Pretty Flowers Everywhere!

 Good Morning!
Here is what I made my lovely Mum for Mother's Day!
I love love love this style of card and could not believe my luck in learning how incredibly easy they are - bonus!!!!
To know that this little beauty will fold flat into an envelope is so cool and she absolutely loved it!

 I did have to pain stakingly cut around all these flowers as I did not have the matching die but in the end it was quite therapeutic as I stamped all the flowers and then cut while watching TV so didn't really notice I was doing it.

Here is a "fangy dangy" angle so you can see what an impact this style of card has.

I followed this brilliant tutorial where the lady gives you all the measurements in inches or cm definitely one to try!

Hope you like!

Have a wonderful Sunday x

Puss in Pink!

Good Morning!

Pink today and very girly!

A recent card I made for a friends birthday using the Elizabeth Craft Accordion Circle card with matching Square with circle frame edges (these are a must have to compliment your Accordion Circle Card!)

Kraft and gingham - match made in heaven!

I didn't actually do this card justice as silly me glued the card together wrong!!!!

Sooooooooooo annoying to say the least!

The inside white circles should be pointing forwards, a small error but still a pain!

Still as they say you learn from your mistakes, hopefully I will not repeat it lol x

Top tip I learn't from Caz was to first back your cardstock with Scortape before cutting the intricate filigree pieces from Square with circle frame edges so you can then peel back and stick straight to your card without having to use a glue pen!

Believe me I started off doing this first and it was very fiddly!

Hope you like, next one will be glued correctly!

Have a great sunny weekend!

New Home Card!

Good Evening!

At long last, a card , it seems I have had a bit of a break since my last post lol !!!

Well I hope you all had a nice Christmas and that you were hopefully not too affected by the dreaded floods!!

The card above was made for a friend who has moved into her first home so of course I had to reach for the Karen Burniston House set, it is so cool I was really pleased with the result in the end. 

I am loving Karen's new dies at the moment so hopefully will post again in the near future!

Good Day lovely people!!

Yes a couple of Christmas cards to share today made just for the fun of it, gotta make a start somewhere I suppose as it is now November doesn't time fly at this time of year it is frightening!!!

I'st up is a little stamp from docrafts which i initially bought for the sentiment which is stamped inside, a bit fiddly to colour this one!!

Next up is a lovely little robin from Poppy stamps designs, it also has a matching die (result!) but I actually forgot I owned it! (what a div!)

Not a great pic, but this is lovely and sparkly using platinum stickles, loving this colour at the moment!!

As you can see the obligatory Kraft  was used on both -don't think I will ever,ever,ever tire of this card stock!

Did you notice the stitched dies too??

They are from Lil Inker and a must have for every crafter!!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Girlie Card and Holder

Good Morning!!!

I have a couple of girlie creations to share today as it was my son's Fiancee's birthday yesterday!

Above you can see the money card holder I made using an Elzybell girl stamp (retired) it suited the occasion perfectly as she wanted money to go towards some Benefit make up!!

Apparently it's going to cost around £400 + to make her look drop dead gorgeous!!! lol x

They are staying up in London for the weekend as they went to see "The Bodyguard" last night

Yes I am "Well jel " !!!!

Below you can see the card I made her

This was so quick and easy to make using the new Stephanie Barnard Triple circle flip its die, it didn't take long at all to rustle up will definitely be using this for my last minute cards!

Well I am off to " batten down me hatches " incase the dreaded storm decides to pay us a visit tomorrow.

Hope you stay safe and  do not experience too much damage wherever you may be x

I also made another in a pink version but silly me forgot to photo it!!

Christmas Tags!

Hi de hi!!!

Yes you are seeing spots and yes you are seeing Christmas Tags!!!!

"Christmas in July"??????

Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid so the challenge over at Clearly Besotted isn't Christmas but "seeing spots"

I thought this would be the perfect excuse to use my Signature Christmas stamp set along with matching dies both available from Clearly Besotted.

This was i think my first purchase and i love it, they are so easy to use and even better now they have matching dies!!

Please do not be fooled though it doesn't mean i will be ready for Christmas this year, the panic normally sets in around the 20th December lol !!!

I must say seems rather strange doing Christmas items especially as we are due for a heatwave this weekend!

Hoorah! We have Summer!

Enjoy your weekend x
