Wedding Day

Hi,
 Hope everyone  is o.k. and happily crafting. My new Great-Granson has arrived, and what a whopper he was, weighing in at 10lbs. 5ozs. Thankfully both Mum and baby are well, they've named him Ethan.....anyway back to my blog.
I made this card an A5 , and used one of my Brass stencils for the corners and cut sections out, therefore enabling me to put underneath some red card. The topper was a stamp from Crafters Companions Swalk range, coloured in with my Spectrum Noirs, then l finished off with the tag with text in and once again matted onto the same red. Hope you like what you see and have enjoyed visiting my blog..Thank You.   Any comments would be really appreciated.

Rosie's 17th Birthday

Hello everyone, don't die of shock, l did say l would be more attentive to my blog,

This is another card from the same C.D. of the last post, and yes it is for the other twin grand-daughter, Rosie, and once again l have used itmes from a Hunkdorey kit,and attached a pocket on the inside for her treat. Think we all have stash from days gone by and my new years resolution it to use them up and also "play" with other items previously bought.  Hope you have enjoyed taking a look at my blog and if you have any comments they would be greatly appreciated....Thank You.

Abi's 17th Birthday

Good Morning everyone, sorry but l have really been neglecting my blog, but l intend to be more dedicated, and hope you will forgive me.
This card was made for one of my grand-daughters, who is a twin, l made it from a new C.D. that
l have bought recently....HOTP -100 movable parts cards. The original was a little small so l adjusted
it and it finished off being 8" x 6" and l used card and toppers from one of the kits from Hunkydorey,
l usually give them money so thought that the pocket inside would house that.
Hope you have liked what you have seen and thank you for visiting my blog, any comments would be
acceptable...thank you

Anniversary Card

 

Hi Everyone, Sorry l know it been a while since last posting but not had a very good few weeks, Mum was poorly just after Xmas, and now the past two weeks l've had a pesky cough, but hopefully that is coming to an end....so onwards and upwards as they say.

This card is one that l have made using my new Tonic die set that l bought before Xmas, using the Cornflower die and white set with a topper that l found in my stash, the base matt is pale pink, and using my Cuttlebug All in one set l embossed the corners, finished off with pale pink gems for the flower centres...job done. very quick card.I made an envelobox for it so as to protect the flowers.  Hope you have enjoyed taking a look at my blog, and any comments you have would be welcome

Golden Wedding

Hi everyone, its getting even closer to christmas now, hope you've all done the shopping etc.
This card is made from a gold mirror 6 x 6 card and l made the main background with using my
Martha Stewart stamp around the page stamps, something else l haven't used very much, stamped
with Versamark ink and embossed with fine detail gold powder, stamped the text the same way,
and then used my Spellbinders/ Marvelous Squares dies to complete the topper, using gold mirror
for the lower layer. Topped off with the gold organza ribbon completes this card, ideal for Golden
Wedding anniversary.  I hope you have enjoyed taking a look at my blog, and like what you see.
Any comments are very welcome...Thank You

Calendar wallets

Hi everyone hope you are all getting ready for Christmas, it won't be long now.
Thought l would make a change from posting cards, these are some little wallets l've made
for my craft stall. I got the idea from a Demonstration l attended recently, with the dimensions
l used, its possible to make two out of l piece of A4 card,... four score lines and job done except
for the matting and putting toppers on. I used some from, the Art Deco kit l purchased from
Hunkydory,then added a little notepad and calendar, l think it makes a lovely little gift, ideal for
handbag or pocket.
Hope you like this, and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Christmas Humphrey

Hi everyone, where have all the days gone, there just doesn't seem to be 24 hours in them anymore.
This was a quick card l made from a topper that l had in my stash.  Started with an A5 white card, used a green stripey paper for the first matt, embossed some co-ordinations green card with leaves
and then sanded back a little then using a glue pen l edged the leaves with glitter, cut around some of the leaves to enable to tuck the topper under at different areas, matted both onto some red card and added a sentiment, there it is complete, as l said nice and easy.
Many thanks for taking a look at my blog, any comments you have would be appreciated.
