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

1st Easter Card

Hi everyone

Wow, it's the weekend already, time is flying by! So I've made my first Easter card for my mother-in-law. It's not very traditional, but it will remind her of  her garden. I've had a play with my Promarkers, loads more practice is definitely needed. I enjoyed colouring this in and I turned the card into an eclipse design, this time using letter dies. So here it is.... 

I used a 5x7 card blank the dies, stamp and embellishments are all from eBay and have no name. the little butterfly is from a very old punch and as I didn't have a stamp saying Easter I used my very old Dymo. I coloured the stamp with Promarkers on to Neenah card, then I die cut the letters. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit and really do appreciate any comments left. Have a lovely weekend.
