Nothing to do with Paper Crafting.. mm.. well, maybe a little bit :) For the last 3 birthdays in our home - K’s 4th and 5th, and A’s 2nd – we’ve been having the birthday celebration at our home.. the decoration and cake (yes, cakes too) are all home-made and hand-made.. It has been a lot of fun. Today let me introduce you K’s 4th birthday party – the theme being ‘ Rainbows’ .

Hello there!! A quick post with a sweet card. The same darling couple you saw here  (this one was a finalist in Itsy Bitsy challenge, yay!) and here  (as an outline only) make yet another appearance :) Stamped a white panel with the hearts border in rainbow colours, stamped the couple directly on the panel, and then stamped the couple in another card stock, which I then water coloured. I hand cut the couple image and mounted it on the panel.. the whole thing was then mounted on the base card stock. Colurful huh??!? :) What went in Stamps   Sarah Kay stamp - Laura and Henri PaperTrey Ink: Simple Valentine Memento Inks, Inktense water color pencils and some of K's watercolors too And I need to tell you about this foam tape I discovered recently - I am sure it's been around :) The 3M Scotch Foam tape is FABULOUS!!! Try it out Thanks for stopping by :) Cheers JC

First up a set of three cards The first card I made is inspired by the sentiment in the stamp set. I made a faux blackboard by stamping the sentiment in white and clear embossing it on black paper. I then framed this using Sizzix Instant Frames (as always everything is linked at the bottom of the post). The card’s background is using the Pencil line image which comes along with this stamp set in three different colours. I had g...
