Well this week we were supposed to be at Pontins but we only lasted one night but thats a whole other story.

So i thought I would show you the card I made recently.



As you may have noticed, I like to use stars on the masculine cards but I also like to use butterflies on the feminine cards.

I used the daisy Cuttlebug embossing folder on the card. I like using the embossing folders on cards that are just plain background, it adds a bit of dimension to them.

The paper is from My Minds Eye - Bloom and Grow and the brown dotted paper is from Making Memories - Just Chillin' Boy ranges. The stamp is from Clare Curd at Papermania, I just inked the edge of most of the pieces and used the threading water punch on the brown dotted paper.

So now I'm back at home instead of being on holiday, I might get some more crafting in.

'till next time.

Hi there, this is a pouch I made to hold some cards and envelopes that you could give as a present to someone. Hope you like it.

                                                                              

I don't know whether this is common knowledge but I thought I would put it on here anyway.
 

My tip for cleaning acrylic blocks that have ink that won't come off it like staz on  is to wipe the block with a hand sanitizer. I've tried this with staz on ink and the ink thats still on the block just wipes straight off.

    Thanks for looking.

This is a card that I started a few months ago and I got as far as putting the three background layers on the card and the yellow ribbon but couldn't decide what else to put on it. I came back to it last week and thought that I had to do something with it as it was quite pretty but obviously missing something- even more colour!


The patterned paper for the green layer and the flower is from Making Memories Just Chillin Girl and the butterflies paper is from K and Co Amy Butler Belle paper. The sentiment Stamp is from Hero Arts Sentiments.

The first card says thinking of you. I used a pre-made card which already had the pattern on it and added three 2" scallop circles with 3 1" butterflies on them and underneath the ribbon, I used the threading water punch. I also inked the edge of the butterflies and the card itself in brown ink. There is probably too many butterflies but never mind.
