTEMBER 2013 already.. Christmas is upon is boys and girls.

In better news though.. the first of the month means a brand new challenge over at My Mum's Craft Shop! This month it's ALL ABOUT THE BOYS!!

I always get comments on the male cards I post on my blog, asking me how I do them?! LOL!! I think a lot of people are intimidated by them, so through out this post I'll try and share a couple tips.

TIP ONE - always use bold, masculine papers. There are tonnes of paper packs out there now that make our job as paper crafters a hell of a lot easier when it comes to boy cards. I think male cards, as opposed to boy cards, are a little different. Choosing a more mature colour palette is important. This time round I went with brown and red, with blue and yellow to accent stuff. For this card I used some delicious My Minds Eye Collectable Remarkable collection! I matted some of this onto Papermania Kraft cardstock from Docrafts. I absolutely love that deep blue patterned paper!! I have added some die cut Postage Stamp borders to the top and bottom using what's becoming a staple in my crafting from My Favorite Things. 

I chose a motorbike and a background from MIC for my main event, and matted it onto some deep red cardstock (Cherry Cobbler from SU!). TIP TWO - keep the embellishments structured and angular. Avoid flowers! LOL! That's a given. Unless you know they love flowers. I have layered up a bunch of squares, rectangles, pinking circles and die cut letters to create some interest in two corners of the image layer. TIP THREE - buttons. Make use of that button stash. They're the perfect 3D embellishment to create a little extra interest on a masculine card. I also added a few Hobby House Rhinestones in Jubilee Red to match the main colour from my project and to finish up the two embellishment clusters. If you don't fancy buttons or rhinestones, STARS are also another winner!

So that's it from me for today! I do hope you spare some time to join in with us this month! There is plenty of inspiration over at the My Mum's Craft Shop BLOG to help you out!! xo

Little Elle!!

This is a card I made aaaages ago using an image from the (then) new release from Pollycraft. Have you guys  checked out Paulas new website? It's fantastico. So much fun, new stuff!!

Anywho. I digress. This is Huge Thanks Elephant, and she.. I think she's a she.. is just perfect for a million things. This time, she was adorning a birthday card for a lady who loves Elephants. 

I coloured Ellie the Elephant ;) using my ProMarkers. Have you guys seen Fayes coloured up image? See HERE - it's GORGEOUS! She really works those markers!!

That's all I gots for ya today!! Loves. xo

Best Friends - Wryn and Emmy

Us four (how common does that sound? I don't know how else to word it, hah!!) had a fantastic time at The Deep Aquarium in Hull yesterday. We stopped a Whitby on the way back for (fish) and chips. Well, I had vegetarian lasagne and a jacket potato. :) A really good round up to the brilliant week I've had off work! :)

I thought I'd share a few photos from our day.

So onto the point of todays post.. here's a card I created as a commission for a lovely lady, so hopefully her friend who she's giving it to isn't a reader of my blog! :P

I spied the new challenge over a Tiddly Inks which was use a Wryn. How could I not join in? I had to, HAD to use Wryn and Emmy! :) I coloured them up to match the lady and her friend, brown and blonde hair. :) I went a little OTT with the pleats in their dresses, but you gotta get the practice in somehow, right?

I coloured Wryn and Emmy to match my papers from My Minds Eye. Lots of pinks and aquas and a touch of purple. I added a stamped sentiment from Hero Arts as well as a bunch of alpha stickers from Cosmo Cricket. 

I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:

Tiddly Inks - Use a Wryn

Crafty Sentiments - Add a Charm

Stampin' for the Weekend - Button it Up

Thanks for stopping by. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xo

Bursting with Orange!!

So my sister, she LOVES the colour orange. If it was an actual.. thing.. she'd probably bathe in it. That aside, each year is always a challenge when it comes to her birthday as I usually have to make two cards. One off me and one for my niece to give to her.

This is the card I made for my niece to give to her this year..

I went a little Stampin' Up cray-zee!! Heh.

xo

Shiney Sparkles at LLLC!

It's time for some more Friday inspiration over at La La Land Crafts today.

Our lovely Debbie has chosen

SPARKLES AND BLING

This post coincides with my big sisters birthday, and this card just happens to have been made for her. Am I kind? Mhm!!

I've used the adorable Travel Marci, as my sister is always off on holiday or wishing she was off on holiday!!  Her favourite colour, ever, is ORANGE - so that features big on my card. I've coloured Marci with the usual ProMarkers (colours are listed on the LLLC Blog) to match papers from PaperMania and ribbon from The Ribbon Girl.

For the sparkle and bling I added a heap of Stickles and Liquid pearls which I seem to be using a lot of on my projects lately. This time round I used Pumpkin Stickles and Canaloupe? LP!!

Thanks for stopping by. Out. xo

Anything Goes at Tiddly Inks

We're gonna get the start of the year off to a very easy and carefree start over at Tiddly Inks this time round with our new challenge.

ANYTHING GOES

Uh huh. As long as you use a Tiddly Inks image you can create whatever you wish! :) Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I've used one of the new images Christy released on the 3rd Jan. See THIS post for a little peak at the others. They're being released in acrylic, which opens up a whole new door to your crafting.

This is Wryn Happy Mail.

I've coloured her up using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers to match my papers from My Minds Eye. I've layered my design up ontop of some Blush layering paper from Hero Arts (love that stuff) which I've embossed using a diamond lattice folder.

 

The cute little circle sentiment is from a Whimsy set and I've stamped it ontop a pinking circle in SU! Melon Mambo ink. Hmm.. a bunch of punched butterflies, some pretty pink buttons threaded with yellow bakers twine, some pink matt brads and some ickle liquid pearls finish this off.

I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:

- Lexi's Creations - Anything Goes

- Make It Monday - Anything Goes

- Oh La La Creations - Happy Birthday

- Whoopsi Daisy - Die cuts and punches

Please head over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog now and join in with us! xo

They say it's your Birthday..

It's safe for this project to go 'live' now - as it's the recepients birthday! My Uncle! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Before I start my usual waffle, I just want to say a MAHOOOSIVE THANK YOU to all of you lovelies who've stopped by my blog these past couple days to leave comments on my TGF RELEASE posts. If you missed any of them, you can spy them HERE and HERE. Don't forget about our BLOG HOP TOMORROW!

This is a card using the awesome Saturday from The Greeting Farm. I love his hair!! I decided to add red tips, just for something a little different. Not 100% happy with how this turned out, but it was the first time I've coloured him up, so be gentle with me!

I stamped a sentiment from a Hero Arts set, along with those little music notes around the bottom of my image in ink from SU! I added a few customary banners behind the image, some alpha stickers from Cosmo Cricket and a little sprinkling of bling. I sure hope my uncle likes it! :)

Thanks for stopping by today. xo

Poppies

Gahhh!! Today is the day!! I cannot WAIT. My brand new phone should be arriving anytime between 9:30 and 13:30. EXCITED does not even begin to cover it! :) I've decided to upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy Note. I know.. I've heard all the jokes before.. it's a total beast. But I've already chosen his new name.. Neo. Neo the Note. I know. I'm such a child. But he's gonna be like my third arm, so me and him are gonna have to have a special relationship thing right from the get go. LOL! Look at me waffling on. Anywho. Considering I've had my old Blackberry bold for three years now, it's definitely time for a change. :) So with any luck he'll arrive before I head out to work, that's if I'm actually AT work today. Waiting for a text off my friend as I totally forgot to check the rota on Friday.

SO!! All being well and I'm OFF work, I'll be having a crafty day with some BRAND NEW images from companies I shall not mention.. and I'ma try and get ahead with my DT work.. although I'm not getting my hopes up. Knowing my luck I'll be at work at 2pm! :(

SO!! Today.. I thought I'd share a card I made about a month back using a gorgeous Hero Arts stamp. Are those poppies not the prettiest thing ever?! I've coloured the gorgeous red poppies using my ProMarkers and kept the image panel the whole length of the card at 5.5".

I didn't want to take anything away from the dramatic flowers, so I decided to create my sentiment on a vellum overlay. I used another Hero Arts stamp for the Happy Birthday - stamped in Staz-On ink. I then pieced 'Great Grandma' together using some black alpha stickers from Cosmo Cricket. To ground the vellum on the card I wrapped some red bakers twine around the right hand side.

Job done!!

Thank you for stopping by today and reading through my excited waffle! I'm sure you'll hear much more about Neo in the days to come! LOL. :)

Purple Purplyness

Following on from the stoopid blog title from yesterday. I thought this title seemed rather fitting, considering I ain't a great lover of purple.. or CAS.. bearing all of that in mind I did manage to pull this card off quite nicely. 

This is another commmission of mine from a while ago that I just forgot to share. I'm such a bad blogger sometimes. Not this month though! :)

So this is a little Stampin' Up, Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn creation. I've used Naturals Ivory cardstock for my cardbase and sentiment strip and some delicious (yip, I kinda like this purple..) Perfect Plum. I've stamped and embossed a gorgeous flower wreath from Hero Arts and gone over the petals with my little Versafine marker.

I've added some.. what do you call them? Dew drops? Which I was gifted from a friend to the centre of the flowers on the wreath. 

The sentiment has been created using Harolds ABC's from Lawn Fawn, stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink, which matches my ribbon from The Ribbon Girl pretty well! :) I've also added a little WOC 15mm rose and a pearl brad to complete the look.

Hope you like this card! Have a nice relaxing Sunday. :)

Ginger Gingery Gingerness

:) It's the WEEEKEEEND!! YEAHH!! By the time this post goes live.. I'll probably be.. driving back from my boyfriends and planning on getting my ass back to bed for a few more hours at least. I can see myself turning night into day over the weekend getting commissions and DT work finished up for the next few days. Just how I like to roll. Best stop by somewhere and get some coffee soonish!

Wanna know a PLUS?! Mother Goose is away down south for a Hot Rod show. You're probably thinking.. well what does that mean?! Ohhh!! I won't have her trumpeting around the house at 9 o'clock in the morning like a pet elephant tryna wake me up accidentally on purpose. Hell no!! It'll just me be and my little cat Shadow all weekend long. Bliss.

So onto what you've actually clicked onto me for. My card! :) This was made for a girl I know so much about but haven't really spoken to properly before. She's a sister of a friend of mine who I work with. Guess what?! She's GINGER!! You guys probably know my obsession with red hair and stuffs.. well.. THIS was the PERFECT opportunity to colour me up some ginger prettiness. So I did. I chose Book and Bedhead from Saturated Canary.  I've coloured her with PMs and FMs and left the image panel pretty big. I done this in order to add more interest to the card without adding bulk. This card was originally going to be posted - so I had to keep it as flat as I could. Low and behold.. it was eventually hand delivered, so I coulda layered it up Lou Mac style. Never mind, huh.

I used scraps of paper from My Minds Eye - Madison Avenue for this card. That paper pad seems to be real tricky to get a hold of now?! I've stamped a Hero Arts sentiment and finished it off using some alpha stickers from Cosmo Cricket. All four brads are from SU!'s subtles collection. I die cut the flowers using a PTI die and used more scraps of paper to layer the flag trim behind.

I had a total blast colouring this beauty. I'll list the colours just as soon as I actually find where I wrote them.. if I did at all!!

Enjoy your Saturday, whatever it may bring! Over and OUT.

Abbey Rocks

Wednesday's don't half come round quick these days! LOL.

I've got some sad news today.. this is gonna be my last post for Quixotic. :( I've decided to step down. Gawwd. Don't make me go into detail because I get a little teary! Long story short.. I need to stop spreading myself so thin.. I need to create more 'me' time - no pressure, no deadlines.. just crafting because I wanna. I hope you all understand!! Just know that this isn't the end of my and Quixotic! :)


So to go out with.. guess what I've got for ya? Of course.. some more The Greeting Farm goodness. :)

This is the awesome Abbey from the Creeper Crew. How awesome is this girl?! VERY awesome. I had such a blast colouring her up!! I've coloured her up with PMs and FMs to match my mixed patterned papers. The slice with the alpha is from Cosmo Cricket - upCycle, the smaller grid and the swirly swirls are from two Basic Grey collections.

As for sentiments, I've used some much loved Whimsy Ticket Sentiments - Treasured Moments and coordinating die.

That's about all for the Quixotic yummyness today!! Hope you enjoy.

Don't forget to enter our Sketch Challenge to be in with a chance of winning a £15 gift certificate for Quixotic Paperie.

Over and Out. xo

Saying Thanks from Tiddly Inks

Good morning! :) So pleased you could stop by today.. we've got a BRAND NEW challenge for ya over at Tiddly Inks, and I've got a little inspiration to get you thinking.

First of all, I wanna start by showing you a mistake. A mistake that had me gritting my teeth for AGES afterwards. Wasn't a good situation.

Basically, I was too busy concentrating on getting the friggin' sentiment straight.. that I forgot to actually fit the whole thing in the space. Ridiculous. I know. Took me about 20 minutes to salvage the bloody thing. *rolls eyes* That aside. Here's my finished card for this challenge.

SAY THANKS 

You know you've always gotta be thankful for your friends, right? So what better way of saying thanks than a little card. :) I've used the adorable Wryn and Emmy - BFF. LOVE these two cuties! I've coloured them up with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers to match some scraps from MME Mabel collection.

I decided to try a little masking and sponging with my neglected DI's that didn't involve clouds on this card.. so I die cut the letters to spell 'FRIENDS' from a TH die and temporarily adhered them to the card. I then took some Scattered Straw and Tea Dye DI and sponged around them.. nicely! :) Really subtle, but I kinda like it. I stamped the card base with some HA Polka Dots in Chestnut Roan Chalk ink just to add something extra! :)

The panel behind the image is made entirely from scraps. I've got a thing about diagonal stripes, so I adhered little strips.. diagonally.. to a piece of printer paper, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card. :) The sentiment has been stamped on two more pieces of scrap paper, boy I'm good ;) and adhered over the afore mentioned MISTAKE! Gahh!! I'm still annoyed about it. LMAO! Some little white liquid pearl sqwodges here and there, and that's about it! :)

Head on over to the TIDDLY INKS CHALLENGE BLOG NOW!! and see what the AH-mazing DT have got to inspire you to create a THANK YOU project!!

This little girl is a real cutie. I love her short hair and her backpack! I guess she'd be the smartie at school, and stick in - like a good student! :)

I've coloured her up using ProMarkers and fussy cut her out. I decided to create a little clipboard, so I kept all of the embellishing flat and to a minimum. I've used a few slices of Pink Paislee patterned paper that I found in my stash. I cut up the little letter tiles and adhered them at a jaunty angle.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow and see what else we've got lined up for ya!!

Sentimental Sundays #74

These Sunday's come around DAMN QUICK, don't they?! Weekdays seen to drag and then come Friday, if you blink, you miss the WHOLE weekend. Good news though - today.. I'm off work. That can only mean one thing! :) SUNDAY DINNER :)

Anywho, enough of the waffle..

Today over at Sentimental Sundays we want to see you try something new..

STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Hard, I know. Hell.. all of the girls had trouble with this one!! But the whole point of a CHALLENGE is to CHALLENGE you. So don't be shy! :)

I came up with a 'tri folded card' but not in the traditional sense. I don't even know if that's what you'd call it, but that's what I'm going with. I found inspiration HERE at Kristina Werner's Blog. This is the girl that got me into card making in the first place. LOVE her work.

Here is the photo that you will see for my project over at the SS Blog this week - it is the 'front of the card' with both folds closed. I have added two brads from Basic Grey and tied some Lime Green bakers twine from The Ribbon Girl around each of them to keep the card closed. I have distressed and doodled some edges and left others plain - just for a mix up. There are so many surfaces to cover on this card that you've got to keep it interesting.

Here is the second front of the card, with the top flap folded up. The sentiment 'Friends' from the front continues into this section of the card with a longer sentiment - both of these stamps are from Hero Arts - Friends stamp set and stamped in Melon Mambo ink from SU! I have used my Fiskars Scallop edge punch throughout the card to create something a little more interesting than straight edges.

Here is the 'inside' of the card - with a panel positioned so it cannot be seen until the card is fully opened. This is the perfect place to write a personal message. I have added some butterflies from a PTI set in Melon Mambo ink from SU! I have used a stamp off technique to achieve different gradients in the colour.

Here is a side shot of the card so you get an idea of the 'mechanics' behind it. It really was simple to make, but a little more time intensive when it came to measuring and adhereing the rest of the patterned papers. This would make a fab project to give to someone special for Valentines or Christmas - you could easily incorporate a few photographs and some special verses.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

× Fussy and Fancy - Try a New Technique

× Card Makin' Mamas - Punchy Inspiration

× Joyful Stamper - Anything Goes

× Our Craft Lounge - Patterned Paper

 

I'm off Go Karting tonight with a few friends. I cannot wait. Apparently I will be aching on Monday morning, but I care not. I have a Need for Speed! LOL. Tops is 40mph - but hell, I'm sure I could push a little more than that! :) Enjoy your Sunday whatever you're doing!
