Sending Hugs

Well I liked the effect of the style of my last card so much I made myself get my craft things out and made this using Cuddly Buddly's pre-coloured image Don't feel too good.

I also used these wonderful papers A Portfolio of papers - Brown and A patchwork of papers - blue. The sentiment is from 12 round Greetings. I used Marianne dies flowers and leaves and leaf swirl.

Happy crafting everyone and thank you all for the lovely comments and emails about Grandma!!

Tiered Easel thank you card !!

I made this card for Cuddly Buddly using .....

(I begged my Aunt to use her dies !!!)

Mine are a coming for my birthday me thinks !!! lol !!! 

I saw my other half write down the details !!!)

 Grand circle nesties and Grand scalloped circles for the shape of the card !!!

Basically you make three easel cards all of descending size 

then place them on each other so the card in front holds the easel from behind !!

I had to use the same image and papers as my last card for them as my 

computer decided to not like the Microsoft update and shut me out !!
Thankfully I had printed loads last time and could make a card !

I decorated the circles using on the back Marianne Branch forest

The center I used Marianne swirl leaf all over to create texture,

On the front of the card I used the smaller leaf die from Marianne flowers and leaves !

The image is a pre-coloured one Little Sweeties bouquet

Papers are Patchwork of papers - purple !! YUMMY !!

and I blinged it up with Heart gems and Stickles Star dust !!!

So now I have to reload all my email contacts and all my internet bookmarks !!

Thank goodness I backed up my photos and videos !!!

So ..... happy crafting !!!

A card for Grandma

I made this card for Cuddly Buddly and have given it to my lovely Gran. 

She is becoming much weaker now, its so sad to watch. Her "colours" are lilacs !!!

 At one point there was every shade of purple you could get in her wardrobe and no other colour !! 

Lol !!! Still it does suit her ! So I couldn't give this card to anyone but her !!

I used Little Sweetie's bouquet pre printed image, A patchwork of papers - lilac; 

I got SO excited when I opened the download for the papers they are AMAZING !!! 

I LOVE them !!!

The ribbon, flowers and lace I had in my stash, I have been stroking the lace for two years,

I took a deep breath when I cut it !! lol !!! 

The sentiment is from Garden Vignettes Tickets.

I used my Marianne corner die LR0143, the small leaves from Marianne flower and leaves LR0156 

and the swirl is from Marianne's leaf swirl die.

Hope you like it !!! Gran did !!!

Happy crafting and have a great weekend ! 

I am looking after my cousins daughter today so I guess the house will be not so tidy !!!

The sentiment tags are beautiful, these are Christmas Tickets and of course I blinged it up with my Stickles Star Dust glitter glue !! I really prefer this "shade" as it doesn't dry changing the colours of the image below like some "shades" do.

Walking in clover

I made this card for Cuddly Buddly, I am just loving these images !!! I decoupaged the image up, wow it was so easy to cut !! I really thought it would be fiddly but it wasn't !!! GREAT ! Well, as I am trying to avoid doing my normal square card ......... I know its square but its a tent card !! Not made one of these for years !

The pre-coloured image is 3D Toby Tumble Walking in Clover Papers are Toby Tumble Floral Boquet. I glittered the flowers with Star Dust Stickles and used Marianne dies Bird and fence; LRO205 and Branch Forest LR0150. I used flowers and gems from my stash and the butterfly is a Die-namics die. The sentiment is from the 3D sheet I just cut it out and stuck it on !!! lol !!

Well I thought I would give this to my Gran who had a long day yesterday at Jimmys for her treatment. I am sure she will like it, she likes anything we all make !!

Wiggly Giggly Baby girl !!

Well my paper trimmer is well and truly capish !! I am now waiting for a new cutting rod so I cut straight lines without raggedy edges !!! lol !!! So .............. it kicked me out of my rut and made me create some shaped cards using my dies !!! Its just too easy to do square !! Not only did  I get kicked out of my rut I also got some renewed enthusiasm !! So much so I did my Saturday Cuddly Buddly stuff early !!! lol ! I even made two cards instead of the required one !!!

For this card  I got out my trusty Grand Calibur and made the easel card using dies. The paper and the image is from baby Girls Bath and Bedtime The ticket sentiments are BRILLIANT !!! They are Wee Ones Ticket Sentiments. The leaves are Marianne Die LRo156 and of course I had to add some pearl gems and stickles glitter (star Dust). Flowers and ribbon from my stash !!

Then I went on to make this card !!! I used Marianne Die Frame Circle for the card and the paper is from Cottage collection - Rose. The leaves are the larger from the Marianne Die LRo156 and the sentiments are more from the Wee Ones Ticket Sentiments.

Well the only person who I know is having a baby is having a girl ........ but I now have 6 cards made !!! lol !! I just am so addicted to them!!! lol !! Well Hope you like them !!!
Happy crafting !!!
