Hi there!  I just got a new stamp in the post today and couldn't wait to make a card with it, and I had the perfect person to send this to, so I got cracking straightaway!

Card size: 4" x 4"
Flower Stamp: Altenew Ditsy Print
Sentiment Stamp: an old stamp from a long time ago
Inks: Stampin' Up!
 
See you again soon, Kx

Praying for you

Hello again!  Second post of the day, simply because I made this card for Just Us Girls Colour Challenge 454 and I just noticed it ends today.  The colours are light green, aqua and pale yellow so I used Stampin' Up! colours - Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party and So Saffron.  You can't really see the green and aqua easily as the details on the stamp are so small, but they're definitely there! As earlier, I've used my lovely new Altenew Ditsy Print stamp for the bouquets and Honey Bee stamps for the sentiment.


 

I have tried a million times to turn this picture around but for some reason it just won't!  Really annoying.  So here it is if you can imagine how good it looks the right way up!!
 
Thanks for visiting, Kx

Wedding Card

Hello there!  Today I'm sharing a card I made this morning for my friend's daughter who is getting married in September.  It's plain and simple, with a little bit of added bling!  I used sketch #399 from My Favorite Things Card Challenges as inspiration. I am also entering this card into Addicted to Stamps and More #306Cute Card Thursday #544 - Just for Girls (I know it's a wedding card, but do the boys really care?)

 
 
 
 
Card size: 7" x 5"
Patterned paper: Stampin' Up!
Stitched Circle die: My Favorite Things
Heart dies: My Favorite Things
Love die: Oops, can't remember!!
Embellishments: Stampin' Up! Diamantes

Thanks for visiting today.  See you soon, Kx

Back again!

Hi folks, I'm trying to get back into my crafting after a long absence, since my mum died almost two years ago. You may have seen my previous blog "Stampin' Perfect Peace". I lost heart in crafting after mum died because she and I crafted, and had lots of fun, together. When she came to live with me, we did even more together and she was a great encourager to me. I completely lost interest in making cards but I can feel that interest starting to pick up again. I was a bit worried that I never would make cards again, because when we moved into a new house, my husband decorated and arranged one of the bedrooms, complete with shelving, as a craft room for me!

Anyway, here is a card I made for the challenge over at Let's Craft and Create, which is 'anything goes'.


Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you enjoyed your visit.
