Relax with a Coffee

I have another card to share today using the fabulous Kanban Koffee collection, this will be the last one for a while.

I have used two of the papers and a topper from the collection along with some gold mirror card and a some beige card stock from my stash.

The flowers are also from the collection, three were die cut and the other three I fussy cut.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

A match made in Heaven

I have created another card using the Kanban Koffee collection, I have really had fun playing with this fabulous collection.

I have used two of the papers and a topper, the flowers are also from the collection - all I have added is some gold card stock.

I used my Clearly Besotted Scalloped Border die to create the little gold border between the papers.

Coffee & Cake

I have had the Kanban Koffee collection for quite a while and have actually managed to make a card with it at last!

I love the coffee colours and touches of gold in this collection, I have used one of the toppers and two of the papers to create this card.

The flowers are also from the collection, three of them were die cut and I fussy cut the other three from a border.

I layered everything onto gold mirror card and added some gems from my stash.

Crafting for all Seasons 1st Birthday Challenge and Blog Hop

It's Birthday time at Crafting for all Seasons, the challenge has been going for a whole year and to celebrate we are having a Blog Hop.  But first thank you to everyone who joined us for our Handmade Flowers challenge we had so many beautiful entries, I do hope you will all join us again this week for our Birthday Celebrations.  The challenge this week is 'It's a Celebration' with Buttons - we would like you to use some buttons on your project.  This is what I have made:

I wanted to do something a little bit different for our 1st Birthday so I made a 1st Birthday card and matching Gift Bag.  The image is from TeddyBo and the papers are Echo Park - Little Boy, they have been hiding in my ever growing paper stash for ages.

I coloured the image with ProMarkers and paper pieced the number one and added some Crystal Lacquer to it:

The border was cut using Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Ric Rac, I cut the sentiment from a Crafty Pad Ticket Sentiment and backed it on the same red Core'dinations card stock that I used throughout.  The buttons and thread are from my stash:

As usual, I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front:

I used the same image, papers and layout for the gift bag:

and also decorated the back to complement the front:

I apologise for the number of photographs but I wanted to show everything, it took me so long to make it all I was nearly late for the challenge.
