50th Birthday

Hello Everyone,

Recently I was invited to a 50th Birthday party by a friend.

I made this card from old pieces of fabric

and some collaged and gessoed papers.

The continue the theme, this is the tag for her very nice bottle of wine (well I hope it was good!)

Birthday Cards

 I made these cards with lots of inspiration from Craft Stamper magazine.

The girl is a free stamp from a creative stamping magazine and the background stamps are Tim Holtz Stampers anonymous.

 I liked it so much I made it twice!

Raining Hearts Tilda Birthday Card

Happy Sunday! I hope you are all having a good one :)
This Raining Hearts Tilda is coloured in with Distress Inks - I think its easier than using promarkers.

My eldest daughter sent me a voucher to spend at the local craft shop for Mother's Day :)
I spent it pretty quickly! and one of the items I bought was this lovely Anja die by Marianne Creatables. It's so delicate and lacy.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
TOMIC - Rectangular Card and Spring Colours Inspired by Magazine
Totally Gorjuss - Spots and Stripes

Thanks for visiting my blog :)

Happy Sunday everyone!!

I thought I would show you the birthday card I made for my youngest son - he's 14 now (time has gone so quickly)

I used a free SVG cutting file. It's from Mardenz you should definitely look at all the free cuts there!! they are fantastic.

card for a man

This card is made using a Tim Holtz embossing folder and distress inks; weathered wood, antique linen and walnut stain.
I copper embossed most of is except for the wording which is black and copper sprinkled together. Its very difficult to show the embossing in a photo as its really shiny.

I am entering this card into the Stampman challenge #8 - cards for men

and also The creative cottage challenge #26 - embossing (there is lots on my card both dry and heat) And Challenge up your life #30 - Easel Card

Birthday card

I am entering this card into sew many cards challenge - anything goes
and Anonyme Scrappere - sketch

Easel Card

Hi everyone, I made my daughter an easel card for her birthday. I love making them as they are so easy and very effective.

I wanted to remind myself about summer ........ or the summer we might have had!? The icecream colours are lovely.

I stamped the girl and paper pieced the pieces.

The apple I embossed with red glitter.

The technique for cutting the shaped card is from a past issue of craftstamper magazine using spellbinders dies - very easy

I am entering this card into an easel card challenge on the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge site

and also Stamp Something - something to celebrate

and stamp, scrap and doodle - anything goes

Thanks for looking and all the nice comments you send me.
