A saturday evening in.

Hi Bloggers!

I have had a Saturday evening in and have made a couple of cards.

I did some stitching around the edge and used one of my Lily Of The Valley sentiments on the card. I am quiet pleased with how it has turned out. I may just send it out as a RAK. If you would like it, please leave me a message on my blog and I will randomly pick someone.

The second card I have made is using a new Cuttlebug embossing folder called Butterfly's. This then has an inked up Paper Butterfly. This is again, finished off with a Lily Of The Valley sentiment. What do you think?

Catch up again soon.

What a cold and wet Sunday.

Hello Bloggers :)

What a cold and wet day it is today. It is the 12 June 2011 and we have the woodburner on! LOL
As it is cold and wet, I have spent the day making things. I have made some strawberry jam and three cards - oh and a mess! LOL

Here are the cards:

The first is a flower card using a Martha Stewart Punch that I purchased yesterday in Hobbycraft. The punch embosses and cuts the flowers. It was such a nice completed flower that I thought I would make it a central feature of my card.

The second card is using a Little Claire Stamp. I am not sure I like this card - or the stamp. x

Maybe it is the colours I have used when colouring with the Promarkers?!

The final card is a stamped Tatty Ted coloured with Promarkers. The stamp is from the Do-crafts Magazine and I have only just got round to using it.

Anyway, as always, look forward to your comments on my cards.
Happy Crafting :)

What have I been doing?

Well, lots of things but not much crafting!

I have made a couple of cards in the last 24hrs for RAK's - so keep an eye on the post bloggers. One may land on your doorstep.

I do love 3d - so made this :)

I have also made about 5 of these teabag holders. They are very simple to make and look quiet effective with a couple of Twynings teabags inside. Ideal for crafty friends when they have a refreshing break. I have shown two photo's - One from the outside and one from the inside. What do you think?

Many thanks for all your kind comments. I do appreciate you leaving a comment whilst you are passing through.
Happy crafting :)

More crafting for May 2011

Hi Bloggers!

I have two cards to share with you today. I may have mentioned before that I am a member of Little Claire's Stamps and every month you have a new stamp and a pack to make a card. Here is what I have made today.

The first card I really love - The Gerbara. I love the colours of the papers and the matching Promarker pens with Pastel Pink and Pastel Blue with Cool Grey.




The second card is using the Bicycle stamp - I decided not to colour this one in, but to leave it black as I thought that it would look to fussy. Here is the outside:



And the inside.......



So, that is two cards using the lovely Little Claire's stamps.
Thanks for popping by. Please do leave me a message to say you have been :)

Phew - some time to craft.....

Hi

Well, where does time go? I don't seem to have had much time to craft since the last post.
I hope all my followers are well?

I just wanted to share with you two things for today:



The first, is a card I have made with my little Claire's stamp - from the stamp club. It has been sitting on my desk for a while and I have just got around to making it up. Hope you like it.













The second is my card display. When I visited the Ideal Home Exhibition in April, I saw this in one of the house displays. Since then, It appeared in a local shop and I just had to snap it up to display my cards received from crafting friends. It is on the wall in my craft room. Can you see a card on there that you have sent to me?

Hope you all have a great week.

Cards for Easter

Hello :)

I haven't blogged for a while as life has been hectic. In fact, I haven't made any cards for a while as I have been to busy.
I visited the NEC Hobbycrafts show in March 2011 with friends and treated myself to some crafting goodies - a Big Shot was one pressie and I haven't even played with it yet :(

Anyway, time off work coming up with some Tim Holtz dies - watch this space.

Here is one of the cards that I made this weekend for my dear brother - Hope you like it :)

Are we in March?

Hello

Well, where has the last month gone? I have been so busy that I haven't been able to find the time to post to my blog.

Here are two cards that I made to give to friends for Birthdays. Need to practice a bit more with my Promarkers!

Hope you like them :)
