Rudolph Day September

Good morning
Well I am so pleased with myself that I have managed to get my card ready for the Rudolph Day challenge over at Scrappy Mo's on time!
I have made a shadow box to look like a window.  I have embossed the snow in the background, stamped & embossed the Lovely as a Tree set of trees on acetate and placed it behind the window frame which I have made using the Stampin'Up  new Hearth & Home framelit die set.

Happy Birthday Sis

Good morning,
I cannot believe that it has been so long since my last post!  Life is certainly very busy around here!
Anyway, today I would like to share a card that I made for my sister's birthday at the end of July (you see I remembered to take a picture with every intention of posting on my blog!).
 

 


You probably wondering why I took three pics?  Well the first one is taken in natural sunlight which I think shows off the true colours, the second one shows the colouring on the outside of the wreath and the bottom pic shows you all the glitter.

The original idea for this card came from a very talented lady, Christine, whose classes I go to every month.  She comes up with some truly fabulous designs which I unashamedly replicate! I do have her permission, honest!

Thanks for stopping by today.

The Wise One


Thought I would share with you a card that I made to send a friend who always knows what to say! I wanted to say thank you to her with a card rather than just an email because I wanted her to know it was a very sincere "thank you." 
Thank you for stopping by today.

Take care

April craft class

Today, I wanted to show you last months craft class with Christine.  Aren't they lovely! I know,  I am biased!   Thought I would show you these a month behind so that I don't give away the designs for the other ladies who attend Christine's class later in the month.
My favourite!



Great male card
Hope you enjoyed looking at these.

Thanks for stopping by today
Have a great day

Pretty in pink

Good morning,
I made this card for a friend's birthday recently, I hope she liked it.
I had considered entering this one into the "pink" challenge but used another one instead.
However, being as though I used a snippet of silver mirror card that I found in my stash, I am going to be going over to Snippets Playground instead!  Hope you don't mind Sarn!

Have a lovely day all
Thank you for stopping by today.

Orange - Sending wishes your way

Good morning,
I have had such a lovely week!  It was my birthday and I received lots of cards, including some gorgeous hand made ones which I will show you later.
My hubby and my children treated me to lots of nice pressies too which was great.
I have even managed to fit in some crafting too.
Todays card is again using the "tile" effect which I have fallen in love with!  You will probably get sick and tired of seeing these!  

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Thank you for stopping by today.

March - Rudolph Day

Welcome on this rather "blustery day" as Piglet & Pooh Bear would say.

Only managed a quick simple card today, with lots of bling which unfortunately you cannot see very well!
There are some great entries to Rudolph Day over at Scrappy Mo's again this month, am hoping to be able to comment on them all!

Be your own kind of Beautiful


Good morning, had a lovely day crafting yesterday and managed to get lots done, which I will be sharing over the next few days.

This tag was made using lots of different products.  I started out with a piece of White Whisper card from  Stampin Up and began sponging Crushed Curry ink all over it.  Then I used Mossy Meadow ink on a leaf stencil from Designs by Ryn .   I then stamped  and cut out out some dotty flowers by the Dreamees.  I then used my marker pens to colour the flowers.  Can you see the butterflies, these were an "accident", I had chopped off a couple of the petals from the smaller flower by accident and thought, hey that looks like a butterfly!

4. May all your dreams come true


This is no.4 of the class cards.   The colours we used on this one, are colours that I would not normally use but I think that all put together they look very lush.  The die flower was made using a die that is apparently a "cut & tuck", a bit like the lace we used to do?   Very pretty.

3. Dragonfly brights


Think this one was my favourite make of the day.  The colours and the bling really appealed to me!

We used Brusho paints on watercolour card to make the fabulous background.

Oh I do love the bling!

2. 3D Box card

Good morning.  This little project took some time to make and certainly kept us busy for quite a while.  Not sure if you can see but the flowers heads were made using velum which were fussy cut, coloured and glittered.


The leaves were also glittered which unfortunately, you can't really get the full blingyness of it in this photo.

Thank you for stopping by.

1. Gardeners Delight

For the next few days I will be showing you some cards I made when attending a monthly class that I go to (if you want details of class, please let me know).

Wow this one was a lot of fun to make and I can tell you it kept us ladies really quiet (for a while at least!).
I'm not usually a fan of decoupage but thought this card was great to do and I can think of lots of people who would appreciate this card for their birthday.

Look at the brilliant little pockets full of "bits" !
We actually cut the card into the shape of the apron, looks great eh?

Thanks for popping by today.

Take care

Mum - Have a Wonderful Day


Good morning all, today is Mother's Day and I am thinking of both my mum and my mum-in-law and hoping that they are enjoying their day.



I used the lovely stamps from Sheena.  They are both slightly different.

Love their simplicity.  I think that is what I like doing most!

To all you mums out there, enjoy your day.

Afternoon all, can't believe I am actually entering on the 25th!  I am usually running late but have made a New Year's resolution to check the diary!!

Good luck Scrappy Mo with hosting the Rudolph Day challenge  xx

The stamp I have used is one from Sheena Douglas .  Love this stamp because it makes quick and simple cards.  Great when you have so many to do!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
