February cards.

I managed to make quite a few cards in February, there were a number of family birthdays, and Kaaren needed quite a few cards made for a craft show she was attending this weekend in Sydney.

For this very simple card I have used the feather stencil from the Bo Bunny Whimsy Stencil set, stenciling the feathers with ink.
I used one of the dies from the SW Australian Background to emboss the rectangle, the Happy Birthday is Spellbinders Sentiments 3.
A few random placed dots with Liquid pearls and some crystal adhesive gemstones coloured black with a marker.

This time I used molding paste on black card with the Bo Bunny feather stencil then added some glittery colour, and hand cut them out.

I created the background on this card with the Bo Bunny Whimsy Stencil set, I first inked it with one pink ink rotated the stencil then added another pink ink.

Hello Bloggers, I'm sorry for not having anything new to look at if you've visited lately. I seem to be working flat out but not accomplishing very much.

Below are three cards I made for FatCats Card Corner .

This one uses the new Cuttlebug Pinking Stitch Embossing folder with matching border.

I have cut small rectangles of three different papers and distressed around them with London fog Memento ink, my plan was to make it look like a patchwork quilt.

I then cut a strip of the same card stock and used the border folder first along one edge then the other.

The pretty leaves are the Flutter Vine Memory Box die

For this one I used the Crafters Workshop Chicken wire stencil (meant to represent a fishing net), and then embossed over it with the Fiskars texture plate Ocean.

I used the Marianne Creatables Lighthouse and Sea Shells to make my shaker card and used some sand from my grand daughters sandpit when they were little.

Some self-adhesive plaster board jointing tape, a self adhesive pearl swirl and  eyelets in the corners.  

For this card I used the Couture Creations Victorian embossing Folder and swiped over it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The window is a Cheery Lynn Die.

Leaves are Marianne Creatables Leafy Stem

Flowers I made with the Marianne Craftable Circle Die

The butterflies are from a Stamp-It stamp set..

My last card is one I made from an idea Angie saw in a magazine which was to separate your two layers with some sort of swirl.

I used a quickkutz branches die and added some flowers made with a small Sakura punch and a Punch bunch mini asterix for the centres.

The corners were cut with the Martha Stewart String Lace Punch.

Thank you for taking the time to come and visit.

Pontura and Liquid Pearls

Hello................

Nellie Snellen has a new product out, Pontura paints, stencils and card packs.

I have made two cards using the Baby Carriage PONK019 card set.

One for a girl using the Baby pink Pontura paint, some pink diamantes and Crafts Concepts Victorian Rectangles for the computer generated sentiment layer.

And one for a boy using Royal Blue Liquid pearls, blue diamantes, Marianne Creatables Happy Birthday,Congrats Dies.

The border punch is a Fiskars one called Threading Water.

For this one I used the Marianne Designable Frame cut and emboss folder, cut out the center and glued some tulle between two of the frames layers I then used lavender and Lace and Hot cocoa Liquid pearls to the holes in the tulle.

The flowers were made with the Cheery Lynn large Rose Die (looks like Kaaren is out of stock on those) and the stamens are a Nellie Snellen Floral Punch.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

On the Fence

Happy Sunday Everyone.

Its a beautiful sunny day here today and as soon as I've updated my Blog I think I'm getting on my bike for a nice long ride.

For my card, I have taken Butterfly Nora and placed her onto the Field Fence coloured her with copics, added some yellow flocking powder to the small daisy's and the centres of the Retro flowers and some stickles to her wings then cut them out with the  Lacy Squares die.
The papers are from the Kaisercraft Miss Nelly Paper Pad.
The border punch is Martha Stewart's Eyelet Lace.
A rose made by me and some Retro Punch flowers, flat backed pearls and a bit of ribbon.

I'm entering my card into The sugar Bowls Challenge 65 - Maria  Therese's Sketch
