New cards

Another few cards that I have made over the past few days, I hope that you enjoy them.  All comments will be gratefully received.

.

7 x 7 card, layered with one piece of card which was embossed with hearts.  I used the Banner Parade die from Memory Box.  I cut out the flag banner and then I cut out the letters from Die-Versions 'A Hint of Lime' font.  I then attached the swirls die underneath the banners and attached a couple of stars and hearts.

I then finished off the card with pink, blue and lemon ribbon and pearls at each of the corners.

This is the very first Sympathy card that I have done, it was someone who asked me to 'make her a few, as she didn't know when she would need one', each to their own I suppose.

I layered the card with black and cream card, I used Noble Dies - Double Pierced Rectangles - Set B, by Sue Wilson to create the cream and black frames.  I used the 6th and 7th smallest die and the insert from the 5th smallest die so that I could put the flower on the top.  

The flower was from Die-namics (My Favourite Things)

The Easter Cards were made using a variety of different dies Happy Easter Egg by Memory Box, I also used the decorative stand from the Faberge Eggs.  I only attached a piece of ribbon and 2 flowers at the side of the card.

Happy Easter die, decorative stand a couple of roses and some pearls.

I just used a square die that I had in my box, don't know what it is called (i'm sorry), Happy Easter words and two flourishes in the corners along with some pearls.

Happy Easter die, with embossed card, pearls, butterfly, ribbon and roses.

Faberge egg and decorative stand, blue ribbon, flourish in corner, Happy Easter die used and 2 flowers.

Anya Faberge egg used decorative stand, flourish in top corner, butterfly, flowers, pearls and Happy Easter die.

I have a few other cards, which I will try and post later on today.  

I hope that you enjoy my cards.

New cards

Hiya everyone

Here are a few more cards that I have only recently made, I do hope that you like them.

7 x7 white card.  I die cut Creative Expenssions Craft Dies by Sue Wilson - Elephant, Giraffe and Lion and some of the Signature Collection dies by Sara Davies - Rattle, Dummy and Bottle.

6 x 6 card, I cut out dies by Sue Wilson - Elephant, Giraffe, Lion and Pitter Patter on the top left hand corner.  

DL card - used dark purple and light purple and cut out dies to decorate the bunting.  The dies used were from Die-Versions - A Hint of Lime font.

This card was created by using the free gift that I got from one of my magazines.  I only used 'Happy Birthday' and 2 of the roses from the die.  The heart shaped die along the bottom was another free gift.

Another 6 x 6 card, another die by Sue Wilson - New Arrival, Stork and Baby.  The Pitter Patter and the Elephant were from Sue Wilson - Stuffed Animals.

I hope you like the other new cards that I have created, hopefully there will be some more in the next few days.

Have a great weekend.

Bit By the Bug Tuesday: "Beach Bug"

It is time for another Bit By the Bug Tuesday. The day where I introduce you all to the newest freebies over at Creative Bug on the Loose. This week we have...

"Beach Bug"

Here is my card ....

All the papers and embellishments came from a magazine that I subscribe to.  I cut out the top of a Big Top tent, a balloon and a 'Have Fun' sentiment.  The yellow 'lace like' border is actually self-adhesive Craft Lace made of paper.  It is very quick and easy to use.  I then used foam letters to put Happy Birthday vertically down the left hand side.

This little bug is having the time of her life making sandcastles and looking forward to having a dip in the ocean soon.  

So, what are you waiting for? To take advantage of this sweet image, head on over to Creative Bug on the Loose and follow the instructions on how to bring this cute little guy home with you. While you are over there, don't forget to check out all the great digis Naomi has available in the store for purchase and don't forget to leave her a little love too.

I've caught the bug,

Happy Birthday - Fresh Brewed Blog

Hee hee hee hee, I have a cheek to publish this one, but I thought I would try anyway. lol I am going to enter this little card into Fresh Brewed Designs - 24 hour Caffeine Crazy Challenge* May It is a Happy Birthday card and I will say that my colouring in really isn't anything to write home about. I am going to have to get more practice in this, but I would rather be making the cards that I do. I really don't like showing of my colouring in as it looks like a child's. lol Maybe I could just say that it was a small child that I know that coloured it in for me. Do you think I would get away with that? Maybe not now, especially after telling you what I was thinking about. Oh well, I'm too honest for my own good. Anyway, here goes my little card. The background paper is not showing up in the picture, it is a lovely rainbow coloured background which goes from light to dark at the bottom and I thought that it would at least give it a lovely background to the image. Sorry that it is not showing this up, I have tried taking the picture quite a few times, but it is not showing up the paper. I know this isn't very good, in fact it is very bad, but I tried my best and that is all that I can do. lol

 

 

 

Happy 4th Birthday Allsorts

 
I would like to post this card to wish Allsorts a Happy 4th Birthday. This card was created by making up 3 boxes, large, medium, small. Once the boxes were made up I put on various embellishments, from my stash. I used red crystals, white pearls across the top box, roses round the side, I put flowers, hearts and cakes round the sides of the boxes and to finish off the cake I put clear crystals and 2 pink butterflies. I made a base for the cake to sit on, then I made a box to cover the cake. I put acetate inside each of the spaces in the box so that you can see the cake, to top of the box I put on a lid.

Happy 4th Birthday Allsorts.
 

Birthday Card for Sandra

Hi, This is the second (similar) card that I made for my friend Sandra for her birthday. I am going to enter this card into the Allsorts Challenge - Anything Goes. I am entering this card into the Forever Friends: Monthly Challenge - Anything Goes. I am also going to enter this card into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Flower Power. The only differences between this one and the last one is that there are more flowers on the card and I also attached 3 decorative hat pins into the flowers. The sentiments were also changed to To a Special Friend and Happy Birthday.
