I used a paper from the silhouette store as the main background, and the gorgeous spotty paper is by papermania. 

 The tags are also from the silhouette store. I also used some papermania buttons and twine along with some spotty washi tape to finish the card off. Of course I had to put some stitching on the card as it felt bare without it :)

Thank you for stopping by my blog today I hope you have a great weekend :)

Hugs

Hello crafty friends, I hope your week is going good! Halloween is my favourite time of year and I just love all the cute & spooky embellishments. I would love to go and visit America at this time of year as they seem to go nuts with Halloween :) I wish we did the same in the UK.

I made this card using designs by dani as  I just adore the sweet papers and monsters.

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenge:

Fall card

Hello crafty friends, I hope your all having a good week. Where is this month going? I was dreading autumn to be honest after the lovely weather and sunny days but it only took a few days for me to fall in love with it again, I just love all the pretty browns & oranges. I can't believe how cold it's turned all of a sudden and the nights are getting darker.... More cosy nights in :)

And then of course there will be Halloween soon yay!!

So I was excited to see the shabby tea room host an autumn card and this is my entry. 

shabby tea room challenge week #188

I used a polkadot paper as my background and hand stitched around the edges. The pumpkin and fall stamp are by unity stamps and I thought they would match  perfectly for the challenge.

The leaf was die cut along with the branch using the cameo, and the other two leaves I used my Marianne die.

I finished off the card with two buttons and some twine. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week.

See you soon

Two mice & a snail

Hello crafty friends can you believe we are nearly in October already? Where did September go?

I'm away this week but i thought I would share a card I made recently using penny black stamps, I have seriously fallen in love with the stamps and they are so cute to colour too!

I used my aqua markers to colour these in, and added a bit of washi tape and a button.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I will be back soon :)

Have a lovely week

This card took a long time to make as I got extremely carried away with my hand stitching and flowers he he.

 

I wanted to make a card that would suit different occasions get well/sympathy, as I never seem to have a card on hand when needed. Well I probably do but most of my cards seems to hide when I need them, or maybe I just need to get more organised :)  

 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a fantastic week.
