I'm back...for today at least!

Hi All,

After having a three month break from blogging, I thought I would pop in and post a few pics of cards I have created over the months.  I've had major surgery so rest was instructed.  Do you know how frustrating that is, recovering when you have a lot of craft stuff staring you in the face?...lol

Anyhoo, here's some crafty makes:

                                  

                                                   

               

I apologise for pics being all over the place, I tried & tried to align them neatly but blogger didn't like my style!

I hope to start my Christmas cards very soon.  I say start, I did actually make some already - they were sent to:

FESTIVE FRIENDS 

Check the link out.  It's such a lovely thing to do, if you've not already done something like this before!

But first, before Christmas cards, I have a few family birthday cards to do, starting NOW....lol

Until next time,

Pop, pop, boo!

Good morning, Crafters :)

I hope you all had a lovely weekend?

Today's post shows you my first attempt at making a Pop up box card! looking back I needed to play around with the positioning of flowers but I know for next time! I got the measurements for the card here & must say it was a clear & easy tutorial.  I practiced on copier paper first, although a bit thin to use, it was a good thing to do as I didn't want to ruin any good card stock!

I decorated my card using papers from Crafter's Companion's  latest Inspiration issue 4 (Spring edition) the papers are fab to use & designs so cute.

Ingredients used:

Box card template

Centura Pearl cardstock

Paper elements from 

Crafter's Companion Inspiration magazine

 Crafter's Companion Collall glue

Diamond stickles glitter glue

Nellie's multi frame die- square stitching-one

Spellbinders - adorning squares die

Happy Birthday die - free die from

simply cards & paper craft magazine

So, for a first attempt, not bad, me thinks -  but there is room for improvement!

I think my next blog post will be me creating a card  using more papers from CC's Inspration magazine..

Stay tuned....

Until next time,

Centura Pearly

Good Morning all!

Another dreary day here down in good ol' Essex! Hope you have sunshine where you are.  It's going to be a crafty day for me today (yay) - not feeling too bad so hopefully I'll achieve more than I have done, lately!

Anyway, on to my card - which was made for my Nephew's girlfriend.  I wanted to play around with my dies and how better than using them with Centura Pearl card stock.  I just love that card, fabulous to emboss too...

Here is the front

Hi Guys!

Another scheduled post - I think I am getting the hang of these now!

Well, like I said before, here I am, back again with more Bebunny! Can you tell I really love this CD rom? hehe

This time I have printed out an easel card template onto Centura card & added all elements from the CD - plus a few bits from my own stash.  I also printed of the exploding box too and putting that together was a first for me. Simples!  I also printed off some backing paper and made my own envelopes for the card & book mark (that was printed from CD too)

As you can see,  I had a fab reason for making all of these, as they are for my Niece's 9th birthday!  Unfortunately, I wont get to see her open these on her birthday but I really hope she likes them!

                               Exploding box open!

                 

                                         ....& closed

                                                                       

So, that's my run of Bebunny for a while, it's back to Christmas cards tomorrow.  I've only made about 25 so best get my fingers out to do some more!

Until next time,

Crafty hugs,

I'm back again, crafty friends!

Hey crafty buddies!

Thank you for you lovely comments on  my last post! I'm pleased to say, feeling a tad better but still not where I want to be.

I have been making a bunch of 'Thank you' cards the past few days, well, they are being made in dribs & drabs, when energy gives me permission to carry on with them lol.  I've been using Crafter's Companion,  BeBunny stamp & Sheena douglas'  'A little bit floral' stamps - Iris & to colour I used my Spectrum Noir pens. I still have a long way to go with my colouring technique but, hey, I enjoy it so hopefully will get better at it!

This was a Thank you card for my Dad & his wonderful partner, to say (obviously) Thank you for my birthday gifts.  My Dad's partner loves Iris' & she was thrilled with the card!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge(s)

CraftyCatz - Anything NOTsquare

Okay, that's me finished for now.  I'll be back soon with my BeBunny cards to show you.

Until next time,

Crafty hugs!
