Favourite Five of 2012!

Good Evening Peeps!

Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and been spoilt rotten by Santa!

Let's hope you haven't been hit by the plague like us, well i say us it was my youngest Reece who spent most of Christmas being sick and has now got tonsilitis!

Ooh what fun it has been - NOT!!!!!

So to cheer myself up I have decided to play along with Debby's Fave Five of 2012 it seems to be quite a tradition and is so lovely to check out everyones delights!

Hope you like the ones i have chosen

1st up is a stamp i got free with a magazine, a very girly card

you can see my post here

Another girly card i do love these colours together

You can see my post here

I really, really like this one and when looking back i had totally forgotten about it, this was the 1st time I had used pencils on kraft!

Here is my post

Aww just look at those lil puddy tats just waiting to give you those pressies!!

I must use this stamp more often!!

Here is my post

And last but not least as i said in my blog post when i made this card

"This ones for you and you and you and you........."

ALL OF YOU

although things have slowed up on my blog since my mum had her fall and time is limited for creating i do hope to rectify that in the coming year :)

I have lots of New Years Resolutions i need to make , that's the easy part for me it's the sticking to them that i struggle with!!!! LOL x

Have yourself a happy healthy and safe New Year!

All the best!

Crimbo Snowman!

Good Afternoon!

Have you ever been happy with a card you made and then stuck something on that you wish you hadn't!!!!!!!

As Rolph Harris would say "Can you guess what it is yet?"

I doubt you got it wrong - yes it is the darn holly leaves, I stuck one one and thought "mmmmm yay or nay? "- then stuck another and thought "definitely nay!"

Do you think the buggers would come off - No way Jose they were stuck fast and upon trying to get them off i was ripping the paper!

So they stayed!

I rather liked my card before the holly but not as keen now lol x

Have yourself a merry little christmas ...

Good Morning!

Sunny outside and no frost! ooer is it being nice to us so we are prepared for the snow next week!!!

Oh well, what will be will be I am sure we won't get landed with it , more than likely the poor people up North will get there shares worth!

Another crimbo card to add to the everlasting list, I haven't made many at all may have to delve into the shop bought ones from last year, i always buy them in the sales as can't resist them at such a good price!

Also the price of postage is ridiculous and they literally have to be like 'Flat Stanley'  with no bulky embellishments otherwise you really will be charged the earth!

I have used this fab set Signature Christmas from Clearly Besotted Stamps, a perfect addition to your stamp collection and especially good for making tags, it comes with lots of sentiments.

This particular sentiment however is a Penny Black stamp.

Traditional colours for this card i don't think you can really beat red and green for christmas.

Hope you like x

Season's Tweetings!

Good Afternoon!

Happy 1st December I can't believe it is so near to Christmas and however much I try I still don't feel very Christmasey yet!!

I did decorate a Christmas Tree last night though and it does look pretty just need to find a fairy for the top!

It must of put me in the mood a little as I made this card using the Marianne Wooden Tree, i love this die and especially the little owls they are so cute, lots of jewels and glamour dust on the snowflakes to make them sparkle!!

Hope you like!

Girly Pop N Cutz!

 Good Morning Peeps!
Sorry about the photo quality but these were taken at night and are pretty fuzzy sadly!
Yet another pop n cutz, it is a bit of an addiction at the moment!
This is a very girly version all pink and kraft (of Course!)
Lots of bling and lots of punches i really love this swirly punch from Martha stewart you can just about see it above (damn photographer needs sacking!)

I coordinated the inside as well and used another Martha Stewart Happy Birthday deep edger punch and SU owl punch, i also made the owl a party hat using the SU pennants punch!

Do you like the bunting stamp? Fab isn't it !

This was my Secret Santa Gift last year from my lovely crafting friend Caz, it wasn't too hard for me to work out who bought my Secret Santa gift as Caz is the official Bunting Queen!

Have yourself a lovely Sunday!

Bye for now x

Sizzix Pop n Cutz!

 
 Hullo Hullo!
I have yet another Sizzix Pop n Cutz card to show today these are so so easy to make and i love them they make a nice change from your normal card, i think it is a nice surprise when you open these cards as you can make them as simple or as bold as you would like

This one in particular was clean and simple and here you can see the gap on the pop up, this is a good place for tucking money into as a surprise gift!

Be careful though as the recipient is normally bowled over with the design of your card (thanks to Karen Burniston!) that they don't normally notice the money!

This has happened to me twice now! lol x

I have used lots of different punches on here Martha Stewart  Cherish around the page punch,do crafts running stitch (i think or have i just made that up lol x) Dienamics fishtail flagstax, also Sizzix flagpole with lantern and sign, and of course XL horizontal base die set  3D circle label ( a must have)

Hope you like my man card!!

Rain Rain Go Away.......

 .... come again another day - or never !!!
Oooh! it is very grim today and i am now wishing i had cleaned the chickens out yesterday - guess i may get a little wet! Grrrrr
It was my eldest sons birthday a little while ago and this is the card i made him using the new Sizzix accordian album die, i am seriously loving this die at the moment as i think it makes the most wonderful cards and yet so so easy.
I must say he was rather impressed with his card, but more impressed when he found the money underneath!!

I also made him it's own little box to go in and was rather pleased with myself as i made it from scratch and it worked perfectly even the lid!

I normally struggle with things like this but for some reason someone was watching over me and allowed me a stress free cardmaking session in no time at all.

If you decide you like the above card but think no i will never manage that just take a look here at this you tube clip and i am sure you will change your mind it really is easy peasy!
