I love cookies

I love the Sesame Street characters and they make great card ideas... here's one for my friends 2 year old...

1st birthday monkey

A little monkey for a first birthday...

I made these... lion around

More from my recent invites commission for a baby's first birthday today.  The rest of the set...

Lot's more punches for this card... and lots more cards:

You're having a giraffe

Today I have part of a commission to share with you, and it was certainly a challenging one to make 10 of these cards!

At one point I actually felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew, after punching out yet another giraffe 'horn' and set of nostrils. 

I was really pleased when they were finished and think they came out ok in the end :).

Punch art piglet

I thought this punched pig was so cute when I saw it, I had to make a card for my sister...

Birthday Minion

Isn't this card cute (even if I say so myself!). A personalise Minion birthday card for a special 5 year old in this case, but it would work for a 50 year old if they are a fan of the film.

I've used a lot of punches for this card which made it easy and finished off with a little sponge daubing :).

Punched pacman

I needed a card for an 'old' friend's birthday... so this is what I came up with. A pacman card made from a variety of punches:

Can you spot the punches I have used?

Animal bookmark cards

Plenty of people still read 'books' rather than having a Kindle. I was recently asked to create a card commission with a book theme, for someone who also likes animals. Here's what I came up with, you may recognise them a little.

Happy Easter with chocolate bunnies

Happy Easter to you all!

I didn't plan to make any Easter cards this year, but I did receive a small commission request for some, so decided to use one of my previous ideas (see old post here) to save time.

I changed the colours around and bit and scared myself using the Every Egg Stampin' Around wheel, with Chocolate Chip ink... got there in the end though.

Materials:

Base - Pool Party and Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock;

Other cardstock - Chocolate Chip and So Saffron;

Stamp sets - Perfect Postage, Every Egg (Wheel)

Sentiment - Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Baby elephants

I have a couple of baby cards to share with you today, which use the Top Note die and Patterned Occasions (retired) and Occassions Alphabet stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

The 'elephant' stamp is ideal for a baby card. I've inked the stamp with Stampin' Write marker pens, in order to pick out the flower in a different colour.

Stampin' Up! colours used: Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue, So Saffron

Happy World card making day

I was scratching around a bit for something to post today to celebrate... And then realised I hadn't shared this with you from August! It's the card I made for my dad's birthday, using the Zoo Review stamp set from Stampin' Up! 

I've used Stampin' Up! card in Gumball Green, More Mustard and Early Espresso.
