Happy Anniversary - Wings of Love - Love Bird Heart Bunting with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone - Happy Sunday I hope that you are all well....Its our 21st Wedding Anniversary today and whilst we don't really send each other cards since we moved to Spain as they don't have card shops here like in the UK and it would be weird making one for John to give to me, I thought I would share a sweet Anniversary card today to celebrate.

I thought id share an Anniversary card made using the Wings of Love collection from Polkadoodles. 

I've made a faux stepper card and decorated this with papers from the Wings of Love collection. 

The sweet little love birds have been coloured with Promarkers and I used the papers to inspire my colour palette.

This collection is packed with cute little birds that I think are perfect for loads of different occasions, Valentines, Weddings, Anniversary, birthdays and for any occasion where you just want to sent a little love to someone special.  

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from this Polkadoodles

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Life is not always Black and White

Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful Sunday!

The bathroom refurb has finally finished thank goodness and were nearly straight again in the house, still got quite a bit of cleaning to do but were getting there.  I've even managed to get most of the craft room tidied although there's still a lot of boxes to unpack/rationalise.

I'm on my blog today to share something a little quirky that I've made using a couple of fun digital stamps by Julia McNeill owner of JMC Designs.

I've had these two stamps for quite some time but not got around to using them so decided it was about time for something a little fun and quirky just for me.

Aren't they adorable - this is Emily and Sophia (both were freebies)  Sophia was a freebie I think from the Kit & Clowder Facebook group and Emily was the June 2022 freebie from Julia's Facebook group JMC's Crazy Craft Hive.

I created a colourful inky background using distress inks adding a doodled border around the edge.

The sentiment strips are from Polkadoodles - Noodle Panda collection and I thought it was a perfect play on words for my definitely not black and white design today. 

Emily and Sophia were coloured with a rainbow of promarkers before fussy cutting out and adhering to the card with foam tape.

To finish of my card I've adhered a few black gems for a touch of sparkle.

I hope that you like my fun and quirky card today and you will come back to see my next design 🌞

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

New Release - Love Birds Wings of Love - Roses with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Saturday.

Brr its been a chilly few days here but there's always lots of sunshine to make you feel warm.... I hope that you are all well and enjoying the week so far.

Today I have a card for you using the digital stamp Love Bird - Rose flowers from the latest Wings of Love digital collection from Polkadoodles....I think this would be another perfect anniversary or wedding card or just for someone special.

Just a simple 5" x 7" card today with the focus on the sweet bird, a simple sentiment and a heart die cut from one of the papers from the new collection.

I decided to off centre my hearts for a bit of interest but add the coloured bird (see below for colours used) to the centre of the card mounted on some low profile foam tape.

Glossy accents were added to the heart and then a scattering of coordinating sequins around the design, help to draw the eye around the card and tie it all together.

 

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from this new collection

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

You are my Happy Place - Love Birds Wings of Love - Hearts and Roses with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Saturday- I hope that you have all had a good week.

Today I have a card for you using the digital stamp Hearts and Roses from the latest Wings of Love digital collection from Polkadoodles....

Todays card is a 6" x 6" card with an aperture, using two of the beautiful papers from the collection.

I think that this would also be perfect as a shaker card, or a traditional aperture card with a window through to the inside of the card - maybe with a hidden message inside ?

The cute birdie couple have been coloured with promarkers (see below for colours) and then fussy cute out before mounting across the aperture.
