Roses are Red

I LOVE this stamp from Penny Black (Furry Love).

I decoupaged the envelope, the wrapping of the bouquet with the cats hand and the roses only. Coloured in with Marvy le Plume felts and coloured pencils.

I then mounted the cat onto red metallic card which I then mounted onto a sheet of leftover red card. I also mounted the strip onto red metallic card and added some Zoomz. I then mounted the whole thing onto white cardstock.

Moo's Be Love

Another great Penny Black stamp (Got Love?).

Rather than the traditional red, I went for a spot of fushia on this one. As I had some lovely ribbon and a great mini stamp pad by VersaColor in Peony which seemed to match quite well. The heart stamped in the background is from PSX.

I coloured the heart in with a Marvy le Plume pen and the rest is coloured pencils. Added some Zoomz to the ribbon and stopped there.

This is a card I made for my Nanna. It's not her birthday until the 22nd but I knew I had to make it now or I'll wake up tomorrow and it'll be the 21st and I won't have made anything. I know it's safe to post to blog now as she wouldn't have the faintest idea how to log onto a computer, she still doesn't bother with her remote control despite the fact that me and my family have told her repeatedly that she doesn't need to get up to turn the telly over!!!

The flowers, adhesive pearls and the adhesive ribbon are all from PaperMania, words by Anita. Stamp by Penny Black (Pinky Joy), coloured by me in Pencil. What a great start to my week off, I'm really pleased with the outcome. Not sure if I should add an '80' somewhere though or leave it to the inside as she might not want everyone to know and she keeps all my cards up...all year round, bless her!

Feathered Love

This cute little fella is from Whipper Snapper Designs. He's so cute I couldn't resist him. Mounted onto Blue and Green papers to compliment my colouring in and added a lovely little dragonfly (or butterfly, but I like dragonflies so that's what he is as far as I am concerned) stamp, from Elzybells (09.003.B).
A bit of blue and white gingham ribbon and a flower from PaperMania with a pale blue brad to finish. Hee Hee Hee. I love him.

A Week of Love

Just a quickie to wish all my friends and loved ones a special, happy week of LURVE. Why should Valentines just be one day, I wish you all a WEEK of LURVE and more. Hope you all get spoilt by your loved ones and get treated in the way you all deserve. Be Happy!

Love and Kisses, Fae xxx

Shopping Bella

For Jason and Liv, a shared birthday (not twins). Another image courtesy of Linda in Arkensas (I think I spelt it correctly?) Again, one of her latest purchases. Why are stamps so much cheaper in America??? Can anyone tell me? Why do the British always get screwed on price?

I quite like this one so I think I might have to buy it, as you really get two stamps for the price of one here. You can mask it and use just the girl on her own or the fella on his own. Either way you have a great image. I used this one complete as it was for a joint birthday.

Added ribbon and background papers to compliment. Handwriting again, is my own.

Snips and Snails

I'm afraid I can't tell you who the image is by as a crafting friend I purchased some stamps off, posted me a load of images from the states of stamps she was selling and I just had to make this card up for one of my friends nephew's birthday. I have a feeling it's one of those ones Caz likes... Magnolia or something maybe??? Anyway, she wasn't selling this one but it's one of her latest purchases.

Mounted onto green card and green ribbon added for dimension. Coloured with pencil (still one of my favourite methods of adding colour) and the writing is my own.

He's not one of my favourite stamped images, but it works quite well on this occasion. Hope you like?

Sweet 'Pea'

I made this card for my old boss as she became a grannie for the first time last week. I was going to put a big green apple on the front as her surname is 'Smith' and I was going to write 'Grannie Smith' underneath but I decided to go for something a bit more 'keepsie' rather than something she might not understand or appreciate. I do love these little 'sweetpea' stamps. Apologies as I cannot remember who makes them. Might be Wordsworth but Sarn will know for sure if you wanna ask her. Background paper by ProvoCraft called Baby Boy Sweet Pea and coloured in using watercolour pencils. Added some sparkly card behind image and added bradz and some ribbon.

Handle with Care...

This heart 'felt' card was made using Penny Black stamp 'Fragile'. I decoupaged the heart, the cats hands and his foot to give a 3D affect. The red hearts above the cat on either side were created using a magazine freebie which has the 'Magic Transfers' and the red felt. Once you attach the glue image of the heart you simply place the felt over the top and rub and the felt remains on the glued image. Purrrrr-fect!

P.S. I love this cat as he has such a cheeky face.

Kisses

Another Valentine card. Not long to go now...

The 'lips' stamped in the background are from Hampton Art and I love them so much. Perfect for backgrounds or just adding a 'kiss' after my signature on a card or the back of an envelope.

The hedgehog is... yes you guessed it, Penny Black and you will see I've left the image black and white except for the hearts which were coloured in with a pink jelly roll pen. Added some ribbon and some pink Zoomz and it's done.

Hope you like it x
