shapes in the middle.

First of all I am so chuffed
my card was picked by the random
number generator
over at Papertake Weekly!

*Happy claps* LOL

Right back to this next selection
of cards from the last few days.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card is using
Lisa's sketch over at
Sketch & Stash.
The new stash is the birdie stamps.
The ribbon is new from Crafty Ribbons,
but the ovals is using fiskers cutting thingy
that I just can not get the hang of at all!

I have a nice new blade, the right mat,
(Thanks Kath!)
but nope.
So I draw round the holes
in the template sheet
and cut them out!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next one is also a challenge card,
can you tell I am
on holiday from work this week?

Sugar Nellie have a sketch by Marlene
and have the added girlie theme if you want it.
Well I am not sure she is feminine
but she is a girl!
I love this wee Gothic Girl !

After being all messy with chalk inks
I just wanted something clean & simple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Creative Card crew want
and easel card.
And my sentiment means
I can enter it in
A spoonful of sugar
who want
good luck or best wishes.
Anyone for Anya want flowers.
I have punched out parchment
instead of velum this time.
They looks so much softer.
This card is using Tash's Sketch
over at Oh Alice!
And Tash wants daisies on the card.
So there are in fact daisies
on the card.

The beautiful Lace was a gift from
my lovely mate Amanda!

No puppy photos today.
Camera they are on is flat!
Hope you are all well.

bits & pices

I have had a busy few days.
Got a few cards done, hope you don't
mind me posting them all at once.
I am entering several challenges with them too.

First one is a house mouse sketch card.
The papers are beautiful.
It was hard to cut the one with the text on it !
I used a glue pen to add some glamour dust
to the word love, it is going in the post
to some one special soon. x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My pal Mairi has sadly lost her fantastic wee dog Ben
he was an important wee man to both Mairi
and her mum, so I made them matching cards.

I kept them simple and non fussy.
The black card has the same paw print stamped
on with versa mark.
I used silver embossing on one paw print only.

Inside I printed my message
which included this text.

It's hard when you loose a much loved
furry family member.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card is made using Sammi's dove image
that she designed just for me for my Birthday!
How cool is that!!!

I am entering it in ABC challenge
who want it to be orderly.
So that means if you have one bit of ribbon
you must balance it with another one.
I am also entering it on A spoonful of sugar
who want a celebration card.
what better celebration than a marriage.

I love these pair of love birds!
I have layered them on black card
and put that on red paper I embossed.

My time to craft are looking for love & marriage
so thats just perfect for this card !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you know I am loving this flower stamp
very much just now, I am trying to make my
sister several cards with her fave Love is passage.

So I came up with this......
I stamped the flower using brown stazon,
coloured with distressing inks.
Used the same stayzon to stamp
the love is onto acetate.
Held it in place with brads.

The flowers are green vellum
with wee pearls in the centre.

I am entering it in Once stop challenge as effort
of a vintage card. Vintage is not my normal
at all, I am not sure it is vintage enough.

so that's me, a mixture of friendship, love,
sadness, and birthday wishes....

hope you are well.
much love teen xxx

puppy stamps and stuff.

Thanks for all your comments about Poppy Dog.
She is all better now, back to being cheeky !

I have taken two days from work this week.
This working lark is seriously getting
in the way off my crafting time......

This is a long post.
So make yourself comfy!
Here are some of my makes.

This wee box came with flowers in it,
I can't remember which flowers it was....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This box is decorated to match
a card I made earlier this week,
the flowers are Bo Bunny,
I have filled it with goodies,
and it will be posted to a mate
as soon as I get organised!

The wee bee brad is Poppicrafts
and the sentiment is See D Stamps.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This one is very different from
what I normally make.
But I like it.
The stamps are Stampin Up
I like the fact the centre
is just the buffed cards stock.
I used sukura pens to glitter the stamps.
I used the cuttle bug on the blue card stock.
The ribbon flower is made with Poppicraft ribbons,
I was thinking about entering it in the
competition over there to use ribbons
as the main feature, but I am going
to have another go at this challenge.

I am entering it in Cute Card Thursday
who want flowers on the cards this week.
ABC Challenge this week is
J for jagged edge.
I have tied wee knots in the ribbon on the left
and used that to hold the beads in place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one is not for any challenge.
The petals are vellum on
a punched out large flower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just love this new stamp of mine!
It is beautiful but I am struggling to colour it
as well as I would like.


I have tired a couple of ways now.
This card has it embossed with versamark
and then heat embossed with glittery black powder.
Then shaded it with grey pro markers.

It is perfect for Creative Card Crew's
Monochrome Madness.

A spoonful of sugar's challenge this week is
To use die's or punches.
I have used punches to cut the flowers
and my nesties to cut & emboss the matting.
The flowers are vellum and glitter card.
The wee sentiment stamps are again SU.

Beady Jan suggested that I tired stamping it
on black or dark card and then
embossing with silver or grey powder.

I tired but I think the stamp is to detailed.
But thank you Beady Jan for the idea.
Thanks to everyone who left me tips
and ideas about colouring in black.
it is a work in progress!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last one I promise!
Over at Just Christmas & Birthday cards
Janina has done a lovely sketch.
I have used a house mouse image
that Vanessa has sent to me.
The wee snowflake is is a See D Stamp,
used with silver ink.

The ribbon is also Poppicrafts .

OK, I am away to go see what you have all been up to.

Much love
