Mothers Day......

Good afternoon all, My card for today is for mothers day....  I actually made a mistake as I put a comma instead of an apostrophe!! lol but only noticed it after I assembled it was more worried about the die cutting and embossing.... isnt it always the way

I have used a red and white theme, I love this as it is striking together so a perfect match.  

I embossed the bottom half of the card with couture creations 'tied together' embossing folder, I then decided to add lots of pearls I think this looks lovely when the pearls are on it in the relevant places..

I have of course used a signature ribbon red organza, it has a lovely sheen to it which is hard to capture in the photo..  I printed out the sentiment onto my card then diecut it using spellbinders fleur de lys squares, i then added another of the classic squares to make the frame.

Embellishments used are a ribbon slider which I incorporated in a double bow, the flowers are from wild orchid crafts and thought it needed a further little dash of colour so added a small feather in the corner of the sentiment.

Hope you like it

I would love to hear you

Something a little different

Good afternoon all, fancied doing something different.

I found a beautiful image from saturated canary! I think everything she does is superb and perfect for the in between ages.

I have used the lovely papers from my minds eye lost and found, a beautiful diecur from memory box and the flowers, lace and charm are from my stash.

The gorgeous I image is called 'boobie love' by satuated canary and has been coloured with copics.

Hope you like it!

Would be great to hear your comments

Loads of hugs

This Years Christmas Cards

This maybe a larger than normal post, as I am  going to link this years christmas cards in one go.....

I have used lots of spellbinders dies, fancy lattice, labels 28. frosty forms, create a flake 3 and beautiful hunkydory mirror speciality mirror card.  I didnt add any ribbon :) but felt that it just looked too much for the type of style I wanted.  I frosted the flowers and added some frosty stems for decoration, the holly sprig is from a memory box die.

I have made more than one of each just for time really as I spend too much time concentrating on one...

Christmas shopping as took over I'm afraid am all in a tizzy, making sure I have all the right gifts it just seems to consume too much time.  I am hoping to have more time after the festivities to do my own thing and finally get the use out of my copics.

anyway heres the pics below, I have added in some arty shots so you can see the depth

Thanks for looking and hope all you peeps are ready for Christmas!!

I would love to hear from you.

Requested Wedding Card

Good Afternoon!

I have a requested wedding card for you today

I have used  beautiful ice white pearl card, and cut the new spellbinders botanical swirls followed by a frame from spellbinders labels 28 to encase and surround the lovely pattern.

I decided to write the names of the couple on one of the fancy tags which i have the placed in an arch shape over the frame.

Flowers and of course my signature bow finished with a few diamontes and a lovely tissue lined box to showcase it in!

et voila!!

Hope you like it

16th Birthday Card

Good Afternoon Fellow bloggers.

This is my first post of the week, the weeks are flying by and there are just not enough hours in the day!

I have a Requested 16th Birthday Card today, I tried to keep this quite simple as again making a card for a teenager is a nightmare but thankfully at least it was for a female!!!

I have used lovely ice white pearl card which I have mounted onto silver and black card, the topper was made by myself, I printed the leopard print pattern onto the same card and then made a lid which was sprayed and glittered of course!

The letters were cut on my cricut again sprayed and glittered! and the tag was spellbinders labels 28 I think!

Finished with a lovely Black Feathers,  wide ribbon and a heart diamonte ribbon slider!!!   and NO Bow, yes probably the first card I have ever made without one lol.

Hope you like it!

It would be great to hear from  you!

OMG New Pen Storage

2 posts in 1 day,  this is a first for me.

I haven't got a card but would like to tell you how excited I am about my new pen storage.

These are from crafters companion and are the ULTIMATE pen  storage.

The fact it is modular is fab for me as I have a loft space and with the eaves sloping it is difficult to get anything to fit.  I have put my copics in which is my well loved collection of Copic Ciao and Copic sketch markers.  I have bought a few sets of the Spectrum Noir and also a few promarkers, so will need another 2 lots of 6 I think then this will be complete!

Many times I have had to root around for the right pen combination well no more, I just had to share as this was only delivered an hour ago and I have already assembled mine (they are staggered) and put my pens in.

below is a quick pic of the storage on my desk

let me know what you think of them. you can leave a message in my new gadget on the right, I would love to hear from you.

well thats my last post of the week, will be back soon

(I promise)
