Good Luck Card

Hi everyone

Just a quick posting today. This card was great fun to make, I used some paper from stash, the elephent is from magnolia stamps and coloured using water colour pencils and the sentiment is by Inca rubberstamps. I may not be posting for the next few days as their has been a death in the family, but may do if I have time.

Happy crafting

Gardening

Hi All

Another posting (two in two weeks... I'm on a roll! lol). This card was made quite quickly, but still love how it came out. The tags are normal postal tags that 'fell' into basket at local craft store, the lettering is from stash (can't remember company sorry.) and the trowl and fork are by papermania (will check.). The tags can be easily removed so that the recipt can use them for tying to containers in shed/greenhouse once they have finished with card.

Well got to go, happy crafting

First card in ages...

Hi Guys

Sorry its late but as promised here is the first of the cards that I have made ready to be sold. I really like how this card turned out. The flowers are by imaginisce, the stamp is a new addition to collection from Daisy and Dandelion and is called 'some bunny loves you...', the green swirls were made using a punch and the gems in the centre of the flowers were from stash. Apologies that it's not right way up but computer would not let me flip it for some reason.

Enjoy your day, now off blog hopping

Some exciting news....

Hi Guys

Sorry for the lack of posts but with exams and then moving back home from uni I have not had much time to craft so looking forward to the break and lots of crafting.

Well suppose you are wondering what the exciting news is (well its exciting to me).... well a family friend has asked me to make regular installments of cards that they can sell on my behalf - its taken alot of convincing from people to get me to do this as I felt that my cards weren't of a high enough standard to be sold but after some convincing I have finally agreeded, and with the first installment being handed over at the weekend I am feeling slightly nervous.... I will begin uploading the cards over the weekend for you all to look at

Happy Crafting

Floral

Hi Guys

I got some craft time today where I was able to play with some of my stash. I love the fact that this card turned out differently to what I had planned and in fact I think it is better for it. On to the card the flowers are by Papermania, the ribbon is from stash and the floral paper is part of the Forever Friends Collection - the brown swirls were made using some old paper from stash and a punch. I also included a close up of the flower section - though niether photo does the card justice as it looks alot better in real life

Sorry for this being a quick post.

Thanks for stopping by

My first Tilda Card

Hi Everyone

After months of looking at all the sweet Tilda and Edwin images out there in blog land I have finally decided to purchase some for myself and am so glad that I did as they are fantastic!!. Once again sorry for being absent again for so long but I've had hardly any time to craft the last few months now hopefully that will no longer be the case, as I recently stocked up on craft goodies from a new craft store I discovered in coventry. The backing paper is actually from y stash of christmas papers but I think that it works really well here, what do you think? I have also added some close ups as the picture of the whole card does not really do it justice.

Tilda was coloured using my LePlummeII pens, the tag and ribbon are from stash (sorry can't remember who they are by) the backing paper is by BoBunny and is called 'Tis the season treasure - part of their christmas selection. The flower is from papermania fabric flowers and the brown swirls were made using the new addition to my punch collection.

Thanks for stopping by
