Not many made

No, not done a lot this week, in fact the 2 birthday cards were started last week and finished this week, both of them were for Crafts Beautiful birthday club members. The wedding one was an order off a friend.

The colours used on the wedding card are the same as the bridesmaids dresses, I was given the strap off the dress and managed to match it perfectly with some ribbon bought at Stampezee in Coventry, the card was already in my stash. Wedding bells were done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder from a set of 4 'Wedding', the other was done with a 7 x 5 folder 'Jamara'. 'Mr & Mrs' is from Inkadinkado 'Weddiing' acrylic stamp set 97892. Sticky gems from stash.

Lili of the Valley image 'Fairy on Tiptoe' coloured with copics, circles cut with nesties. Papers from Making Memories 6 x 6 pad 'Flower Patch' swirls made from EK Success 'Large Swirl Flourish'. Sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

This card is more or less the same as the one on a previous post, only difference is I didn't punch a border. The corners were made with a Cuttlebug Die that's one of a set of 4 and the bits that came out were stuck around the circle.

I'm off to bed as I've had toothache since yesterday, but I'm hoping I escape a visit to the dentist, as it hasn't been as painful as it was yesterday.

Been a week since my last update, every now and again I have to do housework!!!!

Went to Coventry last Thursday as Shane was off school due to the voting, so we took him to Ikea to pick the colour of the shelves he's having in his room....but before we went to Ikea we went to Stampezee, a friend had recommended that I go there. As usual I spent far too much money. I bought some clear stamps by Pink Gem Designs, which I have to admit I'd never heard of. These aren't on stampezee's website but can be bought directly from Pink Gem.

Penny Black 'A Touch' coloured with Promarkers. Image is on 'Pointy Frames' by Go Kreate. Backing paper 'Amethyst Infusion' from Papermania 6x6 pad. Ribbon from stash, and card punched with Floral Lace punch from Martha Stewart. The punched card is lilac but doesn't photograph very well.


Paper was a freebie from Crafts Beautiful magazine and is also available to download from their site. Image is 'Jack & teddy' from Pink Gem Designs, card candy and greeting from Craftwork Cards, I added the '5' to it. Scalloped circle done with a nestie. Image was coloured with Promarkers I didn't want to go too over the top with this, as it was for a 5 year old boy and I doubt very much if he'd be interested in what his card would look like, toys are far more important :)


Sugar Nellie 'Pen Pal' coloured with Promarkers, floral paper 'Flower Patch' Making Memories 6x6 pad, the spotty/plaid is double sided and from my stash. Flowers by HOTP, and card candy from Craftwork cards.


Image as before, watercoloured with Sakura Stardust pens. Basic Grey 6x6 pad, 'Praline' from the Bittersweet range, punched with Scalloped Lace/Threading Water from Fiskars. I went over the stamped greeting with black stardust pen. Tag was punched with a Sizzix thick cut die.



A very quick and easy card to do. Image from Butterfly Kisses 'Miss Ellie' coloured with Promarkers.
