Card and Wallets

Hi all

I'm sharing a Christmas card and some money wallets today.

I saw the money wallets being made on Hochanda and thought it was great idea and had to make some straight away, I changed them slightly as I didn't want to put them into envelopes so I made the slip on band.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi ya

I promise these are my last Zentangle, for a while anyway....lol

I think there might be one male who hasn't had one, I 'll put that right next year!

As always thanks for your visit.

Christmas Underwear

Hi all

Today's Christmas cards are for the older nieces and nephews.

The image is digi image (glad I still believe), coloured with promarkers and a bit of glitter for the girls.

It's a nice feeling to know you've finished your chrissy cards as well....lol

 If I could put a big smiley face here I would.

Thanks for your visit, it is much appreciated.

Hi All

I'm sharing something new and different for me it's a couple of mixed media projects I attempted with a craft group I attend. I've made a few of these but have never managed to finish them but these were finished and I really like how they turned out. 

The first was a sort of flat canvas and the second was an A5 book.

As always thanks for your visit..

Lest we forget

Hiya

Today I'm sharing a poppy card I made for my friend Lis over the pond and I think it appropriate to share it on the 11th day of the 11th month.

To all service men and women...thank you!

As always thanks for your visit..

Christmas inkinesss

Hello

Doing well with my Christmas cards, which is good really as I still have birthday ones to fit in as well.

These were made using a Clarity Stencil, Hobby House Stamps and a stampendous stamp ( I think) also my beloved distress inks...lol and it wouldn't be Christmas without the glitter!

Lis, don't look one will be winging it's way to you very soon....lol

As always thanks for your visit.

Christmas

Hello

I'm on catch up at the moment after a week away with my lovely sisters in Rhodes. The weather wasn't brilliant we had some terrible rain but when the sun shone it was red hot.

So onto some more Christmas cards, these are for the younger girls in the family and the papers, image and designs were from a Christmas mag.

Thanks as always for your visit, it is much appreciated.

MIL Christmas

Hello everyone

I 'm just sharing my first christmas card of 2015, it's for my MIL.

I got the inspiration from this lovely blog here.

It's using the free die from Crafter's Companion mag and a Poppystamps Die that I've had for ages and never used (if I knew how to insert an embarrassed face I would) and found that I really liked the die after I'd put it together. I've glittered around the edges just to add a little sparkle...

it is a Christmas card after all...lol

Thank you for your visit, I really do appreciate...

Botanical Rose

Hi everyone

I thought I better get this post done before our internet goes down again,

 it's been on and off all week,a real pain....

 So I was making this card for a lady whose party we are attending on Friday but my  husband and his big mouth...lol suggested I make the husbands card for his wife, not giving me much time as usual (as I've said many times before I don't make quick cards) so I had to adapt my card to suit and use a card from my stash for us to give.

.... not very happy about it.

The recipe is spellbinders dies and a new purchase, Botanical Rose and Classic Leaf from Heartfelt Creations. I will definitely need to get the die to match the classic leaf as it was a pain to cut by hand. 

As always thanks so much for your visit.....

Hiya

My card for today is for my lovely niece Romy who will be 21 on the 3rd October. I just love this presscut die for the shutter card and it worked really well with the photographs....not sure how happy she will be with the photo's...lol 

The middle one is her dad's (my brother) favorite.

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

Zentangle

Hello

Sorry to be boring but today card I'm sorry to say is a little more Zentangle....lol for my nephew...

 You are not seeing things I have already posted a Steve Zentangle, this is just a different shape.

Thanks as always for visiting............

Hi everyone

Today's card is for my hubby's brother.

I used presscut shutter die, SU paper, Papermania gear die, britannia numbers die with gilding wax added and the image was an old one.

As always thanks for your visit.....

Butterflies

Hiya

Still naff weather I see, I think we have had our summer but I suppose it let's us craft and the weeds grow...lol

This weeks card has no recipient at the moment, I used Chloe's' Butterfly stamp again, with distress inks and glitter, added some ribbon and a few gems.

As always thanks for your visit......

Inkylicious

Hiya

What's happening with the weather.... my brother had a BBQ on Saturday to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary(forgot to take a photo of the card) and my nieces 21st (not till October but she will be back at uni by then), the weather was beautiful till late afternoon when the heaven's opened luckily we had eaten by then and had to take cover....typical british BBQ..lol

Onto my card which was for my husband's aunt, I have made a similar one but on a square card and thought this worked well with the oval.

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

Hello 

Hope everyone is well, today cards is using Chloe's butterfly stamp again. Stamped on to acetate (again) and this time I used shabby pink embossing enamel. The flowers are delicate aster by Spellbinders and the greeting is Stampin Up.

Not got a recipient for it yet.

As always thanks for your visit.

Shutter card

Good morning..

It was a cracking weekend wasn't it, hubby went wild camping so I was left to my own devices......wonder what I did....lol

I've never successfully managed to make shutter or stepper cards before especially when having to make them from scratch, I've never been happy with the cuts and folds. 

I've seen the tattered lace one on telly and liked it but wasn't prepared to part with fifty quid ( I know there are a few dies in the set) so imagine my delight while visiting my local craft stall to find this press cut one (never heard of them before), not as many dies but it was enough for me and I'll certainly be adding some more of them . 

So I had a play and created this card for a friend at work whose birthday is Tuesday (we get cakes as well...lol) and I have a few more on the go.

Well thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it.....

Butterflies

Hello again, hope you are all well. 

What's up with the weather, this time last week we were tempted to put the heating on at work and this week it's been a bit hot.

So on to this weeks card, I've used a chloe stamp for the butterflies and then stamped onto acetate and  cut the butterflies out,the flower stamp is a Sheena Douglas with a bit of glitter. 

Not sure of the recipient yet, my niece will be 21 in October and she likes purple so I may add 21 and us it....we'll see.

Thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it.

Hellooo

Hope you are all well and not too wet, flippin weather!

I'm sharing my niece's card today, made with one of my fav images "Daisy", grand nesties and prisma pencils.

As always , your visit is very much appreciated.
