I LOVE Valentines…….

Pin It

Hello everyone

I have been very busy making Valentine’s card this week and weekend and now got a couple to share with you – the rest will be on my Facebook account, so please visit if you have a moment.

So here is the first one

A cute little owl which comes pre-coloured from Digistamp Boutique and therefore makes this one a quick and easy!  The hearts and die cut has a hint of colour but a little hard to see in this photo.  I have used my liquid pearls to highlight and really love the effect on the hearts, so guess you will be seeing that again!

Items used on this card were:
Card/paper stock: 6x6
white card base, Red Bazzill card, Hearts paper from a lovely LOVE pack but cant seem to find the front page
Image:
Digi stamp boutique - pre coloured and with sentiment 
Embellishments: Doodlebug twine, liquid pearls and clear gloss
 
Tools used:
Sizzix Eclips for hearts and cut scallop edge

The next card is my favourite Smile

I TOTALLY love my Sizzix Eclips machine.  I have used it some much but when it helps me created this effect I LOVE it even more.  This template was adapted from the lovely Bird’s Cards but I did change it as I just wanted the hearts.  Bird makes amazing templates for us Eclips users, and has also inspired me in so many of my projects with her skills!

Hi

Just a little card for a lovely gent in our team who got him self a promotion just before Christmas, well deserved and he will be amazing in the new role.

My card is a biggie for me 8 x 8 inch, but quite simple.

The champagne bottle and glasses are from a forever friends DVD and the background was a freebie from the internet.

Thank you for looking

Thank you for our lovely Christmas Pennies

Hi all

I spent today making a couple of little thank you cards for my parents in law and John’s Nanna and Grandpa as they have given us cash for Christmas, so always like to do a thank you.

I was playing with my CraftArtist, so thought I would have a go at some digital cards – what do you think?  I found that lovely rose in a digi kit but it was green! However my wonderful CraftArtist can soon change that!  A few gems and a little matting, and done.

Goodbye 2012…… Happy New Year 2013

Pin It
New Year
Hello
Is anyone still out there?
It me the worst blogger of 2012……..  I really can’t believe that I was so poor last year in keeping my blog updated, I have 101 excuses, but at the end of the day I was just CR*P!
So January 2013 – lets see how we go
I have loads of cards ready to blog, so need to get myself sorted and even if I just set the goal of 1 a week, and then any more is a bonus! lol
I have been keeping up with all your blogs, as I have been using Google Reader, which allows me to view your latest posts, but what I also need to ensure I do is start leaving you a message, as your daily posts do make me smile, so I will ensure that I start to tell you that also.
I have also been busy with Facebook this week, and set up a business page for my cards, to start to hopefully sell a few more this year.
So here is to wishing you a fantastic 2013, and leaving you with a few of my favourite cards this year.
Hugs
Sam
