Birthday cards...

Recently 2 of my favourite people had their birthdays 1 day apart! My best friend Sharon, who celebrated her 40th Birthday and who i met through crafting and is just the best mate you could ask for, i made this for her birthday, had a bit of a major grunge off with it! but loved the finished effect!

 My next favorite person is my eldest son, and as i usually do girlie cards and stuff i had to think of something that was more 'manly' so using Stampin' Up! 'Loads of Love' 

stamp set and accessories,  

Which is available at a special price at the moment with Stampin'Up!

for details please email me and you can also order the set for £15.16 instead of the usual £18.95!

Was quite pleased that i can actually do male cards for a change... not a sight of any flowers in sight anywhere! and the only pink is on the parcels in the truck, so think i got away with it!

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon

Take care

What have i been up to????

Hi, sorry not been about! been sooooooooo busy. Have been doing lots of designing for future CD's for Crafters Companion and that takes up lots of time..... but i do get such a buzz out of doing it, especially seeing what people have created with something that i have designed, to think they chose that design coz they like it.... makes all my hard work worthwhile to know the enjoyment people get out of it! im not the only designer mind.... so dont start thinking i do all the work! there are other's who work their socks off too, so im not taking all the credit here! LOL

Haven't really had chance to make alot of cards recently mind... although i have done some... which i have managed to get posted on here at last, while i take a breather!

Will hopefully pull my finger out and post more often coz im slackin i know, but will try my best to keep up with things!

Take care

This was made using the new Boys & Girls CD from Crafters Companion, with the 'woof' stamp over the background and matching dog, backing paper etc....

... and this is the inside! it is actually a pop out card, but you cant really see that from the picture, but believe me it is a pop out!

I made this for my mum for Mother's day, and yeah i know that was a while ago, but as i said, i havent posted for while! ooops! she loved it by way!

Made this for Mum's birthday, from the new Cute Companions CD, she loved this too, coz of the mice! the fact that you can print their outfits and stick on them on.... like the papers dolls you used to get

Everyday CD

Using the Everyday CD...................

Bookatrix card using the papers that i designed, i love the colours and the flowers on this..... so quite pleased with myself with this paper!

I hadnt done any stamping for a while, so just decided to make this one with just stamping and embossing..... quite pleased with the result!

Here is a card i made for my sister-in-laws 40th birthday. I used the bookatrix board and papers from the Crafters Companion Florals CD.

Here is my very 1st attempt at a toe tapper card, i embossed it with one of the keepsake boards and then sanded the embossed bits to make it slightly aged and distressed, because the paper was an aged looking paper. Was quite pleased with result.

This card i made for my uncle's 80th birthday, i designed all of it, including the papers! the topper too, he was so chuffed with the finished result.

This card i made for my dad, he's a builder, so played about with inks and stamps with some peel offs etc and came up with this!

Hubby bought me a cuttlebug for my birthday, and ever since i have been using it for all sorts! they are fab! love the designs that you get with the machine. This was my 1st card made with it.

This was also using my cuttlebug, and is what is called a happy accident! i wanted to just emboss the gold lines, but when i put my versamark on the embossed image, it embossed the whole background too! bearing in mind the card was cream, the whole background turned gold, so was actually quite pleased with my 'accident'
