ornament punch...or is it!

Good morning crafters!
hope you are all enjoying the long bank holiday weekend despite the weather being a little wet!!

I needed something special for my aunities 70th birthday and she loves flowers and remember seeing something like this on the internet made with the ornament punch but as usual when looking for something you never find it!!

So made or attempted to make her a card with some orchids on?? what do you think??


Closer view...i think they look like orchids but then i would!
Input greatly appreciated please :0)


I finished the front of this 3 fold card with a little very vanilla ribbon and a four frame sentiment stamp and added some pearls.

I also added a 70 to the next layer of the card and added another flower to link it in just so she knows how old she is lol!!


Again added a few pearls to add the finishing touches...hope she likes it and has a fabulous 70th birthday and party!!


Thats it for now am off to stock up on crafty supplies before hopefully having a relaxing day crafting away :0)

take care

another cupcake!

Good morning crafters, Hope all well where you are today.

today my card is another cupcake, i cant seem to get enough of it :0) and a very quick and simple birthday card

I just love the way my ribbon ruffle turned out!!


Another quick and simple birthday card for a friends mum, as you can see im working my way through a 'pastel' phase at the moment and loving the way they look together.



I used the little flower stamp in from the fresh vintage SAB set and stamped in varioyus pastel shades and cut out then finished each one with a small gem and the effect is lovely. the below picture gives you a more detailed look, hope you like it as much as me

Finished off with a bow so looks like a bouquet of flowers and viola!

take care and happy crafting

good luck!

Good afternoon crafters

ive had a busy day already but am trying to get some crafting done this afternoon...fingers crossed!!

Friday was the end of an era at my works where the ownership of the practice transferred to one of our lovely dentists and the previous owners not only celebrated 50 years in practice but their retirement so this called for 'toothy' good luck cards all round.

we also lost our lady dentist as she was transferring to a practice in liverpool so made her one too!!

 I used so saffron DSP with very vanilla ribbon and white finished off with a little tooth which obviously very apt for the occassion.



 I used four frames and the matching punch to make the sentiment topper...simple but very much appreciated by the recipients :0)

And below i made the same card in 3 different colorways to go along with their very unique gifts!!

Thats it for today...off to washup after a lovely sunday roast before spending rest of day crafting

take care
