Well I think this may be the last posting for me tonight so here is the card I have made for my Mom's birthday.

Anyway back to the card.

A Trio of butterflies

2011-08-05T21:28:00.001+01:00

Evening all

Thought I would share with you a card that I have made using a Kanban stamp set called A trio of butterflies.

As I have said above the butterfly stamp is an A5 stamp set from Kanban and is called "A Trio of Butterflies" I managed to get my set of Ebay for £4.95 which was not a bad price to pay for such a gorgeous stamp. The swirls stamp below is also a Kanban A5 stamp set the same price as the butterflies one and again was purchased from Ebay.

I have cut the butterflies to 9cm x 9.5cm as the stamp itself is not square and distressed it with the Tea dye distress ink. Believe it or not the card colours are from one of the packs of card that Lidl sell occasionally for £1.99 for 25 sheets of different colour card. Its weight is 270gsm and works well for layering as well as for a good sturdy card base.

I have tried to match the inside of the card to the outside and think it has worked quite well.

Thank you for visiting my blog and any comments would be gratefully appreciated.

Brothers Birthday Card and entry for the here comes the boys challenge

2011-05-01T11:04:00.002+01:00

Morning All

Well it was my brothers 31st birthday yesterday and as I love making Mens Cards (NOT) and he does love his computer games I chose to use one of the Greeting Card stamps of a little boy playing computer games.

It is also my entry for the "Here Comes the Boys" challenge.

To be honest this was an easy card to make as I had already stamped and coloured this image in and I bet like many crafters we have a huge stash of stamped and coloured images.

The sentiment is from a stamp set called "Kids Quotes" and is from Inkadinkado. Well with my brother being 31 you can guess how many fingers he held up and yes it was more than 1 but less than 3.

The papers are from the mens pack from country companions and they are gorgeous to use.

Morning All

Well this weekend my daughter has had 2 of her friends Birthday parties to go to so here are the cards I made using images she had chosen.

Ellie's 6th Birthday Card.

Image is from Lili of the Valley and is called "It's My Party" and the background papers are from a paper pack called "Spring Time" and is from the Forever Friends collection of papers.

This adorable image has been coloured with promarkers.

The sentiment was computer generated

My friend had bought one of the Bazzil Bling templates which are a little expensive for what they are but they are so worth it especially when you think how expensive the ready made swirl embellishments are.

Ashleigh's Birthday Card

Image is from Lili of the Valley and is called "Little Ballerina" and the background papers are from a paper pack called "Spring Time" and is from the Forever Friends collection of papers.

This adorable image has been coloured with promarkers.

And a swirl at the top of the image.

Thinking of you/Sympathy card for a fellow Docrafter

2011-04-27T22:37:00.001+01:00

Evening All

Well a few days ago I found out that a fellow do-crafter wasn't well and to top it all she lost her little fur baby Ellie, who only recently was made famous by Joanna Sheens newsletter. I was in the process of making her a card when I heard about little Ellie but i have still decided to send the card as she is Hamster mad and I do hope that she finds another little companion soon, as I am sure Holly and Ellie will send her another little one soon.

Most of the elements i have used have come from my friend Rachel who is also on do-crafts and we found the little toppers in her craft cupboard in a tin and I think they work really well.

On another sad note I too have lost one of my little fur-babies my 18 year old cat Tiger. He will be missed but to be honest he has been living on borrowed time for the last five or six years and definitely was the best fed cat on the block as his main diet was cod fillet and chicken breast. He is at peace now and playing with his little friend Star who passed about 8 years ago on Rainbow bridge.

Faith - A Digi stamp by Sugar Nellie

2011-02-09T22:25:00.000Z

Evening all

I thought I would share with you tonight a card that I have been thinking about making for a while. The main reason I have been thinking about making it is these gorgeous flowers, I like to sit and look at them but they have sat in their box for long enough so here are their first outing and I do hope you like what I have done.

The card measures 14.5cm square and has been made using 270g/m card which is lovely to use.

A close up of those gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaves are Prima rose leaves.

Another view of my card. The background papers are called summer bloom and are beautiful to use.

My post for tonight is a little late but still in time for the challenge (only just though).

I love this digi image from Victoria Case definitely one for the girls (lol) and I just fancied using a different sort of image. I needed to come away from the cute even if for one card.

Hope you like it.

Bah! Humbug - Challenge 4 - An Oldie but a Goldie.....

2011-02-02T13:47:00.000Z

Afternoon all

Here is my card for this weeks challenge and I have a confession to make. I bought this stamp over 5 years ago but this is the first time I have used it (hangs head in shame).

I think it is a little bright for me but as I say nothing ventured nothing gained.

The image I have used is called "Snowboard Penguin" and is/was made by stampendouus. I have coloured him in with promarkers.

I hope the flowers and brads look ok as I was not sure at first but decided to leave it alone.

Greeting was stamped directly onto the paper after I have mounted it onto the card stock. The greeting is from Lili of the Valley and is from one of their sentiment packs.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and for any comments you may like to leave.

LOTV - Challenge 82 - Anything but a square

2011-01-31T21:59:00.000Z

Evening all

Here is my card for this weeks challenge.

Well it's definitely not square. I cut the card base with one of the Marianne circle frame dies and for a change I have gone for a lilac card instead of pink or red.

My image is called "It's my party" and can be purchased here. I have coloured her in with promarkers and matted the image onto silver Mirri card.

The flowers are paper flowers from my stash and the centre of the middle flower has been embellished with a papermainia velvet brad.

Sugar nellie challenge card I forgot to enter

2011-01-30T13:10:00.000Z

Hi All

This is a card I forgot to upload for the Sugar Nellie challenge last week.

Base card measures 14.5cm square and is 170 gsm, lovely for a base card.

The image I have chosen to use is called "Elise" from Funky kits. She has been coloured it in with promarkers.

The papers are from papermania and are can be found in the pack called "Summer Bloom".

I used some of my little red heart gems from my stash to decorate the corners.

My greeting is one from Craftwork cards as I seem to have loads of these at the moment.

Another view of the card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may like to leave and I can't believe I forgot to enter this card.

Bah! Humbug - Challenge 3 - Christmas Crackers

2011-01-26T22:49:00.000Z

Well I think tonight is the night for uploading as this is my 3rd upload tonight and I think I still have one more challenge card to upload after this one.

So here is my entry for this weeks challenge.

I think this is becoming one of my favourite shapes for my cards and it is so easy to do. It has been cut using 270gsm card with the Marianne Circle die No112 which easily cuts through both pieces of card. The circle mats have been cut using circle nestabilities in silver mirror card and white super smooth stamping card.

The image I have chosen is another Lili of the Valley stamp (I think I am addicted to these at the moment), it is called "James Bear - Christmas Cracker" and can be found here. I have coloured the image with my promarkers.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may like to leave.
