Yum, melons!

It's time for some Tuesday Inspiration over at By Lori Designs!  We have some more summer creations to show you and here is my make using is Watermelon Smile... 

I used Julie Billingsley Summer Lovin' papers and framed her using Lil' Inker Designs photo frame die and My Favorite Things sun die topped off with a button.  I can't decide whether this will be a "thinking of you", birthday or even a congratulations card yet!

This is also my last DT card for By Lori Designs - it's been fun being with the team again and thanks to Lori for her fab creations!  You can check out more Tuesday Inspiration over at the blog here and I'll be back later with my There She Goes Trendsetter post!

Birthday sparkle

It's time for some Tuesday Inspiration over at By Lori Designs!  We are continuing with our summery theme so here is my make using is Firecracker Finn - isn't he a darling?! 

I can't remember who the papers are from as they were just in my stash but I did use my Nestie to create the aperture and popped him onto foam pad for depth.  We don't celebrate 4 July here in the UK so I'm going to use this as a birthday card instead (the sentiment sort of gives it away!).

Paddling in my pool

It's time for some Tuesday Inspiration over at By Lori Designs!  Summer is just around the corner (although I am still waiting for our Spring!) so what better way to get ready for the pool than a summery card?

This is Lollipop Baby Pool Sam - isn't he a darling?!  So cute!  I matched him up with Echo Park paper and added some clouds because we don't really get clear blue skies in the UK!

Yum...Christmas candy...

It's Tuesday so that means it's inspiration time over for By LoRi Designs team so here is my DT make using cool Penny Peppermint...

This is definitely going to a clever teenager I know!  I used papers from the First Edition Christmas Joy pad and the cool sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiment set - the perfect teenage-style font!  I created the little scene with MFT Die-Namics Snow Drifts die and the C.C. Designs Cutters Four Season Fence die.  I used lots of Stickles glitter glue along the snow drifts to make it pop!

And here is a card I've made for my friend's birthday in January - very apt in this cold winter!   I used the beautiful Candy Cane Jane by By LoRi Designs...

I used digi papers from the Echo Park All I Want for Christmas collection the sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiment set.  I used a snowflake embossing folder and glitter cardstock on the matting and Martha Stewart snowflake border punch to give it some bling!
