Card made from a Marianne Creatable die !!

Phew its been a busy week !!! I finally got to make a quicky card ............ roll on school starting again !!! hehe !!! Well I just love this die from Marianne. I folded a piece of card over in half and cut the die so it didnt cut the whole part of the outer pattern on one round, then cut two more so the the embbosing showed on the front and the base niceley !! I just love the effect it gives as a card !!! The image is LOTV which I glittered up and stamped ticket from Whimsy Stamps. Not sure who its for yet but you never know !!! I am entering it into Papertake weekly where there has to be a dimension to your project !!

Its a Girl and a double easel card

Well ............ as I made the twisted easel the other day I thought I would have a go at a double easel card !!! Wow !!! What an amazing effect !!

My cousin is expecting a baby in June so I thought I would make a 'its a girl' card as I have a boy one ready ............ you know odds are she would have a girl if I only had a boy card made !!!!

I have entered this into the Forever Friends monthly challenge, check out the great cards there !

I found the words off the internet and printed them off on the laptop, flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts glittered up, the paper is Papermania and I used a Forever Friends Decoupage.

My partner as I finished this was just shouting wow to my easter card and how clever the twist is, so of course I had to put this under his nose !!! He was amazed at the effect us ladies get with our cards bless him !!

Hope you like it I have taken various pictures of different angles as its not do easy to photograph !!!!!! And no I couldn't resist the flowers !!!

Easter Card

Well ............ I sat and looked at my goodies I got from the NEC and Harrogate fairs and decided that I wasn't going to leave them in the bag still !!! I know terrible !!! So ................ I also thought I would do something I hadn't done before; a side easel card ......... this is what I came up with after spending hours just looking at my new stash !!! The image is Warren from Craftwork Cards, the flowers are from a Doohickey die which I inked up around the edges and added a paper flower in. The stamped sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, one the new releases I just had to have !!! Paper is from Papermania and the swirl is a Marianne Creatable !!! All stash from the shows !!! Phew ...................... Oh yes and I added some bling !!! A girl just has to add bling hehe!!!! As some of you know Gran isn't well so my Aunt and I are looking after her so card making is a welcome release for us both at present !!! I am entering this into Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything goes and Creative Inspirations - punches and dies; The Crazy Challenge - just add flowers and the Crafty pad challenge too !!!

Grans Birthday card

Hi there all !!! Its my Grans 93rd Birthday on Monday and this is the card I made for her. The photo on it is actually her when she was a bridesmaid to her best friend !! I love this picture.

I used papers from Bearly Mine Designs from the Vintage collection, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used my new purchase my Marianne swirl !! Mmm love it ! I dont have a doily die so I used actual doilys behind the picture, and one inside to write on, on layed papers as the front !

As I lived with Gran when I was a child I am entering this into Paper Plays Challenge for Mum. And into The Crafty Pad challenge - flowers !!

Hope you like it, Have a great day !!

Saturday Challenge - Butterflies

Hi all !!! Well I hope you all had a great weekend and the Mums amongst us got throughly spoiled ! This card was for my Aunts Mothersday card, she is a truly special lady and couldn't be more of a mum to me.

As the Saturday Challenge is butterflies and this has them on it (in amongst the flowers) I thought it would be great for that !!! Due to Gran being poorly I didn't get much chance to make it ............... but I used the free disc that came with Aprils Papercraft Inspirations., glitterd up the decoupage and added those wonderful flowers !!!! hehe !!! Just loving the papers on the disc !!!

Have a great day whatever you are doing !
