True Love designer papers...

Made this card with flowers from Stampin Up True Love designer papers..

 Just love the flower designs and have made lots of cards using them. This one I made for my friend Gill who's birthday it is today and she loved it.

It's nice to have the weather a bit warmer..   hoping tomorrow I might even be able to have a little stroll around the village now my foot is a lot better..could just do with a bit of sunshine...

At least now we have some light at the end of the tunnel but just hope people don't go too bad when they are 'let out'...

Gone to Seed...Sympathy

 After seeing Jules's post a few weeks ago reminded me that I had bought this lovely Woodware stamp a long time ago...managed to find my stamp,  blew off the dust and made a couple of cards.... 

 I did initially buy this stamp to use  for a sympathy card and also a masculine card....  I just coloured the seed pods and put some little seed beads in the centre of the dandelion flower..

Had notification last night from the Government saying because I am classed as extremely vulnerable I have to isolate now until the end of March...that might be reviewed mid March but I'm not holding by breath... 

Just looking forward to getting out for a little walk when my foot is better...  We've made it this far so what's another 6 weeks!..  I'm so thankful I have my crafts and hobbies to keep me sane...

Stay safe...

Valentine, Birthday or Anniversary?

This versatile barcode stamp I have had for years... I was going to use it on the back of my cards but then decided I could also use is for actually making  cards..  .... this is Hubby's Valentine card.

Its  a very cold day down here in Somerset so crafting and keeping warm is the only thing to do....

Thanks for stopping by

Sapphire Anniversary...

It was ours friends Sapphire Wedding Anniversary yesterday and this is the card I made for them using one of Chloe's Cut n Emboss folders......the card is quite glittery but doesn't show up in the photograph.. 

Its certainly chilly this morning with with beautiful sunshine...  thankfully no snow and just hope it stays that way.

Stay warm and safe everyone...

Art Gallery....

Just love the new Art Gallery set by S.U.... I've made several different cards using the set.... I think it's one of my all time favourite sets....

Its the first time I've used some of Magenta DSP on the first card also used a SU embossing folder.

Second card I've stamped the background on  So Saffron card using the same ink....whilst having a bit of a clear out I found some Ombre paper that I used on parchment years ago...added two little dragonflies to finish the card off.

My foot seems to he healing nicely and I can now get around without my crutches except for using the stairs... but still wearing my lovely 'orthopedic' shoe....

We've both had our first vaccinations a week ago...so looking forward to when we can go out again...

Stay safe everyone..

Back in action...

Almost two weeks ago I had a fall when I came out of the dentist and ended up in A&E with a broken metatarsal and fracture... didn't find it easy using crutches and had to sit with my foot elevated for a week...down to one crutch now so I am able to get in my craft room...yiippeee.

I've made a couple of these cards for friends Anniversaries using SU Designer paper that went with the Free as a bird set.  At least I could sit a fussy cut the little birds and flowers.

Hubby has been brilliant cooking, cleaning, washing & ironing and looking after me so well...

It's also been a worrying time for us as our eldest daughter and family have all had Covid...the children weren't too bad but our daughter and SIL were quite poorly...thankfully they are now getting better.

Thanks for passing by

Pampered Pets Class by Post....

In December I bought the Pampered Pets card Class from the lovely  Su Demonstrator  Stacey Marsh  ...

We had four cards to make in the class but Stacey was so generous with her A4 card and DSP I've managed to make all these EXTRA cards, you can see her original class cards on her blog or facebook page...

I've managed to use all nearly all the card and DSP even making two gift tags to go with cards.   Even now I have some cats and one dog left.....I really enjoyed playing with the DSP....thank you Stacey for a brilliant class.  Pop along to her blog Stacey does several different classes by post.

Hope you are all managing to keep warm and safe..
