Flowers and Butterflies

Hello it's Tuesday once again and I am back with another card to share today.  Today I have been playing with some stamps, papers and embellishments from Clare Curds Crafts and have made my DT card for her crafty shop blog.  It is a simple card as I must admit I am struggling with my card making but I have been stamping, cutting and sticking.....

I have mat and layered a sheet of patterned paper 

onto some card stock from stash

Then layered some lace and ribbon also from the shop 

Stamped and die cut the flower image

Finished off with some of Clare's flowers and a 

stamped sentiment and cut out some butterflies all from the shop

I have used....

 Shaped Cards

Dolled up and no image in sight......

Hello crafters, Tuesday is here once again and yes I have another simple card to share for Clare Curds Crafts....

I wish there were more hours in the day where I could make some really pretty projects but life is hectic to have time to create at present but I really do hope you like seeing my simple but bright and colourful cards :)

So here is my card for today, I've challenged myself to make a card without an image but have used some lovely papers and embellishments......

I have used My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up Papers, 

which I love as they are so cheerful

and I have tried to use lots of embellishments as that's what my DT post is,

hope this is ok, hehe.....

I have used some of Clare's lovely flowers as a little bouquet

Some ribbon and lace and the 

stamped sentiment set called punchable labels

which is fab for a quick sentiment

Have a good day!

Summer Days.....

Tuesday is here once again and still haven't got around to creating loads and blog commenting.....

I do have a card to share for Clare Curd Crafts so thats a good thing,
I think, I'm heading in the right direction.....

 I have some more fab papers, a stamp set and embellishments to share

So here is my card for today something a little summery, bright and cheerful.

I have used Summer Days 6x6 paper pack by Prima, 

this is a really lovely stack of papers, with lots of flowers, 

birds and swirly summer writing and squigles

I have stamped the tree and bird in 3 parts using 

Marion Emberson Build a Tree Stamp Set

Could not resist adding some Clare Curd Crafts Perfect Paper Flowers too

And I've made a little crochet bow, 

but thinking now I should have turned it into a butterfly....

Hope you like my summery card,

Have a good day!

Boy Crazy.....

Morning, I am really bad at blogging it is really shocking, really need to get my act together and get back into the swing of it, I need a right shake up!!!!!!

But........ It's Tuesday's embellishment inspiration.... 

I have been playing with papers and buttons for today's share all from Clare's shop 

and could not resist something bright and cheerful for a boy card.

I have used some fab boy paper called Boy Crazy by My Minds Eye, 

Clare also has some stamps and stickers that co-ordinate with these papers

I have also added some embellishments and tried not to 

make it too girly by adding some buttons these are also 

from the shop and some dotty ribbon

In the paper pack there are some sentiment panels

 which I have cut out and layered

and I've cut out some little pictures out of the paper sheets

and used 3d sticky squares to add dimension

Hope you like today's simple and colourful card!

Birds and trees........

Morning, here's my DT card for Clare Curd Crafts,  I have been playing with stamps and some lovely papers which I've purchased from Clare's shop and could not resist something bright and cheerful today.

  I have used the Birds and Trees stamp set (link below) 

I think they are really cute and funky!

I don't think I need to explain how I made this card
as I just randomly stamped the images to build a picture with different memento ink colours and mat and layered onto some lovely Spring Fling papers by Teresa Collins

 Hope you like these simple colourful cards

Simple colourful cards .........

Morning,  I really can't believe another week has gone by and I haven't been very crafty at all, time seems to be flying by way too quick and I'm so disorganised lately...... Really need to spend more time crafting instead of thinking about crafting and looking at crafty pretties I really need to be more proactive!

So here are some simple colourful DT cards for Clare Curd Crafts 

I have been playing with some more new stamps purchased from 

Clare's shop and could not resist given CAS cards another go!

 

 I fancied making some bright summery simple cards. 

I have mixed and matched both sets of stamps

 called Build a Tree and Birds and Trees (link below) 

I think they are really cute and funky!

I don't think I need to explain how I made these cards
as I just randomly stamped the images with different memento ink colours

 Hope you like these simple colourful cards

CAS cards with Stamps.....

Morning, I'm sooooooo sorry I haven't blogged in a while or been to visit your blogs, I just don't know where time is going honestly I am so disorganised it's even driving me mad.......

First I need to apologies I totally forgot to post last Tuesday's Embellishment 

post over at Clare Curd Crafts I have been away with the fairies.....

So today I have something a little different from my usual full on packed cards, I have been having a go at some CAS cards not sure if they work or not but really fancied a change.

So here they are I have made 4 CAS cards and a quick tag too

I just wanted to have a go with what I would call accessories stamps 

and see if I could make some embellishments and cards with them

 

Sorry pic not too good on these, my light and camera is playing up......

and a quick and simple thank you tag to add on to a gift!

Hope you like them, sorry for the not so good pics too.

I really like these stamp sets and perfect for some quick CAS cards!
