Delighted to share

 

 

 

Hi

I'm just making a quick visit to my blog to share the card I made for my daughter in law's birthday.

 


I used the stencil, Flower petals, from Alexandra Renke for the background and the flower stamp and die, Delighted for you by Pink Fresh Studio.

The flowers are coloured with various brands of marker pen.

I added some Mother of Pearl sequins to finish.

Thanks for popping in

Poinsettia Christmas card

 

 

 

Hi,

I thought I'd share one of this years batch of Christmas cards with you. I started nice and early this year and do have most of them done now, just the individual kids ones that take me ages to colour. Maybe I should have started those first.

This one however is definately an adult card

 


 The poinsettia paper is a download from Reachdream on Etsy printed onto white card.

I stamped my greeting ( Alex Siberia) in clear ink and embossed it in silver EP onto white vellum, cut a strip wider than the design base so I could tuck the edges around the base.

I placed the base on the main card and added the scallop frame ( Lawn Fawn) neatly over the design.

I finished off with a few diamonte


I'll be back soon with some more designs.

Thanks for popping in

Art Deco Male card

 

 

Hello,

I'm popping in today to share a more masculine card.

 

I'm not very good at man cards but this die, Geo Tile from Pinkfresh Studio, made me think man straight away although in different colours it would also be great as a feminine card.



I used 3 different shades of green pearlescent card on a gold background for this one. I used double sided adhesive paper on the back of each sheet of colour which made life a little easier.

I did find it quite theraputic actually although a bit fiddly.

Thank you for visiting

Wedding card

 Hello,

 

Yes I'm back with another card to share. This one is the wedding card I made for my grand daughter and her partner.

 


 

A bit of a cheat this one as I downloaded some watercolour clipart from Etsy for this card. The designer I used is called Reachdream and their images are stunning. I'll be sharing other makes using these images in the future.

I used a sheet of vellum to print the bride and grooms names in a pale yellow and as soon as it came through the printer, I added some gold embossing powder. The printer ink stays wet for longer on vellum making it easy to use this method as long as you remember to use an anti static cloth first.

After cutting the vellum into a strip I cut the main image to size. I placed the vellum onto the image where I wanted it and added a small strip of yellow card folded over to sandwich the two papers. 

I  used my Cropadile to punch a hole and add an eyelet. I then stuck to image to my card base before adding a die cut Congratulations  from Britania Dies above the names and some gold flat back pearls to finish.

I'm really pleased with the end result. I hope you like it too.


See you soon.

Hexagon football theme birthday

 

Hi

Yes it's me, trying really hard to be a good blogger.

 

I'm here today to share the card I made for my son back in July



My lad is Hull city fan who play in black and amber so it was a non brainer to use this fabulous die from Spellbinders. City's away strip is sky blue so I used that for the base and black, amber and white for the hexagons

I was pleased with the outcome and son was impressed so I'm a happy mum.


See you soon

Mothers Day card

 

 Hi There,

 I'm Popping in to share the card I made for my mum in law for Mothers day this Sunday. She'll be 99 years old in July and, although she now in a care home, she's both physically and mentally very well.



I used a stencil from Honey Bee Stamps with Nuvo embellishment mouse on the card base.

The stamp is Lush Peonies from Pinkfresh Studio coloured with various marker pens

The sentiment is from an old Flourishes stamp set now retired cut out with a banner from Catherine Pooler

 

Thanks for popping in
