Fairy House

 Hello friends and visitors

A big thank you for all the kind comments on my last card, they were lovely to read. It's my SIL 50th birthday next week and we're all going out tonight to celebrate - so I'm looking forward to a lovely meal out at Miller and Carter.

I've something different to share with you all today. I've had this blank fairy house from The Works for a good few years and decided to decorate it. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out and now to do the other three I have! Anyway here it is...

So to make this which was a wooden colour, I removed the door and metal bits and painted the door and plinth with white acrylic paint. I cut round some paper from Lili of the Valley which I've had for years. The fairies welcome sign, mushroom, pink bow and the cute little fairy came from a website and I wish I could remember where, as I want to buy more,all the other embellishments came from my stash. Once I put it all together, I placed white felt on the bottom of the plinth and the back of the frame and door to finish it off. Now to do the others for Christmas presents for the four 3 year olds that I buy for.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, have a great weekend and I'll see you all soon.

Best Friend

Hello everyone

I hope everyone is well and those in the UK have enjoyed their first day of proper freedom! So I'm off to a craft beer and pizza night on Wednesday with the other half and his sister and her husband, it'll be the first time we've all seen each other since way before Christmas. So looking forward to it!

I had a birthday on the 15th and didn't get loads of crafty bits... boo hoo, but I did get a new craft lamp and it's brilliant.

Anyway, I have spent today making a card for my friend who has been very supportive to me recently, too long to explain. Hope she likes it. So here it is...

To make this card I used the following, 6x6 card blank, a Bildmalarna image ( I do miss their stamps) coloured with Promarkers, Lili of the Valley sentiment, check card is a left over piece, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, dies are unbranded and everything else from my stash.

Have a great week and see you soon.

I do love a flower!

Hello friends and visitors,

So who can believe it's May already and how blooming cold it's been. We had terrible winds here in 'sunny Southend' Monday and Tuesday, they were horrendous, my mother in laws garden was pretty banged up, but she wouldn't let us go out there. I've got my second Covid jab on the 11th, I'll be so happy when I've had it, hopefully there will some normality to my life! Anyway, I have a card to share with you and I would like to thank Jules from 'Always with a Heart' blog for sharing a card from Whimsy Dreams. I fell in love with the image and decided to purchase it. I coloured it with Promarkers. So here it is...

I used a 7x7 card blank, Neenah card coloured with Promarkers, I'm not sure where the dotted paper came from, sorry, all other paper/card from a big pile of overs. I get all my ribbon from my local haberdashery shop (they are so helpful!) The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, enamel dots from stash and double stitched square die is from eBay.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and those that leave comments are amazing, I love reading them. Have a great weekend.

It's been a while!

 Hello friends and followers.

So it's been a few weeks since I blogged - naughty me, but home life took over. I've been so busy sorting my little flat out ready for decorating, plus I had a new work top fitted in my kitchen, oh my the mess! I'm also trying to transfer everything from my laptop to a new PC - not easy. Anyway, I have made time to make some cards for birthdays coming up. Here is one of those...

I used a 6x6 card blank, Lili of the Valley stamp where you can find the digi image here, she is coloured with Promarkers on to Neenah card. Everything else is either unbranded or from my snippets box.

Thank you for visiting and I wont leave it too long next time, plus I need to visit a load of blogs, so please accept my apologies for not visiting or commenting. Have a good weekend and let's hope May is a lot warmer!

It's a Boy!

 Hello everyone.

So a nice long Easter weekend to craft as the weather has taken a turn for the worse! It's been beautiful here in sunny Southend this week. I would like to say a very big thank you for all the recent comments that I have received on my cards, it's so kind of everyone to take the time to visit, it's so appreciated and gives me a boost to keep going. Today I made a baby boy card for a friend who is expecting a 'lockdown' baby! It's so nice for something positive to come from what has been a pretty awful year. Enough of the doom and gloom she says and on to my card. So here it is...

I used the following to make this card:

6x6 card base

Lili of the Valley digi stamp - Clouds which can be found here

Lili of the Valley sentiment digi stamp - Baby greeting which can be found here

Coloured with Promarkers

Papers are 'It's a Boy' from First Edition

Embossalicious Embossing folder - Clouds

Memory box Pippi butterfly die

Oval die is unbranded

Button and sprinkles from stash.

Have a great Easter everyone and I'll be back soonish!

Another Easter Card

 Happy Saturday friends and visitors,

I'm on a bit of a role, the other half asked me to make some Easter cards for his family, so I couldn't really say no! I enjoyed making this one and I again coloured this using Promarkers, there is not a lot to this card, but I like the simplicity of it. So here it is...

I used the following to make this...

A2 card blank

Lili of the Valley Bunny Blooms stamp (stamps are no longer available) Digi image here 

Lili of the Valley Easter sentiments available here

Coloured with Promarkers on to Neenah card

Spellbinders Label 4

Papermania buttons

Faux pearls stash

Background die and double stitch die eBay.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and please stay safe!

Good morning blog friends and visitors.

I'm on countdown now as my shielding finishes on the 31st March. It's been a long year and I'm so looking forward to doing my own food shopping, but still staying safe. It'll be great to visit friends even if it's in their gardens. So not long now. 

Anyway, I have a card to share with you all, this card I made for my great niece who will be 4 on the 1st April and she loves horse riding! So I thought this is a great image for her. So here it is...

To make this I used a 7x7 card blank, Simply Print image from Lili of the Valley which can be found here. Spellbinder die, number and happy birthday die are unbranded, heart embossing folder (it could be papermania!) Flowers are Trimcraft and Wild Orchid Craft roses and everything else is from my stash.

Have a great weekend and a big thank you for all the lovely comments on my last two cards, I'm amazed how many of you took the time out of your busy lives to visit.

Stay safe, Debbie x
