Hello crafters!

 

Happy Christmas!!

 

Hope you all had a wonderful festive season spending time with family, friends and loved ones and having lots of fun and laughter...we have :0)

 

I was lucky enough to receive some crafty goodies as presents too but only got chance to play with them today = excited Karyn!!

 

Seen as we all got lots of lovely presents I set about making Thank You cards first and these are just the cutest and so simple.

 

 

Bermuda Bay and Pistachio pud look great together with the simple stamp that is coming soon in the new year so watch this space for more information...

 

These cards are only 3x3 inches and look classy in very vanilla don't you think

 

My parents bought me the simply scored board finally added it to my collection of stampin up goodies and so had to just add a simple line around the stamped area for detail.

 

I had a fair few to make and hope the people receiving them like them as much as me :0)

 

 

Happy crafting

 

 



Merry christmas

Good Morning crafters

 

Quick post today with just a small selection of the Christmas cards I have been making... orders went very well this year and along with other things I have been kept very busy!!

 

I love doing this technique for the salty backgrounds and loved the way these turned out making me think of lovely starry skies.

 

 

 

I stamped the snowflakes in silver and black to make the background stand out and added a dazzling diamonds snowflake to the sentiment.

 This one used the holiday home set which is great and adore the santa and his sleigh streaking across the sky...soo cute!!

 

Hope your Christmas crafting is coming along...I still have a fair bit to do so best get busy.

 

happy crafting

Grab yourself some fantastic bargains up till Jan 5th 2015 whilst stocks last!!

 

Visit my online store today :0)

WOW!

 didn't think it was that long since I last blogged but how time flies when you are having fun doesn't it :0)

 

Ive been sooo busy finishing off wedding on the day stationery  and other orders slipped my mind ...oh dear!!

 

 

Today I want to show you a glimpse of just some of the things I have been upto.

 

 

The lovely vintage shabby chic placecard design I came up with for a recent wedding with the quota of a hint of coral and the couple wanted table names using motorbikes...thought it would be difficult to make them look 'shabby chic-ish' but loved the way they turned out.

 

The bike names were 3d cut with my silhouette cameo machine - love that too!! you can see the detail of embossing and flowers better on this close up picture.

 I used pistachio pudding card along with a  hint of calypso coral and basic pearls.

Tableplan done too and the birdcage charms matched those used on their wedding invitations too...the couple in question loved all the work I did for them which makes all my time and effort even more worthwhile :0)

 

Just before I go another of my loves at the moment is the stampin up curvy keepsake box die and have been going quite box crazy for them so just a sneeky peek!!

 

 

That all for today hope you all have a lovely weekend

 

take care and happy crafting

Good Morning all

 

Well I have a busy day ahead so will be quick today...it as my brothers birthday on Thursday and I always struggle with male cards but I had an idea in my head and this is the result!!!

 

 

 

 I stamped stars in black on the black cardstock and used something to say stamp set for the coloured stars which very handily comes with a matching punch...sooo cool no fussy cutting for me lol!!

 

I used the retired (sorry) filmstrip stamp and added some mad little pics of my bro in them :0)

 

 

Then just added a few tiny non SU gems left over from baby shower to add some detail and bling!!

 



 

That's me for today hope you all have a fab day whatever you are up to

 

Happy Crafting

Morning crafters

 

Its a lovely sunny day here just right for crafting with the patio doors open :0)

 

Well it was my friends last day at work on Friday before starting a new chapter and going on maternity leave for 6 months so could not resist making her a little gift...

 

so introducing this little fella made using the new SU curvy keepsake box die - love it!!

 

 

I used various sized circle punches to make the eyes and dummy and as we are having a boy things had to be blue!!

 

Even added a little blonde curl...awww cutie!!!

Simply finished off with a little tag that you get with the die as well as 2 other shapes and stamped 'it's a boy'.

 

Good luck to Sheena you will be a fantastic mum!!

 

Will be playing with this die again this weekend so keep an eye out for more projects.

 

Happy Crafting
