Happy Birthday Niece!

Hi Guys

This card is for my niece Nancy who will be 7 years old on Monday.  She is a little cutie and very much a girlie girl so I went for Pretty In Pink for her main colour and thought she might like it personalised too!

I've used the Heat & Stick powder with Dazzling Diamonds and then my Big Shot to cut out the letters.  I really like how it turned out and hope she will too.

Party Party Party!

Hi Guys

It is the loveliest morning and I am sitting with a cup of coffee & updating my blog AND I have a couple of hours set aside this morning for crafting as I have been asked to do a couple of cards for friends and I also need to do some for me, does life get any better? Probably not ;o)

This one I did quickly for a childs birthday.  I popped it together during the Wednesday card class and because the girls were embossing I did the same.  I have stamped the balloons in Versamark then Inked them up and used clear embossing powder.  This means the ink matches the cardstock exactly which is always great.

The owl punch is perfect here as a party goer looking for directions - I love it!

A close up of the balloons.

To make this card:

Card - Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise

Ink - Versamark, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Basic Black

Tools - Heat Tool, Embossing Powder (Clear), Owl Punch

Embellishments - Twine

Hope you like it

See you soon

Make A Monster!

Hi Guys

I cant believe its Tuesday night already, not quite sure where the last two days have gone but at least I'm getting to update my blog having gotten a little behind with myself.  Have just finished making the card packs for my class tomorrow which is normally a great laugh so am looking forward to that.

This card was one for a little girl in Conals class but I wasn't sure beforehand whether she was turning 5 or 6 so thought I'd better leave it rather than get it wrong.  This little girl isn't especially girly so thought this fitted the bill quite well.  I saw Julie Kettlewell do this with the little monsters, punch them with a circle then layer on top of the large oval and thought it looked excellent - thanks Julie!

To make this card:
Card - Whisper White, Night of Navy, Real Red
Stamps - Party This Way, Make A Monster
Papers - DSP
Ink - Night of Navy marker, Real Red Marker, Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise
Tools - 1 3/4 circle punch, Extra Large Oval punch
