Mens Cards

I made these two cards using the papers with the 'Mens Cards' special magazine by Making Cards, there is a load of papers in there and some brilliant ideas.

I made this Pop-up card for Jules/DevonBunny on Crafts Beautiful Site

Jules is the member of the month on the Crafts Beautiful forum. She sent sucha lovely card and ATC to me when my little one was ill, I wanted to send something in return.

And now

are the new Moderators on the forum, which I was very honoured to accept!!

I made this for a fellow Crafter.

I saw this and thought of you.......................This card is completely different to my usual style, I thought I would try some doodles, I used some 8x8 paper from Dovecraft by British Designer Kate Knight, I love these papers they are so pretty! I roughly added layers to the blooms, not supposed to be perfect decoupage, then added the gems and had a play with doodles all the black is doodling. Then decided to stitch the ribbon round the edge, using my new single hole punch. I hope the recipient likes it & the little gift inside.!!

Going Buggy-Blog Candy Challenge

Hi, Imade this handbag card, using my own template, it is also made out of one piece of double sided A4 card. The Challenge is to make a black & White card with one accent colour, this has the cream as the accent colour. Congratulations on your 5,000 hits.xx

Card for my mum on Mothers Day

I used decoupage sheets that came with March Making Cards Magazine, they are lovely!!

Luckily found some great doublesided card at Craft Central, so it worked well with the fold of this card.

Mothers Day card

This is quite a simple Mothers Day, done for posting, so it doesnt get squashed. Still nice and pink though.

'Dolly'

I made this dolly for the competition on Crafts Beautiful, the challenge was to made something using their downloads which are on their site.
I made a dolly at Christmas for my youngest daugther & promised my eldest daughter, so here she is. It is a very quick pattern to follow & very pleased with the results.

Parasol

This is made using the 'Bella' parasol template/pattern from ARTYFARTYDESIGN

I think they would make ideal gifts for weddings, for the Bride to hold, aswell as a rolling pin or Horse shoe. I just need to make the box now.

BIRTHDAY CARD

This card is made using a large 'HOUSE MOUSE' Rubber Stamp, I just used ordinary colouring pencils for this.

A few Bookatrix Cards I have made previously.

I added quilled Roses I had made to this Bookatrix

I love making bookatrix cards, they make such an ornate card, as you can see I especially like making them in Silver Holographic or mirri card, I think they look as if they are made of silver.

Birthday shoes!!

I made these cards a year or so ago, using the then TSV by dawn Bibby from QVC

Card using Wrapping Paper

I saw this wrapping paper & thought it would make a great card! I used the tag to put 'Dad' on, the wording is foam letters with I have used hot foil on.

Happy Birthday

This has to be one of my most favourite Rubber Stamps, I also have a cross stitch of this too, its called 'Gathering Sea shells' but I love it as is the spitting image of my eldest daughter when she was small,Im sure she even had a similar dress.
This I used the stamp to make a decoupage out of the image.

Yeah!!!!! I won a Papermania Wheelable Tote & mini Tote from Docrafts & Craft Beautiful!!!I only got told on tuesday & its here today thursday!! WoooHoooo!!! I might be able to clear my table off atlast, well for 5 mins atleast!!!

Two Challenges in one Charmed Card & Crafts Sketch & Caardvark Valentine~Lovefest

This card was made using the sketch in this month challenge from Charmed Cards and Crafts, its the first time I've done a sketch challenge & then I thought, adding the Hearts & the Hot foil Greeting it would also work for Caardvarks Valentine ~ Love Fest. I really enjoyed this, as I thought I wouldnt be able to manage it!!
