Mr & Mrs

We went to my Brother-in-Law's Wedding on Friday, they have been together for fifteen years and decided to marry at last - this is the card that I made for them.

I used a combination of Crafter's Companion, Sue Wilson and Tonic dies to create my card - the panel, Mr & Mrs and rings are all Crafer's Companion dies, the plain and scalloped hearts are Tonic and the pierced square is a Sue Wilson die.

We had a fabulous day, the bride looked lovely and the weather was kind to us.  This is a photo of the happy couple.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave.

Spring Mother's Day

This is the card that I created for my Mother-in-law.  I used the Marjolein Bastin 8 x 8" Cardmaking Collection Pad  6 from Joanna Sheen.

There are two sheets for each image and I used both of them so that I could create some extra decoupage layers.

The yellow papers are from Hunkydory and the sentiment is a Taylored Expressions stamp.

Geometric Birthday

I have a very different card using the latest Craftwork Cards Stamp Club Kit to share today .

This time I have created a geometric pattern by stamping the largest cake layer several times in three bright colours.  I cut the panel out using a Sue Wilson stitched rectangle die and added a die cut 'happy' from Hero Arts - I cut it three times and layered it up for dimension.  The 'birthday' stamp is also part of of the Hero Arts sentiment set.

The buttons and twine are from my stash.

Elegant Frame

This is the third card that I have created with the Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps, as you can probably tell I love these stamps!

For this card I have simply coloured the image with ProMarkers and placed it behind a die cut frame that has been attached to a square cut with a Sue Wilson stitched square die.

I have used foam pads to layer everything up and just added some pearls to the corners of the frame.

For a Special Friend

Another pretty card to share today, I have used the Craftwork Cards Shabby Chic Collection Pack to create a shaker card.

I used the Country Charm Template to create my flowers, I traced around the large and small flower several times and fussy cut them.  I layered them up and added small rolled flowers from the Shabby Chic collection to the centre of each flower.

The sentiment banner is also from the collection, I cut another banner from the dotty papers.  I added a butterfly that was die cut from the same dotty papers.

Beautiful Blooms

I have used my Craft Consortium Bloom Beautiful paper pad to create another card.

I have used one of the beautiful floral papers and cut the bird topper from another of the papers using my Sue Wilson stitched squares die.

I created the flowers with a Spellbinders Becca Feeken die called Cinch and Go Flowers, I used Core'dinations card stock - I quite like the effect when you spritz them with water and scrunch them up.

Hello Autumn

I have made two cards for this weeks Less is More Challenge - we have a sketch to use this week.

I'm in Autumn mode at the moment, this first card uses stamps and a sentiment from the Sara Davies Autumn Morning Signature collection.

I created the green boxes in word and also printed the card base with the same colour.

I have used the same stamp set on my second card but this one is more colourful.

I cut the card front out with one of my Sue Wilson stitched rectangle dies and cut the sentiment banner by hand.

I would like to enter these cards into this weeks Less is More Challenge - Sketch 21.
