Pretty Birthday




Playing around with some new stamps and this is the card I made. Stamped with stazon black ink - I think my pad is getting a bit dry again! and finished off with some pink prima flower. Both these cards have been made using the same paper with different embellishments. I think I might like these stamps!!!!

Stamps not Included.

This card has been on my list for quite a while now so I'm pleased to have finished it eventually!The writing is done using my quickutz and the numbers and football with a sizzix. Westham emblem is printed off the computer. A cup sticker finishes the card.

Pink Key!


Because somebody laughed at me for inking a chipboard key in pink I thought I'd better make something with it! So here is an atc with a lovely PINK key !!

Must try harder!


Again not much crafting done today! But I did do the ironing and made a fish pie :-) I also managed to squeeze out 2 atcs though they are both similar. I got the stamp yesterday it was an ex demo stamp and cost me only £4.50 a bit of a bargain I think.

Who is it???


While rumaging through my stamps I found this one at the bottom and it reminded me of someone! But try as I might I can't work out who so I made a card and thought I would seek some help!!! I inked the backing paper with tattered rose and gold around the edge. The main image is stamped in black stazon then the crown and wand coloured in with gold gelly roll pen. Finished with little prima flowers and of course cause it's me a few sparkly gems! I hope someone can solve this puzzle.

Valentines!


Here is a Valentines card for the same order! Blimey 3 cards in one morning - i'd better rest this afternoon!!! This is made using chipboard inked with tettered rose and cherry pink stazon. finished simply with ribbon and a couple of eyelets! Better go quickly now and get them in the post.


Arty Farty again!

Another arty farty card needed today - for Ben again! The letters and numbers were cut using a cricut machine and the little tags with a quickutz die! The rest of the card is just simple stickers!ta Lesley!

21st

Thank you ATC


Another thing off my long list of things that need making. This time a thank you ATC this one has been stamped with Olive Green Stazon. A piece of stampboard was covered in green dabbers and then stamped with Olive Green Stazon and a gem added to the corner of the eye!

Triplet Birthday!




One of my son's has a set of triplets for friends and their birthday is coming up very soon! I was going to make one card for them to share but I have to admit I think that would be very unfair. So I made them three cards all the same but different colours! The Mickey Mouse shapes were made with a new Disney Cuttlebug die.

Simple!


Today inbetween coffee with a friend and the school run I've tried to catch up with a few cards I am way behind on - these are cards for some of my friends! They are very simple and straight to the point!

Sunday Stamper


Here is my attempt at Helens Sunday Stamper Challenge.

I started with a plain peice of paper which i inked with tattered rose distress ink and then stamped love with the same colour for that subtle look! Chipboard letters are coloured again with tattered rose and cherry pink stazon then rubbed over with gold rub ons.I did the same to the grungeboard heart and added 2 gold eyelets. The backing paper is from a DCWV rock star pad.

Twin Birthday




One of my sons has been invited to a party by a set of twins so I was given the job of making the cards! Both twins are very different one is girly and the other not so the cards are similar but different!!!The little books will be part of their gift!

Swan Lake


Today is a day to try to catch up with cards i need to get made for me! So this one is made for a friend.

I started by stamping a ballet stamp on some DCWV Rock star paper with black stazon. The backing paper was the coloured with tattered rose distress ink and gold rub ons.Glossy and crackle accents were added to accents on the stamp and cosmic shimmer was sprayed. A ribbon and brad are the finishing touches. I like this one if i do say so myself!

Play time

Playtime after a few days of making invitations - having to really force myself to try and craft at the moment as ideas are not coming easily. so a couple of atcs it was. Both have been sprayed with a little cosmic shimmer mica pigments just to give them a bit of sparkle.
