Hi crafters

For my recent crafternoon which I admit was designed/prepped in a little of a rush so I turned to pinterest for some inspiration and of course I wasn't disappointed.

I decided on a little card buffet kinda thing...so out of 6 cards you got to choose the 3 YOU wanted to make rather than just doing it exactly as I had made them.

Here are a couple of cards that the ladies chose to make

Happy crafting

Hello

Continuing with the F theme today using Flower patch stamp set

We made this card at a recent crafternoon and it certainly cheered us up with these colours on a dull day.

Good morning and happy Sunday!

Back with my alphabet journey and to get two birds with one stone so to speak I used this as a 'welcome back to the team' card for a returning downline.

We are on

and I used First Sight stamp set in calypso coral, smoky slate and very vanilla.

The sentiment was cut out with the fantastic stitched shapes dies and added flowers made ith botanical builder dies.

Hope the recipient likes it.

Good morning all

I know I have been a bit hit and miss with my blog posting so far this year for which I apologise, the reason is I have a very large wedding stationery order to complete so it has taken me longer than I thought as more items were added on a few times :0) but that is all done and dusted now so let's hope I get back n track.

Today we are finally continuing with the alphabet journey with

and using the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set.

I have used mint macaron and some retired dsp I found when 'tidying' - you know the kind of tidying I mean when you know you have something somewhere but just can not find it!!

Stitched frames dies layered and the bottom is pearlescent card you can just see the shimmer.

This is for my sister in law's birthday hope she likes it.

Good morning guys

After the fab blog hop last weekend my friend loved the layout of my project and requested the same for her Valentine's card to her hubby so down sized a little for her card

Obvious colour combo of black, white and red and lovely sparkly heart

Morning

Today we have our monthly challenge over on notjustcardschallenge.blogspot.co.uk

with the theme Springtime.

This months sponser is Scrap n Dipity and my chosen image is called springtree.

I decided to do a simple scrap book page and combined the image printed in two different sizes with stampin ups Sprinkles of life set to get my 'tree' effect and glimmered with my wink of stella!!

the alcohol in the pen makes the ink run and just love the effect. I watercoloured the background for the scenic touch and added some cute photos of my son playing in the park.

Join in the challenge too

Happy crafting

Morning

Good morning and welcome to another fantastic Jem's Blog hop

So you may of got here from Gill's blog for this month's theme of hearts - not just for Valentines!

I decided to make a 8x8 scrapbook layout and used the sunshine sayings stamp set to make my background - I used the leaf to make heart shapes in smoky slate and added the watercolour wash stamp over in mint macaron.

My photo is of me and my son - quality time together (and a cupcake thrown in too!) and used the heart frame that matches the stamp set in glimmer paper to add my usual sparkle.

My pictures are not great as bad light at the moment sorry.

Diecut the word Love from same set.
