Gift card holder
Hi Lovelies,
Since I was downstairs prettying up a parcel I decided that I would try to make a card. Looking through the challenge blogs I like I decided to do do the Jingle Belles & TSOT challenges. I had a quick look through some of the ideas that Jingle Belles posted & thought that this tutorial looked really good. So I based my card on it. The card ended up being 6 x 6 inches, so quite big for me.
I had better be going as the girls are about & need my attention.
Hugs to you all & Happy crafting xoxoxoxo
Gift wrapping & card
Hi Lovelies,
I know it's been awhile (yet again). I don't know what is wrong with me, I start crafting again only to stop & not do anything for ages. It's really starting to bug me. Especially since I don't have a job, or go any where other than kid stuff.
Anyway enough whinging, I thought I would share a little something I have done for one of Emsy's mates birthday. Emsy has been invited to a birthday party on Sunday & for a change I decided to wrap the present & make the card before the day. Shock, horror I know - I'm getting organised, I'm even scaring myself lol! For once it has turned out well. As I didn't have enough of the Dora wrapping paper to cover the present, so I used it to doll up this plain brown paper wrapping. I used up the last of this gorgeous ribbon on the paper, added a doily (that Alice gave to me & I've been hoarding) cut out a Dora & taped her onto the doily. I then die cut the Happy Birthday, stamped the balloons & fussy cut around them before attaching that to the present. The card was really simple to make I just fussy cut another Dora, stuck her to some white c/s before cutting around her & adding her to the card, with another one of the doilies.
Thanks for stopping by today & happy crafting to you all xoxoxoxo

Birds
Hi Lovelies,
This card is for the latest CAS-ual Fridays challenge here. This time the challenge was to use birds on your project. I have been itching to use this Jillibean Soup stamp set for ages & thought it would suit this challenge perfectly. This is such a simple card to make. I started with a small scrap of kraft on which I stamped the bird first then masked, before stamping the cage. I then coloured the bird with a white prismacolour pencil. I inked the edges with Walnut Stain before adhering it to a card base. I then stamped a Hero Arts sentiment in Walnut Stain. That's it. Took me a whole five minutes maybe.......
I just want to wish all you Mums' out there a wonderful Mothers Day. My day is half over (just like my washing lol) with dh & Lils' asleep & Emsy sacked out in front of the TV. So between the laundry I'm crafting. Happy Mothers' Day xoxoxoxo
