21st Birthday Card for my Niece

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  I have had a fab week away in Gran Canaria, enjoyed some nice hot sun and lovely sangria!

I have been to the Cake International Show today at Excel with my two Daughters.  We decided to get the HS1 from Ebbsfleet to Stratford International and then the DLR from there.  I can't believe how quick it was for us. I will definitely use the HS1 again, although it was a bit expensive, it was worth the time we saved in travelling though.

I have a card to show you that I made for my Niece just before I went away, she was 21 last Monday.





Items used:

Saturated Canary image coloured with Copics.
The frame is from Birds Cards cut on my cricut.
Number is cut on my cricut.
Also the nested shape I have used for the image was cut on my cricut and decorated with gems
Sentiment created on my computer.
I have also added glitter to the skirt.

Thanks for looking.

Christine's Digi Showcase Week 33

Good Morning

On the card I have made for this week's showcase I have used Christine's "Flower Corner" digi.    I have flipped it over using Serif and joined the leaves to make a frame. I have made two very similar cards but not quite the same.  Both have been paper pieced. On one I have used liquid pearls in the middle of the flowers on the other I have used gems.  I have also used different embossing folders.

Don't forget to pop over the Christine's Blog to see what the rest of the Team have created.




The red I used for these cards is paper which I bought from the Papermill ages ago.
The sentiment is a digi from Sentiments 4 You
Embossing Folders:  Tied together and  Sizzix Argyle Diamonds

Thanks for looking.

Christine's Digi Showcase Week 31


Good Morning, I hope you have all been enjoying a bit of sun the last couple of days, it has been lovely here in Kent.  

I had a bit of a panic on Friday evening, I was getting my bits ready to take to a craft day on Saturday and my  Big Shot broke. I went straight to CEC and ordered a new one which arrived yesterday.  My Hubby was off work decorating last week and was going to the tip, so he took my broken BS with him.  Had I thought about it properly, I could have looked into getting it fixed or keeping it for spare parts. Never mind it's gone now!

This week we are showcasing Christine's "For Mum" image.  Don't forget to pop over to Christine's Blog to see what the rest of the Team have been up to.

50th Birthday

Good Evening everyone, it's been a while since I have posted on here.  I have been so busy but as it's half term, I thought I would try to catch up a bit.

This is a card that I made for a crafty friend who recently celebrated her 50th Birthday.  The frame was an SVG file I downloaded from Birds Cards and cut out on my cricut.  I cut the frame in  mirri card, but it  hasn't photographed very well.


I have used Stampin Up coloured card and some gems to finish it off.

Thanks for looking, I hope to keep my blog updated this week, so please pop back from time to time if you can.

Hello...

I hope you are all keeping warm indoors. I am sure most of you have got snow by now.  We had snow on Friday and closed our school a little early, also my daughter came out a little early too as her school shut.  It started to melt a bit yesterday but it has been snowing all day since 8.30 a.m.  and it's still snowing.

As the Bristol Palyday was cancelled due to the weather, some of the girls had a virtual craft day which I joined in and made 4 cards.

This is one of them:



I used Stamping Up coloured card
Pink Petticoat papers
Image is from Di's Digis coloured with Copics and background distressed with distress inks
Fishtail cut using a straight bit of card and square nestie to cut the fish tail then embossed
Sentiment created on computer and cut out with Stampin Up punch
Nailheads stuck with Kandi Kane Wand

Hope you like it.

25th Wedding Anniversary Card

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you are all well and recovered from any hangovers!  I went back to work today, which was very hard, especially as I haven't been in since 14th December.

Today I thought I would show you a card I made for my Hubby for our 25th Wedding Anniversary in November.  I decided to take the photo twice, once on a white background and once on a red background. I think it looks better on the white , what do you think?




The Easel template is from Cardmaking Paradise, see link in my sidebar.

I cut the hearts on my Cricut and backed them with Cheery Lynn French Lattice Small die.
