Jess’s 18th …

 

 

Hello crafters, I just realised that I told you all about my daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations and then never showed you the card I made her.

I dug out one of my hAnglar stamps (what, not Lili of the Valley I hear you cry!!) and made a large card.

She’s not a very girlie girl and wouldn’t appreciate lots of fluff and flowers so I kept it simple

 

 

 

 

I cut out the numbers on my Cricut and did a shadow to back them with, all the papers are My Minds Eye  and the shapes on the inside were cut with Spellbinders grand nestabilities (big scalloped circles)

The flowers are done with my EK success retro flower punches (love this shape!) and then I put a gem in the centre of each one

I’m slowly building up a collection of hAnglar stamps, they’re lovely but so hard to get hold of and the Company seem to have stopped making them.

 

  

 

 

 

I’m going next door now to see my friend  …it’s Tuesday and that means it’s wine night woohoo

 

Have a lovely evening everyone and thanks for stopping by

 

 

Daisy's 18th

If you're still popping by then thank you so much. I'm hanging my head in shame for being such a bad blogger... there just aren't enough hours in a day for me at the moment. It was great to see some of you at the Lili of the Valley open weekend, it's always lovely to meet people in 'real life'!!

For those of you that are still here then thank you! I have a card today which is a bit different from my usual style - my daughter is 18 soon, she's one of the youngest in her group so this past year I've made so many 18th cards I've lost count.

I made one like this and they all loved it so I've made a few since in different colourways.

I love love love hAnglar stamps, I've built up a nice little collection by finding them on ebay and I did buy a few sets directly from them but it's strange because nothing has happened on their website for months. I hope they haven't closed, I love the designs of the Magnolia stamps but I just can't take to the faces on them, I much prefer these.

I find the large areas quite hard to colour, I'm just not there yet with the markers, probably because I don't have enough time to practice and I know it's not going to happen overnight.

The numbers and letters were cut on my Cricut with George and basic shapes and I embossed the core'dinations card that she's sat on.

Hope you like it, make sure you come back tomorrow for another of our LOTV design team mini blog hops when there will be some random commentors prizes.
