Cute Paws Birthday Cards - WOYWW

Today I am sharing a pair of birthday cards made earlier in the year for twins.


I'm also joining up with the weekly WOYWW group link up (what's on your work Wednesday) over on Sarah's Craft Shed, so I've got some catching up to do as usual. 

WOYWW is a weekly blog hop where we all have a look at look at what everyone has been up to. Follow the link above for more information.


So on my desk, I have downloaded and cut out one of files that I had called Cute Paws from Debbi Moore Designs  This particular download was from one of Debbi's weekly Treasure Hunts which she has run on her Facebook lives for the past few years to inspire crafters to craft and share.

Every week you can download a free project using the code from the Treasure hunt on the Facebook Live and collect some beautiful projects to craft with.

I have used this one a few times and sometimes when I need a card,  I don't need to look to very far but my collection of varied downloads which I can mix and match to suit what I need, which is how I like to craft these days.


I have used 6 inch white card bases, Sakura sparkle pens and glossy accents to highlight and add texture.

I edited the bones with the boys names and then mounted them on foam pads. I like the fact that I can resize the elements that I choose to use and only print off what I need.


I thought these images would look great inside the cards too.


This 6 inch birthday card was made more recently using the same design.


and another cute pup inside the card too.

During the summer, we came home to find this little robin bobbing abound on the lawn in our back garden, so he was named 'Bob!' 



Choosing to have a snooze on the lawn perhaps wasn't the safest place with so many cats around that would find him a tasty treat, let alone the sparrow hawk who frequently visits but we certainly enjoy to see the robins pass through our garden.

Have a great day,  whatever you have planned for yourself.

Birthday card

Happy New year to you all! My first crafty share of the new year is a birthday card that I made for a friend.


It's quite a clean and simple card that I have made using the Florence stamp from IndigoBlu.

I used Versafine vintage sepia to stamp this beautiful image and then painted the skin tone with IndigoBlu's matte acrylic in fair, also a touch of strawberry dream on the lips and cheek. 

For the flowers in her hair I used stormy skies distress ink.

For the background I used a wash of IndigoBlu mint choc chip acrylics and a stamped sentiment from Visible image.

Have a great start to your week,  whatever you have planned for yourself, for a lot of you it may be a very snowy one!

Happy Crafting
