Another from me!

Hi There

I have been trying to use some of the many toppers I have which appear to be breeding in my craft room! I don't remember buying this many :)

This card is a 7x5" card blank which I have done landscape.

The papers are from a gorgeous Craft Emotions paper pad.

The topper is one by Elisabeth Bell from The Hobby House.

Everything has been matted onto Kraft cardstock, using my Perfect Layers tools.

Some amber gems in each corner of the topper, 

and three top left and bottom right finish the card off nicely.

All the goodies to make this card were bought from The Stamp Pad.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

Recently I have been playing with some Hobby House topper designs.

This is a 6x6" card blank.

Everything has been matted onto Kraft cardstock.

The different sized mats were made possible by using my Perfect Layers tools.

(these have to be my favourite tool this year :) )

Three dark amber gems in the top right and bottom left corner finish the card off.

All the goodies to make this card were bought from The Stamp Pad.

I would like to enter this card into the Challenge over at Cute Card Thursday blog.

Little Boys!

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you two cards I have made for the younger boys in our life!
These are two of my favourite images from Elisabeth Bell, for Hobby House.

This first card is a 6x6" card base.

The papers are from First Edition Man Made.

The railway papers worked so well with this image of a little boy and his train set.

I matted the paper and image onto green then red bazzill card stock.

The Play and Story tickets are by Tim Holtz

What big boy didn't want to be train driver when he grew up??

The next card is also a 6x6" card base.

This time I have gone for kraft brown for my matting and layering.

The papers are from the Wellington Range

A nail head sticker in the corners and there we have another card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hobby House

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you two more cards I have made using the Hobby House toppers.I love using toppers when Mr Mojo has gone walkies or I need a card in a hurry and don't have time to sit and colour in.

 This first card is a 6x6" card base. 

This was cut from a 12x12" sheet of green Bazzill.

With the remainder of the sheet, I used it to mat and layer the topper and papers.

The papers came as a free gift in a magazine some time ago.

(I think they are from the Prima Botanical collection)

Some small gems and a quick understated card. 

Ideal for a friend who is not well, or under the weather!

This next card is also a 6x6" card base cut from a 12x12" sheet of Bazzill.

The papers are from a Forever Friends new Baby stack. 

Matted onto the same card stock as the base.

Some small gems in the corners and there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Good Morning

Hopefully this post will be seen on Friday 30th May. I am off to the Great British Craft Show at Bolton today with a wonderful crafty friend. We are doing four workshops today, and hopefully learn lots of new fabby things.

My cards today are made using Hobby House toppers. As I have two boys I thought it would be an idea to make some for thier age group, Teenage boys are so difficult to make cards for.

 This first card is a 6x6" card base.

I have used Red and Blue bazzil card stock for the matting and layering.

Three red pearls top left nad bottom right.

A Red button with natural twine threaded through.

And some knotted red ribbon finifh this card off.

Ideal for those boys you know who love speed!

This second card was made with a 7x5" card base.

Again I just stuck to Red and Blue card for matting and layering.

Three buttons at the top right hand corner.

One larger button with some more twine at the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by.

A card from me

Good Morning Bloggers

Again, I have been away for a while, sorry about that. Life has been hectic and then there was work! Anyway, things are on the up again. I start a new job next week, and I think this is going to be that strt of something wonderful.
I finished my old job on Tuesday so spent yesterday trying to find my mojo! I started off by using some Hobby House toppers and just making cards with them, then one thing led to another and before I knew it I had made some cards and a small 'Prom Book' ready for my friends Daughters prom!

So today I am going to showcase the last card I made yesterday.

I have used a 7x5" card blank.

The papers are some which I have had laying around for a while.

This is a Lili of the Valley Stamped image which has been coloured in with promarkers. 

It was then die cut and then embossed and inked.

The flowers were die cut using a Marianne Die and then layered up.

I would like to enter this card into this weeks Cutie Pie Challenge,
and also this months challenge at Crafty Little Faries.

Thanks for stopping by.
