Add buttons

I made this card for my mother-in-laws upcoming birthday...
She looks after our cats when we go away and I thought she would like this one...


The image is from  BUGABOO and is called "spring window"
I coloured it with my promarkers and used glossy accents on the ladybirds. 
I diecut the edge of  a smaller piece of card (with the image on)
with my newish spellbinder edge dies, and embossed
a simple line around the other 3 edges.
The backing paper full of flowers came form a very old HOTP kit
 I bought from QVC, yeeeeears ago!
(which I also embossed the edge of.)
A ribbon and a few pink buttons later, and I was finished!

Texting friends

I loved making this card!
This fabulous image is from Kenny K and
is called "texting friends"
I think my niece, who is to turn 12 soon, would love this! 


I recently won some stamps from the wonderful  Lawn Fawn
(which was a completely new find for me!)
and i picked the set with the little twitter sign and instagram logo, and 
'text talk' - hashtags, the birthday sentiment, lol, etc...
SO on-trend!

I tried to make the image appear like a polaroid picture, by just playing around
 in my fave program - publisher. 
Coloured with my promarkers.
And, I used a paper I have had forever... from an old DCWV set I think.

Christmas in August...

Well. I've made a christmas card!
Over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, the challenge is "stepper cards"...
I got the gorgeous image "curious gifts"
from A Day for Daisies.




I diecut a dovecrafts shape, before stamping it, for the sentiment.
I diecut the words joy and love, too.
The hanging heart and snowflakes border are all diecut - using memory box dies.
(frostyville border and precious hearts)
The image was coloured with promarkers and sits on 3d foam
 to raise it slightly from the card.
I think the backing paper is from DCWV - I've had it a looong time! 
Little bits of glitter and a couple of gems finished this card,
though they are quite hard to see in the picture.

Our card for the wedding


It just occurred to me...
I showed you some other cards I made for the happy couple, 
that were going to be given by other people...
but I hadn't shown you  our  card!...



I tried to make ours another different one. 
The birdcage shape is from Craftwork cards.
I printed the wards and carefully diecut a tag around the wording.
I added some precious hearts (which I used on the wedding invites for them)
and Martha Stewart punched butterflies.
Ribbon secured the tag to the card and a couple of docrafts flowers with pearl, and
Marianne swirly leaf diecuts finished this card...

Fairy


"Add flowers" is the challenge over at Glitter n Sparkle this week...
I got the lovely image "Analise" from Spellbinding stamps.

coloured her with my promarkers,

A few MS punched butterflies

A Latte love...

Hi again!
I have so many cards to share with you at the min... 
So here is another.

My entry this month at Patties Creations.
It's "anything goes" month, and I chose "LATTE LOVE" 
to make a card for my coffee loving friends, who had an anniversary coming up. 


I used some papers that I got in a pack from Canada last year...
so they all coordinated and worked together, with no effort on my part :)
"Latte love" was beautifully easy to colour with my promarkers, and to cut out. 
I have put it on 3d foam, to give some dimension.
A couple of MS punched butterflies, 
and a dymo-label sentiment finished this card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges....

Oh my!

What a cutie!
I got the image "Oh my!" from Crafty Sentiments,
for this weeks challenge at Glitter n Sparkle...
everyone's favourite, 'anything goes!'


She's a darling image to colour and fussy cut around.
I drew a little log to sit her on and coloured all with my promarkers.
(I paper-pieced her dress)
The papers are double sided loveliness... 
a 6 x 6 paper pack that I bought in Canada, at Hobby Lobby, a year ago.
I decided to bite the bullet and start using them...the colours are just lovely.I embossed some lines on each piece, as an edge, diecut a small scrap with a lacy die , inked the edges of 
everything and snipped a few little penants to make bunting for the corner. 
I will add a sentiment when I have decided who to send this to.
