Ladybug rescue

Good morning everyone, forgive me while I shout WHOOOOOPEEEEE, I am on holiday from work for a whole week now :o)

This morning I have four cards from one image to share with  you. You have seen this ladybug photograph before but the difference this time is that I have printed it onto Kraftcard.  The problem was that they didn't print in the right place this time so I made them into toppers instead!

For once, I didn't cut and fold my own basecards, these are from Papermania and are about 5.25 square.  Ladybugs cut out with Nesties and matted onto brown and ivory card.  Dies used are Memory box poppies and corner, and Cheery Lyn foliage. I hope you like them :o)

Ivory and green

Good morning everyone. What a difference a day makes. We've gone from wall to wall sunshine yesterday to wall to wall grey, wild and very wet today! Still, we do desperately need the wet stuff so I'm not complaining.

For my card today I am back to dies and punchart, I do love playing with cutting and punching :o)

The basecard is ivory linen card, the foliage and mat are green linen card and the embossed panel, flutterbies  and flowers are ivory pearl card. Flower centres are liquid pearls. 

I used;

Leone Em and Woodware punches for the flowers.

Martha Stewart punch for the flutterbies.

Cheery Lyn dies for the foliage

Have a great day everyone :o)

One photograph = 6 cards

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with you and yours.

This is my last day of freedom, I have to go back to work tomorrow. I cannot believe how fast the week has flown by!

On to my cards for today, all made using the same photograph which I took last year at Wollaton Park, Nottingham.

I gave the photograph different frames in PSE 5. The basecards were cut and folded from linen card, one is A6, one is 6x6 and the rest are 7x5. Three of the pics were handcut and the rest cut with nesties and all are matted onto Bazzill. Flourishes, foliage and corners were cut with Memory Box, Cheery Lyn and Provocraft :o)

GC card for the box.....

.....and I sold it almost immediately :o)

Good morning Bloggers, I hope you are all well and happy, and if not then I hope you soon will be.....hugs

This is another one of those 'just becaue I wanted to' cards and I really enjoyed making it. We have just received our bonus from work, and I am breaking up tonight for a week, so I will be off to Byrkley Park to buy some more Grand Nesties, then I can make more shaped cards. Anyhow, on to my card for today :o)

It is A5 size, cut on the GC.

Basecard is Bazzill, backing paper is from stash, sorry no name on it. Same with the paper used for the flutterby and flowers!

Dies and punches used are Grand Nesties, Cheery Lyn, Marianne, Woodware and Xcut. It really is a very simple card :o)

An open card and a welcome

Good morning Bloggers. I hope you are warmer where you are than I am here, it looks very dull outside!

Today I welcome Myrna, a new follower. Hi there Myrna, thank you for visiting and joining my followers :o)

On to my card for today which is an 8x8 that I made just for the pleasure of making it.

For once, I didn't cut and fold my own basecard. It is from a pack I bought yonks ago because I didn't fancy buying and cutting into A3!

The backing paper is from an 8x8 Kay&Co pad that I bought way back in my early crafting days. I thought it was time I started using it at last. The pearl paper that I cut the flowers/foliage from is also from the dim and distant past!

Dies used are Grand Nesties and Cheery Lyn. Punches used are McGill and Woodware, Gems were from my stash :o)

New toy and first card with it

Good afternoon everyone on this gloriously blue, sunshiny day.

I have my new toy and I have made one card using it so far.

Well, I had to buy myself a Mother's Day pressie didn't I, especially as I had already bought some Grand Nestabilities LOL

I cut the card from an 8x8 Papermania kraftcard, and the backing, with the GC, the foliage was cut with Marianne and Cheery Lyn dies and the sentiment was stamped and punched with SU :o)
