A kept promise

Hello everyone!

As promised last week I told you I would show my mams birthday cards which I made.  She had a lovely day and loved her cards which I was very pleased about.  I created two very different cards and I really enjoyed making them.  I have also been busy this week making lots of stock up for my craft fair which is creeping closer!  I have photos up on my Facebook page and my Etsy shop.  Also don't forget I have entered the Ohh Deer competition and need your help to win, my links are in last weeks post.

The first was pink card with a white border and pink heart and happy birthday sentiment.

I hole punched lots of little flowers in different shades of pink before gluing them into the shape of a heart.  I then added "Happy Birthday to my Amazing Wife" to the side of the card and 2 pink rhinestones.  I also added a few little pink rhinestones to the flowers on the heart.  The card was left blank inside.

The second was a very basic colour scheme of beige and black.

I layered the card so I had beige then black then beige which I then placed 2 die cut black butterflies on, I added 3 small silver rhinestones to the middle of each butterfly.  I love the simplicity of this card.  I added an Happy Birthday sentiment inside.

Hope you've all had a brilliant week and enjoy reading my post.

See you all next week.
Bye for now!

Sneaky post!

Hello everyone!

I know I don't normally post on a Saturday but I am wanting to share some images of a competition I entered and I kind of need your help to win it!

I entered a competition on Ohh Deer which was to design 3 cushions which could potentially be sold on their website should I win.  Now here is where you lovely lot come into it... to win the competition I need to sell as many cushions as possible to show my design is right for their website.  I'll post a link to each of my cushions alongside the designs which I am going to show you now.  If you don't want to purchase my cushions could you please just pass the message on? Thank you in advance!!

Working hard

Hello everyone!

I've been working very hard this week and have barely had a chance to sit down and think but that is just how I like it.  It's my mam's birthday next week so I am making cards for her which I will share next week, until then I have a card to share with you now.

A Christmas card.

This card has a circle bauble cut and stamped with white ink and a snowflake stamp.  Green and red silk organza ribbon have been added to look like the string from the bauble.  Red card has been placed down the side and "It's Christmas Time" sentiment stamped in black.  Under the bauble 3 red rhinestones have been added and a "merry christmas" sentiment.  The card is blank inside for your own message.

Again take a look at my Etsy shop if you want to see some of the cards I have for sale.  My Facebook page has also got other products on.

I'm off to carry on with my preparation for the craft fair which is 6 weeks away!  Exciting times!!

Bye for now!

Cards, cards and cards

Hello everyone!

This week I have been busy making some more cards ready for my craft fair in November, not long to go now and I am so excited, hope your all going to come and visit the stall (will post details soon).

Some of my favourites that I have made this week...

I hole punched my little flowers gradually using a darker blue card to work up the card and added the sentiment "Birthday Treats".

Using a die cut butterfly I glued it onto white card and stamped the "Happy Birthday!" sentiment before adding silver rhinestones to the butterfly.

I hole punched hearts from different shades of orange card and placed them into the shape of a heart before adding a single gold rhinestone to the centre.

All my cards are very simple this week but I have really enjoyed making them rather than using my usual style of bold!  Hope you've liked them too.  Don't forget I am selling on Etsy now too.  Also other cards which I have made are on my Facebook page if you'd like to see them.

Bye for now!
