2 NEW CARDS

Made these 2 cards this afternoon sat at my window in beautiful sunshine. I kept the design the same as the last 2 cards that I did, as I really like the simple layout.

I really love the colours on this one as its so vibrant!!
I raised the flower etc on 3d foam pads - (will cost a small fortune to send in the post - hahehahe)

I used DCWV Mat Stack Brights and also DCWV Paper Pack - matchmakers 2

Ummmm. This one I'm not too sure on the colours or the flower (I think it looks fat and also too busy). For the stem I twisted some ribbon.


I used DCWV Retro Prints Paper stack and also DCWV Brights Mat Stack.

It was also nice being able to take photos in the sunshine rather than late at night as i usually do.

FORGOT TO SAY - Over on Just Bex forum they are having a Big Challenge Week starting tonight.

TONIGHTS CARDS

Got my craft stuff out again tonight, as hubby was making Millionaire shortcake with the kids. Have to say, just had a bit and it was YUMMY!!!!

The first card is near enough the same as the one from the other day - same style just different paper and image. Very simple to do and quick (the way i like them).



Well here is another 'mans' card - thought I better make another to go with the star one from today. I created the tie and stuck some patterned paper on it, then layered it. The paper is once again from the Dovecraft Masculine pack.





AND here is a shot of my crafting space - I did take it today but never got round to loading the piccy. Have to say this is quite tidy for me and it only shows you a third of my table. The storage boxes are from Woolworths and they are great little things.

ONLY HAVING A PLAY

Just had a little play about this morning with these two cards. I know they arent the best in the world. But as I say, I was having a little play.



The ADORE bit and flourish were printed off on my computer - and the paper is from Papermania???



This one I used the same coloured card to make up all the bits, but somehow the blue is darker than the actual card base (its the same card as I cut up another one to do the bits). Scratching my head over this one!!!



Used my quickutz dies and sizzix, for the bits.



I better get going as I have the table (my crafty space) to clear up and get started on dinner. Catch you all later x

SUNDAY PEACE & QUIET

Well, for a couple of hours.

Hubby took the kids out today to give me some quiet in the house. They have been manic this weekend and I was ready for pulling my hair out. He told me to make some cards or stuff - so, I didn't feel guilty about having all my craft stuff all over the dining room table.



I managed to make 4 cards , 2 baby ones and 2 general cards. I used the new Dovecraft pack that I bought yesterday and I really like the paper I used. I also used a few brads, and the studio g stamps, which I then doodled a border round. The ribbon on the general cards are from Woolworths, and the ribbon on the baby cards I bought yesterday.



For the baby cards I used the Baby Dovecraft paper pack, which I cut out the cute elephant image, I also used my cuttlebug to emboss the card behind it. The ribbon was bought yesterday.



Sorry again for the bad quality pictures but once again taken this evening. Thanks for looking :)

WOO HOO

I am on a card making streak.

I made some more cards last night which brings my total up to 17. I can't remember the last time I made so many cards. I have had a great time making them.




I have now bagged them up ready to be sold. My dad has said he will buy 4 off me and hopefully the rest will go with my best mate to her work and see if she can sell some for me.



UPDATE

Went to the doctors yesterday about my knee. He gave me information sheets about Osteoarthritis Of The Knee and also prescribed me Dicloflex to help with inflammation and pain. He has also told me to exercise my Quadriceps Muscles at the front of my thigh.
If it doesn't get any better, he said that i would have to make an appointment to see the physiotherapist. So fingers crossed doing the exercises will help the problem.

HOPE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN

YES - I have made some cards



Because the weather was REALLY bad today - rain and more rain - I thought I would have a play about and do some cards.



They were really quick to do and I have to say I LUV them little STUDIO G stamps. I am really bad at stamping but these little things are great. I bought them from ArtyMiss.



Some of the papers are from the DCWV Adhesive Paper Prints Pad and the others are from my LCS - and once again I dont know who the maker is (no name)



Sorry for the state of the piccies but I took them earlier when I had no natural light.

FINISHED

Well I have just finished making the box and the last card for the set.

I am really happy with the way it turned out as I have never made a box in this style before. It took me a bit of working out but I finally got there in the end.

I wasnt asked to do this for anyone it was more of a challenge for myself. I have never made a card set before let alone a box like this. So I can say I am pleased as punch!

The box was made using the same card as the paler brown cards, I used Kelly Panacci paper to cover the front so it matches and I also attached ribbon on the back so that it can be tied at the front.

TURKISH DELIGHT

Well thats what hubby said the brown and pink one reminded him of. And I think the pale brown and green reminds me of Chocolate Limes. Yummy!

I was sat the other night with my dining room table covered in stuff trying to think of a set of cards to make and came up with these. I still have another chocolate and pink one to do and then I have a set. Then hopefully I will be able to make a holder for them to sit in.

I decoupaged the paper and raised it using 3d foam pads and the tags where printed on the computer and cut out.


Papers are by Kelly Panacci, Brown Card and Ribbons - LCS
Green Bazzill Card - Capture The Magic
Anna Griffin - Chocolate and Green Inks for the edges and tags
