Summer flowers

Hi crafters

Todays offering is to make me feel summerery as despite being in the middle of June the weather is absolutly awful!! At the moment its stopped raining but the sky looks very black so my washing is certainly not going on the line!!

I thought id cheer myself up with some crafting...any excuse :0) and have been playing with the cupcake stamp set and punch again, sooo versatile and i just love it!!



Pool party is my sky and oh how i wish i was under sky that colour now and added a few little clouds made from the top of the cupcake punch :)


My little tubs of flowers...which look absolutly nothing like mine!! stamped in soft suede with the flowers in pool party and calypso coral...very sunshiny!!


i 3d'd...if thats a word but you know what i mean, the tubs and flowers and you can see this is this shot.

thats it for today back to crafting for me :0)

take care

Yellow Bdays

Good evening all
late post from me as very busy and stressful day :(

I just had to play with my new Attic Boutique papers that arrived the other day along with 3 others DSP packs currently on offer - Buy 3 get one FREE!!
Too good to miss if you ask me :0)

Anyway I needed two birthday cards very quickly and these 2 took me 10 mins tops to whip up and i love em!!



I covered front of card in a gorgeous yellow paper fromt the Attic Boutique DSP and simply mounted a computer printed sentiment as i had a need for speed and didnt even have time to tidy up after myself...oops i admit it i'm a messy crafter :-/

I actually read in a crafty mag about recycling paint swatches and thought id give it a go so used one of these to mount my sentiment and just added butterflies made with the Beautiful Wings embosslit.


Similar method for the second without the paint swatch but instead mounted with So Saffron and i used the scallop border punch.


Below are the pair of them together and i really hope the recipients had fabulous birthdays x

Thats it from me tonight
Hope tomorrow brings a bit of a drier day as not stopped raining here today and blowing a gale too :(
Not good for playing out but certainly good for crafting

Take care

New Home

hi crafters

hope you are enjoying your day...weather is very wet and miserable here :0( but thats a perfect excuse for crafting, not that i actually need an excuse!!

Well today is a little welcome card for someone moving into a new home and its very cute...i love this little picture :0)



The image is non SU but love the way the crumb cake and real red make it stand out and the 2 little keys are from SAB set Elementary Elegance and cut with the jewellery tag punch attached with a small brad...lovely!




I made a couple of these as always handy to have in your card stash :0) so did one in another colourway of old olive although couldnt quite match the mushroom house so did it in lime green.


Thats it from me today...on with my crafting

take care

Birthday bike


Good Morning crafters

Another dull day herre but for the moment its stopped raining!! Hooray!!

I was unsure about this set in the summer mini but now have used im falling for it :0) and loved the way this simple birthday card for the girl next door turned out although not a great picture sorry




I used a non SU pink and crumb cake along with the whisper white and added some ribbon and gems along the borderpunch as well as the little 3d birthday cake in the basket...obviously had to colour the bike in pink too.



I added the sentiment from cheers and wishes stamp set and put a little flower gem that i found at the garden centre, the picture doesnt show this but its really sparkly and irridescent.

Thats it from me, sorry my pictures arent that great one day i may learn how to take better ones :)

have a lovely day whatever you're doing i'm off to celebrate my other halfs birthday with a relaxing day and lovely lunch out = no dishes for me weeheee!!

take care

happy crafting
