A vintage frame....

I've got a little addicted to making frames and I always like vintage. This one uses elements of style, first edition paper and a significant amount of sponging in neutrals...and quite a bit of crystal effects







A wedding card and matching frame

I've been making quite a few frames recently.....I'm going to make this wedding frame and card combo in a class tonight but in black and white instead of elegant eggplant







Away for a while....

Apologies I haven't blogged in ages but I have still been stamping!! I love the Fabulous You stamp set and made this card last month for a friends birthday using cherry cobbler as the base colour.....

Mothers Day Class

A little bit I'd designing for my 'mothers day' class although they will of course be adaptable on the night as a birthday or thankyou combination. This little box was one of the first 3D projects we were taught in one of Liz's class - Thankyou Liz :)





Wedding Card

This started off as an attempt at a 'less is more' wedding card. I failed at the 'less' bit :) but I was pleased with the result anyway. This uses the elements of style stamp set, little leaves sizzlet, beautiful wings embosslit, and framelets labels collection. Ive also used the lacy brocade embossing folder. The card stock is whisper white and the lovely sparkly stuff you can get as part of sale-a-bration at the moment. I used Sahara Sand as the main colour and some silver embossing powder.

Thankyou butterflies

I really love the new butterfly punch and matching papillon potpourri stamp set. I used Island Indigo and Pool Party with Very Vanilla cardstock for this one, and added a little sparkle to my butterflies by heat embossing some iridescent ice powder on top whilst the ink was still wet. Completed with some rhinestone gems and a daubed piece of the brilliant new flower trim from the spring-summer catalogue

Simply pink!

I'm not so good at the 'less is more' concept but I've done my best with this card! This is my first card using the 'secret garden bundle'. I've heat embossed using melon mambo powder and I've used whisper white and melon mambo cardstock
