Roses

Hello, this was a suggestion from a friend who liked the flower arrangements I did on some cards for her.  I found it very therapeutic when my mojo for making cards disappeared because my Mum was very unwell.

Looking at it now, I think I could have added a few more things but I am pleased with the way it worked out.  My friend is on holiday so I will have to wait a couple of weeks to find out if it is what she wanted.

Anniversary

Hello, this is the other anniversary card I made.  I have used a digital paper from Artylicious Fantasy Floral.  

The central embossed image is by Clarity Stamps but it might have been deleted from their range as I couldn't find it on their website.  The flowers are Prima.

Forever Friends

Hello, today I have - Yesss!! - a girly card!  This is one of the Forever Friends - coloured with PMs - images which came with a kit a long time ago now and I cannot remember where I got it.  The butterfly paper was in the same kit.

It was a bit fiddly but reversing the die cut hearts colours and 3d'ing the hearts so they stood out made the card different.

Footballer

Hello, another "boy" card today.  This one uses the largest footballer die cut from LOTVs Mini Masterpieces sheet 29.  I have used some holographic card to  back the footballs paper and die cut the number and letters.

Hot Rod

Hello, I seem to be making mostly boys cards at the moment and I don't find them easy!  I have used another precoloured die cut on this one from KraftyHands which I picked up from Oyster Stamps a fair while ago now and I am not sure they still stock them.

I have used Kraft card which Hels Sheridan showcased on Create & Craft recently and I think it is brilliant for masculine cards.  The sentiment is by LOTV.

Yeehaw!

Hello, today I have a birthday card made for my great nephew using one of the die cuts from the new Mini Masterpieces from LOTV.  This is number 30.  They are great for those quick cards.  

The sentiment is also one of LOTVs - General Greetings Small which just fit inside the Bottle Cap Die from Whimsy Stamps although they do a set of stamp sentiments to co-ordinate with this die.

Fanciful Flight

Hello, posts are a bit sporadic at present what with watching the Olympics and my Mum being ill.  Also my mojo is a bit low at the moment unsurprisingly. 

This is another card I designed for J&C Creations and I have used Sizzix Bigz dies available from their website.  They are all by Tim Holtz and called Fanciful Flight (butterfly), the flower is from Tattered Florals and the leaves from Tattered Leaves.  It was quite difficult getting a decent photo done with the leaves off the card.

I have added an extra flower in the centre of the die cut and a few extra in the opposite corner.  I have sandwiched patterned paper between the wings of the butterfly die cuts (you will need to run the paper and card twice through the die cutter for a full butterfly).  I have glittered the body and added black flower stamens for the antennae.  

If you have any questions please email me.

Fleur

Hello, the image on my card today is Fleur gathering flowers with Manon by Stampavie and has been coloured with Promarkers.  

The flowers were a bunch from Hobbycraft which I separated.  The ribbon is from eBay.

The backing paper is from a Glitz Pretty in Pink pad.
