80th Birthday

I thought I better get another post on before the weekend as I've got a 2 day demo coming up. I'll be demoing the Pazzles Inspiration cutter. I'm a bit nervous as I've not had it long to play with,but at least the software was familiar as I bought the Funtime software to use with my Craft Robo.

Anyway this is another 8x8 card that I made for an 80th birthday. The image is Pearls and Plumes by Hampton Art Stamps. I coloured her with my Prismacolours. The PP is from the Vita Bella range from My Little Yellow Bicycle.The blue lace was in a bag of lace I won in a blog candy giveaway by Beautifullily. The flowers are Flora Doodles with an antique metal and blue gem brad also from the Vita Bella range.I also added some pearls hanging behind the flower. The Happy Birthday is from a HOTP set and I stamped it onto a tag again from the Vita Bella range,as is the foiled photo corner.The 80 is chipboard numbers from a Brenda Pinnick kit.

Thanks for looking

Forgive Me.......

for I have sinned!

I've cut up my gorgeous Daisybuckets papers. Not just once......but 3 times! Oh what will I do.It's a terrible crime......lol

Anyway,I had these 3 cards to make for this week but couldn't post them earlier as they might have been seen.
The first was for a lovely lady on Docrafts called Hazel whose birthday it was.I used Daisybuckets Sweet Marabella Bianca papers.Partygirlabella Stamp coloured with Prismacolor pencils.Some flowers with sugar coated Papermania brads in the centre,Papermania gems and some ribbon.

The second card was for Louis nursery teacher whose birthday it was.Again I've used Daisybuckets Whimsical Ladies Royal Court papers and also Partygirlabella coloured with my Prismas. Stamped sentiment from Studio G. Some purple ribbon,Papermania gems and a Flora doodle flower with Papermania brad in the centre.

Finally the last card is for Father's Day. Again it's Daisybuckets Under The Boardwalk On The Clock papers. The teddy bear was made from Sculpey clay in a mould and decorated with chalks.The nose and eyes are coloured with a black Sakura glaze pen. He's mounted onto cream card cut with my Nestabilities and then onto my lovely new Core'dination cardstock also cut with my scallop nestabilities.This card has a contrasting coloured core and is great for distressing as the inner core colour shows through.I've used my Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder on a strip of the Core'dinations card and rubbed it with sandpaper,I also used the same technique on the Dad letter which were cut from a Sizzix Alphabet. The brads in the corners were from a previous Costco scrapbook kit and the little gem hearts are Papermania. This is Louis card for his daddy.

Happy Father's Day to all fathers today whether here or who are in our thoughts.

Gardenia Greenthumb

I finally got round to making this card using the Gardenia Greenthumb Fairy from the Chichiboulie range at Stamping Bella.
The PP is DCWV Pocketful Of Posies matted onto green Papermania Cardstock.I've used my Crop-A-Dile Big Bite to set the green eyelets.Threaded through some orange grograin ribbon and tied a piece of spotty green grograin through the knot.Also stuck a Fancy Pants pin through the knot which has a little green flower at the end. Stamped the sentiment using a Studio G stamp.coloured Gardenia in with my Prismacolor pencils and decoupaged her wings with vellum with Sakura Stardust applied.Used my punch to punch the corners and matted it onto orange card.I then punched the green card using my DoCrafts multishaper punch,and matted the image onto it.I've used 3d foam pads to attach it.The flowers are Flora Doodles with buttons in the middle.

A Couple Of Card Commissions

The lovely man I bought my Prismacolors from loved my little Eloise Greengrass card and asked me if I would make two for his little grand daughters as they love fairies. The only stipulation was would I put their names on them and do one blonde and one brunette to match their hair colours.
How could I refuse making cards with this lovely little fairy stamp.

Again it's the Eloise Greengrass stamp from Stamping Bella.
The first card is coloured with Prismas and mounted onto green Bazzill Bling. PP is Glitter Ribbons. Name cut with Cuttlebug Olivia Alphabet from green bling and mounted onto green card with Swiss Dots embossing. Threaded yellow organza ribbon through two eyelets. Flora Doodle flowers with Papermania gem brad in centre.




The second is similar only in a different colour scheme. Again coloured with Prismas and mounted onto purple Bazzill bling.PP is DCWV Pocketful Of Posies. The name and ribbon are all done in the same way as first card.Again I used Flora Doodles but with a pearl brad from The Paper company in the middle.


If anyone is looking for Prismas at a great price.Please let me know and I'll recommend you to Tony.

My First 8x8 Card

I thought I'd have a go at making an 8x8 card.I saw the instructions on someone's blog but can't remember where now.If anyone knows please let me know and I'll link to it.
I used pink cardstock to make the basic card.The PP is Papermania double sided card. the butterfly image is a Penny Black one which I mounted onto pink card and scalloped plum coloured Bazzill.The pink and plum border I got bought in Hobbycraft. Flower is a Flora Doodle from Joanna Sheen, with a Papermania pearl brad in the middle and some white pearls behind it. The sentiment was written on my Robo and mounted onto pink card and plum Bazzil. I just need to add some glittery bits and it'll be finished. It's for my MIL's birthday. I just have the small problem of not having an envelope big enough for it! I've bought some A3 paper so will have a go at making one.
