Expose your bum! ;-)

Good evening Everyone,

Hope you're having fab weather, too! I am loving the sun!

I started a new job recently, and my new colleagues rather quickly got to know about my card-making hobby, seeing that a good few people came to order cards from me. I got an order from one of the "newbies", also! I was asked to make a funny/cheeky card with a nurse, for a poorly feeling father. No better image for such card than Kenny K's Naughty Nurse! Now, unfortunately I cannot give the rightful credit to the person who came up with the witty sentiment - I was browsing around for a few days, looking for something funny, and when I finally found it, I wrote down the sentiment, but never saved the link to that person's blog! Huge apologies! :-(

I was quite happy with how the card came together - the colours were "slightly" inspired by the American flags in my workplace for the celebrations of the 4th of July ;-) The colleague who ordered the card was absolutely delighted, and made another order! And the card itself is currently on its way to the recipient... Hope he likes it, too, and it makes him feel better!

There's no better medium than some Glossy Accents! :-)

 You can partially see here what the inside was like:

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

Love to create - ribbon and bling

A gem of a challenge - Lots of Layers

QKR Stampede - Rock the red, white & blue

Inky Impressions - Red, white and blue

As you like it - 3 favourite embellishments (Glossy Accents, cause it makes the cards look more interesting, Ribbon, cause it's just a must, and so are the little Gems)

Now let's just hope for some more sun!

It's raining...BABIES! :-)

Hello Everyone,

Hope that you're all having a fabulous weekend! I have been busy with a few family and friends meetings, but I have also had quite a few cards to make! I'm so lucky to be surrounded by people who like my work and order cards from me! :-)

Today I can finally present to you a Baby Shower card that I made for a friend. I couldn't post it earlier, not to spoil the surprise! The mommy-to-be doesn't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so I decided to go with more neutral colours, rather than gender specific. I used an umbrella shaped-template by Shape EZ, which I thought was very apt for the occasion! A few butterflies (you know my obsession by now!), blingy flowers, some sparkly Stickles, pearls, and... voila! 

The card is apparently going to have a special place in the Baby Album, as my friend reckons it's one of the loveliest cards she has ever received! I was a happy bunny when she told me that! :-)

Hope you like it, too!

You can see the sparkle below: 

 A few friends signed the card inside, after the photos were taken:

 I also made a quick envelope, as the card didn't fit into anything I had!

I am entering the Umbrella Card into the following challenges:

Love To Create - Colour inspiration

Inky Chicks - Anything goes

Cute Card Thursday - Fly like a bird (butterflies fly, too! :))

Paper Crafting Journey - Anything but a square card

As you Like It - 3 favourite embellishments [butterflies - cause I'm obsessed with them, glitter - cause a bit of sparkle is always welcome, flowers - cause they're cute and girly!]

A Gem of a Challenge - Teddies 

QKR Stampede - Anything goes

Crafty Friends Challenge - Bling

Totally Gorjuss - Wings

Creative Creations - Shaped Cards (No Squares or Rectangles)

Have a great Sunday afternoon,

Just a little bit of summer...?

Even though the weather is a bit mad this weekend (you never know when sudden rain will come, but at least it brings rainbows with it!!!), I am somehow feeling a little bit "summery". It's a good feeling! :-)

My cousin has recently passed all her school exams, and so I thought that I would send her a little Congratulations card... I wanted to keep it relatively simple, and I think it still has elements of a CAS card...? I love the yellow/teal combination, although I believe it looks much nicer in reality than it does in the photo... 

Anyhow, hope you like it!

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

Inky Impressions - Anything Goes

QKR Stampede - Summer Fun

Cute Card Thursday - In the Summertime

Have a great week!
