Leafy Accents and Love Quotes

Hi Everyone, today I would like to share a card I made with some of my new stamps that I purchased from Clearly besotted stamps. I used two of their stamp sets to make this card, the stamp sets I used are Love Quotes and Leafy Accents. If you have yet to try this brand of stamps all I can say is they are fabulous quality and they print so well, the customer service is second to none and they provide really fast shipping.

I hope you like my little card.

Lili of the Valley Christmas card

Hi all, well it's been a long time AGAIN! but today I am back with a christmas card that I made over the weekend. The image on this card is from Lili of the Valley, i'm not sure of the name of the stamp. I coloured the stamp with Pro Markers and then added it to a white card blank. Then I took a piece of Kraft cardstock and cut the centre out using my nestabilities and then added it to the card with 3D foam pads.
The sentiment on the bottom is out of the MFT stamp set called Inspired by Christmas. I hope you like this card. I really need to get on and make some more christmas cards as Christmas seems to be approaching fast!
Enjoy your week

Tilda card

Hi all, sorry it has been so long since my last post. I guess sometimes life just takes over. I thought I would show a liitle Tilda card I made. I am in the process of sorting out my craft room and have decided to sell ALL my Tilda stamps! just hope I don't regret it in the future!

All colouring was done using my Pro Markers. And the paper pad I used is by Echo Park and is called Tea for Two.

Hope you like the card. Take care for now and hopefully be back soon.

A friends birthday card.

Well what a stunning day it has been today, it's so nice to have some sunny days, although I have heard a few people complain about the heat!
Anyway here is a card that I made for my friend Jo for her birthday last week. It is a book card and took a little while to make but I feel the end result was worth the time I spent on it.

The image is from C.C Designs and she has been coloured with Pro markers. The papers I used are from Graphic 45 and are from the collection called "A ladies diary" These are truly beautiful papers.

Here is a view from the side, The card is kept closed with a bow tied on the side.

And here is the inside of the card. It is very hard to photograph this card as the light is so bright it makes the inside of the card appear dark in the photo. But below is a closer shot which gives you a better idea of how the inside looks.

I am very pleased to say that my friend loved it which is a relief! I hope you like it too.

Enjoy this lovely weather, be back soon with another card.

More My Favourite Things

Well Good Morning and Happy weekend, I have had such a busy week with lots of running around being taxi service for my younger son, he is getting ready to leave primary school and starts senior school in October. Can't believe I will have no more school runs!

Anyway onto the card. I made this card using stamps and dies from MFT. I cut the pallet out of wood venre which looks really effective. and then once I added to paint die cuts I coloured them and then added Glossy accents over the top.

The Little image has been coloured with Pro markers and her appron has been paper pieced with the same designer paper that was used for the card.
Here is a close up, hope you like it. Have a great weekend whatever you might be doing.

Keeping it simple

Well Hello!! I don't know about you but I am soooo fed up of this rain! it has been raining here all day. So the only thing to do after the house had been cleaned was to craft.

I don't know about you, but my memory is terrible (just ask my mum) lol. So I always like to have some belated birthday cards to hand. I seem to send more of these than birthday cards that are on time!!

As the title of this post says I was keeping the card nice and simple. The stamp I used is from C.C Designs, I don't know what she is called as I purchased her from Michelle at the Card Grotto when she was having a clear out of her stamps and listing them on ebay.

The papers are from My minds eye The Lime twist collection and they are called "Happy go lucky"

The images are all coloured with Pro markers. I purchased the little greeting stamp from The craft room.

A little close up of each card, all slighty different from the others.
