Get Well Soon

Hi There

Today I would like to share with you a card I made for my Godmother when she was poorly recently.
She was taken ill andadmitted to hospital in Scotland where she lives. I couldn't get there (about 5 hour car journey!) and I couldn't send flowers (as they are not allowed in the hospital). So I decided to send a card.

As usual recently, the card base is a 6x6" card blank.

I backed everything onto Pink Bazzill cardstock. 

The papers are from the 'Heartfelt' paper pack from LOTV.

The topper is also from LOTV.

A small doily pops out from behind the image to make a pocket.

In the pocket is a tag cut with a Marianne Die.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

Babies First Christmas

Hi There

Today I would like to share with you a couple of cards I have made for a Baby's first Christmas.

This first one is a 6x6" card blank

The papers are from Lili of the Valley 'Pastel Dreams' paper pad.

The image os from the LOTV Christmas Cuties XL Art Pad.

Clear gems from my stash.

This next card is a 7x5" card blank.

Again the papers are from LOTV Pastel Dreams Paper pad.

Once again the image is from the Christmas Cuties XL Art Pad.

Gems again from my stash.

I am finding that if I get papers to match an image it is helpful, 

and quicker to make a couple of cards in the same colours.

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Christmas Card

Morning

Today I would like to share another card I have made using the Lili of the Valley XL Christmas Art Pads.
If you look at yesterdays post you will see that the two cards look kinda similar. This is because I am trying to make more that one card, as the bits and pieces all match colour wise. I am also hoping that this will help my mojo and the number of cards I make.

Again I have used a 6x6" card blank.

Blue cardstock embossed with 'Let it Snow' embossing folder.

Let it Snow grungy Christmas Messages.

Paper from 'Father Knows Best' paper pad.

Small brown gems in each corner.

Thanks for stopping by.

Life has once again got in the way of me crafting. But I am ever hopeful that it will get back on track.
Today I would like to share with you a card I have made recently.

This is a 6x6" white card blank.

I have used blue Cordinations card which has been embossed with the 

'Let It Snow' embossing folder from Crafters Companion.

The image is from a Lili of the Valley XL Art Pad

The heart shaped doily is from my stash.

Cutie Pie Challenge

Hi there

Today I would like to share with you a card I have made for this weeks Cutie Pie Challenge. This weeks theme is Buttons and Bows. As with my recent makes, this is again using a Hobby House Topper. I am really enjoying the process of making up cards with these at the moment as I haven't got the time to be stamping and colouring in.

This is a 6x6" card blank.

Everything is matted onto Kraft brown cardstock.

The background papers is actually Hobby House card in Snowflake Flurry and Check.

Around the topper I have stamped a snowflake stamp in Festive Berries Distress Ink.

I think this just takes away the starkness of the white topper.

I have added a red organza bow.

There are three small red buttons in the bottom right hand corner,

 and one large red button in the top left hand corner.

I would like to enter this into this weeks Cutie Pie Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Hobby House

Hi There

Yes I'm afraid its another Hobby House card from me today. For this card I have tried to go a bit more shabby vintage with this, but I'm not sure it has worked.

This is a 7x5" portrait white card blank.

The papers are from a Craft Emotions paper pad.

Everything has been matted onto Kraft cardstock.

There is some cream lace wrapped around the bottom layer. 

I have added a cream doily in the top right hand corner.

A gem in each corner of the topper.

A small bow in the top right hand corner.

Thanks for stopping by.
