THINKING OF YOU

Today a card with the colours taken from the challenge over at Colour Throwdown.The colours suggested are Melon Mambo, Barely Banana, Peach Parfait and Gable Green.

 

 

For the flowers I die cut them using Tim Holtz Alterations "Tattered Flower Garland" strip, the sentiment was stamped using Inkadinkado's "Everyday Expressions" and flat backed pearls finished off the centres of the flowers and the butterfly.

 

Take care friends and please leave a comment if you like today's project as this would be most welcome. Thanks again for popping by.

FROM YOUR FRIEND

Yesterday I went to the Creative Crafts Show in Manchester and bought some new dies which I just had to try out on thid card.The flower was created using a die set from Kreaxions in the netherlands and I spotted it on one of the displays at the show and just love the look of it when inked at the edges.

 

 



The sketch for this is over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge.blogspot. and the colours are taken from the challenge over at just-add-ink.blogspot.

MEMORY LIVES FOREVER

Hello again and thanks for dropping by. There is a lovely sketch challenge over at just-add-ink.blogspot. and used this for today's card.

 

 

The bottom of the card was created using Spellbinders Edgeabilities along with some bakers twine and ribbon.The flower is cut from some fun foam (I do love fun foam)and finished off with a little glitter.

 

The sentiment is from Fiskars "Good Times Quotes" and then cut using Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles.

I have now got to go and give my craft room a good clearout as I have been putting it off for far too long so hope to see you all again very soon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

Good morning friends and no I have not lost the plot by wishing you a Merry Christmas although saying that my local card shop has ,would you believe it, their Christmas cards in stock now.For us card makers this is the time for us to get making our cards in time for the festive season and today's card is making the most of the beautiful Spellbinder die "2012 Christmas Tree" which I cut out of some bright green fun foam and then added some bling.

 

 

For the sentiment I used Waltzingmouse stamp set "Very Vintage Christmas"stamped in black and again added some more bling.

 

The colours were influenced by the challenge over at the playdate cafe.blogspot. where I shall be entering this card.

 

Postman has just delivered some new dies that I had ordered last week so off now to try them out so enjoy the rest of your day and hope you drop by again soon.

SWEET BIRTHDAY WISHES

Although the weather may be dull outside I decided I needed a cheery and colouful card for today's project. The layout was inspired by the sketch challenge over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge and also gave me a chance to use my Clear Micro Glass Beads over the stamped background.These beads give a lovely effect and are easy to apply using double sided sticky film to fix them firmly in place.

The stamps used for the background were WMS Pic-nic Patterns and Faux Fun Circles and the sentiment using Compact Sentiments.



The flowers were cut from fun foam using Crealies Creative Flowers CL CF 17

Spellbinders dies Classic Rectangles Large and Grommet Tags shaped the sentiment tag area.

Take care friends and enjoy the rest of your day
