My Hedgehog cards finished

I used the 2 hedgehog images from my previous post on cards today.
I think the one with the hedgehog having a cuppa in my favorite one.
More cards to make tomorrow so hopefully I will get some blogging in too, but the weather is so hot and with 2 computers running in one room today when I was on my own I turned both computers and the printer off to try and keep the heat down, safe to say it is actually cooler outside.
YOu can buy these digi stamps and many more fab ones at Lily-Boo's Boutique here.

My Hedgehogs

I have been looking for some Hedgehog images for a while, yes, I know there are lots of Peny Black stamps with Hedgehogs on, but I wanted something different (and more economical).
Anyway I found some digi stamps at Lily-Boo's Boutique.
A set of 6 images for £1.99.
I have a relative in Australia who loves hedgehogs (they don't have hedgehogs in Aus), her birthday is in August so one of these images will be perfect.
I have printed off 2 and coloured them today with my promarkers, I will make cards with both of them next week and decided which one to send her.

More Cards

I have been busy this morning and managed to do a couple more cards.
Teddy bear is from Cuddly Buddly and painted with Mica Watercolour paints (I stamped with black ink and embossed with clear powder, without embossing the mica paints seem to dull the black edges but the embossed lines resist the paint).
Papers from Dovecraft, letters from a Brenda Pinnick Scrapbook kit.
Other card I have used buts from a Stampin' Up Kit I received when I subscribed to a crafting Magazine.
I have managed to get quite a few cards done , my box of cards is getting very full, I need to spend some time doing inserts to finish the cards off.
Anyway it's time for lunch now.

Stampin' For the Weekend First Challenge

This is the first challenge launched on my birthday last Friday.
The theme "From Dusk to Dawn" using the colours purple and yellow.
Anyway here is my card using my favorite stamp at the moment Mermaid Anya, I have used Sakura Stardust pens so it is nice and sparkly (as mermaids should be).
Papers from K&Co(yellow) and Papermania (purple), flowers from Prima finished with adhesive stones,little dots of liquid pearl in 2 corners, seahorse charm from my stash.
Thank you for the challenge ladies, I don;t normally use yellow but it looks fab with purple.

Fathers Day Card...with some recycling

A few years ago I bought a large quantity of old Brooke Bond Tea cards from Ebay, mainly for doing vintage style ATCs, well I used a few but I don;t do ATCs much now so I decided to use them in cards,
I had some doubles so I could stick the cards inside to show the information on the back (the kind of thing my Dad would be interested in).
I love the colour combo of chocolate brown, blue & cream and kept it simple. Blue card run through a Divine Swirl CB embossing folder and then cut with a nestie. Letters from a Brenda Pinnick scrapbook kit from QVC (A Christmas one), corners die cut from Wizard ATC die.
Insert printed using the Bearly Mine Designs designer inserts extreme CD, they are set as sqaures but I reshaped them.
Hopefully he will like it.
The girls have been at Butlins Bognor since Monday with my Nephew, but they come back some time tomorrow (If they can prise Aimee from her favorite climbing things). I can't imagine I will get any more crafting done until next week after I sort through my craft stash as it's time for another clearout.
