Morning all
Happy Fathers Day to all the dads and single mums wishing you all a lovely day!!
 
Todays offering is a wedding card a customer ordered to match the wedding colour scheme and I really liked the way the design turned out in the week so made a similar version.
 


I love the brightness of these colours and wish Emma & Mark a fabulous wedding day on Friday and best wishes for the future together!


 
Happy crafting
 
Take care

Good morning all
What a gorgeous sunny day here today and do hope it is wherever you are :0)
 
Quickie from me as very busy day starting with some pampering for me in 45mins at the hairdressers, out for lunch, familytime, fun n games and that's just the planned stuff!!
 
I was asked to make a wedding card so quickly rustled this up and fell in love with it so will be making more of the same design.
 
 
I printed the personalisation and wedding date on added some polka dot embossing and used the fashionable hearts embosslit to cut and emboss the hearts along the bottom.
 
You can see the different patterns better n the picture below and of course as always had to add a little bling to each heart with a coloured gem. 

 
Added a length of satin ribbon and mounted it all for the finished card.

 
I hope they like it as much as I do and wish them a fab day and future.
 
Happy crafting

Good evening all
 
Late from me today as had scheduled this but for some reason blogger didn't want to publish it!!
 
Never mind sorted now :0)
 
I am safe to show this as my Dad would not know what a blog do dah is let alone how to find mine...sorry Dad!!
 
Now my Dad has not long retired and has taken to 'playing' in the garage - he has made a multitude of garden whirligigs and birdhouses whilst pottering in the garage so wanted to make a card for Fathers Day that represented his recent DIY efforts.
 
This is the result...
 

I love these box cards I must admit and am sure my dad is going to too!!
 
 
You can just see a little garden whirligig that my Dad will find funny ass he spends the rest of the time fishing :0) I used the SU Hardwood stamp - soooo many uses!! on crumb cake and baked brown sugar base. I made a computer DIY DAD and cut into a banner and used the worlds greatest stamp which is sadly retired.
 
The 'nails' in the wood are black coloured gems.
 
Happy fathers day to all you dads out there for sunday.
I am entering this in fantasy stampers 'for the boys' challenge pop and have a look here
 
Happy crafting

Good afternoon

Late post from me today as i am not feeling very well and neither is my son...house will be quarantined if we carry on :(

It was my parents wedding anniversary this week and wanted a simple and clean card for them...i am not a fussy crafter very often!

This new stamp set which goes live July 1st was just what i needed...so cute too!!



I used the Stampin write markers to colour the image and added dots around the edge which looks a bit like paper piercing, mounted onto good old old olive and voila!!


I used a greeting from Express yourself stamp set in smoky slate and even added my parents initials on the tree like they were carved in.


Overall i love the effect :0)

Just before i go i last posted a challenge card entry for fantasy stampers challenge and i came third so am well chuffed with that - thankyou 

Happy crafting all

Well third time today but hey hits the excuse (not that I need one!!) to craft away :0)
 
This is a first for me as I don't enter challenges but seen as my crafty friend egged me on...here goes
 
The theme is Wedding Bells...
 
so I made a clean and simple card using SU hardwood, petite pairs and itty bitty punch.
 


I used pool party and pacific point as the 'something blue' and added some obligatory bling to the lil flowers and a glittery heart.
 

 
A closer look at the 3D effect

 
 
That is my entry and good luck to all who enter at
 
 
Happy crafting

Hello crafters
 
A wet and miserable day here today...where has the spring gone?!!
 
Todays offering is the simplest card that looks complicated and the recipient will love it!!
 


A friend wanted a concertina thankyou card and gave me a rough idea of what she wanted and this is the end result of my vision...as had to make 3 of them needed to be simple in design but cheery.
Add caption

I used a colourful range of  Stampin Up colours for the thankyou and a retired set for the front details
 
Very pleased with them as was the customer who ordered them



 
Happy crafting
