Birthday Book

 
 
 

I downloaded the pages for this book from Nichole Headys blog here. I printed them on SU' whisper white and stuck them on to Papertrey 'aqua mist' card. Instead of envelopes for the backs of the pages I used SU 'bashful blue' card and folded and stuck them down at the edges to hold stamps and addressed envelopes etc. These were edged with spotted paper from SU.I then cut strips of green card and punched with Fiskars 'Threading water puch' and sandwiched them between, sticking the front and back of the pages together. The covers were covered with Basic Grey papers and the letters were diecuts also from BG. I Modged Podged the front and back to add protection from handling. I used a 1 inch binding wire in my BIA which was a perfect size for all 12 pages - I was worried my book was going to be too thick!! All credit for this simple to make book must go to Nicole - Thanks Nicole! My Other half was impressed and asked me to make him a garden planner and an address book!! Thanks for taking the time to visit xx

Hugs

Lots to do Forum send happy tags and hug tags to members who need them I have been a recipient of some of the hug tags and it was lovely to know peeps were thinking of me. So I have made a couple of hug tags to put into the bank on LTD forum as it needs replenishing. Inspired by a project in this months Craftstamper. I stippled distress inks on to water colour paper and stamped Odd birds planet Florabunda flower ( one of my faves ) onto newspaper using black soot and embossed with crystal EP. The butterfly from Elusive images - my all time fave butterfly! was stamped as before on to vellum which I coloured with distress inks. Backgound was stamped with Elusive image leaves ( bought in half price sale at my local shop ) using dusty concord and the sentiment was from a set by Stampin Up! Thanks for visiting xx

Quick and Easy!

 

I am pleased with the way this card turned out. It took next to no time to make - just die cuts with my Cricut and Cuttlebug, a flower and some brads, the ribbon slide was from my local craft shop and voila card done! It's got to be one of the quickest cards I've ever made ( I have been know to take all day! Seeing as my first attempts usually end up in the bin!) thanks for stopping by xx

Baby Girl Card

My Niece had her first baby last week, a little girl named Caitlin, so I have made her this card. The stamp is Tingla ( Tildas little girl ) by Magnolia and I coloured her with Caran De Arche water soluable wax crayons. I die cut letters on my Cricut and the circles were cut with Nestabillities in my Cuttlebug. Paper is from Bo Bunny. I am pleased with how it turned out. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking xx
