Sweet Moments

 Hello,

I have been pretty busy creating lots of cards lately. I am loving all the new CHA releases and I think Spring is my favourite season to create cards for. I love all the pastel tones and super cute images. Today I have three cards to share using the Dovecraft Sweet Moments Collection...

 I needed to create a few cards for my box that were quick to put together and thee were perfect. I love all the pastel colours. I used the Sweet Moments Decoupage Pad along with the matching Paper Pack. I mounted everything onto light kraft card - the perfect companion for pastel colours! I added some ribbons, pearls and flowers to finish them off.

I will be back soon :)

Hi all :) 

I just realised I haven't shared my other cards from my Kiss & Make Up project in Quick Cards Magazine, so here is another one of my cards. Such a cute fun collection to work with, well done Trimcraft! 

For this card I used the Kiss & Make Up 12x12 Paper Pack, Washi Tape, Gems, Dies and Stamps. I also embossed a die cut circle panel using a heart embossing folder. I mounted everything onto black and pink card to give a striking finish.

I'm off to Crafting Live at Doncaster if anyone is going, would love meet you! 

I will be 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 :)

Love Cupcake

Hello all :) 

Today I am sharing a new card that was recently in Quick Cards Magazine. I was asked to create some cupcake shaped cards using some of the new Dovecraft Collections and here is my first one...

I created the shape using a template (which is in the mag!). The papers are the XOXO Collection by Dovecraft. I also used the matching chipboard stickers and glitter hearts. I dusted the edges with some red ink and added some white gel pen dots around the top of the cupcake top. I also added some lace, ribbon and pearls.

I will be back soon :)

Winter Wonderland Part Two

Well I am back today as promised with my second card from my Winter Wonderland project as featured in Making Cards Magazine. How cute is this reindeer - gotta say I love my woodland animals at the moment!

So again for this card I used the Dovecraft Winter Wonderland Decoupage Pad and also the matching 6x6 Winter Wonderland Paper Pad. All the decoupage pieces are die cut ready to pop out so they are great for fast cards!

I will be back soon with more of my latest projects!

Cupcake Cards

Well last night despite being up really early i couldn't actually sleep so i decided to just sit at my desk and create something simple. I was actually tired but not tired enough to sleep so i knew colouring and concentrating would be out of the question. I bought a few bits from the Dovecraft Cupcake Boutique Collection just to make up some quick cards so i decided to go along with that and here is what i came up with...

 I know they are really simple but i think they are kinda cute. Pretty much everything on these is from the Cupcake Boutique Collection. I have used the Decoupage Pad, 6x6 Papers, Sentiment Toppers and ohhh those gorgeous Resin Flowers! I am sooo loving these resin flowers that are popping up everywhere although this is the first time i have actually used them. I seem to like collecting things at the moment.

Right i best go and do some more work and then take the kids out :)

A few more...

Here are a few more cards i made a while ago that i thought i would add to my blog!! They are all extremely quick & easy cards to make, which my eldest daughter helped me make! Even though they are simple and not my usual style, they have been extremely popular!!



These were made using the lovely new range from Dovecraft. I simply used the Cupcake Decoupage Pad and i found some Pebbles Inc Rub Ons to finish them off. I plan to make a matching binder or box so i can do a little coordinating set.



I picked up these groovy little 3d Stickers from a local value store but blimey they are sooooooo good value. Got 2 A4 sheets full of 3d stickers for £1.20!! They were meant to be for Lissy but we decided to share them!! I teamed them up with some coordinating cardstock and stuck to a simple yet striking design. Fabulous for boys cards!!
