More Christmas cards

Good afternoon everyone, I am here once again to show you more Christmas cards I have made.       Simple ones again but I do like simple ;) Handy tip! if your vellum looks creased  after you stick it down, pass it through your  machine. I used my A4 'Happy Cuts' and it  came out fine!       On the first one, my printer was playing up and the paper printed in lilac shading to grey. I quite like the effect though so used it anyway. I embossed some of the sentiments using  a 'snowy' folder.        

Pink Petticoat 'Pretty Flakes' digi paper, DSB sentiment      

Similar card but all grey this time, same digi paper and sentiment        

Same digi paper in pink this time and a Clearly Besotted sentiment        

Same paper and same sentiment but on vellum this time and heat embossed          

Same paper and vellum but heat embossed in blue this time

Similar to above card        

Hoppy 70th !

Good afternoon all, hope you are enjoying your weekend ;)   We were babysitting yesterday so I had to wait until today to make my latest  "Less is More" card. The theme this week is......     NUMBERS     My mojo seems to be missing today, I have searched and searched but no luck!     After a while here's what I came up with, hmmm.....I may make another !!! 

ps.  A very big welcome to my latest follower also, welcome aboard and thanks for  following me ;)

Good afternoon friends, just popping by to show you more card and bag sets I have been making.     This is the cool aqua set, I love this colour, hope you all approve too.

I used 120gsm paper for the bag and Linen  card for the tag/roses. The tag looks a slightly different colour here but irl there is  little difference.       The rolled roses were made using a  Die-namics die.

Two cards

A matching set, again the card and bag are  almost the same colour......but not here for some reason!

Two cards and bags all finished

Blossom card,tag and bag

Good afternoon friends, brrr it's a bit chilly here today. Autumn is well and truly here I think.

I have a few photo's to share with you.  I made a few cards and matching bags and  also a bottle  tag. This is the pink set,  I will show you the Cool Aqua set  in another post.

I just fancied making a few bags for my SIL's & a friend with a matching  card. As we are visiting them soon, I  thought it would be a nice surprise. 

I will either fill the bags with some yummy chocolates or bake some cookies. I may add a pair of earrings if I can find the time to make some. They do seem to LOVE my earrings  lol!

I have some clear acetate to wrap them ( the cookies/chocs) in. I will add a  matching ribbon too. Then pop it all  in one of the bags. The wine of course and maybe a nice bouquet of flowers  too ;)


The bags were a bit of a faff to make, but after a couple of trial runs I just went for it with proper card! Lots of  tutorials out there so I won't add a link.        

    I used thick paper on the next bags  but  card for this one.Anyway come and have   a closer peek at them all......

Here they are all together ;)

Technology cards

Good afternoon friends, the sun is shining and it's a lovely warm day here today. I hope you all have good weather too.     I have another 'Less is More' card to share with you today.......infact I have  three !!!

The theme this week is.........      Technology 
  I thought this would prove to be a very difficult type of card to make  but infact it was very easy.      Don't you just love  it when  that happens ;) I used some Pink  Petticoat digi papers, a new set of  dies (Die-Namics) I have just aquired  and a little inspiration from the web.

So technology helped me make these if you think about it ! Anyway come and have a closer look.    
Enjoy your weekend whatever  you have planned ;)  

This is me I think lol !

Flamingo card

Good morning friends, it's a lovely warm and sunny day here today. I hope you all have it too.     Late with my Saturday 'Less is More' card as our son asked us to join them for a nice pub lunch and walk yesterday.Their  baby is  due any minute of course.      My DIL looks  amazing too. I suggested  names which they liked, no decision yet  though ;) Next Friday is the day she will arrive , unless it happens naturally before  then. She is breech atm. too still.       Such a  lovely day, anyway I have made my  card at  last! It's a colour challenge this  week and....     SUNSET     Of course sunset said pink to me lol. Well it would of course and everyone who knows  me won't be at all suprised !       I went for an Ombre look, pale shades of the  setting sun....well that's what it said to me anyway.        I wanted a watercolour look to my flamingo and tried my new Zig Clean color real brush pens. (HAD to get those when I saw them whilst blog hopping).....yes I know not easy on  the purse this blog hopping is it!!!       After much effort ( several coloured images) and  trying various mediums I  relented and had to use  my trusty Copic pens. The printed image didn't  like watercolour of  course.        Loving the new pens though so you will be seeing  more of them very soon. Sooo hard to open though,  my poor nails haven't  recovered yet...and I have  only opened 3 so far!!     Enough waffling from me again,come and have a  closer look ;) here is my card....

Good afternoon friends, the sun is peeping through here at last, hope you have it too !     It's Saturday again, they rush by so quickly don't they ? I have another 'Less is More' card to share with you  today.     This time it's......     'MOSTLY WORDS'       Going for a suble green card today, hope you like the  ombre effect.       ps. Been so busy sorting 'stuff ' in the house to either  go to auction or to charity this week.    Amazing how much 'stuff' you accumulate over the  years isn't it. Anyway most of it is going as we are  hoping to move house next year as I think you know.     I started on my craft room also.....gulp.....how did I  get such a lot of 'stuff'.....well you all know the answer  to that one I'm sure lol!     It's looking tidier  already and I even found enough  room to make a card !.........happy days ;) Enjoy your week everyone !

Baby Elephant Get well card

Good afternoon friends/bloggers a rather wet day here grrr. As it's Saturday once more I have another 'Less is More' card to show you today.    It's one layer card week again, and the theme this  time is....................... Get Well Soon Not quite as terrified making a one layer card these days  thank heavens. Thanks C&J for quite an easy theme this week also ! Here is what I came up with, grab a hot drink & come  and take a closer look :)      I will try and leave my ramblings to the end of the post now  as  I know lots of you just want to see the card !!!!      I am the same when short on time, but I do like to read what  you all have to say when I have more time !...oops  rambling here sorry!.....there are photo's too to see :)      

      PP 'baby elephant' ( old image) ,chalking/Promarkers and  computerized  sentiment. I used a touch of glamour dust  as always too.      I have made another card but it's being 'flattened'  atm. due to inking and warping lol....I got covered  in ink making that one too. I will show it soon.     ps. Got new glasses at last! I went for varifocals this time. Lots of squinting and close up peering when I go to the  supermarker as I hate having to keep looking for my  reading  glasses lol.      I think hearing " For goodness sake  ( or other similar words)  mother put your glasses on" from my children and OH made  me realise I should be wearing  them full time lol.      I am  pleased to report I just love them, & took to them straight  away. I know you either love them or hate them when you  try them at first. I chose blue ones to go with my eyes, just a rim  at the top and clear at the bottom. Ahem and no you aren't going  to see a pic of me with them on !     Although now I can see even more things which need  cleaning in the house and can see DIY bits which still need  doing too.....oh dear.       OH says a divorce might be pending now I can see  more lol....it so made me laugh that....who is he kidding ! Our daughter has been at the Goodwood revival with friends and as usual  ( they are always dressing up in  strange  outfits when they get a chance) they got dressed up fifties style.       Here are a few pics of what she looked like. I made a couple into  digi pages ( can't stop making digi stuff now either !) so will  include those too. Notice the errrr PINK phone  box........now who do you think she takes after lol.

Few more cards

Hi again, just another quick post today, one card and few 'mistakes'.  The first is for my niece's one year old, where did that year go??  ...anyway glad to report she is now expecting baby number two.  Very exciting for us all :) I made this  quick card using a Pink  Petticoat digi image. Don't look too hard at the colouring please.  I had mean't to add glitter to the dress but  then  forgot, so had  to recolour it again,.... didn't take a new pic of course.The hair didn't  turn out great either ! The last two were an idea I had but it didn't  quite work out. Thought I would just show you anyway, after the  second card I lost interest in doing another lol. In the first one  I blurred the stamping,then added trees which didn't look right.  In the second one I did the same again grrrr, gave up after that !  I did like the shape though so just showing you anyway :) Hope  you all have this lovely sun today.I didn't sleep well again  so now off to bathe in a few rays! Take care my  friends.

Silver brocade card

Just popping by to show you another card today. Made  this one a while ago also. Pink Petticoat  digi papers again  ( Brocade), I think this one was in silver.Sentiment was also PP I think. Feeling a bit better, but now got a chesty cough,  so not much sleep again grrr. Managed to make a card yesterday, though it took me most of the day.Lots of handmade flowers and not  my usual CAS style is all I will say. It was one I had been  wanting to do for ages, ( you know when it goes round and  round in your head lol ). Quite pleased with it though, I will  show you when I get through a few others I have made recently. Stay well everyone, so many virus's going around just now.
