18th Birthdays

On Saturday it is my twin grand-daughters 18th birthday, so needed to do something special for them, and this is what l made.....

l chose to do easel cards, and used some Hunkydorey card that l had recently purchased, blue for Abi and a lovely pink for Rose. The images are from Debbi Moores C.D....Garden Fairies.

To finish off l used my Cricut machine to cut letters for their names and also the 18 numbers.

Embossed Flower

Hi there,

 

Hey,  l really am doing well with my blog don't you think......

 

This card came about as l was crafting with my buddies on Skype, and Sheila and myself decided to make a card using one of the "Keepsake " boards. Now this was so very different, and l found it very difficult to get going, but anyway here is the finished card.

The base card is a lovely pink,  A5, and portrait. I embossed the flowers onto the front, then l embossed the same flower, twice and cut the base one out within the box and then cut the actual flower out from the other. The edges were trimmed with silver border peel-offs, and then l used some glitter gems for the centre. Finished off with some Organza ribbon and two lovely corner peel-offs.

Many Thanks again for visiting my blog, any comments are welcome.

 

 

 



Vintage cars

Hi Everyone,

Hey l am really on a roll here comes another male card......

This time l started with a brown pearlescent base card, A5, portrait, this was quite a quick one really, as it is mostly using a few scraps.  The base matt was some distressed looking paper, and l stamped different text on, sorry it doesn't show up in photo very well, l then put it through with an embossing folder, the wood grain design, the other two pieces were also scraps from another card. The two cars were cut using another Marianne die, and afterwards l sanded back to give some more detail. This was then finished off with some card candy.

Motor Bikes

Hi there everyone, hope you are all well,

Here's yet another male card, l really am on a roll aren't l.........
The base card is yet another A5, but landscape this time, and is white.
Starting with a blue base matt, then once again from my stash l found these papers that l thought would tone in nicely. I cut them into two squares and matted onto some silver pearlescent card. The stamped images are used from some stamps that l have had a while, coloured them with my usual pens, cut out using my Spellbinder dies and inked with toning colour. Before attaching l wrapped some bakers twine around the lower square, and once both were in place l put three blue candy in top left corner.
Any comments would be welcome, thank you for visiting my blog.

Cool Pint

Hi, hope you are all o.k..
For the card today l have chosen to make with the men in mind, for a change, think we all struggle with this theme.
Starting with a white A5 portrait card, and out of my stash l found these different patterned papers all with the beige and brown tone.  The base matt is some light brown mulberry type paper, and the other was two strips, so l inked the edges with Frayed Burlap distressed ink to give some lift, then for the toppers l used my Tonic layers dies, embossed the top one and added the text tab., and the other l chose to use a stamp that had been "forgotten", coloured with my Promarkers and Spectrums. It doesn't show very well in the picture, but l used my glossy accents to coat the glass of beer, and the beer pump head.

Sympathy card

Hi Everyone, here's my card for today,

This card is a 8 x 8 shaped white base card, the main matt is cut from my Grand nesties, and then l ran it through my Ebosser using a swirl design folder, and the smaller matt l cut using my Xcut dies, and just embossed the top left corner and left the other blank. The cross that l used was l believe one of Marianne dies, l backed it with some black card and just trimmed leaving a very small edge showing. Finished off by cutting out a swirl and two butterflies also in black, of course any colour can be used to suit the occasion.

You're so Tweet easel card

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well,
Hey guess what here's yet another blue card, l really must get my head around another colour.....
I decided to make an easel card this time, using the Little Claire stamp set again, as this is another sample for My card creations I started with a white card, and used some blue gingham paper for the main matt, stamped out the image and coloured to tone, used my Xcut die for the rectangle matt and cut the paler one out using the method that has been used on the tele by different demonstrators, by cutting a circle out then using a border punch, cut the edges, therefore making a doily, but cut into two so as to make it visible underneath. l then made a strip for the stopper, topping with the "You're so Tweet" banner, finished off with a couple of flowers using my petal pears and some silver leaves.
I do hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog, any comments are welcome...Thank You.
