Just to let all my blogger friends know that over the next couple of days I will be updating my blog with all the recent cards that I have made, be warned there is a few lol as I have now completed all my cards for family and friends for the year :)xxx

 Here is two more cards made with the great technique of iris folding, The vase and flowers was made for my mum for Mother's day and the ivory dress one was made for a good friend of mine. Both my daughters enjoy making cards this way too.

My first attempt at Iris Folding and I love this technique x

 

 

This was made for my brother 

I used the Flippin' Men stamps 'Bathtime'

I cut the circle out using the Fiskars shape-cutter

The background paper was from my crafty stash

Here is what I made today after deciding to have a colouring session as I didn't feel in the mood to do anything else lol well until I had finished her, and for a change I am very happy with how this has turned out.

This is the creation I came up with after receiving this lovely stamped image from another good crafty friend, Thanks once again Lindyloo :) you are truly a crafty angel xx

I made this as a thank you to a special girl who kindly gave up her Eeyore items so I could have them, so thank you hun from this mad avid Eeyore fan :) xx

This I made for a friend of mine who is new to crafting as a memento of her beloved dog 'Diesel' who sadly had to go and be with the angels :( xxx R.I.P Diesel xxx

Yay I am one very happy little pixie my first ever win :)xx

Another make from my lovely free stamps

I used mirrored & glittered card along with pearlescent paper, textured card for the layering all from my card stock. The Image was coloured in with promarkers and the accents where from poundland. I finished it off with a glittery happy birthday peel off that I got from a craft store called 'paper n card' that is located in my home town centre. This card will be going to my 6 year old nephew.

Tatty Ted

My latest creation made in the wee hours of this morning, It is for a friend & her partner who are celebrating 10 years together. My friend is a devoted mum to her 3 girls so I incorporated them into the card by using the 3 butterfly's also she is a huge tatty ted fan xx

Been awhile since I last .....

did any crafting :( it has been a few weeks due to my college assignments :/ but last night I realised that my sisters wedding anniversary was creeping up fast so did this quick card :)x

My glittery entry for another blog challenge

at Crafter's Companion The theme is Glitter & Glitz and a new baby is a great excuse to use lots of things that shine and glitter. So I created this using a plain baby pink card that I bought from "the works" The toppers are by Habic "cut as a kitten - babies" the white butterfly, which I added glitter to the edges myself are "fly stickers" all of which I bought from a great craft stall in my town market called "Scents & Sentiments". The backing papers I cut into shape using my "spellbinders". The ribbon, bright pink flowers, small bright pink butterfly and gems I purchased from "poundland", and the big flower I made from my stash of paper flowers joining them together with a flower brad I acquired from "Debbie Cripps". And to finish it off I added more glitter around the backing paper and a Congratulations peel off. I am very pleased with the out-come all I need now is someone I know to have a baby girl lol.

Something "New" for another blog challenge

This card was entered into the The Crazy Challenge, I made this for a good friend who has just moved house. I used a wavy black card and stamped the Chinese words which mean, 1st is Happiness 2nd is Harmony 3rd is Peace and the 4th stands for Tranquillity which I believe everyone one wants in a new place. The Temple is from a set of clear oriental stamps that I purchased from e-bay along with the Chinese lettering used as the background. I then finished the card off with red glittery boarder peel-offs, a bow, dragonfly's and flowers all of which are stash that I have acquired from various places over the years. The final touch to bring it all together are peel-offs  "A New Home". This card has yet to be sent but I know the lady who it is for will really appreciate it as she is a crafter too.

   

My first ever card made for a blog challenge

set by The Cutie Pie Challenge. The theme is "cute" therefore I went from a child's perspective. I created it using plain black card from the works.  The owl stamp, leaves and little flowers plus the wording are all clear stamps by Little Musing, the tree itself I drew by hand, and the little sleepy rabbit is a stamp I picked up in a craft sale for 99p. To achieve the purple background I used cosmic shimmer mist (purple violet) on plain white card. All the stamped images are coloured in with pro-markers. The large flower, and small shiny ones plus the stars and ladybird are all from my stash that I have acquired over the years. Hooooooow cute it is to be them lol hope you like.

my latest stitchy creation (with lavender)

this was made for a wonderful lady who had surgery to remove a huge tumour from her stomach, she is however doing very well and is now back working :-)

At Last!!!!
