New Home Easel Card

Evening all,
Super quick post tonight as I still have to pack and I'm off to work too ! I have made a new home card today for BIL and SIL who are moving to Scotland in a couple of weeks, they are having a little get together on Friday but I will miss it as I am in Germany, here is the card for Neil and the kids to take with them :0)

It is another easel card as I think they are just something a bit different for special occasions, base card is Kraft,

All in the Family set used to make "mini Ian and Gills" with their 2 dogs, alphabet is Short Order which is sadly retired now, perfect size tho for this project, don't ya think? Kraft taffeta ribbon underneath the image,

Patterned paper is Bella Bleu, a lovely mix of Kraft, blue and pale yellows, {yum}

Front view with the Eyelet border punched strip to hold the top up, Sincere Salutations used for the Good Luck message,

Right that's it from me, I have taken photos of the swaps I have made so will schedule some piccies in for you to see whilst I am away,

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check in over the weekend and next week to get all the goss on convention :0)

Hugs to you all,

Anyone for Anya? sketch

Hello everyone!

So sorry I am late with this post I made this card last night and was going to post first thing, well, straight after I had been to do the weekly shop as we didn't have a thing in!... but my friend popped in just for a little while and ended up staying most of today (shhh!) I mean I was very busy with housework *ahem* all day ;0)

Anyway I used this sketch from the brill challenge blog Anyone for Anya? and I have to say I loved it too! I think it's a keeper,

Right so this is the card I made using the sketch and the lovely Miss Anya stamps, I coloured her in ages ago with these papers in mind but I have only just got round to using her,

Papers are Spiced Cider which in the photo look a bit pale but IRL they are Really Rust and Old Olive-a lovely combo

Ribbon is Kraft coloured Taffeta and button is from the Earth Elements pack, dew drop from stash, Image coloured with pro-markers,

Scraps used up on the inside,

And finally a dimensional shot ;0)

I hope you likey,

1st of many...

Morning all,

Yay!!! I have finally managed to make my first Christmas card of the year!!!! I promised myself I would start much earlier this year, but I was clearly wrong (or just plain "can't get into it when it is still sunny") anyway I was doing a little hopping the other day and came across this lovely card by my fellow SU! demo Teri, Thanks Teri =). I thought to myself I have this set and I love this card, I'm gonna have a go! SO I duly pulled down my Christmas box (kept atop of the wardrobe all year) and found although I had this set I also had a whole lotta other Xmas goodies up there too, including this lovely holly border punch I had clean forgotten about! Result eh?

Anyway this is the card I made and it came together really easily too, I based it on the sketch from the Corrosive Challenge blog. I love this set but only got it really late last year so have only really used it once or twice before, It is called Old-Fashioned Christmas and you will be seeing a lot more made with it in the next couple of months me thinks... :0)

I stamped the jolly Santa in Creamy Caramel ink onto Kraft card stock and sponged the edges in the same colour. Kraft DSP is from the level 1 hostess set which is only available 'till end of September (I so wish they would make a whole pack in this colour)

Sentiment is from Seasonal Wishes set which I am sad to say is retiring at the end of the month but if you like it *result* as it is currently 50% off!!! but be warned you will only be able to buy it until 30th Sept or sooner if they sell out. Punched out here with the Scalloped Oval Punch.

Dazzling Diamonds in the snowflakes and a shot of the inside,

email me if you need either of these sets or anything else from the catty for that matter, and don't forget I am still offering capped postage and a special gift from me with all orders until the end of September.
