Is Spring here??

This is another image from the free decoupage set from Papercraft Essentials.

Again i mounted on Kraft card and kept it simple.

The sentiment was a spare of the moment choice and thinking about it now i would put a mother's day or easter sentiment on it.

Mother's Day cards x 2

You may remember a couple of weeks ago i made 2 Popcorn the bear cards that were identical but slightly different?

Well these 2 cards are for the same lady.

She wanted a card for her mother in law and a card for her mum.

They are for mother's day but when i showed her this morning she asked me to leave them as they are.

 The image was a freebie from a magazine and is coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.

The papers are Dovecraft and Forever Friends.

The ribbons and pearls are from my stash

The butterflies which have Stickles on them are punched from Tonic Studios punch.

The mum balloons are from Fidgety Fingers.

Popcorn the Bear x2!

I have a couple of mother's day cards here today, i know it's early but i have a few orders to get through  :-)

I was asked to make 2 mother's day cards but they need to be the same as they are from the same person but to different recipients.

We decided on Popcorn and Souffle From Crafters Companion. 

  They are coloured with Promarkers.

The flowers are from Dottie 4 Crafts and Wild orchid Crafts and have LOTS of Stickles on them.  

The Fence is a Memory Box die

The butterflies are punched from a Tonic Studios Punch and have been glittered with stickles and have gems and pearls on their bodies.

The papers are both DoveCraft ( i believe) 

The customer was happy with them which of course makes me happy!

Hunkydory Special Moments and Milestones

A friend has asked me to make her a load of mothers day cards and this is the first of them.  I used the Hunkydory Special Moments and Milestones kit.  I fell in love with this kit as soon as i saw it on Create and Craft.

For this card i cut down one of the sheets of cardstock so i had the cute border at the bottom and mounted on silver mirri card.  I found this kit so easy to use and is fab for quick cards!

I enchanced the flowers the teddy is holding with frosted lace stickles and added some pearls and that was it!

I'm Baaaack!

Hi everyone, 

Long time since i last blogged. So where have i been?

Well i stopped making cards for about a year and went onto Jewellery making, but then about 3 weeks ago someone asked me to make her some cards, so i thought OK i will give it a go and see how i feel.  I think i might have my mojo back! (touch wood)

I won't be making them religiously or putting myself under pressure to do them but i will do some for fun and a couple of orders i have.

Entries into challenges are below

Well anyway here are what i made:

First up is an Easter card, made using this Wee Stamps cutie, coloured with promarkers.

The paper is from Forever Friends Spring collection.

Next is a Mother's day card which here in the UK is on Sunday 10th March.

I used one of my favourite companies, Teddy Bo, I'm not too happy with my colouring but it is done using Promarkers.

The papers are Me To You and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Another Easter card here using this sweet image from Grandma Pearls blog ages ago.  Coloured with promarkers .

I'm not sure where the papers are from.

Clean and simple for the next one using this freebie from Stamp Fairy, coloured with promarkers.

And last but not least is this cutie from Di's Digis. Coloured with promarkers.  The paper is Forever Friends (i think) and Boofle (i think)

Well i hope you like my newest cards and it would be great to have some feedback.
