Black & Red

quick easy card today

 

 

 

card blank is cut from a sheet of black card 5½ by 11 inches

let me know if you need a template with the measurements and cut lines and make one and post it on here.

 

I used an old book page covered in glamour dust for the background but it doesn't show too well in the photo, it looks so pretty in real life. I used mod podge to stick the page to a sheet of card first to make it stronger.

 

dies used were memorybox fresh foliage and poppystamps blooming posie.

both available from www.oysterstamps.co.uk

 

 

this was a very quick and easy card but I like the end result.

 

thanks for stopping by.

Baby Boy

Hi, I'm here with another baby card today

 

I used the Marianne die for the base and spellbinders fancy tags2.

 

the sentiment is Our Daily Bread baby boy set

 

I added some stickles all over the sentiment to give it a little sparkle

and the flowers were made using poppystamps Blooming Posie die

 

This is the inside of my card, I love this bunting, it is spellbinders Banner Basic2 and the letters are memorybox alphabet set.

I used an embossing folder for the pockets.

 

Why is it I never have the thing I need to complete a card tho? I needed baby blue twine but didn't have any so that is now added to my ever growing 'wants' list.

yes, I really do mean 'ever growing'! have you seen all the new stuff at oysterstamps? if you have you will understand my list.

new heartfelt creations are gorgeous and you know I love colouring in so I need some of those stamps.

the new nesties are to die for so they are on my list too, I deffo need new grand shape.

oh and I mustn't forget the Martha Stewart clay and molds.....and......Justrite stamps.... too much for me to list so pop over to Oysterstamps and have a look for yourself.

 

all dies used on my card came from oysterstamps.

 

thanks for stopping by.

Derwent coloursoft pencils

I've got a couple of things to show you today so i'll start with some pretty

pink flowers and ribbons

 

the picture does them no justice.

all these goodies were in the parcel that arrived today from the free draw I entered at the The ribbon girl. I'm going to alter a keepsake box and keep it for my dressing table so I can admire the flowers.

thank you to Mary and all at the ribbon girl.

 

next up is a card I made using black card.

 

 

I used my new derwent coloursoft pencils for this one and im pleased with the result. the pencils are so soft and creamy and a dream to use.

big thanks to my lovely hubby for treating me to them, he really does spoil me.

 

here is another card I made with the pencils

 

 

this time I used heartfelt creations aster script stamp set and spellbinders fanciful lattice die set.

im too happy with the texture of the watercolour paper so I'm on the look out for some nice smooth paper now.  I love the pencils and I'm off now to try them on kraft card. i'll be back tomorrow to show you how I get on.

 

thanks for stopping by today.

yay its my 1st birthday today!

I've been a member of the Oysterstamp design team for one whole year today. boy has it flown by.

I've loved every minute of it and I'm so proud to be part of such a talented team.

 

 

so.....

I asked myself, how's the best way to spend my special day?

crafting of course!

 

and here is my card....

 

I love this stampendous snowbird stamp so much and can't bare to think of only using it at Christmas so I came up with a new design for it.

cherry blossom.

 

I added flowers and used impression obsession bare tree die for the branches.

 

the frame is spellbinders gold majesty circles die set, a little spun sugar distress ink made the image really pop.

 the card base is made using spellbinders grand labels dies.

 

I'm blaming the dark weather for the poor photos, it cant be my phototgraphy skills LOL
