Another flower pot card

I made this one with the dahlia flowers from fred's flower site, the striped paper is freds too, I have embossed the flower pot with the bubbles folder

At last

I am so behind with my blog, I have been making quick cards for the school fair to raise money but got fed up with them so had a little play.

I saw a demo at a craft show using stamp and bond and metalic flakes, I loved it so much I had to part with my money! These are my first attempts, the images are stamped with versamark pads, then I added the heat and bond powder and heated it like embossing powder, this leaves an image that is sticky then you sprinkle the flakes on and brush off the excess.

The flower stamp is by Lavinia and the cross is a papermania one, I stamped the background with my florish set from basic grey, also used my new nestabilities

My nephews birthday card

I cut the train on my craft robo, then added peeloffs and little wheel centres which are from craftwork cards I cut the backing papers from my nestabilities labels set and added the letters Evan which are a free down load from cannon printables

Little pram

Isn't this just the sweetest little pram, it is a free, yes free! LOL download from the very kind Lynn, click here for the link to the template. I am making a few baby things at the ,moment as I am expecting a new niece or nephew, started with my favorite pink things, better do some blue ones now. It looks much nicer than the photo, I have added a bead handle and embossed the pram cover with my cuttlebug and added lace and bows, I will personalise when the time comes

Baby shoes

I printed the gingham design onto my card, then cut the template with my good old craft robo, I added some daisies around the bottom edge, a little button and gem stone, I have added cord to hang them up with a tag and nappy pin. For the box I cut an appeture with my oval nestie and added acetate, I have stamped little footprints inside the box and finished with peeloffs, just need to personalise it when the time comes

Left overs

I made this card with the left over bits of papers from my previous card, I resized the flowers so that I could layer them up and used my martha stewart doily punch to edge the papers, the florish is a small sizzix die

Flower pot card

When I saw this idea I knew I had to have a go, I found the tutorial on this page.

I decided to put mine on a card as a topper, the insert part could be used as a book mark.

I have used digital papers and flowers by summer driggs, they are a free download from her gratitude set, check out her blog here she is one of the best designers around her papers are gorgeous

my first card sketch challenge

I made this card by cutting the oval with my nesties, the images that are decoupaged are from the cupcakes cd rom, I have used the martha stewart doily punch on the front and stamped a border with the tiny see D stamps and added gem stones from my stash.

I have entered it into the crafty card scrappers card sketch challenge

beach bum stamp

I have stamped the background with various shades of purple and lilac, I have cut and mounted two of the flowers and coloured them with h2o's, the tag was cut from a sizzix die

for a good cause

I have been busy making cards for a coffee morning to raise money for cancer research, these are a few of the cards I have made.
they are stamped with black ink using basic grey stamps its a florish stamped twice, then I had loads of freds flowers I had cut out on my holidays last year, so I added those and finished off with glamour dust and gem stones, I am really quite pleased with them, just hope they raise some money

clear choice stamps

I made these cards with the vintage set of clear choice stamps, my mum has had them for ages and had no inspiration so I had a little play with them, I love the key and the car stamps. I used the stamps to create the backing papers for each card. Thanks to nicci for my jump rings.

get well soon

Another papermania glitter sticker, I used my new martha stewart doily punch on the insert added ribbon and a pearl button from my stash
