My Mothers Day Cards 2013

Afternoon everyone hope you are all well on another wet and miserable day

 (in preston anyway).

I thought I would share with you the two mother's day cards I made this year.

The first card is for my mum:- 

I was inspired to make this card by a very talented lady called Lesley Hawkins.  In one of her cards she used these dies and I thought it was just amazing.  Hope you like my card just as much as I liked hers.

I know you can't see the main image very well but it is made using double sided adhesive, glitter and a 

dream weavers stencil.  I used spellbinders dies large ovals and large scalloped ovals, Cheery Lynn flourish and Crealies Leaves Die .

Bling Appeal :- I used peeloffs, liquid pearls, flat back pearls and glitter.

Flowers:- I made all the flowers using my cricut to cut out the large flower and also cut out circles to make the smaller flowers.

This is the card I made for my mother in law.


 I used a a recent stamp I bought in a sale at inspirations of Preston which I bought for the bargain price of £1.50.  I coloured the rose in with spectrum noir pens and then photocopied it onto photo paper several times.  This gave it the great glossy finish that I love.  

The flower is then decoupaged to make a great 3d finish to the card.  I used the same cheery lynn flourish as above and also Spellbinders fancy lattice and hexagon dies.  

I cut the mothers day out using cheery lynn dies .

The stamped image in the middle of the card was sprayed with crafters companion  spray & sparkle .

Thanks for looking,

(not sure who's dies they are sorry)

The 50 was cut out using my cricut and the sentiment I made using my computer.

Bling Appeal :- A Few peeloffs, glitter and a few jems.

Special Anniversary Card

I stamped and embossed 2 champagne glasses and then finished them with glossy accents to make them look like glass.

The sentiments have been done on my computer (as usual).

Hope you like it, and thanks again for taking a look it is really appreciated.

50th Commissioned Cards

This is the second of the four commissioned cards. 

(Sorry I never posted sooner like I said I would)

It is quite a simple card to make. I used one of glitter girls board (sorry I can't remember which one) to emboss each layer and then put peeloffs around the edge to make them stand out.

I used my cricut to cut the letters and the glittered them up with flutterglu from indigo blu and

I cut the beer glasses out of white card using and old

quickutz die.  Then using my promarkers and spectrum noir pens I coloured the tankards to make them look they have beer in them.  Then topped them with some fluff stuff that I  have.

Quirky Card

Good Evening crafters hope you are well on another wet and windy day.

A quirky card for you to see today.  I was asked to make a 50th Birthday card for a Granddad who likes fishing.

Materials Used:-

For this card I was asked to make a 50th with Fishing as the theme.  Unfortunately I don't have a cute fisherman so used google search engine and typed in cute fishermen to find this image.  I thought it was really cute.

Dies used :- Spellbinders - Labels 1 and Fancy Tags

                   Quickutz - Fish , Fishing Rod and net dies

I used my cricut to cut the 50 and put glitter onto it.

Thanks for taking a look..
