Flowers for Mother's Day

This is the card that I have created for my Mother-in-Law for Mother's Day, I used my Tattered Lace Mega Side Stepper Die to create the base.

The Lace panels are also part of the Tattered Lace die set and the flowers are from the Hunkydory Floral Favourites Snippable collection along with the purple papers. The Mother's Day is an unlabeled die, I also decorated the inside of the card to match the front and added a lovely verse that I found on the internet.

A Milestone Birthday

My Sister will be celebrating a milestone Birthday next month and this is the card that I have created for her.

I used a Tattered Lace Die along with some of the new Floral Favourite Snippables from Hunkydory, I'm still not sure about the Snippable concept, it is quite a fiddle.  I decorated the inside of the card and added a nice verse.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Burger and Chips

It was my youngest son's Birthday yesterday and this is the card that I created for his brother to give him.  He loves a burger and chips and has chosen this for his Birthday dinner, home made of course!

I used my Tattered Lace Tempting Treats collection, I had to buy this collection as soon as it came out, I just knew that it would be perfect to make a card for Laurence.  There are dies and Charisma, my inspiration came from one of the cards in the Tattered Lace Gallery, I just added a computer generated sentiment.

Christmas Kisses

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme this month is Cute Couples.

I used the adorable Snowman Couple image from our sponsor Bugaboo to create my card.

I coloured my couple with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.  I then added glitter to the Snowladies hat and the snow on the ground along with some 3D Crystal Lacquer to their buttons.

I cut them out with a Sue Wilson pierced square die and layered them up onto some green card stock, I repeated with another layer of white and green card stock before attaching them to my card front.  The sentiment is from Kraftwork cards layered onto a Tattered Lace Charisma Frames 2 die cut from the green card stock.

Make sure you pop over to the Christmas with the Cuties challenge blog and take a look at the Design Team inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Cute Couples challenge.

I would like to enter this card into the August Rudolph Days Challenge, the theme is Anything Christmas Goes.

A wonderful holiday

Matt and Hannah went on holiday to Cyprus recently and Matt asked me to make a layout using a couple of their favourite photographs.

I used papers from the Sara Davies Shabby Chic Signature collection and created some die cut flowers using some Tattered Lace Dies - the leaves are a Sue Wilson die.  I die cut the Cyprus letters with a Memory Box die, I cut them twice - once from pink and once from green so that I could inlay them.  I also inked the edges of everything with Distress Ink.
