Happy Easter & Gorgeous Fuschias

Happy Easter everyone.  It's a cold but sunny one for us with some snow still on the ground.

This card was made with Creative Crafts Decoupage stamp.  I love these stamps as you can build them up and give a 3d effect to your card.  My stamps has been coloured in with pro markers and the backing papers are Memory Box 'Viola' and Wild Rose Studio 'Butterfly Garden'.  I love that roses background paper.  The sentiment is computer generated and the butterfly was made using a die.  The ribbon and pearls are just little bits I had in my stash.

Thank you so much for looking - have a wonderful day :0)

Happy Birthday Army Dude Brandon

Well, it was my Son's 7th birthday on the 21st March and I'm a bit late showing this, but better late than never :0)

Brandon wanted an army card so I searched for Army in Crafts-U-Print and found this little kit.  It had decoupage soilder, backing papers and different elements.  I chose all that I needed and assembled this A5 card.  The lettering is just silver peel offs coloured with permanent markers and the round elements have glossy accents added to them, to give a raised, shiny, badge like effect to them.

Needless to say, Brandon loved his card.

Thanks very much for looking and enjoy the rest of the day :0) Michelle

Up Right Z Fold Card with Pretty Butterflies

Good morning all - hope you are having a good day.  We still have snow stuck to the ground, but I'm not bothered as used to it now and besides my son loves it!!

Anyhow I found through a blog owned by Coops Cluttered Corner a fantastic tutorial to make an upright Z easel card the link is HERE  .

I had such fun making this card.  The mechanism (circle & brad) holds the card upright, as without it the back just falls away.

I used a digi stamp I found on Pinterest and coloured in with my promarkers.  The papers are Prima and Crate Paper.  The flowers are WOC and the ribbon, brad and glitter are just from my stash.  The leaves I made with a Marther Stewart border punch.

Thank you so much for looking :0)  Michelle

Hoppy Easter & Snow - LOTS of Snow

Good morning all - as you can see we have a ton of snow here - actually we have snow drifts - my son Brandon's loving it as his School is still closed.  At this moment in time he is happily playing upstairs with his friend Jack.

My card is for my mum.  It's an LOTV image coloured with promarkers.  The backing papers are Pink Petticoat digitals, the flowers and brads I've had for ever, the sentiment is a freebie from a mag, the ribbon is from Mei Flower Crafts.

Thank you for looking and keep warm !! :0)  Michelle

Hannah Lynn Butterfly Keeper

Hi everyone - hope you have all had a good day.

This card is using a my new rubber stamp - Hannah Lynn, Butterfly Keeper.  I know she has been out for a long time, but she is always sold out when I try to buy it from Crafts and Me.  But never mind, I have now lol.

I coloured her in with my pro markers and the circle bit I added glossy accents sprinkled with glitter.

The papers are Spring papers from Cardmaking and Papercrafting magazine.  You should go and buy this issue, cos these papers are beautiful, plus there are some free sentiments thrown in too.

The sentiment is computer generated and the flowers and gems are just from my stash.

Finally, I used a pretty corner die.

Thank you so much for looking :0) Michelle

Sweet Mother's Day Teddy

A very good morning to you all :0)

I have here, another Mother's Day card.  The image is Wild Rose Studio Milton Teddy (coloured with pro markers), and I have a few Milton Teddy stamps as I find them really versatile for different occasions.  I think the papers are My Mind's Eye, but quite old collection of papers.  The ribbon and charm are from Mei Flower Crafts and the sentiment is Dovecraft stamps.

Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely weekend.

Happy Mother's Day

Good wet and rainy morning to you all.

I made this card at a cardmaking workshop held in Poole's Cavern, Buxton, which I really enjoyed attending.  Can't wait for the next one.
The image is a Kanban image and Jo who held the class, had us make our own background paper using sequin waste and distress ink (Tim Holtz).  I have added some glossy accents to the rose petals.

Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.
