Lili of the Valley

Another Lili of the Valley card.  I've been craving cake all week and it's probably because of this card!

As the weather has turned cold again I thought I'd dig out this Maggie stamp.  I love the purple card - it's a big change from the white cards I normally use.  The floral card is DCWV. Maggie is coloured with ProMarkers.

U ATC

Here's the ATC I have made for the 'U' stage of our challenge.  I used this great stamp from Elzybells and coloured it with ProMarkers.  The background is a Sissix Embossing Folder.  I used the title 'Under dressed'!

Sugar Nellie Fishing

I made this card at the request of a colleague.  The stamp is from Sugar Nellie and is coloured with ProMarkers (as always).  The papers are from MME and the number is cut with the Olivia plates from Cuttlebug.

ATC Alphabet Swap - T

T for Travel.  Struggling for the rest of the alphabet now!  Suggestions welcome.

Knitted Easter Chicks

Easter chicks or ugly ducklings?  I love these hairy chicks.  I used exactly the same pattern as the yellow chicks, but they look so different.  I googled 'Knitted Easter Chick' and got the free pattern.

Baby Girl Card

This Penny Black stamp is always a favourite when it come to new baby cards (or Christening cards).  I used my favourite Martha Stewart punch for the border and nestabilities for the lacy circles.

Golden Wedding Card

I made this card at the request of a colleague.  Wedding Invites to Golden Wedding in two posts!

Wedding Invites

Invitations finished and delivered!  I really enjoyed making the invitations for my niece and her fiance.  Here's a few pictures of them.  The cats loved standing guard!

Angry Birds Birthday Card #angrybirds

I can't get enough of Angry Birds on my iPhone.  My nephew loves it too and I thought this birthday card was so appropriate!

Tim's Sizzix Flowers

A very simple card made with Tim Holtz flowers die from Sizzix.  Papers ar MME.

The Chosen Wedding Invitation

This is the Wedding Invitation my niece and her fiance have chosen.  This is the picture of the prototype.  The final one will have a printed tag.  I don't think I'd ever have chosen purple, but I think it works really well.  The ribbon I used here was from my stash - the real one will have a white ribbon.

ATC Alphabet Swap

Can't believe we are on S already with our ATC Alphabet swap.  I thought there would be so many things to use for 'S' but when it came down to it I struggled to think of a theme.  I went for 'swirls'. I love this Hero Arts swirly stamp.  The face stamp is one I used for a card I had featured in Craft Stamper a while ago.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to stamp with.

Gorjuss Girl

Gorjuss Girl stamp from Funky Kits.  Background papers from Bo Bunny.  Punched lace - Martha Stewart.  Ribbon - Anita's.
