Another baby boy….

Card of course! I do love babies but only when I can give them back to their mummy and I can go home to my cats and my crafts!  I really don’t know how you mummies find time to do crafting with those little bundles of sweetness!

This is a lovely LOTV stamp which I have coloured with koh-i-noor pencils.  The sentiment is Papermania and has been stamped twice to give a shadow effect.  Looking now I may have to add some gems…..!

Thank you for stopping by and catch you soon

LOTV Masterclass inspired card

Hey

I am as surprised as you are to see another card from me today…. and I even scheduled this one, so fingers crossed!

This is a LOTV die cut which again are cheating as they are already coloured, but I love them for these quick cards.

The lovely papers are what I got from the masterclass – as I did not make the card up on the day as I preferred to do some more colouring practice!  I am sure that Bev said that they were from Nitwits collections.  The flowers are of course as always from Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment from Craftwork cards.

Here is a close up of the lovely image

The lovely flowers – I think the little beads on wire are from hobbycraft

And lastly the arty shot! lol

Thank you for looking and hopefully I will be able to leave some comments this week on your blogs too!

Christmas Cards

Evening all

I think I did really well making over 400 Christmas cards this year, a couple of orders, some for charity and the rest for me..... however I did not do so well in taking photos of my designs, so I thought I would share the few that I did photograph and then I also have a reference point for next year as the orders have started already :o)

The first three below are using the lovely James bear from Lily of the Valley - I still have about a hundred of these coloured in, so will be using him again for sure.  Sentiments are also Lily of the Valley and the first card has been cuttlebug'd with Snowflake design.

This one is made using a lovely poinsettia stamp from Dawn Bibby collection, which was stamped onto red card and decoupaged to create the height.  Sentiment is from Paula Pascual lovely stamp collection which I purchased from Sir Stampalot - fabulous service!

Forever Friends decoupage - my card for my mum and dad - lots of glitter here

Not very traditional this one - put could not stop thinking about this design when I saw Sarita's card here  - WOW her blog is DIVINE! I spent hours drooling over her wonderful designs, and had to have a little go and this one, as I had some similar stamps by Hero Arts.  I was not so happy with how mine turned out, but I will be working of something similar for next year for sure.

This lastly, this one was my favourite design last year, and had to do a couple this year just cause I wanted too!

Hope you like them, and would love to hear what you would like to see more of on my blog, or less of!

Thank you for visiting me
