Last minute tiger

Have you had any last-minute card panics recently?! You know the ones - you look in your diary and realise you should be posting a birthday card in half an hour for it to arrive tomorrow morning but you haven't even made it yet?!

This card was made in one such panic - for my dear friend Steph's son's 4th birthday. I don't own a huge amount of cute, child-friendly stamps but happened upon this cheery Penny Black tiger who seemed to fit the bill. A very simple card which came together quickly and just in time to catch the post!



Recipe:

Stamps - 'My Bengal" (Penny Black)
Card - Stamper's Select White(PTI)/Basic Black(SU)/Pumpkin Pie(SU)
Other - Black ribbon (PTI)/Rectangle Nestabilities/Copic Sketch Markers

Thanks for stopping by!

toadilly three

I don't do a lot of 'cute' stamping but actually when I do I quite enjoy it, especially the colouring!!! Plus this stamp is soo adorable!

This is a birthday card for the son of a dear friend of mine across the pond - since the lovely chap is turning 3 I thought this trio of toads would fit the bill, as would the uber-bright colour scheme!! They were coloured with Copic markers, as was the number 3 shaped chipboard.

I hope you have a toadilly fantastic day ho ho!
