Last Christmas Card

Hiya this is a scheduled post (as I'm away sunning myself) so I hope it works and I will try and catch up with you all when I get home.

Before I share today's card, I would like to remember my lovely mom. It would have been her birthday today, she died nearly 13 years ago and I still really miss her and you wouldn't believe how many times I wished I could speak to her...so "Happy Birthday Mom"

Today's card is my last Christmas card...hooray....lol and it's for my mother-in-law and she has been a lovely mother-in-law!

All I need to say now is Happy New Year to you all and thanks for all your continued support!

Christmas cards

Hello

Christmas has sneaked up rather quickly, I still have a few to share, these cards were based on a card I made in a Stampin Up class.
Stampin Up cards are generally on the smaller size, so I adapted it to a 6 x 6 card.

As always thanks for your visit and I'd like to take the opportunity you wish you all a Merry Christmas!

More Christmas cards

Hiya

Today's cards are for males in the family, simply ones really.
The first one is for my husbands son ( I really loved this digi when I saw it and of course had to have it...lol), the other 2 designs will be going to our nephews.

I have just noticed that I haven't added any glitter to the bottom 2, "What no glitter" I hear you say, yes "no glitter" and I've sealed the envelopes.......

As always thanks for your visit and any comments are really appreciated!

Christmas cards

Hiya

I thought it was time I shared some christmas cards with you, these are for my younger nieces. One of my crafty friends came to class with these stamps and I thought they would be great for the girls, so I stamped a few images to use. I love the snowman with his wonky hat and the birds sitting on the Deer's antlers.
I've also added the card for the older girls as well, well they are adults really...lol but I wasn't very happy how these turned out, they looked better in my head.

I've also made my MIL's card and taken a photo, only to realise that I've forgotten to put any sort of greeting on and I've just tidied up and put everything away in my craft room for visitors. It has knocked the smug grin off my face I can tell you...lol

As always thanks for your visit and any comments you may leave.

It's a girl!

Good morning folks

Today's card has given me a bit of stress...lol, it's one of those cards you don't make in advance unless you know the sex of the baby but I did know I wanted to use the Bambino digi image.
So she had a girl and I thought oh that's easy but oh no, I had one sheet of a nice pink flowery 12 x 12 paper, so off I went to see if I could get some more but I couldn't and my local craft shop only had this yellow (and time was getting on) and now I feel that it's too yellow...lol what do you think?

As always thanks so much for your visit, I really appreciate your comments!

60th

Hiya

My card for today was for my cousin who celebrated being 60 with a party. I really liked how it turned out.  I used an 8x8 card blank, a couple of different A4 embossing folders and the delicate astors stamps and dies, added a little distress ink around the edges and a bow.

Thanks for your visit it is much appreciate!

Niece

Hiya

Todays card is for my little niece, I just had to use this cute image from LOTV, coloured with promarkers. It has turned out better than expected even though my mojo seems to have done a runner and I have loads to do, which doesn't help much...lol

As always thanks for your visit!

Anniversary

Hi Everyone

25th Wedding Anniversary

Hi all

Sometime ago my cousin asked me to make her a card for her husband for their 25th Wedding Anniversary, I gave my cousin her card the last time we had a get together you can see the card
here,  Her husband  knew I was making the card and asked if it wasn't late too late would I make him one as well and this is what I came up with. I think he liked, not sure she will...lol

As always, thanks for your visit, it really is much appreciated.

Sympathy

Hiya

I am glad to say that I do not require the cards I am sharing today, at least not yet, just thought I'd get a couple in the bag, so to say,
I've used the lovely Clearly Besotted "Happy Everything" rose stamp again.

As always thanks for your visit!

Anniversary

Hi

Today's card is the rose stamp again from the "Happy Everything" stamp set, on this one I tried to use distress inks as water colours, this is for a work colleagues anniversary, I still have a few to share...lol I do like this stamp.

As always thanks for popping by!

Beautiful Rose

Hiya

My card for today is using the clearly besotted "Happy Everything", it is a lovely set I have used the words on a few projects but only just used the rose stamp and as usual I had to take a look at pinterest for some inspiration but I have a few coloured  in now with different mediums and they are just waiting to be made into cards.

As always thanks for your visit, it is much appreciated.

Delicate Astors

As always thanks for your visit, it is always appreciated!

Males!

Hiya

Today's cards are for the males in our lives, fairly simple using Stampin Up stamps.I stamped with distress inks and the added a little water.  Have I told you I hate male cards...lol

Sympathy

Hiya

My cards today are for a very sad occasion, both are for my cousin who has sadly died from cancer, it started with breast cancer. The first one is for my aunt and uncle and the second is for my cousin's  husband and daughters.

Thanks for your visit!

Free Stamps

Hello

My card for today is for my niece, who will be 10 in August. I used the free Lavinia stamps that came with a mag and my trustee distress inks. Really lovely and good quality stamps.
I haven't put a greeting on as you never know she might want to frame it. Well I can hope...lol

As always thanks for your visit, it is always very much appreciated.

Wedding

Hello bloggers

My card for today is my brother's wedding day card. He's the last of my siblings to tie the knot and he has left it late, I think he has been trying to avoid it....lol I hope I've got the colour combo right, I've also made a gift card to match.
Looking forward to the family gathering, it should be lots of fun!

As always thanks for your visit, it is much appreciated.

25th Wedding Anniversary

Hi everyone

Hope you are all well? My cousin asked if I would make her a card for her husband, they will have been married 25 years in October. I've made it this early as we will be meeting up in August for my brother's wedding (I still have that card to share) and I also need the room tidied up as my sister and her husband will be stopping with me. She didn't want anything mushy and obviously I couldn't bling it up. Considering I normally panic when asked to make a card , I'm pleased it all came together and didn't stress me out (except I only had two 12x12 sheets of the paper and messed one sheet up)...lol  So let's hope she likes it.

As always thanks for your visit it really is appreciated!
