An Easter Card for Maisey

Hiya peeps,

Today I would love to show you a card that I made yesterday.  Unfortunately though, my laptop is playing up and wont let upload any photos from my laptop!! Im really annoyed as the card has turned out so girly and lovely.  I will, however, keep trying and add the photos as soon as I can. OK, its now Monday evening and Ive finally been able to upload the photos of Maisies card.

The card base I used is an extra large DL in the landscape setting when I added
the topper, coloured in using Harmony Alcoholic pens. This was foam pads stuck to the pink backing topper, which was glued to the actual card base. I made a small slit just slightly wider than the ivory organza ribbon so I could thread the ribbon through to secure on the inside back, the bottom of the card end of the ribbon was also secured on the inside back of the card. The spotty flower is from a new packet that I bought from The Works bargain shop. The faux pearl is from my own stash and is 20mm wide. The 2 ladybugs, button & charm, are also from my own stash.

PS:  My sincere apologies to The Cutting Cafe, as I havent given details of the image I have used for this card. Its called Wheelbarrow Deliveries Printing Set and even if you dont have a cutting machine, most if not all of their images are available as PDF's so you can cut them out by hand as I did. 

So check out the fabulous challenge of Quirky Crafts Challenges and see if you  could win fabulous sets from:

1st Prize:  3 sets from Cutting Cafe

Christmas Words - Joy....

Hiya peeps

This is a couple of days late so I do, sincerely apologise, for posting

this card., this often happens lately but Im sure its Blogger itself.

For this month's challenge for CraftyHazelnuts Christmas Challenge Extra

and as always, our theme is "Anything Goes as long as it's Christmas".

I used a blank scalloped edge card base from Craftwork Cards 

and is 6x6inch. The silver metallic cardstock (from my own stash)

was die cut and embossed using a Sue Wilson Designed

Creative Expressions die set called Noble, Classic Adorned Squares

(and there are 6 dies to this set).

I then coloured the digi image, that Bugaboo very kindly gave me

to work with, using Harmony alcoholic marker pens from 

Create & Craft tv. The glitter came from Sakura Gelly Roll Glitter pens.

It was an enjoyable digi to colour as the word says lol.

I added 2 types of ribbon, both from Crafty Ribbons, of a

gorgeous glittery red eyelash type "ribbon" and the white grosgrain 

with silver effect snowflakes.  I felt as though this card was now finished.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Pearl Pink Saddle Stitch Grosgrain ribbon on a card.....

Hiya peeps.

Im here today to show you a card that I made a couple of days ago, 

especially for Sunday, as its my turn to post on 

Crafty Ribbons Inspirational Blog
(Blogger is having a fit on me as this post was scheduled to post
on Sunday morning and I didnt realise until late last night
that this post hadnt gone live).
This card is an 8x8 inch white linen effect card base, topped
with a pre-coloured image from Crafty Sentiments Designs which
was actually free to download through the
purchase of Papercraft Inspirations Magazine issue 140. I matted this
with part of a sheet of beautiful glittered spotted thin card
from an 8x8 inch First Edition Love Letters premium paper pad.

The ribbon I used to show off this clean & simple card is a

beautiful Pearl Pink Saddle Stitch 10mm wide grosgrain ribbon 
from Crafty Ribbons and a seperate handmade bow glued on top 

of the pink strip. The faux gems are from my own stash.

Hope you all have a wonderful day

{{{Happy Crafting Hugs}}}

Hope the start of the weekend finds you all well?

Ive had a fairly good week which is good for me. Ive been off & on with 

the crafting but at least Ive got some cards made. Below you

will find a card that Ive made for one of my carer's, Lisa, 

who is leaving the company on Sunday so Saturday morning 

will be my last time having her calling to care for me. 

I have used a fabulous digi from

Digi Stamp Boutique called Spring Bently

and he was a joy to colour using my Harmony alcoholic marker pens

& one copic BG000 Pale Aqua (around the inside edges of the bear).

The spring green card stock used, for the base Decorative Grande Circles,

is from Papermill Direct with a mixture of cutting dies used,

mainly from Spellbinders.

Backing papers are an assortment from First Edition Paper pad called

Love Letters by Mindy Terasawa.

The beautiful 25mm light pink organza ribbon is from Mei Flower

The feathers, round pink dazzle & pins are from my own stash.

All in Pink.... by All Dressed Up

Hiya peeps

A quick post tonight to show you a card that I made today using a beautiful digi from All Dressed Up. She is called Happy Birthday and I coloured her using my fine tip pens from Stabilo & WHSmiths (they have different shades in more or less the same colourways).  The Dies thats I used to cut her out and the pink card shes stuck to using an oval decorative die from Des-ire by Crafters Companion. Im sorry that I cant remember the dies name. The fancy swirl die cut is from DieNamics.  The pink lace and pink/white gingham check are both from my own stash but the "Just for you" and "Happy Birthday" "With Love" sentiment ribbon is exclusively available from Crafty Ribbons. The large pearl drops are also from my own stash.
