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.
