Flapper Girl

I have three cards for the price of one today.  This image of a very trendy Flapper is from an old kit by Kanban Crafts which I bought from QVC way back in the Dawn Bibby days.  The backing card and sentiments are also from Kanban, the ribbon, pear;s and Glossy Accents are from my stash.

The backing cards are beautifully highlighted with gold foil and I added Glossy Accents to her hair and I placed a few pearls around the design.

Hopefully, I shall be back with more cards tomorrow.

Christmas card number three, not a bad start to my pile of cards for this Christmas, 3 down just 97 to go.

These cute toppers with matching backing papers come from the Hunkydory kit 'Festive Fun' from their Adorable Scorable range.  I have tried to keep this card as flat as possible because I intend to send it through the post.  The ribbon is the only elements from my crafting stash.

Hopefully, I will manage at least one more Christmas card before July is out.

Say it With Hearts

If you have been paying attention, this card may look a little familiar. On Wednesday I posted a card I made for my husband's birthday. I loved the papers so much, I decided to use them again for another card, this time for a wedding anniversary card.

The papers and sentiment are all from a Kanban Crafts kit I bought many years ago from QVC. The gold gems are from my stash.

I hope you have a special day.

Goosey, Goosey

Yea, I have managed another Christmas card.  I have, once again, taken the elements from the  Hunkydory kit - Festive Fun, from their Adorable Scorable range.  This time I have given the card some dimension by popping out the frames around the pre-coloured image and raising them up with Pinflare Glue Gel.  The 'Seasons Greetings' sentiment and ribbon are from my stash.

Don't go far, more will follow.

Christmas in July 2022

Every year I promise myself that I am going to start my Christmas cards early and this year I really did mean it - ask my friend Mrs Beez.  Here we are in July, some of the hottest days on record for the UK, and I decide that this would be a good time to make a start on those Christmas cards.

I have, once again, reached for my Hunkydory kits, this one is Festive Fun from their Adorable Scorable range.  I have kept this card simple, so it can go through the post, all I to added to the elements from the kit was a sentiment from my stash.

Watch out for more Christmas cards.

A Quacking Good Card

At the moment I have a bit of a problem, my printer is attached to an old desktop PC, which has packed up.  I know there has to be a way to connect the printer to my laptop, so I can print my digi images, but I do not know how.  I have tried everything I can think of but they are not 'talking' to one another.  Until I have that eureka moment I am resorting to using up some of the pre-coloured images from kits I have been hoarding for ages. 

This card was made using an old Hunkydory kit.  The sentiment and pearls are from my stash.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Cheers - It's a Birthday Card

I hope you are well and not adversely affected by the extreme heat we are currently experiencing here in the UK.

I have recently found my way back to my crafty stash to make a few birthday cards. July is very 'birthday heavy' in my family, so I have been busy with card, scissors and double sided tape.

I made this card for my husband using papers from an old Kanban Crafts kit I bought many years ago from QVC. The sentiment, ribbon and flat backed gems are from the same kit whilst the pre-coloured image is from Hunkydory. Although all of the papers in this kit are really lush, I do not know why I have been hoarding them (along with all of the other papers I find it hard to part with) for years. Why do we do that, it got so bad at one point that I would buy one set to use and another to keep!

I shall be back with more cards soon.
