Lemon Baby Pop-up box

Hi, Here's my post for today.......

I have made quite a few of these pop-up boxes, and sold them at my regular craft stall at my local hospital, last time l was asked if l could make baby themed ones, so this is my first one for this theme. The pop-ups were cut using my Cricut machine and the New Arrival cartridge, this one l have borrowed from my friend, Sheila. Everything is self explanatory so l won't bore you all.

Many thanks for stopping by my blog and look forward to reading your comments.

Kandys birthday

Hello folks, hope you are all busy crafting, maybe started your Christmas cards too....

This was a special card made for a friend of mine, and as she absolutely loves flowers this is my card l made for her. The card itself is a 8 x 8 scalloped edge white card and the background is a pretty turquoise colour, which l embossed using my Floral Vine folder. this was matted onto a very pale turquoise to give a little lift. The verse topper is one of Tonics which l thought was quite appropriate l then got started on the flowers. These were cut from different shades of turquoise and l used both the Michaelmas Daisy and the Lacy Marguerite Daisy of Tattered Lace designs. The Happy Birthday was also Tattered Lace, then l finished off placing the pearls within the centres of the flowers.

Thank you for visiting my blog l will look forward to reading your comments.

Lantern cards

Good morning folks, this is my post for today.....

For these l used one of Hunkydory kits, l find that this is an ideal way to have a break from designing cards and can be quite refreshing.

As these were from a kit they were obviously pretty easy to do following the instructions, l put my own design onto the front of the boxes using the "waste" from this set.  There isn't really much more l can say about these, but they do make up to nice gift/cards.

Cheryl's Birthday

Hi there everyone.....here's my card for today....

This one was made for my daughters birthday at the beginning of the month, she was 50 years old,....she will kill me for posting her age.......

The main card is a 8 x 8 square white card, and the main matt is gold mirror card, the another matt of white, with the corners rounded off. The centre was cut out using one of my many Tonic dies, and chose to use the perfume bottle as the embellishment, trimming with the gold also. The flourishes were also in the gold to compliment the whole design. I placed the 50 onto the bottle, then cut her name out using my Cricut machine and shadowed also with the gold.

Thank you for stopping by my blog, looking forward to your comments.

Lisa's 40th

Hello there everyone,

My card for today is another one that l was commissioned to make for my daughter's boss, these special orders are coming quite regular at the moment, thankfully for my charity.

His request was for.... bright colours, doily, age, pinks and purples and of course her name, so this is the finished card.

The name and age was cut using my Cricut machine, and the flowers were made using my Tattered Lace dies, the doily using my Tonic dies, so quite a collection of dies were used, which is good.

I think everything else is self explanatory, and he was very pleased with the finished card, and actually gave me more than priced.....for my charity.... which this year is the Air Ambulance, for which l was very grateful.

I hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog and thank you for your comments that l hope you will leave.

Maureen's birthday

Hi folks, here's my card for today....

this was made for one of my friends that's within the group that meet up at our local craft shop for demonstration days.

For the main card l chose a white base card, and after folding the front into half back on itself l used a border punch to achieve the border. l then chose the pretty pink card and after embossing with the ever popular dotty folder l inked the edges lightly. for under the front fold l found some lovely pink floral paper and attached that to give a little lift. The topper was cut from one of my dies and then the beautiful floral decoupage was attached. I finished off this card with a few of my silver peel-offs in the corners and the swirls. And of course couldn't leave off the butterfly.

Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog look forward to reading your comments.

In the Pink

Hello there, hope you have all steered clear of this bug that's going around, l'm back to normal now thank goodness.

This card was made for a sample to send to Tattered Lace, as an entry for being on their design team, but alas l wasn't successful this time .......

The main card started as a A5 landscape white card and the background is some pink pearl card and l ran it through my Ebosser using my every popular dotty folder. The stamped image is one of Sheena Douglas designs, and was coloured using my Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers, and afterwards cut out using one of my many dies. The lacy corner is one of Tattered Lace, as is the flower arrangement in the bottom left corner. Finished off using a small Tonic butterfly and Tatt. Lace text.
