Golden wedding...

 

Its our friends Val & Brian's Golden Wedding Anniversary today...Happy Anniversary to your both.

This is the card I made for them using on of Sue Wilsons dies from the New York Collection this one is called 'Times Square'......the 50th die cut is from Memory Box and the little flowers are actually Poppystamps small blooming poinsettia dies and I've also used a die from Joanna Sheen's Wisteria die set.

We've got out two granddaughters staying over tonight they are coming this afternoon and guess what we will be doing yep crafting...its always a joy to sit and craft with them..

Have a good weekend...

Birthday card....

Not a lot of time for crafting this week as I am helping my daughter who has her own cake business,  she has a big Charity event on Friday so have lots of cakes, flowers and toppers to make, I did sugarcraft for over 20 years but things have changed so much just like cards styles change and things go in and out of fashion but I still enjoy it..

This is a card a made about 3 weeks ago using the solid die from the SU Filigree Poinsettia set to make my flower....all the dies I've used are SW ones, the butterfly Martha Stewart and sentiment from Stampin Up.....its a very pale card and looks much nicer in the flesh....

The weather is horrible today cold, wet and windy....but we cant complain can we..

Another Christmas card...

Had a lovely day yesterday at Westpoint with 3 crafty friends,  I was very good and apart from one small die set and a sheet of Card-io stamps I only bought crafting necessaties i.e. DSP, glue, new stamp pads and celo bags.....
the weather was once again glorious and we all came home very happy bunnies..
 
On quite a roll now with Christmas cards....again I've used Sue Wilson dies...I've chopped around the California background die and made 4 squares and used the Filigree Poinsettia die, again I've chopped around the Grand Vinery Die for the small leaves on my poinsettia.

Thanks for popping by

Embossing Folder & Sue Wilson...

Two posts in 2 days! 
Just wanted to show you the Freebie embossing folder that came with the Reindeer Stamp & Christmas tree stamps.. I've kept it simple, embossed in Pale blue card and embellished with Sue Wilsons Filigree Poinsettia and holly leaves....Sentiment is from All Occasion Die.

California Die and a 'Freebie'......

 

For my card today I have used Sue Wilsons California background die and cut it lengthwise and popped it onto black card then mounted it onto Vintage gold card.  The lovely reindeer was part of a 'freebie' along with two stamps and an embossing folder on a magazine this month I dont normally buy magazines but thought the stamps and embossing folder was worth the price of the magazine!
Stamped and mounted the lovely swirly reindeer onto one of the Spellbinders Floral Oval dies...finished by card off with some gold ribbon and a few gold 'pearls' .....Cant get a good photo with the black and the gold sorry...

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely warm weather....

Pixie's Snippets Challenge week 141....

For this weeks Pixie's Snippets Challenge I've used two of my new dies, Sue Wilson Filigree Poinsettia and Pine bough...the corners are Spellbinders Corner flourish..Spellbinders Dainty Dots embossing folder...greeting is from S.U. Greetings of the Season set. 
My card is quite pale so very difficult to get a good picture on this lovely sunny day but I'm not complaining...

The good news is that my grandson didn't have his elbow pinned but has a new cast and has gone back to school today a little apprehensive as thats where the accident happened but at the moment he is only part time ....

My 2nd Christmas card!!.....

 

 

 Well I am so pleased with myself I've just made my 2nd Christmas card...the sun is shining and its warm and I just cant get to grips with the 'C' word at the moment..

I've been playing around with masks and embossing them...this one is a Touch Mask called 'Flourishing Heart'.. using Versamark ink pad I patted my mask all over before popping into the Bigshot and embossing it....then I sprinkled clear embossing powder over it and embossed it.  
Using SU old olive ink pad I coloured the mask all over and of course the embossed bits resisted the ink.
Dies have used are Sue Wilsons Holly Flourish. Spellbinder Poinsettia (using vellum rather than card and adding glitter), Dainty Dots embosing folder and the sentiment is from Stampin Up 'Greetings of the Season' set...
