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

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!

Aww, New Baby Girl....

It's another post from me- and with it comes this pretty, cute little card made from the Crafter's Companion Paintbox Poppet CD elements!  using everything from papers, tags, insert & envelope from the CD.  I've  also added ribbon, button & gems from  my own stash! (Oh, I used some gingham pink paper from my stash also). The tags have been personalised with baby's name, birth date & her weight & length.  I loved putting all this together and it helped a lot by being all PINK! Love it! 

I was asked by my B.I.L  to make him this card  for a lady who has had a baby girl - & only after having given the card to my  B.I.L, I learnt how special this card was to be, as the new Mum herself had lost quite a few pregnancies  before this beautiful, cute little baby girl  arrived into the world.  So, not only am I  pleased with how the card came out - I am so very pleased & happy, to know that this little girl arrived safe & soundly into the world.  I wish her Mum & Dad so much happiness with their new Daughter.

Ok, just a short one.  Off to do some chores before resuming more card making!

How's your day going?

Until next time,

Mandy :)

Busy, Busy...

Hi!

I'm just wondering whether today's weather is going to make it's mind up...well, I guess being British weather then may be not!  We've had beautiful sunshine this morning, and now, its grey and raining heavily!

Card 1

I've made two new 'New Home' cards, one of our neighbour's who moved yesterday & the second card is for the new family that has moved into her old house! I hope they like them.  These two cards were made using a digi from CraftsUprint  & backing papers from my stash. I've decoupaged the flowers and cute birds - and added 'New home' text from rub-on and peels offs from my stash!  I'm quite liking how they turned out.  The pic doesn't do them justice (prob my non-camera skills played a part in that!)

Card 2

..well, that's it for now.  Thanks for dropping by! Don't be frightened to leave a comment.  All comments gratefully received! haha.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Until next time, 

Mandy :)
