Clean and Simple

Well I decided to use up some of my bits.

I embossed the bottom of a card

tied ribbon over the edge,

added gems, flowers and a sentiment and voila !

I don't usually do clean and simple

but  I seem to be in the mood for them at present !

Well till the next post !!!

Happy crafting everyone !

Flutterby

Flutterby fly from flower to flower ......

Or just onto my card !!! lol !

I have had this Marianne Butterfly die for ages.

I cut it out several times but just couldn't get it right on a card.

So ............

I racked my brains (what little I have !!!)

and came up with this.

I cut the butterfly in white card, coloured using my promarkers

then glittered using stickles glitter glue.

Added some gems and bling it looked fab !

I cut the shaped card using Go-Kreate dies,

inked with distress inks and added gems\along with a sentiment !

I was after something plain and simple

but something that still said "Hello look at me !"

lol !!!

Hope you like it !!

Have a great day.

Vintage

Its my turn over at the Christmas Card Club to set the challenge.

I chose VINTAGE !!

I have been missing for a while, sorry ladies, hopefully soon I will get back into full swing ......

I actually made this ages ago and chose my challenge around it !

Lol !!!

I know but time is so short these days !!

Anyways .... I used a Marianne Die for the card,

Cheery Lynn die for the Holly swirls, a image off a CD

and then added pearl gems all around the edge.

Hope you like it !!

Make sure you pop over and check out the other cards

New Home

Oh boy have I had fun !!!

I should warn you keep scrolling down there are lots of photos !

My God-daughters and their family have just moved house.

Well they are renovating a house so are in a caravan at the moment !

So ..... I thought this weeks Polka Doodles challenge New Home was fitting for them

when they finally move out of the garden and into the house !!

I made a Box and a card !

First the card ..... 

I used the Stampies from the CD All Around and Everywhere.

Both the houses and tree Stampies.

To make them large enough to make a card with I enlarged 

the view on them and used the printing option of current view.

I used double sided foam to give dimension, 

I also cut out doors and window boxes to help the dimension.

Of course I had to glitter it up using my Stickles !

The doors, roofs, window boxes and bits of the trees all got glittered !

The fence is a Marianne die.

I basically layered all of these onto a rectangle card!

Secondly I made a box ! 

Again I used the CD All around and Everywhere for the images.

The paper I used from the CD Picknix 1.

I just love how the words look like clouds !

Again I used foam to layer up the images, the Marianne die for the fence,

a Martha Stewart Punch for the edge of the lid.

The tag and leaves on top were both made using  Marianne dies. 

Flowers are Prima with gems added !!

 When I showed these to my other half he just went "WOW"

Even though I say it myself I love these !!!

Hope you do too !

Anyway come and join in our Challenge at Polka Doodles !
