Birthday card

2018-01-28T05:57:00.002-08:00

Good afternoon everyone. I'm doing well at the moment making cards, I'm trying to get ahead of myself as I do have times when I feel extremely tired.

This card is another order from a friend, I was asked if I could make a religious birthday card so I have printed a message on the front.

I made this card at a Stampin up demonstration at a friends house, I love the flower stamp we used. The flowers were stamped onto heat resist velum and we used white embossing powder. The message was computer generated later onto velum.

Childs card

2017-08-13T17:51:00.000-07:00

I know this post is long over due, i'm so sorry for neglecting my blog. I hope this card makes up for it!
I was asked to make a card for a friends Grand-daughter, its a difficult age to make for as i didn't know what she was into so i played safe and went for bright colours rather than it be too girly. I found some inspiration from a card posted on Pinterest (i love that site)! The backing card i used came from a pad i've had for ages and the decorative circle was a Marianne die, i cut the number out with my Cricut using glitter card, i think most girls like a bit of glitter!

Busy times!

2015-09-16T08:28:00.000-07:00

Hi Everybody, i hope your all well!

Well i'm trying to get back to posting on here after a break of sorts, Facebook has a lot to answer for as i find i get caught up reading the posts and get to look at nothing else, anyway i have promised myself to give time for other things so i'm going to try and do that by posting the cards i have made for you all to see....hope you like!

The first one is a christening card, i used a download i bought from Clipart Fairy, unfortunately she is no longer in business....such a shame because i loved her things.

Second one is another baby card which i made at a craft workshop, the pram is a "Tattered Lace" die and for the outer edge i used a Marianne die set.

The third card is another "Clipart Fairy" download which i made for my sisters birthday, i love the image! Again i used a Marianne die for the outer circle.

Thanks for looking.

Love this Owl !

2014-04-29T07:50:00.001-07:00

I saw variations of this card on Pinterest so decided to have a go at making it. Its made from different shape die's, it was going to be a birthday card for my sis who loves owls but i think it looks more suitable for a baby card or a young child's birthday.

Second card was made for a friends birthday, its a 6x6 card, i used some Sizzix dies which i bought in the sale and my fav border punch.

Diamond Wedding Anniversary

2014-03-26T18:27:00.001-07:00

I was asked to make this Diamond Wedding anniversary card by a friend, it had to go to Canada so i tried to keep it as flat as possible. Its an 8x8ins card using Crafters Companion Centura Pearl card, i embossed it with Embossalicious Regency Frame folder. The hearts are from Nellie Snellen and the rest is from my stash.

The next one is along similar lines but was made for a friends Ruby Wedding Anniversary.

The next one was made for my sister and her husbands silver wedding Anniversary.

Thanks for looking and i hope they give you some inspiration

Chloe's creative cards Fabulous Dress stamp

2014-03-25T06:45:00.001-07:00

I love this stamp and made my first of many cards i know i will be making with it. I also bought the new "Glam clutch bag stamp which is also so very versatile!
I used Halo glitter on the dress waistband by applying pva glue and then the glitter to make it look like an encrusted gold waistband! The papers i used for the dress was from an old pack i got from DoCraft "Papermania", i stamped the image using Chloes sparkelicious glitter onto the paper so the pattern showed on the dress the way Chloe did on her samples and cut a couple of the flowers from the paper sheet and applied some Glossy Accents to give them some body and shine before sticking them over the flower on the stamp on the waistband of the dress. The message is also from Chloe! I have entered this Lexi's Creations challenge 112 use your punches and dies

Thank you for looking and i hope this has given you some inspiration !
