So Many Birthdays

 

 

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays!  I don’t know about you, but I seem to have lots around this time of year; Family, friends, my children’s friends too.  I always need a card or 6 on hand for such an occasion.

I put this pretty card together using Everything Eleanor from Stampin’ Up!  I do love the large background swirl; it makes for a great background.  The colours I used were Pool Party and Calypso Coral inks and cardstock.  I hand cut the flowers and banner, which was stamped with the Happy Birthday phrase from Create a Cupcake.  The gorgeous little butterfly was stamped using Papillion Potpourri and then punched out using the matching punches. 

So all I have to do now is pick out who it is going to go to.  If you would like to get to make cards like these then come along to my cards and coffee morning please do get it touch.  It runs every other Wednesday during term time.

Back soon, Happy crafting

Yummy Honeycomb.

 

Well i do think it rather yummy.  Sorry if you were thinking it was gong to be a Crunchie bar.  Mmm Crunchie!  Sorry I digress.

So the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder, isn’t it great?  Have you got yours yet?

I ran some Tea for Two Designer series paper through the folder and trimmed up some of the inner hexagons to glue onto the So Saffron Hexagon base.

I stamped my greeting onto another piece of the Tea for Two DSP, and trimmed it into a banner.  The flower is made using a doily that has been scrunched together and then a large Designer Builder Brad pushed through.  I glues a Vanilla Flower from the Flower Trim to the front.

And there you have it, a yummy honeycomb card.  I hope you liked it.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Thank you, can mean so much.

 

Isn’t it wonderful when someone helps you out, does something out of the blue to cheer you up or perhaps just looks after your children without being asked when you’re not well.

It’s those times when a simple thank you just doesn’t seem enough.  So nothing says thank you more than a handmade card.

I love the colours on this card.  The base is Early Espresso (I think I love this colour), the mat is So Saffron which has been textured with the Fancy Fan Textured Embossing Folder.  This has all been accented with Regal Rose. It’s such a gorgeous old fashioned colour and yet also looks great in Modern Simple Cards.

I used my marker pens in Regal Rose, So Saffron and Lucky Limeade to colour in the flower from the Oh, Hello stamp set.  And stamped my greeting from the same set onto Whisper White, which I then cut out using the Apothecary Accents Framelit die.  I cut a second one in Regal Rose cut off either end then split it in 2 to make the outer edge frame.

A Paper Doily, some Victoria Crochet Trim and Basic Pearls just finished it off nicely.

So next time someone does something nice for you, send a handmade thank you.

Until next time.

Shoe Box Swap Part 2

 

As per part 1 This is a little photo heavy again, so my apologies.

So first up we have this fabulous card from Leanne.  I love all of the different layers and pieces to this card.  The use of the Honeycomb Textured Impressions folder with the little hexagons in looks great. And don’t you just love the little dotty spotty butterfly?  I used one of our Stampin’ Up! white gel pens to do the dots. 

I just love this stunning Collage stamped card created by my good friend Rachel.  Look at all those different stamped layers, then by adding the ticket, rose and ribbon the whole thing just pops to life! 

Even the Envelope gets a stamping!

I love this next card by Lucy.  The little bees from Nature Walk work so well with the new Honeycomb Textured Impressions folder.  These were stamped and then gently watercoloured.  I love the greeting from Wacky Wishes Hostess set.

Wow, paper tearing and sponging on this next one by Sasha!  I just love the Early Espresso edged on to the Island Indigo cardstock.  The frame from Papaya Collage works so well on the First Edition Speciality Paper.

And finally here is my project.  I wanted to give everyone a little something that they could pop all their cards into to take home.  i love this little card holder and it is so easy to make!  I used he Tea for Two Designer Series Papers and made kits to compliment the papers.

I used the greeting from the Oh, hello stamp set, sponged the edges and added the utterly gorgeous flower from the flower trim which can be found in the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

First up is this very simple card using the images from the Tea Shoppe stamp set.  I used some of the left over Designer Series Papers to make the strip and circle.  I really love that stamp set!

Well, we’ve seen tons of these banner cards but they are so fab, so here’s another! Again I used up some of my left over DSP to make them.  the greeting is from petite pairs which is then punched using the largest Oval punch.  A little sponging around the edges and a couple of our larger pearls from the mixed set of basic Pearls and there you have it.

We all had a ton of fun on the day, there was lots of chatting, and laughing.  Plenty ooh’s and ah’s and some great crafting creativity!  I cannot wait for the next one.

Until next time, Happy Crafting.

 

Bloomin’ Marvellous!

 

And what a Bloomin’ Marvellous card this is.  I love the de-bossed Petals a Plenty background.

The butterflies have been stamped in Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, and Rich Razzleberry. And layered on an opposite coloured circle. Basic Rhinestones create the body of one of the butterflies.

I added a faux stitching on the Island Indigo cardstock using the White Gel pen.

I hope you like it.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

Cards and Coffee Morning projects.

 

As you know I have been running some regular Cards and coffee mornings.  These are lovely informal classes and are designed for all abilities.  If you live near Wokingham, Berkshire then why not pop along to one.  Drop me an email for a list of dates.

As we are still in Saleabration the first card was made using the Feeling Sentimental stamp set and  First Edition Speciality Papers. Early Espresso cardstock was used for the base and matting.  I used Naturals White cardstock for the base mat and to stamp the phone box onto. 

The phone box was then water coloured using Real red ink.

This next card was inspired by the Easel card that I got to make at our recent Show box swap.  With this one I wanted to go a little more masculine and used the totally gorgeous Fan Fair Designer Series Papers to dictate the colour combination and give an air of masculinity. The tree is from the ever so popular Lovely As A Tree set.

The Natural trim Ribbon looks like hessian and really added to this card.

See how when you open the card you can then see the greeting inside and use it to hold open the easel too.

And last but not least is this cheerful birthday card.  I love the white stamping of the flowers from Mixed Bunch.  The greeting is from Curly cute and that main flower has been stamped in Craft Whisper White ink.  The centre is stamped in Raspberry Ripple as is the greeting. A couple of Basic Rhinestones

I hope you like the cards we made.  Don’t forget to get in touch if you would like to come to future classes or if you would like to order any of the products used here.

Until next time, happy crafting.
