Laura's Birthday Card

Good morning. Firstly I wanted to say thanks to all my ladies who attended the Stamp a Stack last night - I had a brilliant night and it went much smoother than I thought! Who would have thought everyone would leave with 12 cards done in one evening!! I will show the cards over this coming week.

OK so yesterday was my lovely Laura's birthday and I am safe to show her card as I know she has now received it!

Similar to the one I made for Allie, I have used the Newsprint paper and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. This time I have used the Fun Flowers die to make the large flower.

I have also used the Rich Razzleberry ribbon that you get in the free gift bag, only available until 31st August.

I got a bit snap happy with the photos for this one !

Just love that lush ribbon!!!!

Thats me done for now, have to put all last nights class things away!!

Happy Birthday Allie

Yesterday it was my lovely downline Allie's birthday. This is the card I sent her which I hope she received yesterday!!

As you can see I am making the most of the Rich Razzleberry Ribbon that you can get FREE this month with an order of £75 or more, along with the scrummy bag and clips!

I have used the Build A Blossom stamp set which I earned free sometime ago but I have never used it! I have to say the punch was still in the wrapper too!! So I dusted it off to make this card - hope you like it!!

I used some Newsprint papers which again I haven't used for a while and also the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder which is still my favourite one!!

Hope you had a lovely day Allie and got lots of handmade cards!!!

Back tomorrow with another project!

When is an Owl not an Owl???

When its a Penguin, a Reindeer and a Monster!!!!

Last night we had our Tuesday Club. It was a bit hard work for me as I had to take Ross and Evan with me as Robin was away last night. Although they were well behaved its just hard work, I am sure those of you who are parents will understand. So thank you to my lovely ladies for bearing with me!!!!

So we made 3 cards using the Owl for different purposes, other than an owl. I am sure you will have seen lots of cards on the internet of clever ways of using this punch. I will show you 3, all of which I found online!

The first card is a penguin card which I CASED from Teneale Williams - I love her work. I love these Sweet and Sour papers, they were perfect for a bright funky card!

Isnt is annoying when you finish your card and then you do a big smudge on the inside!!! Yes it happens to me too!!

I love adding bunting with the edge of the star punch!

Next up was the easiest card of the evening. Mr Reindeer!!

Papers are Jolly Holiday and the sentiment is from Perfect Punches.

And finally a cute monster card!!

I love the little green monster inside, reminds me of Mike Wazowski from my favourite kids film Monsters Inc (put that thing back where it came from or so help me!!!!)

Papers on this card were from the Celebrations set

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and I will be back tomorrow

A First for Tuesday Club!

Who turned off the sun???

Brrrr I am a bit chilly this morning but in high spirits as our Tuesday card club starts a new adventure this evening as we are moving to the church and no longer in the conservatoire! Whilst it is a but sad I am really pleased that the group has grown so that we have to move!!!

Tonights theme is all about Weddings and Anniversaries!!!

And here are the projects!

This one uses the Wedding Wheels and Baroque Motifs stamp set to create a background

This is one I showed you a few days ago

And I think this is my favourite! I made a dress from the Scallop Circle die

I hope it goes well tonight, I am already packed and raring to go!!

See you tomorrow

Motorbike Birthday

OUCH - I ache so much from all the gardening yesterday but we did a good job, all the conifers got hacked to bits and I think we must have filled at least 16 bags for the tip!! I was on bagging and sweeping duty and my legs and back are very tender today!!! For those of you who know my garden we also finally got rid of the Wendy House too!!!!!! Still got the broken fence to mend yet though!!!!!!!

So todays offering is a male card with the fabulous motorbike stamp! This has been a very popular purchase for my customers so far this month, a great stamp to own for only £7.95.

The items used on this card were from a kit left over from one of my card classes.

I love the linen thread, it is so useful for lots of things!

I even stamped the image inside the card too!!

Well after todays gardening efforts I am rewarding myself with a full day of crafting!! I have the day all to myself as Evan has gone to the caravan with my Mum and Dad and Ross and Robin are going cricketing!! Don't think I have had a Saturday to myself since before the children were born!! Going dancing tonight with my lovely lovely dance friends too!!

See you tomorrow!
