Shabby tea room challene week 81: Chevrons, & fantabulous cricut card challenges

Hi all here is my entry into this weeks shabby tea room challenge, I decided to make a bird card as I had no idea where to start with the card basics! After cutting up paper and getting stuck in glue i finally finished my card!  We also had to use the colours blue,green,orange,cream and brown along with chevrons. I decided to make a folded card and used green as the background colour.

The insert of my card is cream card with inked edges and a scallop border along the top. I used chevrons in the colours brown,blue,cream and orange. I am really pleased with the outcome of the card as once I started making it I thought it was going very wrong, but I kept going and normally when I do this the card is a disaster but I was very pleased with the end result!

Shabby tea room challenge:pink wedded bliss

The beautiful blog the shabby tea room are hosting a challenge this week called pink wedded bliss, there are some amazing card designs and they also put up pictures to inspire you, so here's my card for this weeks challenge:

This 'happy anniversary' card took a while to complete as I made the paper flowers myself and hand stitched the card along the top. I also made my ribbon 'ruffle'. Along with a lot of inking and other bits my card is finally complete :)

Fantabulous Cricut chalenge

The challenge over at fantabulous cricut this week is to use a splash of yellow, so this is my card. I have been following the challenges for the past month but as I am a new mum I'm finding it hard to find time to upload my projects so I really need to get back into the challenges and uploading! The sun is cut out on my cricut using doodlecharms and the actual card is from the beloved wild card cart which I still adore! The flower is also cut out on the cricut using accent essentials.

Thanks for looking,

Forever Friends challenge-a sketch

Hi here is my challenge for forever friends challenge blog using a sketch. I mixed the sketch up a tiny bit and this is my end result. The forever friends image has been stamped and coloured in using inks. The ribbon was twisted up and stapled on followed by some thread. I then stamped the get well greeting and ran it through my paper crimper.  I really enjoyed making this card for the challenge as I have just had a beautiful baby girl 6 weeks ago and it was really nice to get back into cardmaking!.

Thanks for visiting!

Shabby tea room week 48 sweet hearts challenge

Here is my card for the shabby tea room week 38 challenge, I really enjoyed making this card. The title is cut from my cricut machine. The heart stamp is from unity stamps and the flower is made using a punched flower shape which I just sewn a button through the centre. I then added hand stiching around the edges and finished off the card with some thread.

Thanks for looking,
