Camillas summer blog candy

Camilla is giving away gorgeous summer candy, finishes 5th June so pop over to her blog and enter and check out her fab cards too. Kari is also giving away some candy 1st June. Her cards are gorgeous so be sure to check out her blog. Meanwhile I have been making some christmas cards. Purple one perhaps not so traditional but I thought it would be fun to try different colours.
I still need to add some sentiments etc. to card. I ordered a bunch from MSE and I am so excited about their arrival..soon I hope.

3 Lil cards..



I just love Basic Grey papers. I got the 6x6 wisteria collection which I have used on 2 of the cards here. I also got the Marrakesh and I just sat there for the longest time looking at the papers not really wanting to use them because they are so beautiful. A bit weird huh..Though I'm sure I am not alone in doing that..


Finally I decided to use some of the new Whiff Of Joy stamps. Background paper is wisteria collection by Basic Grey. I also used my Stempelglede stamps on this..
Thanks for looking...

God Jul/Merry Christmas


Ok, it's nowhere near xmas but I thought I'd get started early on my xmas cards as I am always late with mine and here is one of them. I have been doing a bit of shopping lately and am no longer Miss limited supply well less limited. I bought myself a cuttlebug which was on special at a local shop and some stamps, inks and a few embellishments.
So on my card I've used some grungeboard painted with crackle paint. This one will be going to Sweden hence the swedish on the card. I also cut out some snowflakes with my cuttlebug and painted them and added some stickles to them.

Here are a couple of ATC's I made for Artpieces challange #17.
First card is just stamped with various butterflies.
Second one I used stamping and I punched out some flowers. For the cupcake I used my cuttlebug embossing folder. I also added stickles to this card but it's not looking very glittery in the photo.

StampARTic challenge



This is my card for the StampARTic challenge. No shop bought embellishments allowed. I used Whiff Of Joy stamp, not sure were the paper is from and some stamped butterflies that have been cut out. The ribbon is made from a strip of paper and stamped. The bow didn't turn out very good, I think my paper is too thick for it.

Hi all..
Just a quick card from this weekend. I used Basic Grey paper and Fiskars border punch on this card. And a beautiful image of Greta Garbo.

Whiff Of Joy


Here's a couple of my Whiff Of Joy cards. One of them I made for my niece turning 14. I took a pic of the inside too but hasn't turned out very clear. I saw a card with this stamp and it inspired me to create something similar on the front but unfortunetly I do not remember where I saw this but thanks anyway for inspiring me. And finally I found my paper roses!! I thought I would have to order them from Europe but found some in Australia, can't wait for them to arrive. I also put my order in for the Whiff Of Joy summer stamp kit..
Happy Days..

Hi there..
I hope everyone has been having a great easter weekend. Thought I would post a few pics of this weekends creations.
The first one is a birthday card. I wanted to add some stick on pearls to it but as the card is for a man I didn't.
Second one is just a vintage style Bonjour card and last one is my canvas creation. I really like the Vargas 1950s style pin up images.

My first post on the blog and first card too. I made this for someones b-day. I've used Daisy D's paper, some grundgeboard swirls, lace and a stamped chipboard heart. Whilst I have always been keen on arts and crafts I got compleatly hooked on cardmaking about a year ago. Hopefully I will be adding some more cards soon.
