teen card

Hello blogger peeps, can't believe where May has gone. No posts for nearly 3 weeks......oh dear standards have definitely crashed to the ground. Anyway the card I have today was made for a birthday at the beginning of May. The background was made with little individual stamps from Hero Arts. The flowers were cut using my fantastic Mother's day bouquet Cricut cartridge along with the number 14 and the birthday centrepiece was stamped using a Creative Expressions stamp set. Short and sweet, but hope to be back sooner rather than later..........

With Men in Mind......

Hello blogland people, I have something a bit different to show you today. It's a gift box that I made from the Slider Template which Creative Craft Cabin sell. It comes with full instructions on how to use it and basically you can use it as a slider on a card or make it into a stand alone box, or if you want your cake and eat it, mount the box on the card lol.



I used a background stamp from the Stamp Man for the grapevine and coloured it in using Promarkers and the glass and bottle is a stamp from Stamps Happen and again coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment inside the box is from Hobby Art.


I have titled this with men in mind as I think it would make a good Father's Day idea but of course most of us are partial to a drop of grape juice so would be suitable for anyone that likes a drink or three.....

Hello, hope you are all well. The card I have today is something for the fellas. My husband needed a card for a friend in his office and asked me to make something with cricket and rugby on it. After having a bit of a look in my crafty stash I found some suitable stamps. The background, rugby player and cricketer are all from the Stamp Man. They have been stamped with Memento ink and then coloured with Promarkers. I have also added some distress ink around the edges just to add interest. The rugby and football balls were just lurking in my cupboard and i have no idea where I got them from and the sentiment is from Hobby Art.


Thanks for looking and will be back soon............

Happy Anniversary

Afternoon all, I knew it wouldn't last very long with a post every day but I will do my best to post more often........
Anyway the card I have today was for a friend's 50th wedding anniversary. The stamps for this card are all from Chocolate Baroque. The frame was cut using a Sizzix oval and then embossed with a plaid Cuttlebug embossing folder. I then went over the embossing with gold rub on. The 50 was cut using the Cricut and finished off with organza ribbon.
