Love is in the air

So here's a few cards I've been making really for Valentines day in the shop. They are made using some items I received in a Christmas package from Craftstyle products as a thank you for signing up to be part of their volunteer design team, they have since sent me some items with which to make sample cards and send back to them to be used at fairs and shows and even maybe on TV.

 These three are tall elegant cards with tags, I think tag shapes are very on trend.

These thee are again tag embellishments but in a round shape,  I will admit to changing the ribbon on two as they came with black ribbon which in my opinion didn't work. I like the colours or these something different from the traditional red and pink.

This last one for now, is my favourite I love the little patchwork hearts and lace, and who can resist buttons, I think the washing line effect really works well.









Check back soon to see what other crafts I've been up to including a bit of baking(ish) and mastering crochet.

A feathered friend

Just a quick post to share with you this cute get well soon card I made for a friend who had been unwell.

It's made using the stampin up owl punch a very versatile punch usable for a range of projects.
Here I have turned the owl in to a little get well soon nurse owl, the hat is cleverly created by using the belly shape and eye shadow added with half circles.








I hope you find him cute and are all finding some snug crafting time in the cold snowy weather.

First card of the year

A sympathy card made for a neighbour, created by simply just stamping on to a blank card, the large floral design is in two complimenting shades of green with the sentiment in brown, I like using brown ink as it is a lot less harsh than black.
Sorry about the quality of picture there's not enough daylight around at the mo, roll on summer.
So a new year and lots of new craft ideas just need to find some time to try them out.
