A Howling good birthday

I really like Tracey Hey images, I especially liked it when Hobby Lobby used to carry her stamps, even though she is based in the UK lol.

I bought this stamp on my first trip to Florida after Covid and I will admit I bought a lot and I am only just getting around to using some of the stuff. 

It’s a fairly simple card and I wanted the image to shine and I think it does.

Flamin - go 70

The next 70 uses my cricut again but I tried to do skinny letters and it worked. I used a paper pack called flamingo from Michaels and I went with a new stamp from a new to me company for the actual flamingo.

The card has arrived and all the big birthdays have been celebrated so now I can show them all on here.

Coffee and Friends

I bought all the RongRong sets when i was last in Florida and although I haven't used them all yet I couldn't resist the newer Coffee one. 

It was such a lovely stamp to colour and one I am sure I will use more, not much else to say except I hope the recipient liked it lol.

Sentiment: as above

Stencil: mft hearts with kitsch flamingo oxide ink

Rongrong Number 3

The third and final card in this quick series, I am sure there will be more though as I bought six sets of these stamps lol. They are perfect for elegant ladies cards and quick too lol. 

Ingredients
Image:Rongrong from Hampton Art
Dies: Mod Stitched Rectangle from MFT

Rongrong Number 2

The second card in this series and I used a background experiment on this one, I wasn't sure if I liked it but once it was assembled it looks lovely and really shiny too,

Not much else to say except I wish these stamps didn't have so much solid area lol.

Ingredients
Image: Rongrong from Hampton Art
Card: Lovely lady from Papertrey Ink, Halftone stencil from Altenew and Whisper paste from BoBunny
Dies: Mod stitched rectangle from MFT

Rongrong Number 1

I made a quick set of cards way back in January and I am just showing them now....bad Amanda. I used a range of stamps I bought last June in Joann called "rongrong" they are supposed to be for planners but most of the images work lovely on cards.

This is the first and probably my favourite of the bunch. All have a similar colour scheme and after a while that will become obvious lol.

One Sheet Wonder

At playday a while ago Kay was making One Sheet Wonders and Kathleen thought they would make a great idea for our weekly crafty meet up. Now normally I chat at these meet ups rather than craft but I thought I would give it a try this time and I'm so pleased I did.

I only cut into two sheets of 12x12 and I made 16 card bases ready for images, on the night I actually stamped and coloured the nine you see below. The others I have in my card base box ready to go.

I don't have a lot of 12x12 patterned paper but I am going to cut up some more in different colour ways and have a go.

Ingredients

Images: "layering butterfly" from Hampton Art and "make a point" (retired) from Stampin Up

Card: "pink" from Papermania and "steel grey" from MFT

Dies: Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle nesties

Floating away

I watched a Jennifer McGuire video on YouTube and I was inspired to make this card, I didn't have everything she used but I made it work with what I had and I am pretty pleased with the results.

Now this set is a hampton art/mama elephant set so its not the same quality as mama elephant but for the same price you do get the dies, now they cut everything with a very large border, too large for me so I hand cut this one. To get the matching inside I stuck two pieces of card together temporarily and then cut once and got two, this enabled me to hide the copic colouring when you open the card.

ingredients
Image and Sentiment: "Up We Go" Hampton Art and Mama Elephant
Dies: cloud border dies from MFT
Stencil: mini cloud from mft and tumbled glass distress oxide ink
