Quick & Simples.....

Good morning my lovelies how are you all? I cant believe its end of half term, how fast has this week gone :0( Got wait til christmas for another school hol now :0(

Anyway sorry I've not been round we had a full on family day yesterday as my eldest works half day on a friday so we treated everyone to pizza hut including Jake's girlfriend, we laughed sooooooo hard it made my pains worse but god was it worth it..........laughter is the medicine for EVERYTHING!!!

Anyway I made some quickie cards (altho not quick for me lol), nearly a week ago & thought I would pop them on, not sure what I think of them tbh but.........well will let you see lol.

This is going along the lines of flat crimbo cards & for this card I got inspired by my fabby talented blogging buddy Debby when she made these cards here........she does gorgeous simple cards & hers are soooooooooooo much better than mine!!!

For the baubles I used the fabby MB 'Snowflake Ornament' die & I drew lines up to the embossed lettering. The embossing folder is from my stash.

Paper is MME 'All Is Bright' & I ripped it & inked it with Walnut DI.

I have used a Penny Black stamp for this one & heat embossed it with copper embossing powder. I then inked the background using distress ink. The sentiment stamp didnt stamp out too well.

I used Spellbinders 'Edgeabilities - Classic Scallop' for the bottom edge, I wanted it to look like a shadow was being cast by the top scallops. The reason for this card is the Joanna Sheen challenge this time is 'Silhouettes', I'm hoping this counts.

The paper is Prima 'Tea Thyme' & I've added faux stitching around the edge. Not sure tbh what I think of this one but its a first for me, its good to try new things tho, thats the whole point of crafting aint it lol ;0)

I Will Love You Always.......all ways....

Good evening my lovely friends how are you all? I hope you all had a lovely day. The weather has been gorgeous up here again there was quite a few on the beach its been lovely & warm again.

I've inked up another stamp tonight......get me yet another un-used stamp had the tasting of memento....they loved it lol!!!

I stamped the image with brown memento & stamped a sentiment that came with these stamps underneath & left it at that, cus of the colours of the card it just seemed to suit it....I'm having withdrawal from not colouring now tho lol. I then cut it out using a round nestie.

The charm I made myself using silver jump rings & a glass love heart bead from my jewellery stash. The love heart doily is from my stash.

The hat pin I made myself using swarovski crystal beads.

Flowers & scalloped card from Crafty Emma's Store . The 2 heather stem flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I've also been asked what glue I use & the 2 main glues I use are these they are fab for all my layers as I only use double sided tape on the paper then once its on the matting card I then use glue so I know everything is secure. I also use it for the ribbon, flowers & embellishments.

I followed a sketch for the front but inside I just did it complimentary. The lace is from my stash but it came with dark pink ribbon going through so I replaced it with the pastel pink with the brown edge which I think I got from Crafty Ribbons.
