Happy 12th Birthday Zoe!

Hello,

Yesterday was our Zoe's 12th birthday so as you can expect it was a bit crazy here! Lots of fun and birthday celebrations ;-)

I wanted to get on here and quickly post the card I made for her. I used the fab new Dress Up Framelits (which I love btw!) in here favourite colours of the moment Night of Navy and Calypso Coral.

I started with a Diorama Card using pearlised card in white

 Silver glimmer paper mannequin with a Lacy Brocade embossed dress, there is a tutorial for the ribbon flower HERE

 And I do have a tutorial for the cute smaller stitched ribbon flower which I should get to you in the next few days, please watch this space... ;-)

 a few little hearts in the top right hand corner

 and a side view to finish!

 And here a a picture of the birthday girl with her Mars bar cake which she decorated herself!! She said she had a lovely day despite having to go to school!

Well, I hope you liked today's card, I'll be back soon with more crafty goodness for you

Hearts a Flutter for a man!

Hello there,

I'm back today with another class make from last weeks card class, I have just 3 places left for next Saturdays class if you are interested in joining us please Email me for directions and other info ;-)

So, back to this card, I wanted to make a card that would be suitable for a man using the quite girly Hearts a Flutter bundle and so I went with a gumball green, marina mist, black and grey colour combo and here it is....

This card has some of my favourite products on it; the Chevron embossing folder (always a winner!), That's the ticket stamp set with punch and of course the pennants from the Hearts a Flutter set.

Right, I'm off for now to post out this months stamp club goodies, kits are all done and so I will share those with you tomorrow,

If you are interested in joining my new stampers 6 club then please Email me to join or see HERE for more details on how it works :-)

Betsy Blossoms in monochrome

Hello,

I am just off to work but wanted to quickly share with you a card which was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago ;-) 

I really wanted to have a play with this set again as I really haven't used it enough!!

 I added the top layer with dimensionals but the rest is perfect for posting as it's flat, unusual for me to not add ribbon or buttons either, I know ;-)

 and I added a bit of decoration inside too.

Well, short and sweet from me for today but I must dash. Back soon with more crafting!

Patterned Occasions Cupcake

Hello there,

I have another card from this weeks class for you today, this time using the cute as cupcake from the Patterned Occasions stamp set ;-)

I used a colour combo which was inspired by the trusty colour coach again, it's pink pirouette and early espresso with a dash of rich razzleberry, I stamped the background with pretty in pink ink though as I find the pink pirouette on matching card a bit too pale...

 a closer look at the cake (which is FREE till the 22nd march btw) with a rhinestone candle top

 the DSP is also FREE, it's Sycamore Street DSP and available to you if you spend £45 or more before tomorrow ;-)

Right, I'm off to collect kiddies and another busy night with parents evening again, two lots in a week!!

Back soon with more but if you want free Sale-a-Bration goodies with your order then please message me before 6pm tomorrow,

Vintage Verses Double Dose!

Hello there,

Last week I was playing around with the very lovely Vintage Verses (free sale-a-bration set) and the also leaving us when SAB is finished, Sycamore Street DSP. Now, I had the espresso and crumb cake card panel, which was also tied with linen thread, already made up from an age ago and so I finally came up with this card to make use, no waste here folks!

 I had used the ever brilliant square lattice folder on the background

 and spritzed the sentiment using the  rich razzleberry marker and spritzing tool

So, I loved this card so much I decided to make it for this weeks class, changing it up slightly...

 we used the Lacy Brocade embossing folder and added a touch more colour and the same paper pack but different patterns!

Well, I hope you like today's two of a kind?

I'll be back tomorrow with more cardy goodness but remember if you want free SAB goodies you only have 'till the 22nd to get your order to me ;-)

Happy Mother's Day!!

OK, so last week I think I may have spoken too soon saying I was better! I have been totally wiped out after just doing the few "Mum" jobs that I can't escape and not a lot more! I am now finally feeling like doing some crafting and have even had a little energy to complete a project or two ;-)

So today I wanted to share my Mum's mothers day card with you all :-)

I made a tri-fold card and added Tea for Two DSP to the panels, 

making pinwheels with the already cleverly printed squares, this is the bottom section in close up

 Some Vintage faceted buttons and a sprinkling of pearls on the centre panel

 and just one pinwheel at the top with another jumbo pearl in the centre to finish

OK, so I really will be back soon with a few of the cards I have been making the last couple of days

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back soon to see more ;-)

Angry Birds Punch Art

Hello there!

I am still here, alive (just) and not so well but feeling like I'm getting there. I have been laid up since I came back from Disneyland Paris last week with the flu! It was really bad, I think it may have even been man flu???!!! 

Well, I am feeling marginally better now so I wanted to pop on here and share a post with you quickly. My energy levels are still shockingly low so it will have to be a quick post but I can promise I'll be back tomorrow too with another card, how's that sound?

Now, my dear, sweet (*ahem* ;-)) little boy had his 16th birthday on Tuesday, do I feel old or what? And I went with the ever popular Angry Bird theme, lots of tutorials out there on the WWW so I won't bore you, just Google "Angry Birds Punch Art" for a ton of them. Although, please do let me know if you would like me to do a quick one as I adapted mine to what I had on hand?

This was the card I made in the end, sponged sky made with the XL scallop circle punch and a dauber

 A yellow Angry Bird with my hand cut grass along the bottom...

A red one too in the sling shot (do they have names??)

 and the word window sling shot. 

 I stamped the woodgrain background onto these for this look and used Linen Thread for the pull..

OK, I'm officially shattered! Time for a rest I think but thank-you for stopping by today,

Back tomorrow with more but for now

Stampin' Hugs from me!
