The Last 50th Birthday Card

 Two days on the trot, I won't be able to keep it up though. I'm back to share the last of the 50th Birthday cards that I had to make. Again I used Carnation Crafts Dies but I can't remember the collection name that these shoes came from. The backing paper was a patterned one from Carnation Crafts but it doesn't show up the photo. I then printed the shoes onto glossy photo paper and decoupaged them both. The numbers and words are also from Carnation Crafts. When I had finished I added a some gems from my stash. I just wish I could still walk in shoes like these but I think I would break my neck these days.

 Again I'm going to pop across to CD Sunday and join in the fun.

Yet Another 50th Birthday Card

Just popping in today to show yet another of the 50th Birthday cards that I had to make recently. This time I used Carnation Crafts Natures Grace Collection that was released earlier this year. I glad to say that all of the cards were loved. I been busy the last few days trying to make some sense of my rather messy craft room. I think the lesson to be learnt is not to let it get in such a mess again, it's going to take another week or so before I have it all sorted.

I'm going to join in the fun over at CD Sunday this week which is Anything goes.

Another 50th Birthday Card

What a bad blogger I've become, I really must try harder to get stuff posted. Today I have another of the 50th Birthday cards that I had to make. Today is the recipient's birthday and I hope she is having a lovely day with her family. For this card I used Debbi Moore's Summer Moments CD, The lady was decoupaged and I used one of the scenes from the CD as a backdrop. The flowers are from Phil Martin Dies and cut out from a backing paper from the CD then edged with distress inks and the 50 was cut from a Tattered Lace die set.  The challenge at the moment over at Allsorts is Anything Goes so I thought I would go and join in the fun.

Hello

Sometimes you just need a card to send with a little note and that's how this card came about. I used 2 Sheena stamps for this card, the first was the Robin sitting on the blossom buds and the second was open blossom on another stamp. However I have only used the corner of that stamp. I then coloured with pencils and went around the outside. We were lucky to have a Robin nest in our garden this year, and it was lovely to watch the chick fledge. It done this over a couple of evenings, the first it was on our path for a long time before flying back to the nest, then the next evening while watch TV with the patio doors open it flew into our lounge and landed on a picture frame. After doing a lap of the living room it found its way back out of the door into the garden.  I think that's why I chose to use this stamp, because it reminded me of the baby Robin. I'm taking this card to join in with a few challenges, first is Allsorts who would like anything Feminine, Stamping Sensations who would like anything For a Lady. Next Chocolate Baroque who would like Beautiful Blooms and finally River of Creativity who want No Hearts or Mushy Stuff. I'm also going to pop over to Try It On Tuesday who want Feathered Friends.

June Rudolph Days

I can't believe how fast this year is flying by and that we are half way through the year already. Dare I say it, just 6 months until Christmas? Anyway onto the reason why I'm here today and that is that it's time for this month's Rudolph Days Challenge. For my offerings this month I'm showing you what I made with the new dies and USB from Tattered Lace. I fell in love with these beautiful Bauble dies and Charisma as soon as I saw them, so when they arrived I had to get them out and play with them straight away. There are 6 different scenes and I've made one of each, I'm sure you'll agree that they are very pretty. I also treated myself to the new Scan-n-cut (DCX 1200) with the automatic blade and made the bottom card using the Scan-n-cut and the Carnation Crafts Christmas USB. In no time at all I had all of the pieces cut out and ready to put together on a card blank. All I add was a generous helping of glitter. Anyway onto the challenge, I do hope that you can pop across to the Rudolph Days Blog and join in the fun this month. Maureen has a wonderful prize ready to send to the person who is chosen at random as the winner this month.

Parent and Child

This week it's my Brother-in-laws Birthday and as I know he doesn't blog or even own a computer I know I'm safe to post this here now. He's very awkward to make for as he has no interests really. He does like to watch wildlife programmes on the TV though so I reach for the Tattered Lace Wondrous Wilderness collection for inspiration for his card. This is what I settled on in the end. I printed off the charisma and die cut the tiger and cub out and then found a suitable background on the USB . It's all been put together on a 7x7 card base. I going to pop over to the River of Creativity with this card as they are asking for cards showing Parent and Child and also to CD Sunday which is anything goes as long as you've used a CD or USB or digital image.

50th Birthday

Sorry I've been absent for a little while, but between completing the sale of my Mother's house and then grabbing a few days away with hubby and friends in North Yorkshire things have been quite busy. Also my mojo has been on a long walk about for months now, but I'm glad to say has been making a comeback this last week and I've actually made quite a few cards over the last week. It includes this one which is an order from a friend, in fact it's part of an order as I have to make four 50th Birthday cards for the same person for August. I know the person this is for does not read my blog so am quite safe in posting this now. I've used dies and digital downloads from Carnation Crafts for this card so will be dropping into the challenge over on the CD Sunday blog, where the challenge is anything goes.

The Age Of Steam

I have another card from the Tattered Lace Vintage Escapades for you today. This one was made for my Father-in-laws 93rd Birthday which he celebrated at the beginning of this month. This Collection is fast becoming my favourite go to for masculine themed cards, there is quite a lot to choose from. Everything was printed onto glossy photo paper before being matted onto some pearlised grey card stock.

70th Birthday

Just popping in today to show you the card that I made for Hubby's birthday which was on 23thApril. It was made using the USB and dies from Tattered Lace, Vintage Escapades. This is a beautiful collection just right for masculine cards. In 2016 we went on an Alaskan Cruise and were lucky enough to see a whole field full of these magnificent birds all just sat. They were a lot bigger than I thought they were and look just like little old men hunched down. Glad to say that Hubby loved his Birthday card even if we couldn't celebrate properly because of lockdown. As I have used a USB for this card I'm going to pop across to the CD Sunday Challenge and take part this time. It's Anything Goes.

Happy Birthday

I've been very taken with Carnation Crafts die sets since they launched a couple of years ago and recently bought the set that this gorgeous die set, it's called Moments in Time. When it arrived I knew that I wanted to make a card for a friend who celebrated her Birthday last month. I printed out the Charisma onto gloss photo paper and die cut all of the pieces that I needed and I also cut the base layer in gold mirri card. I then used and 8x8 card blank for my base and built up the layers using glue gel for the flowers. I'm glad to say that it was well received.

Thank you for taking the time to look and our kind comments which are always appreciated.
