Greg's valentine and a wee birthday card
Thursday, 13 February 2025
Alexandra's birthday card
How can it be the middle of February already, and how can my niece be turning 15!!!! It really is no time at all since she was a wee tot!
Her card was a bit of a rush job, so I used one of the Lili of the Valley images that came as part of a bundle offer. Coloured with polychromos; stencilled clouds; clear gloss added to the flowers. (I usually put some hearts on her card somewhere as she's a Valentine's baby, don't always remember to though!)
Next job is to make a Valentine card for Greg, a bit lastminute.com so it's not going to be too fancy LOL!!
Seize the Birthday #299 - add a heart
As You Like It - stamps or digis - I know I've used a digi here, but I'm definitely a Stamp girl! It just seems a lot less faff to get the inkpad out rather than trip upstairs to my 'office' where the printer lives!

Greg's birthday card (and Chris and David's too!)
Hi all! I struggle with masculine birthday cards, and thought this Gerda Steiner stamp would be a useful one to have. My brother and brother-in-law and Greg all have birthdays pretty close to each other so they all got variations of this card! I hadn't quite intended to add the clouds originally, but had made a rubbish attempt to draw some 'go faster' lines in the sky to give the car some movement, and the clouds and stars were a good cover up LOL
Coloured with polychromos; clear gloss added to the window and their glasses.

Marlene's birthday card
Well we're battening down the hatches here, waiting on Storm Eowyn to hit later tonight, with workplaces and schools closed and government red alerts issued to stay home tomorrow. Windy weather does frighten me so I'm not looking forward to 80 or 90mph winds!
I've a wee birthday card to share this evening using a new stamp from Gina K. It took an age to colour but I love how it turned out! I added some clear gloss to the flowers just to make them stand out a bit and then a wee gem for the flower centres.
As You Like It - gems or pearls - I prefer gems as they're flatter for mailing, and come in loads of colours so I always have some that suit

Birthday cards for Priscilla and Jean
Hi all, isn't it great seeing the evenings starting to get a wee stretch, I hate those dark days of winter so much. Glad our snow and ice didn't hang about long, a week of that malarkey is enough for me!!
Anyway, here's a couple of cards made for mum to send to my aunts. Both use Lili of the Valley stamps and coloured with polychromos. This first one was a pleasure to colour, I've added some clear gloss and glitter to the flower centres and the spots on the vase for some sparkle
My Time to Craft #551 - use a sentiment
And this one I faffed about for a long time with, feeling it needed something, until I added these die cut flowers and a few sequins and figured that was enough! Bunnies popped up on foam pads and sparkle added to their tails.

Mum's birthday card
Hi all, well that's Christmas done for another year! Doesn't it just fly by, can't believe it's nearly back to work time after being off for a fortnight. We've had a chilly spell this past few days, I don't mind a skiff of snow but hate it when it melts and freezes - no good for a wee dog who likes her walks and 2 slaves in danger of breaking hips 🤣!
Anyway, I'm here to share mum's birthday card using a new Lili of the Valley stamp - I love their images as most of my enjoyment from card making is actually the colouring in!
Coloured with polychromos; sparkle added to the flame, clear gloss to the cherries and chunky glitter to the bunny's tail.
