Tagged again

Morning folks , well yesterday turned out to be another scorcher here , and today looks like its going to be the same . I thought i would get this Tag Card posted before i go food shopping , (i hate doing this ) .

I made this card on the same theory has the one i posted yesterday , for the base i used HunkyDory card cut the shape by hand , then added shape from my Spellbinder dies , that i embossed and inked faded jeans distress ink . I found some small bits of card and cut a circle and added it to the round heart shape , then added a sentiment using my LOTV stamps . I added ribbon and a bow to the top and finished that off with a flower . The other flowers i used were mainly from ebay , but there are the white flowers and small yellow rose buds that were bought from WOC . I finished it all off with some faux gems . I am really liking this type of card and can see many more in the future being made up .

I hope you all have a lovely day wherever you are and whatever you are doing ....Hugs Sue xx

This Tag card , i made just because i havent tried making before , and i saw a challenge i would like to enter and you had to make a tag card or tag so here is mine .

I added a double layer Butterfly i also cut on the Cameo , them diecut with my Spellbinders the leaves and the layers for the sentiment . I added blue and cream ribbon a pearl and flowers i bought from ebay . All in all i really like this , i enjoyed making it , so i made another which i will post when its all dry .......

Round and Round we go

Morning all , well the weather has changed this morning , its cooler here than it has been , but no rain yet ...

I made this card mainly using my Cameo , the pink card i used is fantastic for cutting with the Cameo , i bought it from create and craft its Bazzil Basics , i am so glad i ordered two lots , and it was my last order from them , i have let my subscribtions lapse i am fed up with there customer service and all the hassle , so not buying from them anymore .

The card is backed onto silver mirri board , i cut two lots of the mats , using cream and pink , and alternated them on the easel , so i have enough to make another card . the flowers i made up from a Martha Stewert punch , the image as you can see is a decoupage of Me to you Tatty Teddy , i added pearls , glitter and sentiments to finish it all off .......

Magical Birthday

This card i made as a result of designing  the border along the bottom and cutting it out with my Cameo . I took inspiration from a very talented lady called Debbie , here is her blog http://paperpulse.blogspot.co.uk/    I watched a video she made on how to make a decorative edge with the Silhouette software , and had to have ago  , so here it is .....

I used a few files i had in my library within the Silhouette software , i tweeked the files and added bits here and there and came up with what i think is a very pretty edge to my card . The card blank is an 8x8 tentfold , in dark puple , the designs were cut from a very pale lilac patterend paper , and i inked the edges . The big swirl around the top edge is a file that came free with my Cameo so i just resized it and cut it out . The images and flowers in lilac were from the MCS cds Quintisential , i love this cd , i resized and colour co-ordinated them to match the card , the sentiment at the top right is a stamp from LOTV and matted onto a spellbinder shape . I added some leaves and a big flower , also some glitter and gems to finish off the front .

The inside is also decorated has you can see ...

Thanks Debbie for showing me how to do the decorative edge , keep an eye on my blog as i designed quite a few more and saved them for a later date lol....

Hugs Sue xxxx

Ps dont forget to check Debbies blog out she has lots of  brilliant  videos on how to use your Cameo , as well has free files , she has taught me lots .......

All the pinks and a free stamp

This card was made using a cutting file from my Silhouette library that i tweaked to come up with the card base , which is a Hunky dory card , i then used a punch to make the holes around the edge of the design . The pink triangle shaped paper is from Hot off the press paper pack . The mat the stamp is sitting on is another cutting file and i inked the edges using Tim Holtz distress ink . The greeting is from LOTV  and is sitting on a spellbinder shape , the flowers are from Wild Orchid . The image is from a stamp set i got free with my monthly mag Simply cards and Papercraft , called Teddy Bo and Co , for a free stamp set i think it has got to be one of the best and i think i will be using it lots , i coloured the image with my promarkers , and finished the card off with faux pearls and a pink bow .

I will be entering this card into the following challenges .......................

Not blogged for awhile

Hiya fellow bloggers , i havent been around for awhile as i have been feeling really low , and not really been able to concentrate on anything , but i made myself make a card up today , so here it is ......

I used a hunkydory shaped card blank for the base , i used paper from a 12x12 book called the best of K and Company , i love this collection , i was bought this book by a very dear friend of mine and didnt want to use it cos it is so lovely , but i took the plunch gritted my teeth and cut into it to make the mats for this card . All the diecuts were cut on my Cameo , the flowers i made from the scraps of paper that was left , The sentiment is embossed using a Me To You embossing folder and matted onto co-ordinating paper . The topper is a digi (cant remember were i got it ) it was coloured in with Promarkers to go with the papers .... I decorated the middle of the card with the same papers , i printed a sentiment out and die cut it with my Spellbinders , and added some doilies, skelleton leaves , stickles on the flowers and fairies wings  and gem stones . The colours are really soft , and i am very pleased with the way it turned out ......

Cream and Brown

Morning all , well when i got up it was lovely sun shining and birds singing , now it is threatening rain .

well today i have another cream and brown card to show you , i used a cream card blank and added a layer of taupe card that i ran through my Caliber and Mbossability folder , i stamped the image onto cream card then cut that out using a spellbinder shape , then went around the outline of the same shape to make a mat for the image , and inked that in brown to match the image . I added pearls and a ribbon , and went around the edge of the card with 2 different sized pokey tools to make the holes .

The picture doesnt do it justice it lkooks loads better in real life .....

A clean looking card

I have been messing around again this week with just cream on cream and a touch of colour , this card is an a5 size  , i Mbossed the top layer added 2 rows of ruffled cream lace to the edge of a diecut piece of cardstock , the holes from the die have been threaded with brown ribbon and a bow made then added to the bottom of the card , i stamped the greeting then used my spellbinder to cut out the shape and added it to the card with foam pads .... all in all i like this card , and think it looks classy ....

Guest designer cards .......

I made these cards for the GDT spot over at http://www.emmascardsuk.com/p/emmas-crafty-challenge_06.html i was picked as one of the GDT for winning there challenge last month ......

The first card is an Easel based card , all the images and bits and bobs mainly came from the MCS Quintisential cds , there is some punching on the side using the Martha Stewert punch , the flowers and leaves were all cut using Spellbinders and co-ordinated papers . There is just a faint hint of colour running through the birdcage ........

This month its MONOCHROME  so go over and take a look and join in ... The second card is also an Easel card but its shaped , i used the Debbie Moore One Fine Lady cds to make this card , the image is decoupaged , and layered up onto a few co-ordinated papers , the greeting is mounted onto a spellbinder shape , and the flowers and leaves are also cut from Spellbinders , there has been a lot of colour in my cards just lately and it was hard trying to make a card that was all black and white , it took me a few goes to get it right .  But here are the results ....... I would like to thank Emma and the girls  over at Emmas Challenge for picking my card last month i was over the moon .....
