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

Easter cards

Hello there playmates, today I have a few Easter cards to share with you. I didn''t make many this year and they were all very similar.       I want to make so many cards, I know I  have a few going around in my head right now. Alas my craft room sorting had to come first.       I am slowly getting there now too yipee! Lots of bags have gone to my friend to  recycle to worthy groups . A few bin bags of rubbish  have been filled also.


Anyway come and have a closer look at my Easter cards.I wish you all a very Happy Easter too ;) xx

Baby cards

Hi friends, just another quick post again. I should be leaving comments for you all, I will do as  soon as I have finished this post.         We have a dusting of snow today, hope it goes quickly. Stay safe and warm everyone ;)         As I had babies on my mind all day yesterday I decided to make two baby cards. It was a  very long  day, we were waiting to find out  the sex of  our 4th (and probably last)  grandbaby.         We only found out very late afternoon, so by then all my nails were chewed down.....well not really but you know what I mean.         It has made us all very happy as we now know it is a ......................girl !!!!! All tests say everything is fine with mother  and baby too which is THE most important  thing of course ;)         My DIL esp. is ecstatic lol. She has always  wanted a girl ( although she is crazy about her  boy  as we all are). So they will have one of each now just like my other son and DIL.        How clever is that & how happy we all  are  too ;) So Alexander will soon have a sister, he said  it was a girl all along........he must have known ;)       We all thought it was a boy !!!!       Anyway sorry about my rambling yet again, ( you can probably sense how excited I am ) lol.....more PINK !!!       Come and have a closer look at my two  baby cards.      

        I used an old digi I printed out ages ago, I think  it's a DSB one ? The gingham was also from spare card I found in a box.    Sorry no idea where from now.I had never used  it before. Oooh NBUS Darnell would be proud  lol ! I used Promarkers and Flexmarkers to  colour.   The sentiment is a Woodware clear magic stamp.

Happy Easter card

Hi everyone, just popping by to show you my second card for 'Less is More' this week. The theme this time  is 'YELLOW and GREEN'     Also entering this in the DigiStamp Boutique 'March customer' competition.        

        I used   DigiStamp Boutique images  and a computerized sentiment. Images coloured using Promarkers, I added some glamour dust to the daisies.     The ribbon is quite old and no idea where it is from now sorry. Will spare you how long it took to get it looking just right too...but you will all understand I am sure :)         I seem to have a LOT of new craft items piling up and not a card  made with them ( red face). I am hoping to do more cards soon and show you some of the lovely goodies I have been tempted to buy lately.Note to self......stop buying 'stuff' !!       ps. Sunny day here today and I had a sudden urge to do some  Spring cleaning. Now my front door, all my sunlounge window surrounds and my main front window and sills are gleaming. Must do the side ones next then all the windows, happy days!         We have two large sunlounges front and back of the house , so lots of cleaning....large windows esp.grrrr.But my lovely OH has  said he will do the back ones....result !        

Lazy bear card

Hi again everyone, it's a beautiful warm ( 19C) sunny day here today for a change.I hope you have good weather too wherever you are. It's one layer card week again over at 'Less is More' and this time the theme is.................. A FILM

"Any film will do, but preferably one that most people will have

 heard of. We'd obviously like you to tell us the title of your film

 and not keep us guessing."

Luckily I soon had an idea and this is what I came up with,

come and have a closer look......... 

 

I used a Digi Stamp Boutique image 'Snoozing Louie'.

The title of the film is very evident I hope : ),but  in case

you are still in  any doubt it is..... 'It's a Wonderful Life'.

One of my favourite films ! I added the zzzzzzz's as

I thought the picture just had something missing.Not sure

 about  my colouring I wanted to give the bear a furry look,

 hmmm must try harder. I am doing a couple more cards

 now. I seem to warming  to this theme, thanks C & J 

once again. Although I did make a card only to realise

 it wasn't a film title but  a song title doh !!!!! Have a lovely

 Sunday, we are off for yet another walk today now :)

I  will just alter the names.Hope they don't see this one now :) ps. Our new bed arrived at long last ( van broke down if  you remember ) .

Life's little ups and downs card

It's week 77 over at 'Less is More' & this time it's a theme and ..............SewingHmmm I wasn't looking forward to this as like Diva Mandi ...I don't sew on  my cards. However as usualthey are keeping our grey matter on overdrive sowho are we to complain ! Anyway I found this cute little digi bird set I had and a sentiment I thought went with it and a plan was hatched ( excuse terrible pun there...birds ...hatch).I turned one of the birds upside down, which I thought went with the sentiment. I punched a few holes, did a bit of silver stitching  ( gulp) & decoupaged one of the birds ( sooooo  fiddly). I added a bit of glamour dust to the top bird too, ...I did try to resist using that....but wasn't easy lol. A bit of soft chalking around image, 3d'd it & job done............and relax.ps. Quite pleased with the stitching.......I may even do more !
