Lattace card

I have been looking at some of these cards on a forum and really like them so had a "bash" myself.
I was going to leave it all white but decided to add a bit of blue chalk. The card was a 3 fold apperture card I've had for a long time from when I did cross-stitch cards, so I just cut the oval out on the "flap" bit that folds in. This saved me making a backing card.  The flowers are a mixture of punched and crealies. Hope you like it.

Teachers Leaving card

I was asked to make a card for a teacher who is leaving. Simple I thought......until I was asked to have2 grannies baking on it.  Well I serched the internet and found a granny holding a baking tray with cakes on so bought the image, only it was coloured . Well here is the product.

I used my pro-markers to change the colour of the pinny. The background I stamped buns all over randomly then stamped them onto card and coloured them in but used a red glaze for the cherries and glitter for the icing.  The person was well impressed with the result.

Santa's Sunday

Hello there. I've not been posting because I can't comment on other friends cards.But I can see them so hopefully you can all see mine.  Your cards are fantastic and have given me plenty of inspiration which I thank you all for very much.  I have been on the net a lot of late because my friend over in America has a very poorly grand-daughter. Thank goodness for facebook though as her mum is one of my "friends" and been posting up dates.  Today she is having a major operation so I hope you will all join me in wishing her a full recovery. So now to this weeks card, I watched Sue on a Spell binders programme yesterday morning and she did a demo of this so I had a go and this is the result.  I feel there is something missing like a greeting  but will have another look later.

Thankyou for looking, please if you can post a comment.

Flower card

This card is another go at using nothing but my dies.  I have got some Marianne flower dies and used a Martha Stewart punch all round. To finish it off I have used some pearls and a little tag message, only when I stuck the tag on I noticed it was the wrong way.  But as we say in crafting it's just a happy accident and I have just put the card landscape instead of portrate.

Owl Card

This a crad I was asked to make for a friend at work for her husband.  She wanted an Owl theme so hope she likes the result.

I have also stamped around the insert with the same flourishes I have used around the topper.

Another Week gone

Gosh aren't the weeks going by quickly?  I have been busy card making but only taken photo's of a couple of them. My first card is for my christmas card for this weeks theme which is Ribbon.  I had umpteen attempts before I settled for this as I knew what I wanted but couldn't work it out right.

Die cut card

Sorry I've not posted for a while but I have been making cards, but not posting them on here.
Well this week I thought I would share my first attempt at this kind of card.  I have been watching a Dutch lady who in my opinion makes the most gorgeous cards and I finally gave in and had a go. Here is the card.

I have used spell-binders for the back-ground, corners and the flower is the Poinsetta die.  The swirls are a Marianne design,the first layer is a Martha Stewart punch and finally the next layer is a Nellie Snellon. I have used Tim Holtz ink to get it some depth and finished ogreeting.ff with peel-offs butterfly(because I don't have a punch) and greeting.
Please leave your comments after looking .
