Hello sweet peeps,

Here is a card for the challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch. 

A short post from me today as dinner is waiting on the table. The image is a store bought one and I have stamped the sentiment and embossed the little rectangular paper.

Thank God it is Friday!

For a baby girl

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today... it is a baby girl card and I have used Penny Black slapstick stamps with a matching sentiment. I have had this set of cling stamps for over a year and am glad to air them. I think this card could have been made more interesting but I was thinking of entering this into Addicted to CAS so I did not want to add too much. I have stamped the buttons in Brilliance pearlescent orchid and the ribbon is from American Crafts while the buttons are from my stash. By the way the ribbon came about to help me cover a flaw - I had stamped the sentiment on the image of the buttons but it seemed to look tacky hence the ribbon.

I will also enter this card in Make it Monday - use ribbon

Wish you a healthy, happy and crafty weekend ahead.

Love,

Monica

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is another card that I have made for the bazaar on the 14th. I had made a similar looking one earlier and it sold so I thought I must make a repeat and here it is. The stamp is from Penny Black and the ribbons, pearls and flower is from my stash. The leaves have been embossed but I don't think that is doing much to them.

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is my card for today which is for a baby girl. The doily stamp is from Paper Mania and the lace stamp is from Kaiser Craft (I think). The tiny flowers have been punched out of a paper I crumpled and sponged purple and white water colours over it. The sentiment is from Hampton Arts and the flowers around the button have liquid pearls in their centres. Sorry that the picture is a bit crooked. Note to myself - must learn to take better pictures.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

For CAS on Sunday

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is my card for CAS on Sunday this week where the theme is round and round. This pretty doily was sent by Maricel with a pretty cardmaking magazine which I won in a lucky draw. It is a pack of three pretty designs and I have been hoarding it ever since. The sentiment stamp is from Hampton Art and the flowers have been punched out of pink card stock and I have used liquid pearls for their centres. The three pearls you see above the sentiment came to my rescue to hide a stamping error. The embroidery floss and button are from my stash. I would like to give credit for the inspiration of this card to Tenia who is a DT member at CAS on Sunday. 

I will also submit this card for the following challenges:

Wish you a pleasant week ahead.

Baby girl card

Hello sweet bloggers,

Thanks for the lovely comments on my last card. Today is a holiday here so while Aleeza was engaged in stamping, I made this quickie. The ribbon with footprints is new as is the stamp from Penny Black. I did make a card with it a few weeks ago (yet to post it) and it sold off instantly. So I thought I would make one more and I am happy with it. The pink ribbon on either side of larger ribbon (with footprints) was used to hide stains on it. The rose is from a larger ribbon and the flourishes were just sitting around on my craft table. I finished off the card with pearls. The sentiment is sweet, don't you think?

I am going to enter this in the following challenges:

http://www.craftyourpassionchallenges.blogspot.com/ - two colours only

http://www.cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/ - sentiment as the main focus

http://fashionistachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ - pink

http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/ - ribbon and pearls

I hope you like my sweet little card...

A commissioned card

Hello lovely bloggers,

I know I have been missing for a while - just got so busy that there was not enough time to blog...And I was trying to rest my hands and neck.

Here is a card I made for someone who wanted it for a new baby girl... It is not an uncommon layout but these classic cards seem to sell quite easily for me.

Just to give an update - I have sold 19 cards so far. 

I am not pushing it too much in order to heal my tired hands and neck.

Will come and visit you all some time later this evening.

Hugs,

Monica 

Baby girl card

Hello bloggers,

Thank you all for your motivating words... they did work wonders on my spirits! Zeenya was teasing me about the fact that I was looking for sympathy from all you lovely ladies out there! Not true I promise...

I was trying to make a birthday card for a two year old girl and ultimately this is what it looked like - a baby girl card. Can you believe that?!!! Now I will either sell it for charity or donate it.
And make another card which will hopefully befit a two year old.

The teddy stamp is from Inkadinkado while all the lace and ribbons are from my stash. The happy birthday sentiment has been cut from a ribbon. I seem to have gone overboard with the use of ribbons here - they make the poor teddy look bland, don't they? But if you zoom in on the picture, teddy actually looks glam because I have added a bit of glitter to her.

Wishing you a nice day or evening where ever you are...

Love,

Monica
