Sweet Little Somebunny - Baby Boy Card

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me.... Happy 1st of December guys. Did you all get to open up your first advent calendar door? There's nothing more fun then being allowed to eat chocolate first thing in the morning!!

So today, I was tossing up chasing some Christmas cards but I thought I might share have some more sneak peeks from the Occasions catalogue instead... after all Christmas is still 24 days away ;-)

I thought it might be time to share some more from the Sweet Little Something stamp set and that gorgeous Bunny again. This time I changed it up and went for a more male card:

Perfect card for a first birthday or to celebrate the birth of a little boy. I really do love how awesome this bunny stamps and how different colours work in different ways together. This one for example is stamped in Smokey Slate for step 1 and step 2, not stamping off or anything. And the the third stamp is stamped in Basic Black. The two Smokey slate stamps add just the amount of depth and definition that the black just pulls it all together.

The bow was made with lots of varying size loops, then stuck together with some Tombow, using our new Night of Navy cord ribbon. It really is beautifully soft.

If you would like a copy of your very own Sale-a-Bration catalogue, please send me an email by clicking HERE, with your name and address, and I will get one in the post to you ASAP.

And even though I'm currently overseas, you can still shop on my online store, and each order will go into this months prize draw for the Colour Me Happy Stamp Set and Card kit. Just don't forget to add my December hostess code: XXXXXXX to be eligible.

Happy Crafting,

Just Add Ink Blog Hop #343 - No Bones about It Pop-up Card

Well this is certainly start the year with a bang!! The team at JAI decided to kick off our 2017 of challenges with an EPIC blog hop and the theme is interactive/Pop-up cards!!

So if you are a regular visiting, then hello and welcome back, but if you've just hopped along from Rochelle Blok then a big warm welcome.

Wasn't Rochelle's creation amazing. She is seriously talented that girl. No wonder she was picked to be a Stampin' Up! Artisan!!

Ok so my card for the blog hop is actually a style I've been wanting to try for a while. I'm not big on interactive cards or fancy folds, but I really enjoyed making this one and I'm now thinking I might do a Fancy Fold Friday class or something. But enough about that, let me show you my card:

I don't really like making cards for no reason as otherwise I never seem to get anything made, but Mr.6 is having a birthday in a few weeks and I had planned to make him a card using the fantastic No Bones About It set. He absolutely loves receiving one of my cards and I always try to make it something different. Hence coordinating his card with this challenge.

I paired No Bones About It with some die cut leaves from the Botanical Builders framelits. The leafy patterned paper was actually made using one of the stamps from the set. I really love to make my own coordinating patterned paper, using stamps.

Well that's it from me today, Thank you for stopping by. Now to keep hopping with us, you are now off to Di Barnes's blog and I can tell you, that you have a real treat in store!!

Happy Crafting,

Hooray for Birthday Week - Day 3: No Bones About It

 Wow, what a fantastic response I have had from my birthday celebrations. Thank you for all the orders, positive feedback and just the general sharing of everything. You guys really are awesome!!

I've changed pace a little today as my darling boys are having a fantastic run on birthday invitations. My eldest has received four this month and my youngest just received his first one ever. Talk about an exciting moment for him and me!

So, today's card was inspired by all the dinosaur cards I guess I will be making this month and let's face it, the No Bones About It stamp set is perfect for this type of thing:

Honestly, who can resist a dinosaur with a party hat!!

My birthday cards for the kids are usually kept pretty clean and simple. Not to many layers and for the the boys, no bling. But I think the little Gold Glimmer strip and matching banner just gives it the little finishing touch without being too OTT - pssst, did you notice the gold glimmer is on this weeks Weekly Deals??? Now is the perfect time to top up and grab it at a great discount too!

 I love to make my own DSP and on this card I just restamped the dino's image over and over in versamark. The only thing you can't see in the photo (and I really did try to get a photo of it) is that my little dinosaur is heat embossed with glow-in-the-dark powder. Yep, it's honestly a thing and completely fantastic!!

Thank you so much for popping back each day and checking out my creations. And remember there are only a few days left of Sale-a-Bration and even fewer if you want to grab a little extra goodie by placing a $90* order during my birthday week (20th - 27th March). You also go into the draw to win all 7 cards that I am blogging this week. Pop over to my Store today!!
