A flowery birthday!

Supplies:  pp and flowers from Watercolours Digital kit by Jen Martakis, 

Ribbon from MemrieMare on Etsy, white sequins, glossy 

accents, printer, computer generated sentiment, aqua textured

cardstock - Papermania, font - scrubble, machine stitching.

Sorry about the poor photo quality - it's difficult here at the moment!  It's May but feels like November and the sun is not co-operating.  It is still very cool - where is our Spring?

I went through my stash of digital kits saved on my computer and decided to get crafting with some of them again.  It's so easy to have lots of amazing kits filed away neatly on your computer and forget about them - right?

This kit is by Jen Martakis and it's called "Watercolours".  I used the flower on top of the patterned paper from the kit and added a sentiment and then printed.  Trimmed, matted on aqua textured cardstock and added machine stitching (of course!).

I tied the ribbon and adhered to the card using glossy accents and then also added the sequins with glossy accents to make sure they won't budge!.

Thanks for peeking.  Hope you have a great day.

Cards made from Digital Kits

A quick share of a few cards I made recently with Digital Kits.  I used this FREEBIE Digikit - Ocean Breeze by Scrap Originals.  It is available here.  The base paper on this is from a kit by Jen Martakis called Watercolors - available here.

The freebie sentiment is by Nini over on Suddenly Artistic - she creates amazing stuff.  I matted and layered and added it to Bazzill dotted swiss cardstock with some machine stitching.

I also made this which also has the frame portion layered on pop dots for added dimension.

The pp, frame, flower, ribbon is all from the Digikit - Ocean Breeze I mentioned above which is a freebie over on 2peas.  I left this one sentiment free for the moment - will add as needed!

(Edited to add - I use photoshop to manipulate the digital kits but you can use word/Office packages.  Great tutorial by Lucy here on how to use digi images with Word).

I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for peeking.

Anniversary Card & Tuesday Trigger

Today is our Wedding Anniversary.  My DH and I are married 12 years - where does the time go?  The above shot of the "lippy" is from O Magazine and is the Tuesday Trigger this week over on Moxie Fab World.  Here is my card inspired by the photo.

I made this card using the wonderful Digital Kit by Jen Martakis called "Watercolours".  I added some machine stitching, glossy accents and a computer generated sentiment - flemish script font.  The glossy hearts are meant to represent the shine from the lipsticks!.

Today is also the day that Hero Arts starts hosting their Virtual Cardmaking party (10-12 Sept) as Operation Write Home celebrates it's Birthday. 

Be sure to check out the details here. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day and great weekend.

Congratulations Card

Made this card with the wonderful digital kit "Watercolours" by Jen Martakis.  Printed the image on some pp from the kit, machine stitched around the edge.  Added red gems and a red ribbon bow and stamped the sentiment.

 Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you have a great day.

Birthdays are the best!

Another card made with the wonderful digital kit by Jen Martakis called Watercolours.  This time I changed out the thread on the sewing machine to match the aqua in the flowers and the cardstock.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the gems are by Hero Arts.  Used the large X-cut corner punch on the sentiment tab.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day.  Raining here this morning... let's hope it stops soon!

Digital Cards - quick and easy!

Sharing two cards today that I made with the kit by the wonderfully talented Jen Martakis called "Watercolours".  I printed the images on top of the pp from the kit and added machine stitching around the edges of both cards in co-ordinating colours.

I added stamped sentiment to both and red gems to the first and Hero Arts smooth gemstones to the second.

I hope to visit as many blogs as I can this week - but I know in advance that it will be tough!.  I have a lot of website content editing to do for Cork Week!.  It started last Saturday and lasts right through until next weekend.  So if I am scarce! you will understand why.  May even get to share some shots I take from "on the water" this week!.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have had a great weekend and wonderful week ahead.

Happy Birthday Card

I have been "oohing" and "aaaahing" over Alice and Lucy's creations using this "Watercolours" kit by Jen Martakis - so I just went and bought it..... and do I LOVE it.!  Printed out some last night (the pp under the images not very evident in the photos ... and I'm hooked.  I had to make a belated! birthday card for my SIL (she just visited - so I can post it now!).

supplies: Digi kit Watercolours by Jen Martakis, Bazzill dotted swiss cardstock, 
embroidery thread, papermania pearls, computer generated sentiment

Added some embroidery thread as a bow to it, which I coloured with a black sharpie!.  I just adore this aqua colour and really enjoyed making this card.  Thanks so much for stopping by... going outside to work in the garden as the sun is shining and the skies are blue.
