Two Cards Today! A Birthday Card and a Birth-Day Card!

Hello!
I hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend? We have been to B&Q already this weekend to get the supplies to start painting the new extension this week :-/ but we are yet to start. Today, we will start today...
But before that, cards! As you probably know the exciting new catalogue is going to be with us soon (4th June) but the downside of that is we will be losing lots of the lovely current stamps and dies. So I figured as I have so much to share still I would do a double card post today ;-)
The first card today is one I made this card for my eldest boys birthday a while ago...

 I started by randomly watercolouring a piece of watercolour card before drying. Die cut with the Celebrate You thinlints and then stack it onto three more die cuts made from thick white card.
TIP: Use a coordinating colour card to layer up your sentiment (see next card) for a different effect.

 Pop up the centre section using the rectangle framelits (a similar technique to THIS card) and finish with stars, a heat embossed sentiment, some enamel shapes and a little twine :-)

 And for the second card today I have a new baby card or a different kind of  Birth-Day card ;-)
I made this for my lovely friend who had a beautiful baby boy recently and I just couldn't resist making an Eclipse card using the Large Letters framelits and the First Steps stamp set to make this...

 The "Welcome Baby" sentiment is layered as before but this time using the Well Written dies - which are not retiring, Yay!
TIP: Use foam strips to pop up the letter die cuts and make this card super speedily!

 I do love an eclipse card, it just makes any card special. Sadly this stamp set and letter dies will be leaving us though, this catalogue change :-( I'm seriously going to miss these both of these items, although I'm definitely keeping both of mine.
If you love these or other items too, then please be sure to order your favourites before the 3rd June...

OK, so that's my two for one deal for today!
I hope you've enjoyed today's makes and I'll be back soon with even more :-D
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy your bank holiday weekend, whatever you're up to :-)

"First Steps" Baby Card

Hello there,
I still have a million cards (exaggeration for the point and all that!) to share with you using products that are retiring in a few short days! So, I'm going to make this a super quick post so I can finally edit some pictures for more posts ;-)
This card was made for our friend who had a beautiful baby girl and I used the First Steps stamp set with the rectangle dies to make this...

 I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and the background paper is from the All My Love pack.

 This (retired) ribbon was just perfect for tis make and I have sooo much ribbon so I am on a bit of a mission to use it :-)

Dot on a few sequins and pearls and that's it, done!

So, that's all for me for today from me for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another make.
Hope you have a great day!

Needle and Thread stitched panel card

Hello and happy Saturday!
Todays card is another with the Needle and Thread bundle. I teamed the lovely stitched effect die with some of the gorgeous Needlepoint Nook DSP...

I added a layer of the paper just 1mm smaller than the card base (10.4cm x 14.7cm) then topped it with the stitched panel which was cut using the stitched rectangle framelits. Those rectangles sure are getting a great workout here!

I added a little of the super pretty Old Olive linen thread...

Finished with a sentiment from the set which was die cut to make the stitching and punched out using the Pretty Label punch.

So, that's todays card from me :-)
I have a busy day ahead but somewhere this weekend I need to finish up my table gifts for next weekend when we are off to Telford for On Stage, I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone and of course, the break!
So, I'll be back tomorrow with another make but I hope you get chance to craft today!

Die Cut Thanks with Needlepoint Elements Dies.

Hi!
I am back with a fun card today using just the dies from the Needle and Thread bundle and I teamed it with the Well Written dies to make this CaS card...

I started by die cutting lots of the loop elements which was much quicker than you might think as there are actually two of these dies in the Needlepoint die pack ;-)

I then die cut a single, velum tag before topping it with a sentiment, stacked three times, from the Well Written dies.

Layer with some black card and add the sentiment with some white twine and finish with a few sequins.

So, that's all from me for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another make for you.
'Till then, happy stamping!
