Mother's Day card

Good evening Lovelies! What a beautiful day today! Hope your all getting some nicer weather?

Tonight's card is another card inspired by Pinterest, 8x8 card base, I used Papermill Direct Linen texture card for the topper, matted onto red card also PD, I die cut a butterfly and used the waste as a stencil and used DI through it, I stamped the butterfly with a swirly stamp and used the DI to colour it, the flower/weed stamp is from Indigoblu, Mum is Do-crafts I think? And the sentiment is from Creative Expressions, I love this sentiment! This card took me 10 minutes max! Thank you for visiting xxx

My Daughters Birthday card

Hello Lovelies! Well I don't know about yours, but our weather here this afternoon is gorgeous, blue sky the sun is shining :) it was raining this morning though!

So here's my card I've made for my Daughter's birthday which is 3rd March she will be 29, oh my that makes me feel old :/ she lives in Canada so I needed to get this made so I can get it there on time!

Anyway onto my card, she likes things pretty simple and I saw a very similar one on Pinterest which inspired me! I knew this would be for Ashley as soon as I saw it! 8x8 I used Distress Stains on Linen texture paper from Papermill Direct, the flower/weed lol is Indigoblu, the sentiment is Creative Expressions and the Daughter is from stash not sure of the brand? Matted onto black card also from Papermill Direct.

Thank you for visiting, I really do appreciate the comments good or bad xxx

Twins card

Good evening Lovelies! Welcome to my new followers, I hope your all well and managing to keep warm?

Tonight I was asked by my hubby to make a card for a work colleague who's wife has given birth to twins, one of each! He wanted it big enough for them all to sign, so I've made it A4!

I used Centura Pearl card base, then a layer of white paper which I pierced all the way around the edge then another layer of CP which I cut and embossed the bottom piece with M-Bossability folder, the feet stamp is from Hobbycraft £1, bargain! I stamped using Perfect Medium then swiped over with Pan Pastels, the Congrats stamp I heat Embossed, I can't remember where it's from, added ribbon, bling and buttons, voila! Hope you like it? Hubby was pleased so that's good! Thank you very much for visiting, I really appreciate your comments xxx

Zoe Challenge #2 "Love is in the air"

Good morning Lovelies! I can't believe we are in February already! Roll on the spring!

I'm on me jolly's at the moment and hoping this has posted on time, I scheduled it before I went so fingers crossed? I'm in Malaysia!

 

So onto my post! Here are my samples for Show us your Twinchies

My first is Centura pearl card, I used adirondack pink sherbet ink through a heart and swirl mask by Splodgaway, the stamp is a freebie from a mag!

 

My second is Linen card, I stamped with Versamark using a Stamp-em-up stamp set I swiped over with pan pastels, I used the 2 smallest heart Dies and decoupaged them for some dimension! I also lightly inked all the edges with Black soot DI!

And finally, I embossed card with EF sorry I don't know the make? Added a feather and bobby dazzler! Simples! I hope I have inspired you enough to join in this month? Please pop along and check out all the other samples from our superb DT! Thank you visiting today xxx

Good Morning Lovelies!

Well I'm enjoying my holiday, I have wifi in my room so it's great I can keep in touch, there isn't a lot to do here other than sunbathe swim and chill, which is exactly what I need right now, I'm waking early as the jetlag is still very present that's the problem being 8 hours ahead, so my early waking is when I catch up with my blog etc!

My card I made for a friend for her boyfriend for Valentines day, she asked for lips as he calls her "sugar lips" lol I had to chuckle to myself when she told me, so here's what I came up with!

I embossed with the card suits mask by SplodgeAway then whilst still in situ I spritzed with Dylusions ink sprays black and red! Die cut the hearts, the lips are from a set by a famous American crafter, i cant for the life of me remember her name? not Martha Stuart though! a lovely Facebook friend Karen Willis very kindly lent them to me, the sentiment is from my stash.

I'm entering this card into visibleimagechallenge

Zoe February Challenge "One for the men"

Good morning Lovelies! My second DT post for today, this time Cards Galore the theme this month is "One for the men"

I have scheduled this post as I'm away in Malaysia on my holidays so I hope it's posted on time? I haven't had a holiday for nearly 2 years so I'm certainly ready for it! We've had a pretty tough time lately as our little foster girl moved onto adoption on 17th jan after 22 months with us! Hopefully I will return home refreshed and ready to give my heart away to another needy baby?

So onto my card, 8x8, I started with Kraft card, which I used a SplodgeAway mask of cogs and sprayed with lime green and blue Dylusions spray inks, then I stamped all over with black soot DI a script background stamp, I embossed the metal floor mask also from SplodgeAway then swiped over with green Distress stain, the next layer is again DI in green and stamped with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps, the topper is a free stamp set that came with a mag, which again I inked with green, blobbed some water and blotted to create some interest then stamped and inked in black soot DI, I added a few little highlights using a white gel pen!

Thank you for visiting, I hope you join in this month, we had amazing response last month and we are very grateful to everyone who entered, what a fabulous start to 2013!

Zoe Challenge #8 "A sprinkling of red and romance"

Good Morning Lovelies! Well I don't know about you? But I'm glad January is over! It's been a roller coaster month for me, my little foster girl moved onto adoption on the 17th after being with us for 22 months, so it's been a very sad time for us! A good thing for her, but the loss we are suffering is awful! It get's better with time!

Anyway hopefully this has posted on time? I've scheduled it as we are away on our holidays in Malaysia for 16 days?

 

The sentiment is Creative Expressions which I stamped and masked then stamped over with a background stamp by Justrite onto the heart Id cut out of the apeture, the aperture was cut first then I embossed with an 8x8 EF by Crafters Companion, it's not terribly clear in the photo but my first layer I pierced around the edges, the roses and leaves are cut from felt!

Thank you for visiting, I hope you can join in: The Cupboard Trilogy
