Double Post


Our May challenge has started over at
and the theme is feminine along with anything goes.

Of course we have a fabulous prize up for grabs from
John Next Door stamp and dies from Grafton Crafts,
a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop
offering fee p&p on all orders over £15

For my card this week I used some scrap papers
from my stash then tied them all together with pink
card. I embossed a piece of the card with a dotty
embossing folder and used a piece of sandpaper
to remove the colour off the dots then fitted it
into my design layout.
The image is from Stamping Bella stamps, Uptown Girls.
I stamped and coloured them up with markers.
Cut them with a square die and added some ribbon and
bakers twine before mounting onto some pink card.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set
and cut it up for the front.
I finished the card with some pink dots.

Our May challenge over at
has started and the theme is 
four legged friends/anything goes.

We have two fabulous prizes up for grabs
 of Lavinia Stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.
I made this card for my daughter's birthday as she
has three cats at home.
I used some paper from my stash, mounted onto
black card.
I cut myself four squares using my dies,
one in black, one in white and stamped my cats
using a set called Love Cats (SU).
I used the centre square to add my sentiment
and name and then arranged them all
on my DL card.
I finished it off with some card candi
and a bakers twine bow.

I hope you get time to join us in both challenges!

Sporty funfold card





Friday again!!
The time is flying way to fast for my liking.
Today's card is for the 3rd birthday of the month
and it's for my second eldest son DeĆ”glan's  birthday
which is today!!
He is all in to triathlons so that's the theme I went with.

The stamp sets used are mostly retired ones bar
Alphabest, Basic Border dies and postage stamp punch.
I went with a rectangle pop up box card this time.
I have made square ones before but never the rectangle
and it was just as easy to make lol.

Day at the farm...





Happy Monday.
My card today is a tent fold swing card.
It is made for a child and I will add the age to the space in the centre.
Perfect for a little boy or girl who loves farm animals.
The animals have all been hand cut from the papers
and I used layering rectangles for the frames.
These papers are free with a £45 spend during Sale-a-bration!


I have left the back area blank so I can add a personalised
birthday verse.

This is the side view, showing the swing part in the centre.
I do have a tutorial over in my VIP Group.

Have a few orders to get sorted and as hubby going to golf
I have the day to myself.
Have a great week everyone.

Labour of love!


I had a request from a customer for a funfold card for a
70th birthday.
So I decided to make an a5 version of this.
Nearly blew my brain trying to work out the cuts and folds lol
but I got there in the end.


This is the back, with lots of space for a long verse.

I am heading out today with my beautiful daughter for coffee
and a bit of shopping. Always get excited when we get
time together!!
Enjoy your day.

Diamond Easel Fold




I had a card to make for my Mother-in-law's birthday
this week and as one of her presents is a fox ornament for the garden,
I thought I would tie the card in with it.

I always like to make a special shaped card for her so
went with the diamond fold easel card.
I did make her one of these before for Christmas so hope
she doesn't remember šŸ˜
The papers are plaid tidings, sadly retired along with a
stamp set from Sale-a-bration.
The fox has been coloured using my water colour pencils
and blender pen.

Had a day off yesterday as my IBS raised it's ugly head.
Still struggling with that sicky feeling but hopefully it will
clear away today!
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Mini Miura Card Fold




When I saw Valery's challenge this time over at
her card fold was called a Mini Miura.
I had never heard of it so had to have a go.
Valery gives all the measurements and instructions
on her blog so be sure and pop over.

I followed the instructions and made a video tutorial
for my VIP Group.
Struggled here and there lol but got there in the end.
 
For my card I have used
Butterfly Bijou papers
2" and 1 3/4" circle punches

I am entering this into
followed the fold, butterfly and mandarin,
Love is like a butterfly - Dolly Parton

We are off this afternoon with our son to do some
house viewings.
He and his wife are looking to move closer
to home, which is brilliant!
We will have all our children close to us again!
One living at home, one next door, another 5 mins away
and now Milo, hopefully about 5 mins away too!
Think I never cut my apron strings šŸ˜‚
Have a lovely weekend.

Geared Up Birthday Card


My VIP Customer tutorial today shows how
I created this background using scraps of paper
from the Brights pack of papers.

It's the first time I have tried this pattern
so lessons were learned along the way lol.
But I do love the bright papers against the black background.
This card is for my Mother-in-law's Grandson
who loves his cars.

I have used:
Geared Up Garage (on sale and retiring soon)
Silver Embossing Powder
black and silver ribbon

I would like to enter this into

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
