Just a note!

Evening all!

I didn't manage to get to the Stampers 10 meeting I'm a part of last night, but our demonstrator Abi very kindly put a video tutorial on the blog for those of us at home so that we could follow along. (Much apreciated by the way!)

So this is the card that I made this morning. It was originally going to be white card as the 'envelope' but as I was putting it together I had an urge to use Summer Sun and I am glad that I did.

The stamp set I used was Fresh Cuts and the cardstock was Stampin' Up Summer Sun, Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery DSP and the ribbon was So Saffron I think. The brads just came from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

Going around in circles of green!

Good Morning!
I love Sunny days don't you? Even when they are cccold, brrrrr!

This is a card I made for the challenges over at Cupcake Craft Challenges, where the theme is "Round & Round" , Cute Card Thursday, where the theme is Green and Crafty Catz where the theme is Green with the added challenge of St. Patricks Day (which I haven't done).

I completely love this stamp set from Stampin' Up! but have only used the frogs twice I think, which is very sad as they are SO cute!

Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Flowers anyone?

This should be my absolutely last post of the day despite it only being 10 o'clock in the morning!

This is another card that I made yesterday. I used a new Penny Black stamp that my hubby got me for Christmas. I thought it was a really pretty stamp and it seems to go really well with the SU DSP. I also got the chance to use the diamond X-Cut Shape cutter that was another Christmas gift.
I think its very cute and springified if you know what I mean.
Enjoy your day and the people you get to spend it with!

Christmas gifts.

Hi everyone!

 Enjoying the snow? Did you all have a nice Christmas and New Year? I hope you did!

Well this is my first post in ages. All I seemed to be making were Christmas cards which I didn't want to post before I'd posted them, if you catch my drift, and then I realised that I hadn'y taken pictures of any of them! Typical, huh? That about sums up me!Well, these are little 3x3 cards that I made as a gift for my friend Pat who is a complete sweetheart.

There were 9 in all and I did make a darling little box for them to go into but I didn't take a picture of it.

So I hope that you like them (and that Pat did!).

Have fun in the snow. A great excuse for staying in and making a few cards, huh?

Take care

Pretty in Pink - and Green!

This is a little card I made a couple of days ago. I used a pink pre-scored card from my stash, Certainly Celery DSP, Whisper White cardstock with Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink ink to sponge the edges. The stamp is from Forever Friends and is remarkably cute!

For embellishments I used some silver brads, silver peel-offs, pink organza ribbon and a couple of pink flowers lurking in the back of my stash.

  Who is having a baby girl? All these baby cards and everyone has stopped producing! I consider it very thoughtless of them! Lol.

Thanx for looking!

Laced Box

Good afternoon!  This is a box that I made using 5 individual pieces of card that I laced together with some fine white ribbon. The pink base card is from some pearlescent pre-scored cards that I'm trying to get rid of. I matted and layered with some white card and blue patterned paper that I think was from Papermania.

The fan flowers were made using the SU Certainly Celery DSP that is about to retire and I topped that off with a circle of pink, a daisy and a blue brad.

The lacing was a little tricky and the flower was a bit time comsuming but I really love the overall result.
 
Now I need to try and find some little 3D butterflies to go with the flowers. I will go and hunt in my stash.
Hope you like it and have a great day.
Thanx for looking!
