another birthday card....

 I really do have to get cracking as I have about 5 more to make for this month....


and most of them are for men...always difficult ....

Thanks for popping by today and I hope you are  keeping well...blogging is becoming harder at the moment as bloglovin keeps going down I have started to use Feedly which seems easy enough but I cannot follow some blogs and cannot comment on others unless I am on my laptop...not ideal...

take care ....

a birthday card....

 I made up a whole load of flowers one day and I thought it was about time I used them ...having seen a beautiful card made by one of the design team from carnation craft I though  I would try my version of it...

the flowers are from the carnation crafts Moments in time collection...I didn't buy any of the other dies so I rummaged around in my stash for Sue Wilson dies for the foliage...the bow is a Tim Holtz bigz die
Holly wreath...Sue Wilson sentiment and a tattered Lace harlequin circle die....lots of creative expressions cosmic shimmer sparkle pearl PVA drops on each of those little foliage fronds....so its very sparkly....
Thank you for popping by today I hope you are keeping well and enjoying your crafting.

A birthday card

just found a Wallace and Grommit kit I bought last year...thats what lock down does to you...make me tidy up my craft room and frighten myself to death by finding all this stuff.....



I thought that this image would make a cool masculine card for my cousin Chris....
at the end of June....I did have fun with the dies...and my favorite embossing folder again...
Well the weather has changed but still no rain here and my garden is so crispy that walking on the lawn feels really strange.....
I hope you are keeping well out therein blog land....take care.

birthday card day 9

how many birthdays does she have this month I hear you say well actually 11.....so i am still getting ahead and unless things change I still need to be posting at least 2 weeks early for the cards to get through.....


I bought this LOTV digi while they were having one of there 50% off sales....and what a joy it was to colour...I have never had success with digis as I always found the ink smudged but I used the create and craft procard and it worked...no smudges....I have no idea what brand the embossing folder is but it is one of my favorites.....
Thanks for popping by today and stay safe.....
