Whimsical Flowers

Today, I have a few more matching cards and Artist Trading Cards. 

For these ones, I used the Whimsical Flowers from Laurie Furnell Ink. Not sure what it is about these designs, but I love them.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

When life gives you lemons....

Today, I would like to share an Artist Trading Card and a matching card. I made these for a swap. When ever I do an Artist Trading Card swap, I always try to make a matching card. 

For these ones I used a digital stamp set from Gracielle Designs - Tea from the Soul Set . I love all of Gracie's designs - they are so versatile.

I love the way it turned out.

Movie themed Card

I joined a swap where the theme was "Movies". 

I found this clip art on Etsy (unfortunately it's no longer available).

I printed it out and layered some of the images. 

I really love the way it turned out.

Cocoa Vanilla....

Today, I would like to share a card with you - I can't remember what the name of the card is, I did it quite a while a go for a swap. If I remember the name - I'll come back and edit the post.

I used Cocoa Vanilla papers for it. I love how it worked out.

Craft Room Theatre Card

Today I would like to share with you a theatre card. 

I used the stamps from The Greeting Farm - Build a Craftroom set (https://thegreetingfarm.com/collections/digital-images/products/build-a-craftroom-digi-set) for the background. 

I originally saw the you tube tutorial by Sam Calcott - Mixed Up Crafts - she did a landscape style of a theatre card - https://youtu.be/peu95xJlDUw . I then found a you tube tutorial on how to do a portrait style - for the life of me, I can't remember who is was. If I remember, I'll link it here.

Any way, I hope you like the card.

Technical Issues

Hi everyone, please bear with me. Over the weekend my external hard drive failed - it's where I have been storing my photos, craft things etc. I have learnt a valuable lesson - make sure you back up files. 

The external hard drive has been given to a company to recover and restore the files. It won't be back until the end of the week. 

I'll try and see if I have photos of other projects that I can share with you. 

Thanks for understanding.

Purple Dress

Today, I would like to share with you a card that I made for our daughter's friend. I've had the girl die in my stash for quite awhile - not sure which brand it is. I originally cut the girl out in white and then cut it out again in the metallic purple. I then cut the dress part out and glued it on to the white girl die cut.

The Happy Birthday embossing folder has to be one of my favourites. I seem to use it for birthdays all the time, especially when I don't want to use a Birthday stamp.

Hope you like it.

Jurassic Park Mad

We have a daughter who loves everything about dinosaurs. She can rattle of details about them. 

For her 15th birthday, I wanted to make something special for her. I found some Jurassic Park clip art on Etsy that worked perfectly for the card. The papers I had in my stash - I'm pretty sure the paper was from Kaisercraft.

I followed a tutorial by Jan B Cards - it's called No 565 Fanciest Fancy Fold Card - here is the link to the tutorial https://youtu.be/SQAlcLVM1Mo .

Here is my card.

She absolutely loved the card.

Beach Theme Canvases

I'm back....I had a really bad case of the flu, which knocked me around a bit. Also have had family visit, which was awesome to catch up with them again after the COVID lockdowns etc.

Today, I have 2 canvases to share with you. I have never done anything like this before. I had no idea what I was doing. 

I love fussy cutting images. Came across some stunning papers from Studio 73 - Seaside Serenity Collection. I just love the images.

I also love pelicans and lighthouses.

Here are my two canvases....
