Pretty In Pink.

Hi. I'm back today to share a couple of recently made cards. 

The first card was for one of the mini challenges over at Cotswold Crafter to use butterflies on our creations. I cut the butterfly on card coloured with distress ink. It was layered within a couple of circle frames and added to my background. The background is cut with dies from the Distressed Addington Collage set from Memory Box. A stamped sentiment finishes it off.

My second card was for a friend who has just recently become a Great Grandma for the second time. I didn't really have anything specific for a baby girl, so decided on the sweet LOTV image. I layered it onto one of the Spellbinders Marvellous Squares dies and added punched flowers to the corners. The sentiment is from JustRite stamps.

I hope you like them. Thanks for stopping by :-)

Masculine Cards - Art Pad Images.

Hi. I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine today. A little hot for me so I thought I'd take the chance to share a couple of cards. I have a few cards which I have been meaning to blog for a while, so todays share is a couple of masculine cards. One of them was for Fathers Day back in June - so that shows how long I've been meaning to show them!

Both are pretty basic with matting and layering using cardstock and patterned papers. The images are from the LOTV art pads (now discontinued) and the sentiments also from LOTV. The die cut sentiment on the second card is from Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping by.

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 :-)

Sketch Challenge.

Hi. Sharing a couple of cards today based on one of Sandra's sketch challenges over at Cotswold Crafter. The first card shown is the one I submitted, but after I'd made it I thought that I should have changed the middle horizontal border colours around to make it stand out more! So, I made the second card the following day, and I much prefer it!

I have used Spellbinders dies - The Mary Border Strip and Die D-Lites Medallion 1 for the centre.

The Sentiment is Sue Wilson's Perspectives - Triple Best Wishes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Anniversary.

Hi. I'd like to share the card I made for my Brother and Sister-in-laws Anniversary, which is today. I hope they have received it in the post!

Both squares are cut from Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares. I cut four of the smallest die from the New York Collection - Times Square and added these for a pretty background behind the complete Maggie die. The sentiment is from LOTV.

I hope they like it :-)

Own Your Dreams.

Hi. I'd been looking on Pinterest and kept coming across Prima Dolls by Julie Nutting, featured on some beautiful creations. Of course, I just had to order a couple of these lovely 'doll' stamps. Waiting for my order to arrive, I went through my stash and found some plain die cut ladies which I had purchased in the past and decided to see what I could come up with.

I used some pretty papers for my background, which are from Prima Marketing. The glittered black dress came with the die cuts, but I cut a hat out of pink paper and added the small flower. The large flower is from Crafter's Companion, Floral Delight Collection - Pretty Petals. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz - Small Talk pad.

I haven't had a chance to play with my new stamps yet, but am hoping to do so in the next couple of days :-)

Thanks for stopping by.

'Thanks' So Very Much.

Hi. Sorry its been nearly a couple of weeks since my last post. I am so happy with the huge response that my card for Set Craft received. I had loads of lovely comments on here and Set's Facebook page, and well over 1000 views on here too! I am ecstatic, and can't thank you enough :-) 

So here is a little Thank You card which I made. It was for one of Sandra's sketch challenges over at Cotswold Crafter. We had to use a die for our card base. I chose Sue Wilson's Auckland die from the New Zealand Collection and just layered it up. Two Delicate Daisies finish it off.

This card goes out to all of you, with my heartfelt thanks. I hope you like it :-)
