Oh and it gets better... later on tonight we are off to see Miranda Hart Live on our stand up show in Bournemouth. I just love her and wanted to go since she announced it so i am so overly excited today! Back to crafting...today i have two cards that i made for Quick Cards Magazine.

For these cards i used the uber cute Penny Black Homemade Stamp Set. I coloured the little mice with my Copics and the papers are a digi download from etsy. I simply added some lace, ribbon, pearls. gems & a resin flower. I will be back tomorrow with my other two cards that i made for this feature.

Fabulous Friends

Hello Readers :)

I am back as promised with my second Art Deco card that i made for Making Cards Magazine. It was featured in last months magazine so you may have seen them by now. I love making this simple quick makes, i love the style & images and very on trend at the moment.

For this card again i used the Art Deco Ultimate Die Cut & Paper Pack by Papermania. I used the decoupage, papers and sentiment from this pack. I also used the XCut Floral Flourishes - which cut like a dream and go perfectly with this collection. The gems are also from this collection too. I love it when everything coordinates so well.

Botanica Birthday

Hello Lovely Readers :)

Today I have a card to share with you that I made for my mother in law's birthday which is today. I have been chokka block with work this week so this was a quick one i whipped up last night. I love the one of the new collections by Craftwork Cards called Botanica it's gorgeous and i knew just want i wanted to do...

I planned this card around one of the background papers. I distressed the edges then decoupaged the  leaves to make them more 3d. I also added glossy accents onto the flowers to make them shine. I also added lots of glitter to each of the other flowers & leaves and also around the sentiment - you can't tell in the picture sadly. The butterflies are cut out from one of the background papers and are glittered. I simply added some natural tape & mounted it onto kraft card.

 I would like to enter this card into the following challenges...

Penny Black & More - Make It Sparkle
Dream Valley Challenges - Vintage

Crafty Bargain Shopping!

Hello Peeps,

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far we have had glorious sunshine here even though it was still a little chilly & windy. We had a lovely family walk, in the end we walked about 4 miles with our little doggy was lots of fun though now my legs ache! I haven't got a card to show you today instead i thought i would show you my latest crafty bargains... sequins!!!

Look at this little lot! I love sequins at the moment and i have been looking for some for ages. These were an absolute bargain, the big tubs have four different sections each with a different colour. The best part is they were only £1.49, bargain! The little packs were only a £1 too. All from The Range.

I will be back tomorrow with my latest card :)

Angelica Cupcake

Hello Peeps,

Today is half term treat day for my girls so we are off to pizza hut then monkey bizness (big indoor play area!) so i will make this quick today :) Today's card features the latest collection from Crafters Companion called Angelica & Adam - isn't she just super cute....

For this card i simply used the Angelica & Adam CD Rom. The image is from the decoupage section and all the papers are from the cd too. I didn't actually do the whole decoupage as i only really wanted one extra layer. The lace is actually a square doily that i picked up from a show ages ago. I hope i can find some more of these as it's nice to have a doily other than round ones. There is also a lot of glitter on the topper, i just love making girly, pink glittery cards. I also added some paper flowers, gems, ribbon & a die cut sentiment. A pretty quick card really :)

I would like to enter this into the following challenges...

I am back today with my latest creation for My Mums Craft Shop. I have got a right old big pile of lovely new stuff to use so i thought i would ink up my new Mama Elephant Stamps and how cute are they? I kept it very clean & simple...

For this card i used the Mama Elephant Up & Away Stamp Set and also the matching Up & Away Dies. I coloured them up with my beloved Copics and popped the monkey & balloons up on 3d foam pads to make them a bit more 3d. All i added was some plain card & kraft card.

Hope you like my clean & simple make today i am never very confident with them!

This is really glittery in real life so i didn't want to go too overboard but blimey is it heavy! The papers in this range are such good quality and some are glittered and embossed - similar to first edition ones!

Exeter Craft Stash

Hello Peeps :)

So last week you may remember me saying i was hopefully going to the craft show at Exeter. Well i did manage to get to go and had a lovely time. I had my youngest with me so wasn't there for too long but i did manage to get a few bits & pieces. I thought you may like to see some piccies...

So here is my lot of basic stuff i needed to get...

and lots of stamps & dies.

You may have spied some new pens, they are the Kasiercraft Fusion Pens i haven't tried those so thought i would have a go and see what they are like. I haven't got those colours in copics so we will see how they come out. I had a quick go last night and they seem similar to graph its so far. As always i got loads of stamps, well i do use them rather a lot being a stamper so why not! I can't wait to colour up those little mushroom houses they are so sweet!

Right i best go and find homes for all this new stuff, i am running out of crafty space!

Love Heart Flowers

Hello Peeps,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We had a fairly quiet one but still lots of fun!

Today i have a clean and simple Nitwits card to share with you, well it's sort of CAS style depending how simple you like them to be...

So for this card i used the latest Nitwit Collections Kit called Ladies & Gentleman. The papers and the heart flowers are from this kit and the sentiment is from the Lil Bits Kit. I simply printed off another batch of the hearts and popped them onto 3d foam to add a bit of dimension. I also added some ribbon, gems and i drew a border around the main image to create a border.
