A Quick Card!

Hello Again

It's been a beautiful, but a windy day here in sunny Southend. I've been on a bit of a roll making cards and looking out for my Amazon deliveries! I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and got some vouchers to spend at Amazon, so I added to my Promarker collection, bought some new cutting dies and different types of card. I also purchased some watercolour pencils to have a try at that type of colouring, which I have been doing this afternoon, I really liked it, so may need to add to the collection.

Anyway I have a lot of birthdays coming up and so I need to add to my box ready to send out. So here is a quick birthday card I made using a pre-coloured image. Here it is....



The image is 'Time for you Girl' - Floral by Lili of the Valley which you can purchase from here, the sentiment tags are also Lili of the Valley which you can also find in their Etsy Shop. The paper is from an old pad I had, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the dies are Spellbinders, ribbon from my local haberdashery shop and the bling is from my stash.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and stay safe everyone.

My Colouring is Pants

Good Evening

So my first proper post with a card that I have made and I must say my colouring is pants! I didn't realise how bad it was, just goes to show that when you don't make things constantly you tend to forget how it's done, so more practice is needed!

So here is my really bad attempt....


This is such a cute stamp from Lili of the Valley called 'Dressed Up' which you can buy from the LOTV outlet shop on Etsy here. Other items I have used are Promarkers, Make & Create 'Sweet Garden Roses' paper pad, the die is a Marianne Creatables, Hunkydory Moonstone 'fabulous flowers, Lawn Fawn sentiment die and the ribbon is from my local haberdashery shop. 

Thank you for passing by and stay safe.

Hello



Hi, it's definitely been a while since we all last met! Nearly 3 years have passed, which seems a lifetime. So a bit about what has been going on in my life. I gave up cardmaking for a couple of years, I had lost my mojo. I was still crafting, but doing and trying other things. I purchased a Cricut machine and was making things with that, I also bought a new sewing machine too, So have been sewing things. 

Anyway back last October I broke my ankle quite badly and ended up in plaster for 6 weeks. As I live in a tower block I had to have a risk assessment by my landlord just in case there was a fire and how would I get out. One of the things that came out of this was that I own too many crafty things 😊. So I decided to see if I had my mojo back with the cardmaking. It's coming back slowly, but I'm getting there. So I will blog some of the cards I have made recently.

So another thing on my list to do was to reactivate my blog and give it a makeover and a new name. Which is what I have been doing today. I'm not sure if this will be the final version, but the new name won't change. I just need to figure out how to change the blogspot.com link.

So I will be blogging some of my crafts and not just cards here to give inspiration. 

Stay safe and thanks for passing by.
