Diamond Wedding Anniversary

What wonderful weather we've had this week, if only it would last. I thought that I would show you this Diamond Wedding Anniversary Card that a friend asked me to make. I used the Glitter Girls All that Jazz CD for this.


The backing papers and decoupage were printed onto Matte photo paper, then mounted onto silver mirricard. The corners were a Mariaane Die, I then added some clear gems (diamonds of course) to the corners and also on the topper. The flowers were some cream ones that I had in my stash , but to make them match I just touched the ends of the petals with promarkers, and added some gem flowers that matched the colours used to these.

CD Sunday - Luck Of The Irish/St Patrick's Day

The Challenge over at the CD Sunday Blog this week is Luck Of The Irish/St Patrick's Day. I must admit to struggling a bit this week, as I was not sure I had anything that was suitable. Whilst looking through my CDs I came across one that I bought 3-4 years ago from ebay, which was full of vintage images. There was a folder on there called Victorian Holidays, and that is where I found this cute little image.


I've mounted the topper onto green mirricard, and then printed a green checked background from Sharon Duncan's Country Kids, also mounted onto mirricard. Added some green ribbon and found some flowers in my stash to match the colours in the topper.

Thanks for looking.

Harlequin Rose and Forgotten Friday 7

It's Friday and once again time for Forgotten Friday. This week on my rummage I found this stamp from Elusive Images called Harlequin Rose. I bought this when it was first released but had not got around to using it. I've stamped it out and coloured it using promarkers. Then used a backing paper from the Artylicious Damask Delights CD. Added some gold mirricard and gold ribbon from my stash.

At that stage I was not sure what I was going to use the card for, but then looking at it again I think it will make a wonderful Mother's day card.

MCS Samples, Once In A Lifetime

As I write this the New MCS Once In A lifetime is on the TV. And now that the CDs have been launched I can show you my Samples that I was busy making last week. I'm not going to say too much about how I made the samples, except that I used things that I either had in my stash box, my Cricut machine, Marianne Dies and Martha Stewart punches.

Thank you for looking

CD Sunday Challenge - Art Nouveau

This week the theme over at the CD Sunday Challenge Blog is Art Nouveau. Once again I have used MCS, this time the Opulent. It has wonderful Art Nouveau images and backgrounds on.


I have used silver mirriboard to mount the backing paper and the image onto, then cut some corners for a Marianne die cut, added some lemon ribbon and some flowers that I had in my stash.

Thanks for looking

Pretty In Pink and Forgotten Friday 6

Well it Friday again, it's come around quickly this week. I'm a bit behind as I have been making samples for a Pick of the Day on Ideal World this coming Tuesday. So I have turned to a Joanna Sheen CD 'Precious Petals', for this week Forgotten Friday. I bought this when it was first released and this is the first time that I have used it.


I made this card in pink colours, and have not added a sentiment. I can then put it in my box of made cards and it is almost ready to be sent to someone.

Thank you for looking,

CD Sunday Challenge, Get A Head - Get A Hat

This weeks challenge over at CD Sunday is Get a head - Get a hat. Once again I've used MCS (I do have other CDs,really!!).

For this card I have used MCS Fab Glam Fifties. There is a whole section just with hats in.

I have also chosen to use a colour that I don't use very often, browns and beige's. The base easel card is cream, then I've used gold mirricard for matting and layering, along with some gold ribbon and some flowers from my stash.

Thank you for looking

Funky Fashion and Forgotten Friday 5

Another Friday and another rummage through the cupboard for forgotten stamps, accessories and stuff. This week I've made 3 cards with these Funky Fashion stamps from Elusive Images that I bought when they were first released. They have been used before but not for a long time.


The acrylic tags were in a stash box that I bought from Graphicus some time ago, also the ribbon slider. The flowers that are on the dress card were a very pale pink and did look right so I coloured them the same colour as the flowers on the dress with a Promarker.

All of the backing papers are by Bearly Mine designs. The beaded string across the bottom card I made using some thread that I have on a small cone which I have in the past used with my knitting machine, the beads from my stash. The backing paper I used on the bottom card reminded me of the Indian fabric that you can get with the little mirrors embroidered onto it, so I used a quickie glue pen and added some glitter to the middle of the circles.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Swirls and Pearls

This weeks challenge over at CD Sunday is Swirls and Pearls. I have used MCS, No Stamp Required, Floral to make this card. The picture has not come out that well, as the weather is so dull and wet here today.

I made a plain coloured background for this, which is so easy to do using the colour pick feature in MCS added the swirl and changed the colour to match. I added the text, then added a couple of butterflies, I printed 4 extra and then decoupaged them. I've added the pearls in 2 sizes. I mounted the image onto white centura pearl card. For the base card I changed the background colour slightly and printed this onto centura card then just folded in half and added a little ribbon.

Thank you for looking

Faerie Poppet

After joining Judith and Forgotten Friday last week, I thought I would have to look a little further into my cupboard that has my stamps in to see what I could find for this week. I didn't get very far before I found a box with some wood mounted stamps. I don't have that many of them as I prefer to have the unmounted type. In the box I found 4 Faerie Poppets and I can't remember when I bought them. This is the one that I have decided to use, I'm sure I will be using the others in the future.



After Stamping the image and colouring it with promarkers, I stamped the image 2 times more with the first I cut out the wings so that when I masked the coloured one, I could spray through with Crafters Companion Iridescent glitter spray. Then with the other I cut around the whole image and with a duster brush added the yellow from a big and juicy ink pad. The backing paper is from MCS Another Walk In Wonderland. Ribbon and flowers from my stash. I'm off to have another rummage to see what I can use next week.

Thank you for looking.
