Thanks.

Hi

I thought I’d share a couple of Thank you cards I recently made. They were pretty quick and easy to make using some of my stash - some pretty papers and a few elements.

The first card is made with Anna Marie ‘Garden Blooms’ papers. I’ve used the Swirl Border die by Joy! Crafts, adding 3 tiny hearts along the edge. The ‘Thanks’ die is from Crafters Companion, along with the stamped sentiment which came as a set.

The second card is made with Anna Marie ‘Blissful Cocoa’ papers, and a Kraft card mat. I die cut the Memory Box ‘Catalina Wreath’ die out of Kraft card and added the ‘Thanks’ die on top.

I hope everyone is keeping well and coping in these uncertain times. Stay safe.

Quick Cards.

Hi. Thought I'd share a couple of cards I made the other day. These were quick and easy and are great additions to my stash of ready made cards. I have been really busy with lots of crafting, but unfortunately am not finding the time to blog much at the moment. Hopefully in the next few days I'll have time to share some more of my creations with you.

I have used Memory Box dies, adding colour with ink pads and embossing enamel. The die cuts are added to a stamped panel in the same colours. The sentiment is from LOTV.

Thanks for stopping by. I promise I'll be back again soon :-)

Stamping Challenge.

Hi. Just a quick post today to show the cards I made for Sandra's mini challenge over at Cotswold Crafter. We were challenged to just use stamps alone. I chose some of my Inkylicious stamps and had great fun playing. My backgrounds were inked with Distress Ink pads, and although Sandra had challenged us to not use any dies, I couldn't resist making just one by framing my image with the Grace die from Sue Wilson!

 Hope you like them :-) Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Just For You.

Hi. I'm back today to share a card I made with a couple of new dies. One can never have too many die sets - the only problem being not enough hours in the day to play!! 

The focal element of my card is the Just For You die, from Phill Martin's From The Heart Collection. Along with the sentiment in this set are four different sized small hearts and one heart outline. I love this outline, and as you can see I have used it on my card to give depth to the hearts already cut within the sentiment. I have mounted the sentiment onto the Grace die from Sue Wilson's Frames and Tags Collection. This has been mounted using the Double Pierced Squares from Sue's Noble Collection to make the frames. 

I am really pleased with the way it turned out, and I hope you like it too :-)

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Mother's Day

Hi. Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely Mums out there :-)

I am sharing the two cards I made for my lovely Mum and Mother-In-Law. I didn't want anything too fussy, as I have had a lot of cards to make recently, so decided to go clean and simple!
A special mention goes to Sandra at Cotswold Crafter, as I based my cards on the sketch which she set as last Monday's challenge :-)

I have used Crafter's Companion, Floral Delight - Scalloped Border, and Sue Wilson's Delicate Daisies - Open Petals dies. I am loving these new purchases from Make It at Farnborough last weekend, I just know they are going to be featured on a lot of my cards in the future.

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by.
