Triple Point Card

I have been wanting to make one of these cards for ages

having seen them over at the very talented Carol's blog.

So here it is.

It really was easy to make, just like Carol promised!!

I have used papers from Pink & Main

and the stamps are from Whimsy, and Stampin' Up!

The card has been made for my daughter-in-law

who recently passed her driving test.

She is an amazing girl coming from Latvia, learning our language

and then doing her driving test and passing first time!

Steampunk at Tag Tuesday

It was Valerie's turn to choose the theme over at

Tag Tuesday

and she wants us to go with

Steampunk!

I don't have a lot of stuff and lends itself to this theme

so I did my best with what I have.

The tag was cut from heavy green cardstock.

I stamped some text using From the heart stamp.

I then used a stencil and some 3d green paint.

I used the Geared Up Garage bundle to create

the cogs which were cut using a sparkly card and a few

more stamped to fill the spaces.

I then inked up the edges with distress ink

and added a green eyelet to finish.

I hope you get time to join us.

Fun fold Birthday card

Front

Back

I have 5 fun fold cards to make for a customer, this is the second one.

So I thought I would have a go at a block card.

This is my first one and it physically hurt my brain to work out the measurements

for the size of card I needed lol. But once I got my head around it

I really enjoyed decorating it up.

The front is covered in daisies using Daisy Lane stamp set and punch.

The leaves are die cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies and coloured with ink.

I have added some card candi to the centres.

The papers are from a freebie during Sale-a-bration set last year.

Inside I have cut some butterflies using Brilliant Wings dies.

The little ladybirds are from Nitwits.

Shutter Fold Card

Second post today!!

This is my midway project for Stamping Sensations

where the challenge is

anything goes stamping (option add some diecuts)

Just remember to STAMP, STAMP, STAMP!

We are sponsored by Oakwood Archer  this month

I decided to go with a fun fold card and lots of stamped

and die cut foilage!

The card itself uses a shutter fold die from Tattered Lace.

The papers are a retired Stampin' Up! set, card is rich razzleberry and

I have used Forever Fern stamps and Forever Flourishing dies

in Rich Razzleberry and Evening Evergreen colours.

The daisy is from Daisy Lane and has been stamped,

punched, layered and finished with a pearl.

All for baby!

It's the second week of Wendy's theme of

use some fabric over at

Tag Tuesday

I decided to go with a new baby tag and made

some little rolled flowers using pink felt.

The oval shape was cut from some retired papers and

I stamped the little stars in the background

using All For Baby stamp set.

The sentiment was stamped then punched using

my oval punch.

The flowers were glued in place with

some punched out leaves added.

I finished it off with a bow in stitched pink ribbon.

Birthday gift set

I had made this set for my daughter-in-law Baiba

for her birthday during December.

The card was made using Dressed to Impress

stamp set from Stampin' Up!.

The gable box comes ready made so I just stamped one of

the flowers from the Dressed to Impress set and coloured them

using daffodil delight blends.

The sentiment on the box is from Pink & Main.

Fabric at Tag Tuesday

Our new challenge at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by the lovely Wendy and she wants to see us use

some fabric on our tags.

I had a hunt then realised my fabric scraps are all out

in the garden house, probably buried under a mountain

of furniture and bags that my daughter has been storing

before she moves into her new house.

So I found some little organza bags and thought

they would do the job.

I used some retired papers for the tag,

mounted onto some kraft paper.

I stamped the sentiment and around the edges using

Sweet Ice Cream stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I stuck the back using double sided tape.

I made a loose band with sentiment to

go across the back and finished with some linen thread.

Perfect tag for added some birthday money to.

Birthday cake funfold

Back into crafting again now that things are settled I have

a bit more time on my hands.

So I had a variety of cards to make for one of my customers

for Birthdays and Mother's Day and this is one of them.

I have used a Tattered Lace Die for the card shape,

layered up with some retired papers from Stampin' Up!

The flowers have been stamped, punched and coloured using

Flowers of Friendship stamp and punch set.

The little banner was stamped using a set called

Banner Alpha from Pink & Main in calypso coral colours.

I added silver gems to the flowers and finished with some

silver ribbon and a cake cut from same paper pack.

The little candles behind the cake are from

Approaching Perfection stamp set from a Stampin' Up!

sale-a-bration freebie last year.

Moving Along with the Times - lady/girl

So we headed to Dublin airport at 6.30 yesterday, in the snow!

All went well but Charlie's first flight was delayed which

caused a knock on effect for her connecting flight in Chicago,

which she missed.😓 Her luggage went missing and she had to get

another flight booked for 6 hours later that evening.

So she spent a long evening keeping in touch and keeping

everything crossed that she would reach her next destination.

And she did, finally, in the early hours of this morning, she landed

in Kansas where her friend was waiting for her.

AND her luggage turned up! Apparently it didn't miss the

connecting flight, go figure!!

But she is safe and happy and we can now relax again!

 

Tick tock!

I have another tag for Michele's challenge over at

Tag Tuesday

where the theme is clocks/time.

After much searching I am realising that I only have one clock stamp!

So out came that set called Chronology

and and this time I used three different ink colours to stamp the clock.

I punched a few ovals using my oval punch and

stamped the sentiment with some cogs and added some ribbon behind.

I thought the whole tag lacked a bit of texture so

I added some 3d paint through a stencil.

I finished it off with an eyelet.

I hope you get time to join us.

We have been hibernating for about a week or so now

as our daughter is heading to USA on Friday and we

are afraid of carrying covid into the house.

We are all vaccinated but we just don't want to take any chances,

and ruin her trip.

She will be away for two weeks and I will be counting the days

till she gets back, hopefully COVID free!!

 

Happy New Year

Well we made it to 2022 and so our January challenge begins at

Stamping Sensations

and the theme is

anything goes stamping with the option of  adding dies.

We have a great prize up for grabs!

Prize is a £25 prize package from Oakwood Archer.

So hope you can get your stamps out and have a go.

My card was really me just having fun with my inks lol.

Forgive the photo, I will try and get a better one.

I used a Hot off the press stamp called Feathers.

Stamped in memento. I added some little stars from the same

set and a few corners which I added some doodling to.

I highlighted some parts of the feathers with a silver pen

and finished with a silver twine bow.

The background was made using shades of orange,

yellow and red inks from Stampin' Up!
