Starry Skies

This is the final 50th Birthday card that I created, I used the free Galaxy papers from this months Making Cards Magazine.

I decided to create another shaker card, the number dies are from Tonic and the happy birthday is a Poppy Stamps die, I also snipped the 'th' from the Poppy Stamps die so that it matched perfectly.

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.

Happy Valentine's Day

I decided to use one of the Valentine Bag Toppers that I created earlier, you can see them HERE, to create a card.

I used one of the papers from the Simple Stories Simple Vintage My Valentine collection and also added a sentiment from the collection.  I inked the edges of everything and added some die cut hearts.

Eleanor

I have another 50th Birthday card to share today, this time I used papers and elements from the NitWit Eleanor collection.

I printed the beautiful flowers several times so that I could fussy cut them and layer them up with foam pads, the sentiment is from The DigiStamp Boutique.  I found a nice verse and added it to the same paper that I used on the front to decorate the inside.

Sir Vagabond

I have been watching You Tube tutorials again, this time Vicky Papaioannou, she is one very talented lady.

She used the Stamperia Sir Vagabond collection to create a little home decor piece and this is my take on it - there are not as many details as hers as I didn't have all of the products but I'm quite pleased with it.

I only used one sheet of paper and part of one topper, the background is the top of the sheet with some Distress Oxide ink added, the buildings are fussy cut from the bottom of the sheet, I fussy cut several little groups of buildings and then rearranged them on my plaque.  I layered them up to create different levels and then added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to some of the roofs and a few other details like the clocks.  The Airship is another fussy cut from one of the toppers in the collection, I also popped it up for dimension and added some 3D Crystal Lacquer.

Happy 50th

My neighbour asked me to make a birthday card for her Daughter who turns fifty next month, this is one of the cards that I created but I didn't give it to her because I don't like it very much - I think it's the sentiment.

I created a Shaker card, the paper is from the Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Nativity collection, I don't think you would know that they are Christmas papers though.  The glasses are also from Crafter's Companion and another Christmas collection - Gemini Celebrate the Season dies.

Hugs & Kisses

This is another Valentine card, I have used my Simple Stories Simple Vintage My Valentine collection again.

I recently purchased the Lisa Horton Nested Scalloped Slim dies and decided to use them to create my card.  I used two of the papers along with the hearts that were cut from the element sheet, the sentiment is from the sticker sheet, I have backed it with black cardstock so that I could attach it using foam pads.

Valentine Bag Toppers

I have been creating some more Valentine makes using my Simple Stories Simple Vintage My Valentine collection, this time I have created a couple of Valentine Bag Toppers.

I took a couple of doilies and folded them in half, I then decorated them with lots of fussy cuts from the paper collection along with some of the stickers, I always adhere the stickers to card stock and cut them out, this means I can layer them up with foam pads to create dimension.

I used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies to cut the banners from some of the papers, I think I might even make these into some cards, I'm not sure yet.
