HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!!

 

Todays offering is a card I made for my late friend Pat..(.I set up a facebook page in her memory hence why I am making her a card) so while on a roll with the typeset papers I carried on as you will see in future posts :0)

Good afternoon all

 

Sorry for the late post but been off enjoying the last day with my son before school starts again and what a glorious day it has been :0)

 

I have been trying to spread a little kindness and have chose 5 people who want to help too so todays offering is the little pack of cards in a lovely box that I have posted out to a lovely friend today.

 

I used the lovely stamp set beautiful bunch in lost lagoon and blackberry bliss with hint of old olive for good measure and the effect is gorgeous!!

 

I used the lovely lace embossing folder on the whisper white cards along with sentiments from garden party and flower patch, then used kraft card and the typeset DSP to create the cards below.

 

All blinged with gems as wouldn't be complete without a bit of sparkle and heres them all together with a peek at the box...will show you that another day :-)

 

That's me for today hope you're having a lovely day where you are

 

Happy Crafting

Good Morning

 

A mixture of a day here today sunny but wet if you get what I mean...

 

 

Well  bit of a combination for todays offering as this is to celebrate friends who got married yesterday, I made their wedding stationery etc in ivory and Cadbury purple which is so popular at the moment but wanted to step away from that with their card so...

 

 

I went for a nice yellow with So saffron and stamped, punched and glued all the little flowers down. the sentiment is embossed in gold. Simple but gorgeous.

 

The combination part of this post is I will be entering this into a challenge on Fantasy stampers challenge blog the subject this time being hearts and flowers... I covered both these with this one!!

 

Thanks for stopping by

 

Happy crafting

Good evening all

 

I have been absent from blogland for a few weeks...just soo busy with wedding stuff as well as life in general and have been planning a baby shower for a friend which was this weekend so can share some pics now without spoiling the surprise :0)

 

I turned a changing table into a sweetie cart full of goodies that just look fantastic, so cute everyone loved that.

 

 

I got a fab idea from pinterest - addicted to it!! - about this frame with mini washing lines on where you write a message or words of advice/wisdom on a babygro and add to the washing...lots of fun.

 

We had lots of food including cupcakes, baby face cookies and the cake which had two shades of blue inside all made by my mum and niece...I admit I cant bake!! But they were greatly appreciated by all who came to the shower!

I did make the simple chalkboard style banner tho :0)

 

 



 

In case you didn't realise already...she is having a boy!!

Good Morning all

 

WOW! a week has passed already...in the blink of an eye to be honest!!

 

 

Well for once in the last few weeks I do not have a childrens party to attend today just lunch with the mother-in-law :0) and its a beautiful day here so am looking forward to spending some time out in the sunshine too.

 

 

Today I am showing you the lovely little earring holder gifts I made for the ladies I work with...we are a family there and I appreciate them all for the help and love they have given me over a difficult few months sojust wanted them to know that with a cute pair of earrings.

 

 

I used smoky slate embossed with modern mosaic and cut with circle framelets, then stamped using petal parade in smoky slate and punched 2 holes for the earrings to fit in.

 

I stamped an image from chalk talk in various colours to match the earrings and to suit each of the recipients.

 

And here they are all together...lovely.

 

The ladies loved them!!

 

Happy crafting and have a lovely day wherever you are.

Good Morning all

 

 

Quick post from me today as busy day ahead filled with childrens parties!!

 

I love the clean and simple look to cards and this project will be entered into this fortnight challenge over on Fantasy Stampers

 

The challenge is Clean and Simple so here goes...

 

 

I used the babywipe technique with reinkers to get the beautiful multi-coloured effect to the flowers stamped using petite petals and punched out with the matching punch...no fussy cutting for me!!

Stamped simple background using gorgeous grunge.

 

Sentiment stamped using petite pairs...bit of a petite them going on don't you think :-)

and gem to the centre of the flowers!!

 

You can see the effect on the flowers better on this close up picture.

 

Happy crafting

Afternoon Crafters

 

A lovely day here today...gardening is calling but needed to make a few things before I do that!!

 

A friend has a special birthday coming up and we have bought many gifts for her so obviously we needed some packaging suitable for her special birthday. This is what I came up with...

 

 

I decorated a large SU kraft box using so saffron DSP all around as well as having yet another go at using my spiral flower die...I have really struggled to get to grips with this as my flowers never seemed to look right :(

 

 

I stamped gorgeous grunge  in crumb cake on very vanilla and mounted on black to make it stand out added my flowers in so saffron, perfect plum and blushing bride along with pear pizazz leaves and tiny pearls dotted about.

 

You can just about see the jumbo pearls I used at the centre of the flowers and the sentiment is from Chalktalk stamped in baked brown sugar.

 

Love it!!

 

Happy crafting guys
