For Valentine

Here's a card I made for a colleague to send to his girlfriend.

The image is from a Penny Black set coloured with promarkers, papers are by craft creations and the ribbom is some I bought whilst on holiday in Fairford last year as I was getting a bit low (insert tongue in cheek).

Scallop square is a nestability and the hearts have been punched out using a small paper shapers primitive heart punch.

Sentiment is by Craftwork Cards as is all the cardstock on the card.

Thank you as always for looking and a happy Valentines day to all

....... and again

Heres the card I made and sent to my niece for her birthday earlier this month. It's another card made with the confetti collection, think we will probably have almost a full week of those as I have something different for tomorrow.

The flower is stamped in the Stampin up craft white ink onto the back of one of the patterned papers and comes from a Hero Arts set which I just had to have last year and this was the first time I had used it. It's been in and out of that drawer like I don't know what. I've gone around that papers with platinum glitter glue to add a bit of sparkle.

Thank you for looking

Back to the confetti

Here's another card made with the confetti range. I made this card a few nights ago, before the botanicals collection arrived and every bit of it apart from the chalk ink around the edge of the paper is from the project of the month kit.

I think getting these kits and the Julie Hickey inspiration up at Sam Taylors has kick started me a bit.

So thanks to her and thanks to you as always for looking and taking the time to comment.

Couldn't resist

I'm afraid that I couldn't resist the new Botanical collection from Craftwork Cards so I gave in on Wednesday lunchtime and ordered the Prject of the Month, and there it was in the post bag at work the morning after along with the complementing (is that a word) die cut flowers as a bit on the side.

I set to and made 4 cards last night, and here are two of them. I could have carried on if I am honest but the need to get up for work today stopped me.

I just added in some grosgrain ribbon from my collection to the card on the left but everything else is from Craftwork Cards.

Thank you as always for looking and for taking the time to comment

Another birthday

The birthdays are coming thick and fast at the moment. This card was for Rachel whose birthday was yesterday.

On Sunday we went up to Samuel Taylors as Julie Hickey was demoing, it was lovely to see here and her lovely samples. So much so I came home and ordered the a Project of the Month which arrived very quickly on Tuesday. I set to on Tuesday night and made this card from the project sheet on the back, just adding glitter glue to the card candy. So as you may have gathered everything on this card is by Craftwork cards, it was almost like going on a workshop.

Another outing for the precious moments stamp

It was Paulines birthday on Tuesday and I inked up one of my favourite Sarah Kay stamps for her card. I've coloured it with promarkers to match the Crate papers and cardstock from Craftwork Cards. The base card is made from Bazzill.

The sentiments are Craftwork Cards and Hero Arts. Flowers are got flowers and the jewels are from Papermania.

I don't think I have used this colour combination before but I think it works.

Thank you as always for looking

Kaths birthday

It was Kaths birthday on Sunday, hope you had a lovely day Kath and this is the card I made her. Iused my new Penny Black Constellations stamp along with basic gray Euphoria papers, another favourite and a couple of nestabilities circles. Some Martha Stewart butterflies, lace and ribbon and a Paula Pascual stamp for the sentiment finished it off.

Thank you for looking
