HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMPLE CARDS

 Morning last day in January bit of a wet one here in the UK.


Today I have a simple card using a stencil I made from a die   ( HAPPY) used distress oxides to colour through the stencil and then stamped (BIRTHDAY) in black Versafine Claire ink. 

As you can see from the above photo very little was needed to make this lovely simple cards.

I went onto do a few more as you can see on the finished cards I added some embossing lines and a few drops of crafters paint got these from a £1.00 shop.

As you can see the finished product looks so clean.



Well that's all for today. Everyone take care and hope you all have a good day.
See you later in the week.
Bye x

Clean And Simple Cards Helped My Crafting Mojo.

 Morning on on this windy Monday morning in the UK. Hope you're all well. After the success on my last clean and simple card I have had a roll on a few more cards.


This one I am going to show you is quite cute in a simple way.


Both stamp and bike die are both unbranded but both go together perfectly.  This card I made for a cycling enthusiast. 

The card is 250gsm and opens in landscape and measures 5" x 7". Perfect size to stand proud on any  mantelpiece or window sill.

Well off to my full time job now so that's it for today.

Take care everyone in the windy weather today and I'll be back with another project soon.

Happy crafting all bye. 🙂

Keep It Clean And Simple Card Making

 Hi all you crafters out there been a while since I posted need to get back with this blogging. I'm a little rusty at navigating my way round so will start to post every couple of days to help me get use.


Let's start with a nice easy one for today. I've been in a group in Facebook called clean and simple card making. This is a public group and anyone on Facebook can view. I was taken back when I put this simple little card on and got over 1.7k view with likes and loves.



This has boosted my confidence after having such a struggle lately with my crafting mojo.  Crafters at times will feel overwhelmed and have no idea what or how to move onto the next card project.  I found it difficult to think of what to do next so decided to do this clean simple card and it has helped me to start enjoying crafting again and I have a lot of cards to post on my blog so keep tuned and I will up load my creative makes.


Here's the card that helped me find my mojo.



This card is a lovely 6x6 inch with the beautiful  Tonic Studio clef and music scroll die free gift from simply cards and paper craft magazine issue 236 and the stamped  music notes with sentiment was from creative stamping issue 52





The Embossing circles I used a ball tool (this device is a pencil like item with different size balls on each end made out of metal.) Also used 2 different size circle dies by putting the circle dies on the back of my card placing my card on a stamping mat and running my ball tool around the inside edge. 

Used Versafine Claire stamping ink in black. To stamp the music notes and the sentiment  just a note to say thanks!. Then added a red sequin to finish 

Hope you found this little card interesting and keen to try it yourself. Happy crafting everyone.
