A Well deserved break ...

Well... over the weekend I have a lot of cards to make which I'll be sharing with you over the next week, so I decided to have a little rest tonight & start tomorrow on my cards. So I want to share with you a card which my mam asked me to do about a month ago & it was one of her famous "Angela I need a card for tomorrow!" So its a really easy card which I used some organza wired ribbon. I used some of my fabric confetti & wired paper. Its a really nice card & was ideal for my mam...

I've got to go & get some Black glitter card because one of the cards which I'll be showing you is for a birthday & I'm going to do it Pink & Black.... I know I can hear you say "Black... for a birthday card" but just wait till you see it, you'll be dying to have a try...

See you tomorrow

A Box Card ... For a Christening

Thank you to everyone who has looked at my blog over that month, I was so suprised to see how many hits that I had got & I would just like to say that it is very much appreciated...

On Tuesday in Kettlebells I was asked if I would make a christening card for a little boy. I just love doing christening cards & I decided to do one of my box cards in Blue, Instead of using a flower I used stars, But still kept the butterflies on the side as peolpe that know me will know I looooovvvve Butterflies! For some strange reason I could'nt get the box lid tight enough so 5 box lids later & here is it lol ....

Little box waiting to be opened

 The butterfly above was made from Fabric Confetti stamped with one of My World stamps. I'm taken the card tonight to class & I really hope that she likes it.... i'll let you know.

During today I received an email asking me to do some samples for Wedding invitations.... Now you all know how excitied I get over Wedding Invites. I'll be doing these over the next week so tune in to see them.

Until Tomorrow

Pretty Butterflies ...

I want to share this pretty Butterfly Card with you, It was a quick Christening card that i made for my friends Mam, I tried to keep it really simple & put a really nice verse in the middle, Stamped some flowers around the edge, & Used my can't do with out Paper pen... The lovely butterflies started off white & I used a nice stamp in pink & it matched in quite well with the colour of the card & the flowers around the verse, For the envelope I used some Velum & tied a ribbon around the middle & a tag to write on who the card was for & from. I let you decide if I've done a good job...

I hope you liked the design of the card, I really wanted to make this a simple but lovely card & try out different designs. Oh I just love Butterflies so I added a few of them ... I have to let you in on a secret ... I forgot to take a photo of the "New Home" Card last night so, there will be a different card on Friday for you ... I have already told myself off!!!

So... until Tomorrow

Try This Bow ...

OMG ... I'm going to be busy tonight, I have to make an envelope for my card below & then after Kettle Bells Ive been asked to make a "New Home" Card for tomorrow. I've got loads of ideas for the card so if you tune in on Friday you'll see what I've decided to do. So back to today's Card ... I was asked to make a Birthday Card for a Sister who love Pinks & is Girlie ... Right up my street & it gave me a chance to try something new with the bow, I found this raffia which I mixed & Matched with a spare piece of ribbon that I found in the bottom of my craft box. I used a stamp to put over my verse, But the best bit .... the swirly roses!!! I may be the only daft person around but I have just found out I have been twisting the roses from the center when I should have been starting from the end... Mind you I only found that out by chance when I thought what would happen if I did it that way & eureka it worked a treat, Any way here's the card & I hope You like it ...

My roses which I did right this time...

Please try this bow its really easy & effective.

Full view of card

  Also at the bottom of the card is a little tag so you can write what ever you want on it & not spoil the card (That's is if your handwriting is as bad as mine lol ). Tomorrow card is a Christening card which I really love because its Butterflies & just looks so sweet. I'm off now to make an envelope... see you tomorrow

George & his Dog ...

My second Sample for Dainty Supplies Is George & his dog in a little cart, I love this stamp because he is so cute. The papers were also from Dainty Supplies & were from the Wild Rose range to do Georges face I use the Gel pens in Fuchsia pink (dots) & the White Gel pen (dots). I Think Men's cards can be a little scary for people to make but this card would be perfect for a child or a man, If you do live in the North east please take a trip to Dainty Supplies, its like an Aladdin's Cave once you get in there, On Saturday I found some good Material to use as Ribbons which I'll be posting my Card on Wednesday to show you that you can use almost anything on a card... So back to George...

Little George with his dog... how cute!

Velvet Ribbon

The ribbon on the bottom is also from Dainty Supplies, the Light & Dark Green is Bias Binding & the Yellow is really thin round ribbon & they have loads of it, & its really cheap. Tomorrow is my last of my samples & its a female card, so tune in for that..

See tomorrow

Lazy Sunday....

Well... I promised you some Molly Bloom Cards & over the next couple of days I'll be posting the sample cards that I've just handed into Dainty Supplies, They had no samples to show people how you can use the stamps & they are so great to work with that if you have never stamped before Molly Boom would be the best stamp to try.... So here is the 1st sample.


Molly Bloom Summer "George at the seaside"

Ice cream Stamp

I really do love Molly Bloom & if you pop down to Dainty Supplies there is a really good range of the Spring & Summer Stamps & You can make really easy cards. Tomorrow I've got another Molly Bloom & its another Male card so tune in for that..

The card I Promised ...

I promised that I would post a man's quick card that I did yesterday, I Used the new Happy Birthday Papers from DoCraft. They are really nice papers to work with & ideal for Males or Females when your in a hurry. The papers all coordinate so you really can't go wrong... take a look.

Quick & Easy Card

You can create a bow using anything

I love using string on my cards, because it totally changes the look of the card & it just makes it different from the normal bows that you can put on your. On tomorrow's post I'll have some Gift tags which matched my Thank you teacher cards that only took minutes to do but are really quick & easy & most of all cheap.... so until tomorrow.

The Ribbon Girl Challenge ...

Well, my post today is some thing that I made a thank you card for a teacher assistant, So seeing as the challenge for Ribbon Girl was shades of Turquoise I deiced to enter it... I did decide not to do a stamp for the front page because I get sick of the same things & like to try new things. So...... here it is.

I really enjoyed this challenge because the colour turquoise is a lovely colour to work with, Tonight before Kettle bells I'm making some gift tags to go with the cards I posted on Tuesday so busy, busy, busy. Keep an eye out for tomorrow's posting as its a budget card for a man .... Really easy but looks effective

Simon Says Stamp Challenge...

I have been asked to do a card for a Mam's Birthday, So I thought that I'd kill 2 birds with 1 stone (sort to speak) & enter the card into Simon Says Stamp Challenge "Anything Goes". I decied to use my stamp "time Flies" By Sheena which I'm going out this weekend & getting some more because they are really nice to work with. I didn't want to go over the top with flower as the main flower is quite big. I Got the flowers from Dainty Supplies from the bridal section & I've added some of my open paper gel... I hope you like it.

That all from me now & I'm sorry for neglecting you but I only have 1108 books left to deliver then I'll be back blogging... Keep an eye out for tomorrow's post as I have to do a Wedding card tonight.

Less is More Challenge...

Omg... I found a challenge that is a real test... Less is more! there was no ribbon, flowers, extra pretty paper, just the stamp on the card... mmm this was right up my street. So in my Kettlebell class I couldn't concentrate because I had all these ideas flying around in my head... I hope you like it...


Used my rose stencil with Paper - soft color




Used my paper pen in Opal to outline the flower

As the challenge is legs... here is a butterfly! small I know


 I've just discovered this range & I think its fantastic. What do you think?... Anyway I must go because I have to enter this into the Challenge....
See you soon
