A mix of cards

Hello Friends,

I've been asked if I'd do a charity card making class to raise money for our local RDA (riding for the disabled association) group.  There is going to be an auction and a picture was required for the brochure.  I think, when photographing a selection of cards, it is best if they all match!  I had made the new home card using the gorgeous Anna Griffin pink decorative paper, as the paper was still out on my desk, I decided to make a couple of other cards I needed to make, using the same paper, just for the photo ;)!

I used the Silhouette Cameo to make the Sweet Home card, the Flower Shop bundle from Stampin' Up to make the card with a flower and finally the new baby card was made using texture paste and a brass stencil I've had for many years.  All the card stock, ribbon, brads and ink are from Stampin' Up.

I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoying looking at my little card selection.

Happy crafting.

Kite & Bicycle card - Male (Sizzix & Stampin' Up)

Hello Friends,

I'm back today with a card I've made for a young male, whose birthday is on Saturday.

I used a mixture of supplies from Sizzix/Hero Arts and Stampin' Up, what a great marriage, I'd say ;)!

The kite is made from Shrink Plastic, which I stamped using Olive Green Stazon before shrinking.

Let me know what you think, I love reading your comments.

Have a great crafty day.

Silhouette Cameo - 50th birthday card

Hello Friends,

I'm back!  I'm popping in today to share a card I've just made for a friend who is celebrating a special birthday today......talk about "last minute.com" ;)!

It's a fairly simple card, I'm recovering from surgery and can't lift stuff (or stash for that matter), so this is the card I managed using limited supplies, in reach that didn't need a whole lot of stretching/lifting to get at.  Why on earth my DSP stash is in one huge heavy box on a shelf I can hardly get at - I knew I was having surgery, I should have had that sorted long before my op!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the tag shapes and "fifty", stamped a little image from Vintage Vogue by Stampin' Up, added a button and some stitching - easy really!

Enjoy your day, I hope you find some time to craft.

Thanks for popping by.

Silver Wedding Card - Cameo Silhouette

Hello Friends,

Firstly I'd like to welcome my new follower....Charmaine - thanks for joining me, I really appreciate having another lovely follower.

I know it's been a while since I posted but I've been re-organising my stash again ;)!  I definitely spend more time organising my stash than I do making wonderful projects from it!  Hopefully, this time, it will stay tidy as I have some lovely new storage furniture for my craft room.  When the work on my craft room is finished, I'll perhaps post some piccies for you to see.

On to today's card......

I made this by adapting a Silhouette cutting file, the original was wider and had 30 hearts on the front, which was great, but as a challenge I adapted it to cut me 25 hearts for this Silver Wedding card to send our friends, who will be partying this weekend.  Unfortunately we are unable to attend, as I'm busy with something else, but at least I will be thinking of them.

Hope you like it.

Happy crafting.
