My Best Friend

 Hi all :) 

Today I have a quick card to share with you that was made for last months Making Cards Magazine. This card was made using the free papers that came with the magazine, this one is a nice quick one...

For this card I used the toppers and papers from the magazine which were all mounted onto caramel card. I also used one of the border stamps to create a small border behind the sentiment. I also added a die cut sentiment, pearls and a pearl heart embellishment to finish.

I will be back tomorrow :)

Thinking of You

Hi all :) 

Hope you have had a great weekend, gotta say I have loved watching a bit of Glastonbury this weekend. I wish we had gone now...another year maybe as i hate camping too! I thought I would share a quick make that I made using some Hunkydory products...

For this card I have used the Florabunda Collection. It's packed with these fab floral die cuts and beautiful foiled kraft card - very me! I love the matt finish with these too, so pretty! I have kept the design simple as I am batch making cards at the moment to sell so am keeping some designs clean and simple. I have loads more to show you so do pop back soon :)

Be-you-tiful

Hi all :) 

Today I am sharing a quick card I made for Quick Cards Made Easy. This is just one of the four I made for the Make Up themed project I did for the last issue. Here is card one...

 

This gorgeous range is called Kiss & Make Up by Dovecraft/Trimcraft. I adore this funky range, it's perfect for teens and girly girls. For this card I used the 12x12 Papers along with the chipboards, gems and washi tape. The lipsticks were cut out of one of the papers and popped onto foam pads as an embellishment.

I will be back soon :)

Sending Sunshine

Hello :) 

Today I am sharing a quick card that was recently made for Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. This one was actually a sketch challenge which are always fun to do. I went with a bold summery look...

 For this card I used the WPlus9 Sunshine Layers Die Set. I used this to create the scallop edge, the sun, clouds and sunshine word. The backing paper is from Lawn Fawn and the the stamps are also by Wplus9. I added some ink to the clouds to help lift the design.

I will be back soon :)

Garden Friends

Hi all :) 

I have some very exciting news to share.. I have been asked to join the Hunkydory Design Team! I literally couldn't believe my eyes, I have loved Hunkydory products for years and have many of their collections. I make and sell quite a few cards using Hunkydory products so this is a dream to be on their DT. So with this news in mind I thought I would share my latest Hunkydory card...

For this card I used the Garden Secrets Toppers and cardstock. Everything is mounted onto gold mirri card. I also added a paper doily, ribbon and pearls to finish - nice and easy! How cute are these image though!?

I will be back with more creations :)

Birthday Tea

Hello all,

Well today has been a bit too hot for me - and it's still scorching! I haven't been able to do much as it literally wipes me out this heat. Today I am sharing my first creation using the fabby new free downloads from Making Cards Magazine...

Every month Making Cards Magazine launch a new set of downloadable free toppers and papers. This one is called Tea Party and you can grab yours on the website here. I printed out the topper twice so I could do a 3d layer. I mounted all the papers onto caramel card. I also added some ribbon, lace, pearls, die cut sentiment and a heart embellishment.

I will be back soon :)

Otterly In Love

Hi all :) 

Another scorcher here today luckily it is a little cooler inside which means I can try to get on with some more work. Today I am sharing one of my otter cards that was in last months Making Cards Magazine, how cute are these lil otters?!

For this card I used the MFT Mini Hexagon Stamp for the background which was stamped in grey ink. I created the circle panels with distress inks and water splats, they were then die cut with the Double Stitched Circle Dies. I stamped the Wave Background onto a Stitched Rounded Edge Panel. I coloured my otters and accessories with Copic Markers and attached them in place with foam pads. I also added a sentiment and some sequins to finish.

I will be back with more cards soon :)

Dad's Shed

Hi all :) 

Wow what a scorcher it's been today! I even got a little burnt in the sun - oops! It's Father's Day and although I forgot to take a pic of my dads card I made I thought I would share another one from last months Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine...

My challenge was to create two cards into a beach hut/garden shed shape so this is the first one. I was given some lovely Docrafts wood effect papers and also some First Edition Dies. I also added some distress ink the edges and even made the door open.

I will be back soon :)

Birthday Wish

Hi all :) 

Today I am sharing a card that I made for my lovely friend Amelia. It was her birthday yesterday so now I can share it! I kept the design as I absolutely love the images and papers...

For this card I used the My Craft Studio Wondrous Wildlife CD Rom. I used the Horatio Design Sheet to create this card. I mounted all the papers and toppers onto brown card. I also added some ribbon and some self adhesive pearls to finish. I love this kind of watercoloured artwork so am thrilled I can now use them for my cards.

I will be back soon :)

Birdie Birthday

Hi all :) 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, we ha d a busy day Saturday but more of a relaxing time Sunday. I managed to tidy my craft area too which always helps! Today I am sharing one of my cards from last months Crafts Beautiful Magazine...

For this card I used the Julie Loves Dotty & Daisy Kit by Craftwork Cards. The papers, die cut frame, die cuts and card candi were all from this kit which means it was so easy to put together. I added some distress ink around the edges of the frame and also some pearls.

I will be back soon :)

Happy Birthday

Hello all :) 

I am still alive and haven't fallen off the planet - yet! I am so sorry i haven't updated my blog in a short while. I have been super busy behind the scenes, then i was ill for all of half term including my birthday. I've just about caught up again so here I am! The good news is I have loads to share with you now...up first is a sweet elephant card...

It was my fiance's birthday yesterday and rather than doing the usual 'painter/decorator' style card for him I went with some cute animals. The image is by Digi Stamp Boutique which was coloured with my copics pens. The papers are all by Stampin' Up mounted onto grey card. The sentiment was embossed and is by MFT Stamps. I also added some gems to finish.

I will be back very soon with more creations :)
