Coming to the End of Sale A Bration Offer on the 28th February 2011

I used Garden Green SU Cardstock for the base of the card.

I then cut a piece of So Saffron SU Cardstock.

I used stampin ' write markers to colour the flowers.

The flower stamp is from Punch Bunch set, one of the Sale A Bration offers.

I used the circle scalloped punch.

Thanks for taking time to look at my work.

 Please take time to look at earlier posts.

A pair of Baby cards

I thought I would make a baby boy and a baby girl card.

I used a set I first got when I signed up as a SU demonstrator.

 I have not used this set until today.

When I considered this mini project I could not make my mind up about gender,

so I went ahead and did one of each.

The stamp set used for this card is Fun and Fast Notes.

 Page 40 in the 2010 Idea Book and Catalogue 2011.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Bright and Breezee

This set is another one I bought and never used so today I put it to use.

The base card was Daffodil Delight cardstock, then I added Tangerine Tango on top of the base card  then I wrapped a piece of ribbon around and tied it.

I then cut out a scalloped sqaure in Garden Green I stamped  A Flower For All Seasons on Whisper White and then I punched  out a scalloped sqaure and placed it on top of the Garden Green.

A box card for Valentines Day

A friend of mine showed me how to make this box card. I decided that I would  decorate the template.

 I used SU Love You Much stamp set on page19.

The picture above is of the closed box card. 

The picture depicts the box card open.

Thank you for taking the time to look.

I made this card using some of a gift that was sent to me.

I was sent a gift of crafting goodies from a very lovely lady called Clare, who has a blog called
http://www.myperfectworldofcatscardsandcrafts/  Clare's blog is great so please check it out.

I would like to say thankyou to Clare for your gift it was really kind of you, and i hope you like what I have done with one of the flowers from out the packet.
Today i made this card with a number of other cards that i will post this week, thankyou for taking the time to look it is much appreciated.
Take care

Iwould like to apologise for not updating

Good morning all I would just like to say that I have not been able to do any crafting due to having a bad cold. It has left me gasping for breath so I visited the Dr to be told that I had a chest infection. I was given antibiotics, today is day 5 and I am able to breath a little bit better. So I will be back in my craft room today to make a card or two for my blog. Thanks for taking the time to look.

I made this set for a friends daughters 21st birthday

A friend asked if i could make her daughter something a little different for her 21st. 

I made a card that will fit inside the little handbag.

I made the box to put both the bag and card inside.

I have used this photo on an advertisement for crafting classes / demonstrations.

Went to training yesterday with Jo

Training was in Peterborough and 50 ladies came along lots that I had never met before.

We all took swaps along.

My swap was not a card but a brown environmentally friendly sandwich bag. I thought that anything

 could be stamped on to it, so it could be used for a number of things.

I stamped some with love hearts, flowers, butterflies and baby things. At a cost of  99p for 10 bags

I feel it's great value. I just hope that Home Bargains don't stop getting them now.

The cards I recieved from swapin' are great, so Iwould like to say,to all those ladies that

came along and swapped with me,thankyou for your great ideas.

I would like to say to Monica and Bekka thankyou for holding these days, they are great as they let us meet up with people that we only know through the internet and we learn new things and,

of course, get to swap ideas.

I would just like to say, a great day had by me.

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Luv

Time to check out my clock.

Multi purpose stamp.

This card was made using SU Old Olive cardstock for the base.

I cut a piece of SU Not Quiet Navy to lay on top.

On top of that is SU Whisper White cardstock.

I used stamps from  'Hopeful Thoughts.'

I used SU Old Olive for the tree and SU Riding Hood Red for the flowers.

 Get Well soon words are in SU Not Quite Navy.

Thank you for taking time to look.

Another simple but sweet card

Like i said a quick card using SU So Safron cardstock and SU chocolate chip cardstock.
