Happy 30th!

Good morning!

Well what a horrid, windy, wet morning it is here in Bolton! So here is a pretty, spring like card to lift your spirits!

I have used the gorgeous free (yes...free!) Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack, layered onto Wisteria Wonder card to show off that lovely pattern. How do you get it free?? Well, see the end of my post and I'll tell you :)

The glittery numbers are created using Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the fab, and very popular, Large Number Framelits. I added the pretty flower die cut and built from the Botanical Builder Framelits. The large flower is just the same size as the one in the pattern on the vellum too! 

So how do you get the vellum stack free? Well quite simply, for every £45 you spend with me, you can choose any one of the Sale-A-Bration items, including this stunning vellum, for free! So if you spend £90 you can have 2 free items, etc! 

You can browse the catalogues by clicking the links over there on the right>>>>>>>>

Thanks for popping by today and I hope you get to make the most of this rubbish weather (by hiding in your craft room and crafting!!)

MDS meets Papillon Potpourri

Good morning!

I would like to give a big hello to my newest follower, Sid! Thank you for joining me on my crafty journey! 

I have a lovely day planned today...I am working til 2pm then I have my friend Laura's wedding to go to, and I even have a plus one! ;)

But before all that, it's time for our new sketch at Sketch Saturday, and this week it has been designed by Laura...

So I used this sketch to make another commission card...

I also used my 'go to' girly papers from Twitterpated (available on MDS), and butterflies from Papillon Potpourri.

I printed the sentiment in MDS and embossed the panel with the Beautiful Baroque EF. I finished with die cut numbers from a retired die.

Right...off to work now...have a wonderful Saturday!

Cheers!

Good morning sketch fans!
We have a fabulous sketch from Cathy this week at Sketch Saturday...



As I so often do, I used this sketch for a commission I had to do...funnily enough, for a Cathy!

This is an 8x8in card and I used the ever popular Happy Hour stamp set. I coloured the stamps with my Stampin' Write Markers before I stamped them and cut them out.

The sentiment was printed onto some Whisper White card and I cut it our with my Labels Collection Framelits. 

The DSP is so old retired I had in my stash, but you can download it from MDS...this is from the Brights collection.

What are you going to create this week?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Flowers and Butterflies!

Hello everyone!

How is your weekend going? I have another stall today at the Oasis Academy at MediaCity UK...I'm sure I booked an outside stall so I hope the weather improves a bit!

So today's card is another commission...told you I've been busy!

I used mostly retired stock for this one, mainly because I love it all! Those gorgeous Papillon Potpourri butterflies are still current though, as is the matching punch.

I created the sentiment on MDS, which meant I could get matching coloured text. The beautiful Twitterpated paper I have used here is also available on MDS...how awesome is that?! I finished with some super sparkly Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I used the sketch at Mojo Monday for my inspiration...

Well, off I go...I hope you have a lovely day!

Last Minute Masks

Hello! It's almost the weekend...yay!

Are you going to any parties this weekend? Maybe a masquerade party? No? Oh well neither am I but I do have a card I was commissioned to make for someone who did have a masquerade ball for her 30th birthday last week!

I found these fabby masks, Last Minute Masks, on the My Digital Studio download page. I added them to my blank page, changed the colours, printed and there you go! I stamped and heat embossed the black one with Flowering Flourishes to give a lovely pattern and added some gems and feathers.

I sprayed the pink one with Silver Glimmer Spray and added lots of nail art gems from my stash and a feather.

I used Silver Glimmer Paper and some retired DSP for the background. The sticks for the masks are cocktail sticks wrapped with ribbon.

This card was one of those that I knew exactly what I was going to do as soon as I was asked and I thoroughly enjoyed making it! 

Thanks for visiting! 

Tri-Fold 30th Birthday

Good evening!

Well I broke my pledge to be here more didn't I? :( I am sorry. I have been busy, and somewhat under the weather again...I just don't seem to have completely got over the cold I saw the New Year in with! It keeps mutating into another type of cold! Oh well, for now I feel up to crafting, so here is a quick card I made today.

It's using up some more of my random stash!

I have used another set of the numbers from Ribbonbox and simply attached all the elements to this tri-fold card blank...that simple! The card blank is one Jen gave me months ago!
