Friends and Ice Cream - 2 of my favourite things

On Monday my bestest friends came to visit from Cornwall.  I moved away in March and miss them terribly.  We had a great girlie day, it was lovely to spend time with them.  Unfortunately working in a tourist area they can't get away much during the season, so it was a long time since we had all caught up in person.

The previous blog post card was for my friend Julie, she purchased my yellow beetle from me and loves it  (I really miss it!!!)

This card is for my best mate "Pand" whom I miss every day.  It reminds me of our coffees out - normally involving a little cake as well of course.

I used First Edition Sweet Owl papers, Laura Ashley wallpaper, Coredinations and Tatty Ted paper to make this card.  The flowers were cut on the cricut and distressed, a mini button placed in each.  The image was coloured with promarkers and small Anitas gems stuck on for the cherrys.  The lace work was also cut on the cricut.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Sketch n Stash

Die Cut Dreams - Pink Brown and Cream

The Paper Shelter - For the girls

Bearly Mine - No 20

Crafts and Me No 54 Flowers

I love Promarkers - distressing

Everybody-Art Challenge - Pink/Brown

A little bit of star-gazing inspired this little gem.

I love tatty ted and this topper is just really cute.  The backing papers are the front cover of the tatty ted 12 x 12 collection of christmas papers.  The stars are by papermania and the sentiment is tatty ted.  A quick and simple but gorgeous card.  Inside the card was finished with  snowflake cut on the cricut, a Hunky Dory sentiment and a Tatty Ted decoration.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sunday's crafty makes

Hi everyone and thank you for looking at my blog.  


It's been lovely here today, have had a great day, out to lunch with the out-laws, a gentle stroll along the canal - not too far mind and in between some lovely peaceful crafting.  Below is what I have come up with today.  


LOTV card.  This was a challenge I set on the Docrafts forum.  The theme - I love you, colour white on white with a ribbon, a bow and three embelishments.  I have made my flowers using my new Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and some stickies glitter glue.  Great Fun.  The image was coloured with Promarkers.

This is a childs birthday card.  I used my x-cute nesting die to cut out the balloons and the party image.  The papers were from the Birthday goodie bag bag in April.

 Birthday Girl and Happy Birthday cards . Again these papers were from the Birthday Goody Bag in April.  The design is for the Monday Sketch Challenge on the Docrafts Forum.  The balloons were cut and embossed with my Nesties and the tag is stamped with a LOTV image.

The tatty ted image is has been framed using a nestie die and then mounted onto tatty ted papers.  Hougie Board flowers made and adhered along with card candy and a ribbon.  The backing paper is Hunkydory.
The sentiment is Tulip.

Thanks for taking the time to look. x

A gift for you - tatty ted

I love Tatty ted and this image is just great.  What better way to show someone you care than to give them a beautifully wrapped gift.

The papers are from the Tatty Ted range as is the decoupage image.  I have matted and layered using Papermania Capsule Cardstock.  The ribbon is also from the tatty ted range.

Tatty ted card - made for friendship swap in August on Docrafts forum.

I have used the tatty ted papers and Papermania Capsule Cardstock to create this card.  The image has been stamped and coloured with Promarkers.

The ribbon and bow are made from Tatty Ted ribbon and secured with a tatty ted brad.  I have finished the card off with three flowers with card candy middles.

Penny Black Baby Card - for George

Easel card made for a friend who has just had a new baby boy - called George.

I used my x-cut nesting dies to matt and layer the image.  The Pennyblack image is coloured with Promarkers and I used Stickers glitter glue to highlight the butterfly and the centres of the flowers.  The bow and buttons are from Papermania.  The pram stamp is embossed with my Cuttlebug. The blue dotty paper is from the Forever Friends Retro Collection.   I stamped the frame and used Tatty Ted Peel Off letters to write George.
