Space rockets




Good Afternoon,

Another quick post to show you the card I made for my brother's birthday (not until December) but you have to strike while the ideas are fresh.

I used some navy cardstock and applied white shabby frontage for the star effect. The  little rockets and space ships are a memory box die which i attatched using folded acetate which makes them look as though they are floating. I have also added stars and self adhesive gems to add to the solar system effect.

This is just up my Brother's street, he loves astronomy and planets and space.

Ballon Basket

Hello,

I haven't posted for a while but have still been busy making and creating. Today I am posting a baby girl card. The image is the cute balloon basket from LOTV. I have used the very pretty Michele R design papers and surrounded the image with a hearts border made from a memory box die.
I have added little hearts in between the flowers and have also added a junk yard finds precious zip.

I hope you like it, any comments gratefully received.

Cake Shop.

Hello everyone,

Another card for you to see using the gorgeous Michele R design papers. I used a LOTV stamp - Cake Shop.

The papers are Michele R designs - Magnolia Spring Blossom. How pretty are these papers. There are also element packs you can download too which  go beautifully with the papers.

I have coloured the image with distress markers and added some stickles for the cake icing. The small bow is a Die-namics bow and the cake is a cuttlebug die.
I have entered this card for

Hope you like it.

Good Afternoon,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. I have been busy making a card for my niece, who will be 14 on Tuesday ( she spends all her time texting, so very appropriate image !!) and a New Home card for my son and his girlfriend, who are busy packing for a move to London next weekend.

I am going to share the card I made for my niece today. The image is one of the new LOTV Annabel stamps. This one is called Annabel Texting.

I have coloured her using distress re-inkers and Prisma coloured pencils. The papers are Maja design.
The stitching around the edge of the card is stamped with a LOTV A5 stamp set.The Happy birthday sentiment has been heat embossed using stamping up white embossing powder. I have added a doily and lace ribbon. The fence is cut using a Magnolia die and stamped and embossed. The tag is also a Magnolia die to which I have added a little wooden heart.

I have added an envelope embellishment which I think is a junkyard find one and attached it with a flower button.

A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Handbags !!

Good Morning,

It's another beautiful sunny morning here in the South West. Today I want to share a card I made for a friends birthday.

It's quite a simple design of a handbag made using a Go Kreate die for the flap of the bag. The handle was attached using pearl brads and a button added for the fastener. The butterflies are a Memory Box die and the little ones are from a punch.  The happy birthday sentiment is a Simon says stamp die and stamp set.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend.
