Prima dolls again! (Part One)

Hello all. Anyone who visits my blog will know that I am a huge fan of Julie Nutting Prima doll stamps. I made a set of Thank You cards over the summer using these stamps and here are the first three (I will share the remaining three tomorrow). It is so much easier to take photographs in the summer!

First Birthday Wishes!

Good evening all! Tonight's card was made a few weeks ago for a family friend. I usually use pinks for female birthday cards but I thought I would try a different colour palette for a change and I do like it. The elephant is a Woodware stamp which I stamped and embossed and then paper pieced. I love using Woodware stamps and have sorted out my Christmas stamps to use over the next few weeks.

Exciting news!

Hello all! I cannot believe that it has been 3 months since I last posted! I have been creating and I have some really exciting news to share with you in the next few weeks, Today's card was made for my Mum's friend who achieved an A* in her Italian GCSE. I wanted to use the colours of the Italian flag and I printed out the A* in a Word document to use as a template. I've also started making my Christmas cards so I will share these on my blog over the coming weeks.

Love

Hello, hope you have all had a good day! Tonight's card was for my sister and her husband who were celebrating their wedding anniversary. I used the docrafts Papermania Bellissima collection. I love the colours in this collection and it is very versatile so can be used for a range of occasions. I used 3D foam pads for the decoupage. The scallop border is a Martha Stewart punch and I used twine to attach the sentiment. I am currently decorating a picture frame with this collection so I will share some photographs as soon as it is completed.

More thank you cards

Good evening all! It's been a busy week being the school holidays but we are having a lovely time! These are the cards that I made for my older daughter's teachers at school and I'm pleased to say that they really liked them. I am finding a bit more time to craft lately so will be back soon with some more cards, x

Thank You Teacher

Hello all! It's been a while again since I last blogged but it is now the start of the school holidays so I am hoping to find a bit more crafty time. I have a few makes to share over the next few days. These are the cards that I made for the staff at my daughter's nursery. I can't believe that my youngest daughter is starting school in September, time really does fly by! The image is a digi stamp which I have had for years but it is great for this type of card. I'll be back tomorrow to share the cards that I made for my older daughter's school teachers. Enjoy your evening!

Mixed Media fun!

Good evening everyone! Today I've had a great time at Pink Tulip Creations. Fran Westmoreland was leading a mixed media workshop and I absolutely loved the class and the end product! We used a variety of different Prima products including pastes, gels, sprays and mica powders (all of which are now on my ever increasing wish list, wish my birthday was sooner!). I loved the techniques and styles and I will definitely be doing more of this type of crafting in the future.
