Happy Birthday, Justin


Hi Everyone,

It's safe to share this now that I know my friend Justin - JK Cards received this card, just in time for his birthday.  The Happy mail arrived on his day September 12th.  Let's not say how old he is this week.  I won't spill the beans.

This is the card that I made him.  It winged it's way across to the US.  One of the best things about cardmaking is that you can personalise your card to suit the recipients taste and the things you know they like.  I think it makes it special, when you know a bit about the person you are making a card for and can add those extra touches.


The feature of this card is Coffee.  We both love it, so thought it was fitting.  The greeting is from the stamp set Chalk Talk and the splatter is from the set Gorgeous Grunge.  This is a Joyfold style card made from Island Indigo cardstock.  Come and have a look at the inside.



On the inside and front I've added Designer Series paper from the pack Soho Subway and I've added some images from some Vintage (retired) sets as well, the To Do list from Eat Chocolate and Wings from Affection Collection. 
Chocolate is another of our shared vices.

Justin tells me, he loved the card and he actually added it along with others he received to his blogpost yesterday which you can see here.

To my followers, hope you all liked having a look at this one.

Have a great day.

    Well I can see why he loves it - it's fantabulous Carolyn! I know had a few special coffees in his honour :-) My husband believes it's unsafe to talk to me in the morning til I've had some coffee lol! Oh no - you're not addicted to chocolate too are you?! I'm in the same boat :-/

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
