Happy Birthday Maureen

Well I hope everyone is well in the UK. I should be arriving into Santander, in Spain, later today... fingers crossed the weather is warm :).

A special happy birthday wish goes to Maureen today!

Here is the card I made for her using the Beautiful Butterflies embosslits die and Elegant Bouquet embossing folder.

The base is Basic Black and I have teamed Real Red with Shimmery White card to create this project.

Other materials:

Scallop Trim border punch;

Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set;

Basic Pearls.

Creative Min

I'm finally off on my travels today, so will only have periodic posts for you whilst I am gone.  I'm unsure of my return date, but do check out my travel site for the latest on what I am up to if you are interested.

Today I have card made by my lovely friend Min.  Although not as crazy about crafting as me, Min certainly has a creative side.

There is lots of embossing going on with this card using a Basic Black base and coupling this with Raspberry Ripple.

Other materials:

Beautiful Butterflies embosslits die;
Argyle embossing folder;
Decorative Label punch,
Wacky Wishes stamp set (hostess only);
Basic Pearls.

Happy New Year

Good Luck to my Sister Lee who is running 10k today to raise money for the West Coast Crash Wheelchair Rugby team.  If you would like to sponsor her please do visit her fundraising page here.

So today is Chinese New Year... and, I have another 'Snake' themed card to share with you!

I've used the Labels Collection Framelits again for this card and also one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits, both on my Big Shot machine.

I did try to keep it simple but after making more than 50 Chinese New Year cards this year I'm glad I won't be around to celebrate ;).

Sweet Threads Simply Sent kit

Have you seen the all products in the new Spring/Summer mini catalogue!  There are so many lovely items to choose from... it took me a couple of looks to decide on those that I really liked ;).

For those of you that want to give card making a try, or those who like to sew, there is the new Sweet Threads Simply Sent kit.

This kit includes the materials for making 8 cards with 2 different designs and you can then add your own sentiments.  Priced at just £11.95 it's a real bargain.

There is also a sweet little sentiment stamp set for those of you who are just starting out or are building up your sentiment collection, priced at £5.95.  However, you can save 15% by ordering both the kit and the 2 sentiments for just £14.95.

I would urge you to take advantage of this bundle, but also don't forget the Jaded Crafter bundle that I am offering until 10th February.  See details here.

SAB butterflies

I have more Sale-A-Bration (SAB) ideas for you today.  Using the lovely Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set.  

I've selected Rich Razzleberry for the base and then randomly stamped the 'butterfly' image over a piece of Whisper White card stock using Rich Razzleberry, More Mustard, Pool Party and Island Indigo.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set... but I also needed something for a get well card so changed the based to Pool Party and used a Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment :)...
