My Neice has Arrived

She's So gorgeous, arrived 9 days late at 2.30am! I am a Very Proud Auntie Christine!!!!

and here is that card i have made for her,

I used a light pink card for the backing from my stash, cut out the scalloped circle on my NEW cuttlebug :) and punched the lace border with my Fiskars lace punch. I added some pink gingham ribbon and a little Creative Charms safety pin.

the diamantes came with a Forever Friends kit but i think they work really well with these colour and image. The stamped image is Ellie bought from Stamposaurus and coloured with Promarkers. the sentiment is a rub on that i think i purchased from Poundland :)

I'm Really Happy with it.

Wedding Time

I was invited to a Colleague's evening wedding reception and a few weeks ago I bought a wedding card just in case i didn't get time to make one, but the more i looked at it the more i decided i didn't really like it, so i set to and made one.

I covered a Plain Square card with Pearlecent paper, cut out two sizes of shapes, one in the pearlecent paper and one in glitter paper, stuck them all together as you can see and added the decoupage F.F couple. added a organza ribbon from my stash, used the silver sentiment that came in a F.F kit and added 3 adhesive pearls.

I'm really pleased with it! x

First Christmas Card of the Year!!!!!

My first Christmas card of the year.

For the First Christmas card of the year, I fancied being a bit untraditional so rather that red and green I went for a Pink and Purple twist!

I stamped the Forever Friends Image using Staz on Black ink, coloured with watercolours and layered onto a purple "snow" paper I Had in the stash, that was then mounted onto a pearlecent paper and then mounted again onto the snowy paper. the snowflake charm is a from Creative Charms and the greeting is stick on.

I Now have a Cuttlebug!!!

When I first started to make cards I didnt want to buy a Die cutting machine just incase I didnt enjoy making the cards, but I feel it has been enough time now and I was starting to feel restricted with shapes so I took myself to my local craft shop, asked for advice between the Big Shot and the Cuttlebug and I came away with the Cuttlebug! and i'm so pleased with it!

just a few cards i have made using the Nestabilities dies.
