Birthday Card

Today it is my Sister-in-laws birthday, and my Mother-in-law asked me to make a card for her. So today I thought I would show it to you. It was made using the Enchanted Dreams CD from Joanna Sheen. The first photo shows the card straight on and the second stood, as it is an easel card and the sentiment is on the inside . I chose to use the backing paper upside down as I wanted it to be darker at the bottom. I mounted this onto some blue mirricard , the topper is mounted onto silver mirricard and I cut some corners from a Marianne die. The butterflies are also a Marianne die which I cut out in some white card and the sprayed with Glimmer mists.

On the inside I used the backing sheet the right way up. The verse inside and the sentiment were printed on my laser printer and put through the laminator with a holographic foil. I added some ribbon and pearls from my stash.

MCS Klever Konstruction - Samples

I am lucky to be a member of the Sample Makers team for My Craft Studio, and recently made samples for the Klever Konstruction pick of the week that was on Create and Craft last week. So today I thought I would show you the sample that I made with the art work that was sent to me.

Thank you for looking.

CD Sunday - Someone Special

The challenge this week for CD Sunday is Someone Special. This came at just the right time for me, as I've been asked to make an Anniversary Card for someone. I've used Debbi Moore's Evergreen CD to make this card. This is a fairly new CD out and the Images on it are beautiful, and I'm very pleased with the end result. I just needed to add a couple of flowers and a couple of die cuts to finish. Thanks for looking. Sue

Forgotten Friday 11 - Three Kings

Well it's Friday and time for another search through my cupboards for something that I haven't used for a long time. I wonder how many of us buy new Christmas stamps every year, and then forget them the following year when the new ones come out. I'm afraid that I am one of those people. So this week I am making my first Christmas card with a stamp from 2008. This stamp is an Elusive Images stamp of the Three kings, and the backing paper is from the Artylicious Seasons Greetings CD.

If you have lots of unused stash why not dig it out of the back of the cupboard or the bottom of the box and join in with this fun challenge. Check out Judith's Blog over at Poppy Cottage (there is a link to Judith's blog at the side of this one).

Thanks for looking.

CD Sunday - Transport

Well it's Sunday and time for a new challenge over on the CD Sunday Blog. This weeks theme is Transport. I've kept it simple this week as I think that this card will be ideal for a man. So no ribbons, no flowers, but I did manage to find some corrugated gold mirricard in a box of bits, there was just enough to put the topper and sentiment on. The CD I used was MCS It's A Boy Thing. Thanks for looking Sue

Forgotten Friday 10 - Summertime

Another Friday has come along at high speed, so it's time for Forgotten Friday over at Poppy Cottage. Do pop over and have a look and even dig out your forgotten or unused stash and join in. This week I have used another Elusive Images stamp that I bought as a Guild special. Poppies are amongst my favorite flowers so I just had to use this. I have kept it simple this week, no backing papers. I stamped onto white card the sentiment and small single poppy and left this uncoloured, then I used the Barn Door distress ink pad to add some colour straight to the card. Then coloured the poppies with promarkers. And popped it all onto a green 6x6 card. Thank you for looking Sue

CD Sunday - Wild Thing

This weeks challenge over at the CD Sunday Blog, is Wild thing. I have managed not to use MCS this week, instead I have used Peerless Designs Cuddle Upz CD.

I printed the main backing paper straight onto the card, and then used two of the other backing papers, I mounted them on to mirricard. I added some gold and brown ribbon from my stash. I have used two toppers from the sheet of toppers, again mounted onto gold mirricard, then added a foiled greeting. I finished off with a matching insert and also the envelope, all are on the CD.

Thank you for looking.

Forgotten Friday 9 - Another Butterfly - Or Three

I can't believe that it's Friday again, it has come around so quickly. This is my contribution to Forgotten Friday over at Poppy Cottage this week. Last week I used the Harlequin Butterfly stamp plate, and while I was getting them out of the cupboard I also got out the Patchwork Butterfly stamp plate. Last night I stamped out the butterfly and the sentiment several times, and I coloured 3 in while watching the TV intending to pick the one that I liked the best to post on here today. This morning I printed off 3 different backing papers from the Artylicious Essence of Nature CD and put 3 cards together, all very similar. However I could not decide which one I like the best so I have posted all 3.

The first card I made, I coloured the butterfly with shades of pink, added some ribbon to the side of the card and also added some flowers. I used my Big and Juicy ink pads to add some colour to the sentiments on all of the cards matching them to the colours I used on the butterflies.

For the second card I used red's, orange's and yellow's for the butterfly. Some orange and yellow ribbon and some orange flowers.

And the third I used lilacs, purple and green. Also flowers and ribbons that matched the colours used.

Which one do you prefer?

Thanks for looking.

CD Sunday - Colours

The challenge over at CD Sunday this week is Colour, Blue, Yellow and Brown. This week I have gone back to my favorite, MCS. I have used this lovely image from Fab Glam Fifties. The Blue and Yellow in this image are so vibrant.


I had some yellow ribbon that matched, and the flowers were coloured using promarkers. I finished the middles of the flowers with some faux brads.

Forgotten Friday 8 - Butterflies

It's Friday, and time again for Forgotten Friday over at Poppy Cottage (blog listed on my blog list). This is such a good idea, I have so much stuff that I have bought and never quite found the time to use.


This week I have used another Elusive Images stamp, from the Butterfly Poppy Collage stamp sheet, again bought when it was first released and not used. I used my promarkers to colour the images and mounted onto goldmirri card. The backing paper is from the Essence Of Nature CD and the ribbon from my huge stash.

Do go and check out Judith's blog and why not join in.
