FOSTV159 - Friends and Flowers

This week our friends of speedy TV challenge is to make handmade flowers.  I decided to make some for an Easter card.  The MFP Stamp Shop sets I used is called Spring Joy and I used Copics for colouring.  I used various punches for my flowers.  We would love you to join us in this week's challenge - you can find details here.

Wishing you all a lovely week filled with spring flowers.

Triangular Cards

This week at Friends of Speedy TV our challenge is Triangular cards.  Here is one I made for one of my students who fell and broke his arm and is still in quite a lot of pain.

The cup is from a coffee set called Java Time but my guess is it would be filled with hot chocolate!

We would love you to join our challenge and you can find details here.  Have a great week.

Happy Birthday Karita

15th March and Karita, our niece, turns 15 today.  I made her this card and gave it to her on Monday when I saw her for a Maths lesson.  She gave me their gifts for my Birthday too.  A busy time for Birthdays - I must have posted or given a dozen cards so far this month.

The image from Julie Nutting is quite a big one and I had to get a longer stamp block to use with it.  It was paper pieced in black and white because like her Mum she supports Fulham.  The flower was handmade too and given some sparkle.  Karita will be sharing her celebrations with her Mum as it is Mothering Sunday today.  Happy Birthday Karita and Lorna have a good day today too.

Happy Birthday Huma

Today is Huma's Birthday.  She is the Mum of two little girls I teach every week.  The girls made sure she had a big badge to wear today so that she cannot deny her age.  Happy Birthday Huma.

I made her this card with a Woodware stamp that I purchased recently from Craft Barn.  The lovely lacy edge was created using a Joanna Sheen die.  I also decorated the inside and have photographed that too.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend.

FOSTV157 - Using Numbers

I made this card for this week's challenge a few weeks ago for the young lady next door.  I used MFPStampShop Calendar set with various dies and a border punch to make this little cupcake stand card.

 

Forgot to add a photo of the inside

Sentiment is not from MFP but snowflake and umbrella are.

If you didn't read the title you have hopefully guessed the challenge is to use Numbers - you can find the details here and we would love you to join us.

Happy Birthday Jeff

Jeff's Birthday today and he got the Peter Bonetti cat that our friend Chris Tollafield suggested.  Simple card using some net paper I found in my stash.

Thanks for dropping by.

FOSTV156 - Easter Card

I have switched from snowmen and Christmas cards to Easter today.  Our Friends challenge over at Speedy TV is Easter Cards and we would love you to join us.

My card uses dies and the Works of Art stamp set and the sentiment from the Easter stamp set, both from MFP Stamp Shop.  Our challenge page shows the cards made by the whole team so don't forget to check it out.

Thanks for looking - have a good week.
