Have a Puurrfect Birthday Deb!

Evening everyone, Hope you're all well! It's my Sister-in-law's birthday today. Happy Birthday Deb! She loves cats, (she has two) so of course her card had to have a cat on it!

I've actually followed I ♥ ProMarkers sketch for this very quick and easy card. I've used a blank Craft Creations card and a stamped, heat embossed image by DoveCraft/TrimCraft Pepper & Friends. Coloured with Promarkers, (with a bit of added red gel pen on the heart to make it glitter) and a tiny butterfly charm, to go with the butterflies on the papers and image. All the papers came from the 6x6 paper pack Forever Friends, 'For You'.

The Fonts. The sentiment on the front of the card (Just Puurrfect) is called Linda's Lament, you probably already have it on your computer if not, Google the name.
The little butterfly on the sentiment is really the capital letter K from the font Sloneczko, (download HERE) which I've also used inside the card. It's all capital letters, so if you press for a capital, instead you get a little bee, fly, car, pencil, happy or sad faced sun, star or moon, etc.
I thought the butterfly font went well with the butterfly papers, charm and the butterfly on the image too.
I've also used Woodware punches, Martha Stewart fern punch and a Xcut punch for the front part of the flowers. It was the first punch I ever bought! It tore the paper the first time I used it and it still tears it now! Sharpening it the usual way doesn't seem to make any difference. Shame really, as I like that flower shape, but I'm really reluctant to buy another one as my other Xcut punch is rubbish too, but, my border Xcut punch is really good, and I'm very happy with that. But, on saying that, I do like the way it sort of 'tears' the paper, and makes the gingham paper look like cloth. Hopefully you won't notice the blue brads are slightly different blues, don't think that really matters!
That's it for now, oh except I did add some eye-lash wool...not sure if that will stay though. I thought it looked a bit cat whiskery! Thank you for stopping by.

Baby's First Magical Christmas

Last night I was jigging about, after Cazzy told me she'd spotted Spyder's Corner had been mentioned in the Crafts Beautiful Magazine's Top Blog Spot!! Wowohoo!! And this morning the Postie poked my mag through the letter box and I quickly searched the pages and there it was along with two other blogs, how fantastic is that!! I know it's only tiny and if Cazzy hadn't told me, I would've missed it, but I'm well chuffed! So my mojo suddenly came out from under the bed and I've been having a bit of a crafty day! (Well, I thought I'd better put something on...I mean, on the blog! Just in case I get a couple more visitors!! (even though they typed my link wrong)
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Trigger's lost a shoe and Slim Pickens has found something very nasty down the well...and now, back to the card...

The Magical Crafts Challenge has a sketch this time round and I thought, oho, I'll do that! But as usual I'm a bit behind! I've used freebie papers again, and if you didn't fall asleep on one of my older posts you might remember them, but if not, you can download them from The Craft Table. They're called Winter Wonderland and don't forget to leave a nice comment!

I've also used acetate over the front of the card and then fixed the cute little Forever Friends bear on to that. The snowflakes were punched out of a white glitter sheet with a Woodware punch and fixed using silicone glue. Just to give it a bit more sparkle I've coated some double sided tape with a smidgen of micro glitter. down one side of the card. For the larger oval I used a large Dovecraft punch.

The font is a freebie, and one I've already mentioned but just in case you missed that too, (where were you!!) it's called 'Honey Script' and can be found here where you'll find two fonts to download.
I'm hoping I can enter this card into another challenge, but...I've gone and forgotten where it was! Aha!! Pile it On has a Tinsel Town challenge this week, well~there's a bit of glitter, so I'll pop this into that challenge too.
Ok! It's tomorrow all ready so I'll love you and leave you and see you later with a shaker card, my favourite! Bye bye till then.
