Hi everybody.  Thank you for taking the time to look in and for all the lovely comments that you leave.  They are so very much appreciated.  My card today is one that I made about a month ago for my stock box but I never got around to posting it on here.  My neighbour has just purchased it for her son's partner so I thought I would show it before I gave it to her.  When she saw it I did not have a box made for it but now it is ready to go.

I used a matt hammered card for a change and layered it with a Marianne cut and emboss folder - my usual ribbon and flowers .  The tiny flowers I made from a small tonic punch which came free with a magazine years ago.

                                           

Hope you all have a lovely Easter.

Hi  everybody and a very warm welcome to my new followers - thank you for adding your name to my little blog.  I do appreciate that so many take the time to look in and leave a comment.  I can now show this card as my friend has now received it.  I made this for my friend Rita and her husband Bill who last week celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  Rita herself is a very talented card maker so no pressure there!!

                                   

The card is cut with spellbinder dies and the heart is the memory box La Rue heart.  My usual ribbon and some flowers which were a gift from my friend Jacqui - thank you Jacqui.

Hi everybody.  It has been a very long time since my last post - I have been making a few cards when my commitments allow but did not get around to posting them.  Firstly I want to say Welcome to my new followers and thank you to all my followers for your lovely comments.

My card today was requested by my neighbour for her friend and I am glad to say that she was very pleased with it.  I saw the idea on Pinterest from the desk of Debbie Steven - paperpastimes.  Her cards are simply beautiful.  I treated myself to the Spellbinders Grand Squares and they have made life so much easier.  The roses I rolled myself from a Marianne die.

                                 

                                                   

Thank you for taking a look.

Tapestry

Hi everybody and a very warm welcome to my new followers.  I want to say Thank You to all the lovely people who regularly leave such nice comments. It is very encouraging.  My card today is from an idea and a beautiful card by the marvellous Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.  The card shape is cut from a Go Kreate die and the die cut in the centre of the card is Spellbinders Tapestry die.  Flowers from Wild Orchid and ribbon and pearls from stash.

Thank you for taking a look.

                                                 

                                         

                                                 

Something simple

Hi everybody.  Hope you all have been enjoying this fabulous weather.  I have made a card today that was a special request.  A lady asked for a card for her daughter who is going to graduate in November but did not want the traditional  cap and gown type of card and requested that the card be done in black and white.  I kept the card quite simple and the lady is delighted with the result.  I have simply used a Marianne embossing folder and some Spellbinder dies.  The little butterfly which I use so very often is a punch and was one of my first crafting purchases.  Thank you for taking a look.


                                 

In between age

Hi everybody and thank you for all the wonderful comments on my last card.  The card I have today is for Gerry's grand daughter who is in her early teens - too old for a childish card and too young for an adult card - so since she is now taking an interest in clothes and makeup and hairstyles I thought that one of the fabulous shoes would appeal to her.  I have used kraft card for a change after seeing how good it looks on Jacqui's cards  (http://jacquibourne7.blogspot.co.uk/) and also used some paper from Pink Petticoat , the dies are spellbinders and the base card is from craft creations.  Thank you for taking a look.

                                         

Bling it on.....

Good morning everybody.  Hope you all are enjoying this fabulous weather.  My card today was a commission for a 50th wedding anniversary.  I decided to stay away from the traditional gold as I knew that all the cards the couple would receive would be gold themed.  I am happy to say that the customer was totally delighted with the result.  The card shape is a die from Go Kreate and the embossing folder is Tied  Together.  As always I have used Centura Pearl card and pearls and roses from Wild Orchid.

Thank you for taking the time to look in today.
