Good Morning Everyone

I made this little Card and Artist Trading Coin using the Colourific A6 Sports Car set.  This is a great little set for those often difficult to make "Male" cards and you can find it by clicking here

Materials Used:  Black Card, White Card, Silver Glitter Card and 2 sheets of background paper.  Black and Red Glitter Pens and some Copic Pens.

I embossed a piece of white card with a star embossing folder and matted this onto a piece of black card and attached both to the card base.  I cut the background papers at an angle and overlapped them onto the bottom of the card.

I Cut out 1 large star on white card and added the cogs for the background, then mounted in onto a Silver Glitter Card Star.  I added 2 smaller black stars to each side of the larger star and place a silver glitter star in the centre.  

I coloured in the car with the various pens ad added Glossy Accent to the windows.  I also used a white pen to add some light shadows to the car.  I curled it slightly and placed it over the stars with some sticky pads.

Finally, I stamped and cut the the "Life in the Fast Lane" sentiment and cut up the words and attached to the card.  I used a "Happy Birthday" stamp from my stash.  Had no "Dad" stamps so that was handwritten.

Hi Everyone

I am having a great time playing with this set of "A6 Blossom and Grow" stamps from Colourific.  You can find them by clicking here



Materials:  A6 Blossom and Grow and A6 Borders and Stem" Stamps, Green Card, White Card, Backing Paper, Copic Markers, Silver Glitter Embossing Powder, Flower Embossing Folder and a Circle Die.



I used the Border stamp around the edge of the background paper and heat embossed with Silver Glitter powder, then layered a green square and the backing paper onto the blank card. I cut a smaller green square and layered it onto the backing paper with sticky pads.  




I cut a smaller white square and die cut a circle out of the middle, then embossed it with the embossing folder.  I used another piece of the background paper and stamped the Birthday Wishes onto it and embossed with Silver Glitter embossing powder. I centred the sentiment in the middle of the die cut circle and attached it to the card with sticky pads.




The flowers and stems were stamped and coloured with copic pens.  I glued the stems onto the card and raised the flower heads with sticky pads and attached.  I added a little bow to finish it off.

Thanks for looking

Hello Everyone

Been on holiday, so catching up with my scheduled blogs for Colourific Stamps.  Father's Day is approaching soon, so I thought I would get out the Colourific A6 Sports Car stamps to make a little card.  You can find this stamp set on the Colourific Website here

Materials:  Blank DL Card, 2 sheets background paper, A6 Sports Card stamps, Glitter Pens and Copics.  Peel Off borders.  Also used some die cut sentiments and a set of alphabets from my stash.

Measured each square of background paper 2in in from each corner and cut it diagonally. Glued the darker piece in place first, then added the 2 corners and added some peel off borders to set it off.

Stamped the cars, and cut one in half. Coloured all 3 pieces using copics and glitter pens and added Glossy Accents to the windows.  Placed the full car in the centre and raised with sticky pads.  The cut cars were placed at either side of the card.  Stamped the Triangle Warning 3 times and added the word Dad to it.  The sentiments are die cut works

Thank you for looking.
See you next week

Hello Again

Catching up with my most recent makes with Colourific Stamps.  I had a little play with the Unicorn and Wings and Unicorn stamp sets from Colourific.  This is a great little set of stamps and will be loved by every little girl.  To find these and lots more stamps click here.




To make this card, I used distress oxide inks, and made 2 rainbow backgrounds out of 5.5 square paper.  I used the Border and Stems to add a border round one of the sheets, then cut it into 4 equal squares.  


I cut out 2 circles, one from the 2nd rainbow background and the other out of white card.  I cut a smaller circle from the middle of the white circle to make a frame and stamped the border around the circle.  I embossed the rainbow circle with a star embossing folder.


I attached the 4 small square evenly onto a 6 x 6 card.  I matched up the colours of the rainbow circle, raised it with pads and attached onto the card.  


I stamped the Unicorn and horn, and coloured in with copics, and used a glitter pen over the top.  I stamped and coloured the Unicorns mane again and decoupaged it on top of the original.  I shaped the Unicorn and attached to the circle.  


I stamped out 5 of the little flowers and coloured them in with the same colours as the rainbow background and stuck them around the circle.  


I hope you like it xx
