A card for my niece.

Had a lovely day today with Leon. he is really coming on now and is getting quite a little character. He is up on his feet more than crawling now so it won't be long until he's walking!!

Here is my card for today. This is for my husband's niece who will be 5 next month. The papers are glittered and from Fuzzy Moon collection. Backing card is bazzill bling. Ribbon from my stash. The greeting is from Craftwork Cards. The image is from paper nation decoupage. The flower is from The Works.

Mother's Day Cards

I don't like Mother's day as I always think of my dear Mum who is no longer here but I do have a Mother in law that I have to make for and here is the card that I have made.

The card blank was from Kanban, a special offer that C&C had over Christmas. the backing paper is from Kay & Company. The decoupage flowers are from my topper box. It is mounted on card that has been cut with nesties. The braiding is from my stash and the greeting (although you can't really see it in the picture) is from Craftwork Cards.

Now on to March Birthdays's

Well I am now onto March's birthday's so I am doing well.

I have used a decoupage flower here from Imag-e-nation that I bought years ago and made up years ago. The backing paper is from Kay & Company, the pad that I got from Doncaster last year. The blue card, ribbon, bow and gems are all from my stash. The greeting is a stamp from Lily of the Valley.

Trying to get ahead of myself!

I am trying to get ahead of myself and make all the birthday and anniversary cards that I need to make for this year. Whether it will happen or not is another matter but here are the first 2. Still using my stash up. :-)

This card is using a decoupage topper that I had. Designer paper is from Stampin up (I think!). Can't remember where I got the decoupage sheet from. Card is Bazzill Bling and buttons are from my stash. The greeting is from Craftwork Cards.

This is a Kanban wobbler. These are so easy to do and great for kids birthdays. This is for my son's partner's daughter - my soon to be step granddaughter I suppose :-) who is 5 next week.

I love this sketch...

I got the stuff for this card from Greta as she had a spare pack. I love the colour ways of this and I have done the card a bit different to the previous one. All I added to it was the think green ribbon from my stash and the greeting which I think came from a pack I bought from Craftwork Cards.

Missing card from the Glitterpot class

Remember my earlier post about the recent class I took at the Glitterpot and I took a naff picture of one of the cards. Well here it is, better picture this time..

The stamp used is Musical Print from Hobby Art. Stamped onto white card and then distressed using Tim Holtz distress ink. The violin was decoupaged, stamped onto sticky acetate and covered in gold flecks. (well I can't remember exactly what the stuff is called but that's near enough!) Another card that i really liked and may do again.

Greta's playday 14th Feb 2012

On Tuesday, Greta invited us to her place for a play day. There was 6 of us in total including Greta and we had a great day. It was a good day of laughs, chat, drinking tea, eating a lovely lunch and oh yeah a bit of card making :-).

Greta had 2 projects for us and Debs and Elaine both brought projects for us to do also. Here are the cards that I made.

This is a C6 card. Blue backing paper was stuck onto gold mirri card. The topper was from a kit and when you pull the tab it shows another picture. Took some thinking on how to get it to work but got there in the end. A bit of ribbon and card candy was added to finish it off.

I love the colours of this card and Greta sorted it just for me cause I have a thing about blue. The flowers are beautiful and I definitely need to get me some of the big flowers. :-). The backing papers are also gorgeous. The card was done from a sketch, I just added the squares and rectangles in a different way. Ribbon and card candy were added to finish it off. I may add a greeting at a later date.

This is a large 8 x 8 card. I know it's a Christmas one but you can never be too early to start them!! Black and green card were matted onto the card. The patterned paper is actually a serviette wrapped around card to strengthen it. 2 of the poinsettias are decoupaged. They were cut out of another serviette and stuck on acetate to strengthen them. A piece of ribbon was wrapped round. The greeting was stamped and cut using nesties. A beautiful card, easy to do but very elegant.

This is Elaine's card. She had cut out all the layers for us and stamped the image. I coloured the image using promarkers. Elaine had used flower soft for the grass but I have just coloured it. The writing was freehand. Pleased with how it turned out!
