The sun will shine again!

Hello,

I hope you’re all keeping well in both mind and spirt in these very difficult times? Again I am happy to say my family and I are all well.

Today I’d like to share a card I have made to send to the lovely team who are looking after my mum in her care home in sunny Llandudno. They are doing a wonderful job looking after all the residents who have been on total lockdown for weeks now which means me and my two sisters are unable to visit with her.

I just wanted to show we care for them and all they are doing. Keep Safe everyone and I hope you get some family time this Easter.

Here is the card

I made a 5x8 card blank and used both sides of a sheet of paper Pion Design paper from swedishhousecrafts  distressing the edges first. The stamp to make the sentiment is by colourific.co.uk and is called sun-will-rise-clear-stamp-set.

I have teamed it with flowers I have made using foamiran using LadyE dies. A couple of gems on top and bottom corners of the top layer have completed the card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like what you see a may like to leave a word or two. Take care and catch up with you soon.

Vintage Christmas card

Hello and I hope this finds you all well.

I have been keeping myself busy in the craft room of late trying to improve my flower making skills using foamiran.


Today I have a card to share with you on which I have placed 2 of my poinsettia flowers I made yesterday. I have used white and baby pink, on both I have added touches of pink ink to the edges and pearl stamens in the centre.

The papers are from Bobunny and I have added silver glitter leaves and flourishes along with cheesecloth and extra glitter around the frame. The pink snowflakes and the sentiment are from a Justrite stamp set embossed using white powder. Plenty lift on the card using foam behind.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you like what you see and if so leave a word or two. Take care in these uncertain times and keep your distance by  staying home.

Easter Wishes

Hello,

I hope you're all keeping well in these very difficult times. Myself and family are all well at this moment thank goodness and long may it last.

It seems I can't keep out of my craft room in the afternoon which I must say I have no complaints about!!  So here are my makes to share with you today.

I have used papers from my stash on these two shaped cards which I have made for my cousins in the USA I should have hand delivered these but my trip was postponed!

The sentiment is a Verve stamp and to it I've added paper flowers, lace, twine and little egg cut with stackable dies. I've also added a cute bunny to each card too.

Repeat Stamping

Hi, today I’d like to share a quick card inspired by Lulucardmaking.Repeat-stamping-technique
I have used stamps by Julie Hickey on this first card. I’ve lifted the coloured ones on foam pads after colouring with my Promarkers

Here’s another try with stamps by Verve.

I’ve kept this one flat but also happy to have finally got out of its box my Press To Impress which was a Christmas gift. 

Pop over to see what Lou shared and have ago yourself

Just For You.

Hello,

Today I'd like to share a card I have made following a sketch I've picked up from the Lemoncraft Blog. Unfortunately at this time I have none of their papers so I can't join in the challenge but I'd like to share with you all.

I have used papers from the gorgeous Dream garden collection from Scrapboys which I picked up at Merly Impressions along with a touch of Kaisercraft paper too. The doily is one from my stash which I cut down so as not to hang over the edges too much.

I made the flowers using Foamiran and dies by ladyedesign The leaf die is by Spellbinders.

I have stitched around the edge of the first layer and distressed the edges. The strip is the other side of the paper which I first added to a touch of self coloured paper and added foam to the underside for lift. Before I added the doily I placed foam under the right side to level it out. I painted a small wooden frame pink and added that centrally then I went about adding leaves and flowers to follow the sketch. I have added touches of white paint about the layout (first time I've tried this and a bit scary!) along with extra pearls.

Here is a closer look at the sketch, they put out 4 different ones 2 of which could be layouts.

Thanks for stopping by today, maybe you could leave a word or two as it's always nice to know who has called by.

I'll be sharing this card at the following challenge sites.

Happy Holidays!

Hi,

Here I am today sharing a card I have made to join in with a challenge over at Magnolia Forever Challenge over on Facebook.
The challenge is to use Kraft on your card/project and as you can see I have made the base of my card and it's layer from it. Teaming it up with a paper kit from my stash.

I have used the adorable Tilda stamp where she is dressed to keep warm. I have coloured her in using my Promarker pens and fussy cut her out laying her on a oval of peach coloured card. As you can see I have used lace and a bold fabric flower along with leaves cut from matching cardstock. I added 2 wooden snowflakes which I had embossed with blue/white powder

The shape of the card is a new die of mine which I picked up recently, I think I'll be getting it out again soon as I love it.

I will be sharing at these other lovely challenge sites too....

Happy Easter

Hello,

Well as we are all being asked to take up Social Distancing this means there maybe more time to create! So I'd like to share with you a card I have made to send this Easter.

 I have chosen to use these pretty papers which all work so well together along with a little lace and pearls to finish off.

The little bunny I picked up from Hobbycraft and only £1 for about 8! I bought these egg dies just before Christmas aren't they cute.
The flowers I have made using Foamiran in 2 colours of yellow and a touch of lime green for a hint of a leaf. The lace die behind is from polkadoodles.co.uk

I hope you like what you see and maybe you'd like to leave a word or two as its always nice to see who has stopped by.

I'm sharing this card in the following challenges
