Happy birthday to my nieces

January is a busy birthday and anniversary month in our family! Two of my nieces have birthdays and both of my sisters have wedding anniversaries. And my own wedding anniversary is in January too!

My oldest niece turned 13 last week and I used a great Power Poppy stamp set called Well Played and a CardMap from Page Maps from January to make this card for her:

The patterned paper is from a Basic Grey (may they rest in peace) B Side 6x6 paper pad. My Copic colouring is very basic!

Another niece turned 10 just a few days after her sister and I made her a rainbow layer cake themed card. Again, my Copic colouring is very basic. I used the Party Time stamp set by Power Poppy and another CardMap from Page Maps. These patterned papers are also from Basic Grey B Side. 

The stitched circle dies I used on both cards are from Cottage Cutz.

I'm entering both these cards into the Power and Spark Challenge for January 2018!

Lawn Fawnatics Food challenge

My most recent obsession is Lawn Fawn stamps - I'm embarrassed to admit how many sets I've bought in the last 6 months. So when I looked at the Lawn Fawnatics challenge site and saw that this challenge is to make a project using food images, I had quite a few stamp sets to choose from!

First up is a card I made from "Best Pun Ever" (and I actually bought this set for these images). Very simple card - I die cut a mat from Watercolour Wishes paper and simply stamped my images and sentiments. I added some clear Distress Stickles on top of the hearts.

Next is a card I made from "Sweet Friends" - these little desserts are just so cute!! I cut 2 mats - one from Watercolor Wishes paper and one from Bristol smooth cardstock. Then I stamped the three images with Black Memento ink. I did some very simple Copic colouring and added details with Spica glitter pens and clear Distress Stickles.
