I used  the  Yvonne Creations ABC Die on a 8 x 8 square box ,  together with the Organza ribbon. When I received his first photo I added it to the middle of the abc die ,adding a frame to the photo using Craft Artist.

                                      Just Cutz Circular Dies. Spellbinders Floral ovals and Classic ovals

                                      oddments of dies and handcut into shapes of balloons.
                                        The lovely Rocking Horse Die is from Tonic Studio.ribbons pearls

                       Distressed Card.    I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this card and Lovely as Tree

 Graduation Card     I made this card for a friends Grandson. I used Black  Matt  and gold Mirri card . The gold tassel was from my stash.    

I printed the  image on to the insert and faded it out,then

 printed the verse over the top of the image.

 

My first Christmas Cards for 2017                                                                               
I thought I would try using my distress inks and the Lovely as Tree Stamp from Stampin Up. The layers were cut  using the Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities,Grand Large Labels dies. A punch was used for the moon and I tore the clouds  from a post it note.,to use as masks. Distress ink Stormy sky  was used for the sky  and  Hickory Smoke for the trees. Added the flowers and Sentiment.

The second card was cut using the same layers , just  adding the moon.

Distress inks used were Squeezed Lemon and Dried Marigold. ,the trees stamped

 using  Brush Corduroy.I did second generation stamping on each card.

I love the Lovely as a tree stamps,there is so much you can do with them.

Good Morning  everyone,  not a vey nice morning today, rain,, rain ,rain.,it's so dull. Today I am adding two cards I have made using the 3-2-1 embossing folder,it's so pretty and can be used for all occasions.


All Occasion 3-2-1 Cards                                                                                                              
The first card is white,just using the embossing folder, adding the flowers and  diamante and the sentiment.


I inked the second one with my brayer, using Pumice Stone Distress Ink., but the ink just seemed not to go on as smooth as I wanted it too. I was going to throw it away,but on reflection thought it would make a lovely vintage card. 

I added the flowers,butterfly and the diamante . I'm now quite happy with the finished result. 
Vintage !

I enjoyed making this card, I watched Sheena Douglas  making the faux leather background with glycerine and water on to  Kraft Card, I then distressed it and ran it through an embossing folder. The metal corners were added together with the hessian ,owl and  sentiment.

I used the  Sheena Douglas stamped image and water coloured the picture,

, adding the Lovely as tree stamp SU stamps on the other page.

A selection of men's cards I made.,  I like to make a few in hand,in case anyone  asks for a card at the last minute. These were quick and easy to make.

Good afternoon everyone, this card is made using LaPashe images.   

It is for a friend, I only hope he finds it funny.

I used peel offs to make this card a while ago  and

coloured them with Promarkers

I made this card using papers and vellum

from my stash

I made this card for a friend who wasn't feeling too well, I wanted something to make him smile,he's a golfer

It took me a while to find the verses  and the right words

The photo and flower images are from when we visited the  Botanical Gardens.

This is a commisioned card for Fathers Day, for a stepfather  which I thought was a lovely idea.

All the papers etc are from my stash.

Good afternoon everyone, it's a lovely day today, this is a  card using the  Creative expression Dies by Sue Wilson Necessities - Apron 12 pieces.

The top of the card is mounted on a patterned mirri card, the border  background paper

 I found on the web. I used paper for the apron from my stash (which never seems to go down).

The baking tools I cut from white card,  a silver ink pad to colour  was used fr the knives,forks etc. The rolling pin was distressed while still in the die.

Kaleidoscope Kreator Card
I made this card a while ago using the programme on my XP computer, I haven't  tried to use it in windows 10, I'm not sure if it will work., but will give it a try.

This is the picture I used for the card, and the results after taking it into the Kaleidascope Kreator Programme.  Something a little different. It is an 8 x 8 card. 

Christmas on the Beach
I thought I would send  some friends a Christmas Card reminding them I was holidaying in the Sunshine. (Really trying to make them a little bit envious.)

The card was made using  Craft Artist, Image from the internet, flowers etc from a Daisy Trail Digi Kit.

Christmas Cards 2016
I made two cards using Serif Craft Artist. I find it is now best and cheaper to send flat cards,with no embellishments  to send abroad.
Christmas Tree

 I bought the card and envelopes from a craft show, the Christmas tree fitted well into the shape of the card. I found the image on the web. I  took the image and  the Merry Christmas Sentiment (which was from a Digi kit) into Craft Artist, and printed it directly onto the card. I used a Glue pen to go over the tree and then added the gold glitter. A quick and easy card to make.

                                                       I love this Santa Chrismtas Card

Using  Craft Artist  I added the  frames to my 6 x 6 card.,   I added the Santa picture,  Happy Christmas Sentiment was from a Digi kit. I added red glitter to the berries on the holly. Quick and easy to make.Quite enjoying using Craft Artist., and the Digi kits from Daisy Trail.

Good Morning everyone, spring is here, lovely to see the Daffodils, Crocus, and Primulas out in the garden.  I haven't uploaded for a while, as I have been away and had lots to catch up on. Today I have a few cards, the first is a Thinking of You card .... done in two different colours
Pink

                                                                         
                                                                          Blue

I made both cards using  the Honey Doo  Stamps called Flower Power ,it has the flourish flower and leaves in the collection. I first stamped the flourish directly on to the card and silver embossed it. The flowers and leaves I stamped onto Vellum, ,embossing them with the silver embossing powder and colouring  with my Pergamano Dorso Colours. I layered the card with a matt silver card adding the corner embellishments.
