Many happy returns skull card

Hi how is everyone enjoying the summer so far? I have been so excited watching the Olympics which surprised me as sport is not something i usually like to watch but it's really grabbed me this time.

Anyhow I said in an earlier blog post how I have a thing for these cute skulls which were cut with the cameo. I just love them! I added a flower to this one to girly it up.

The notepaper was also printed and cut with the cameo and also the borders.

I actually hand stitched the white card outer edge as I'm terrible using a sewing machine :)

Of course I added handmade flowers to the card too!

I hope you all enjoy your day and if your watching the Olympics too good luck. Thanks for stopping by my blog and if there are any questions about the card or products used please feel free to ask me.

Have a great day!!

Deer and flowers card~Shabby tea room week 124

Hi guys, oh my I have been so busy moving these past few weeks and didn't have time to blog! So I couldn't take not crafting for much longer and decided to make a card.

The deer is so sweet I had to use it on this card, it's actually printed off my cricut imagine. The speech bubble is from Cosmo cricket earth love which I then stamped the sentiment using hero arts stamps. As usual the flowers are handmade as you know I am obsessed with these right now.

I added a button and looped some thread through and added some material along the bottom of the card to finish it off.

I was really inspired making this card using the photo at shabby tea room as I love all the colours and this was my end result.

If you want to see loads of brilliant cards check out shabby tea room it's full of beautiful cards and ideas, I am entering this into their challenge this week.

Birdie card: shabby tea room challenge week 120

Hi there, over at the shabby tea room their challenge this week is soft and sweet. They have a beautiful photo at their blog to inspire you so here is my take on the challenge this week.

I used this bird image as its sweet and has soft colours which I just love. I used my cricut imagine to cut out the image, and decided to use a note book page die as my background. This was cut out on my cameo along with the handmade flowers. The stamped sentiment is from paper smooches and I just adore the font.

I also cut out a doily shape to use as a background element that the bird would be adhered to. I also decided to use a soft mesh along the card as I love having texture to my cards.

The shabby tea room has some amazing cards on their blog if you would like to have a look at:

Raccoon & squirrel birthday card

Hello there, how is your week going so far? I have had a really busy week as we're due to move in the next few days so that's why my blog has been a bit quiet lately, and of course I have an energetic 1 year old girl so it's been very busy and sometimes stressful. It's funny how moving can make you like that but anyhow onto the card:

I used my cricut imagine to cut out the raccoon & squirrel, and I also printed the cloud backing paper.

After adhering down the backing paper I then added the raccoon with 3D foam pads and placed them in the middle of my card. I cut a small strip of October afternoon card and placed this along the bottom of the backing paper.

My sentiment was stamped using a hero arts stamp. Of course I had to add my handmade flowers to the top of the card.

The large flowers were made with my cricut and the scallop border edge was cut out on my cameo machine.

Thank you for stopping by and any questions please ask thanks!

Huge cupcake birthday card

Hi again! This is my fourth card I made today for the paper smooches guest designer competition for July and I just adore this cupcake, thanks again Kim.

I coloured in this fantastic treat with my promarkers and I also hand stitched the border edge with a pink cotton thread, the stamped sentiment is from paper smooches.

I then added two buttons as I wanted to keep this card clean and simple.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and having a look at my cards,

See you soon,

Miss you bird digi stamp

Hi there, well I have been busy I decided to make another two cards for paper smooches guest designer blog. This bird is so sweet and again was a freebie from Kim's blog ( really thank you so much ). I love the little flower on him and I coloured him in with my promarkers, the speech bubble was cut out in my cameo and I stamped the miss you sentiment using smooches stamps. I have said it before but these stamps come out so clean and crisp they are perfect.

I actually hand stitched the border which took forever but I think it looks nice so was well worth the numb fingers :)

Again I made the rolled up flowers just to finish the card off.

Well I'm off to upload my last card and thank you for stopping by my blog, if there are any questions please ask many thanks,
