Who loves Cadbury?

Cadbury purple that is but I also love the chocolate too, who doesnt?

This was the request for this wedding set of Card, (shown previous post) guest book, keepsake box and photo album for a wedding gift, really enjoyed making this as its my favourite colour, my friend is collecting on Sunday so hope she is happy with it.

I have shown the lids off the boxes and also made her a wee matching tag.

I have printed all the labels on the computer and matted onto shimmer purple paper and embossed the backing card on my hougie in a lattice effect and punched out the butterflies and added some bling with some stickles on the crossing of the lines of the embossing.

Hedgies Love Letters and I have been Minxed!!`

Hedgie is posting his Love Letters for this weeks I Love Promarkers Challenge (64 Song Title)

Hedgie has been coloured with Promarkers and mounted on Nesties inked with Versacolour, sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the flowers are punched, the wee strip of paper is from my scrap drawer and is made by my local supplier.

I have entered him into the challenge above and my song title is Love Letters sung by Elvis,

 

I also went for a haircut today and the beautician in the salon had just started doing these minx toenails so I thought I would give it a wee go as the weather has been so nice my tone up flip flops have never been off my feet, I will apologise for my horrible feet ( they need some TLC)but at least may nails look nice lol!

Less is More Week 11 Acetate, oh! and me!

 

I have decided to enter a challenge! Not another one!

that must be about 3 this year!!, yes I am a bit slow at the challenges but I am definately going to make an effort this year, however, I'm not really impressed with my effort but I will give it a whirl anyway.
I am entering into the Less is More Acetate challenge as I really like LIM cards.

I punched out 3 flowers with acetate and ran over them with my embossing tool towards teh tip of the flower to give shape and the whiteness, I would have preferred a larger flower but I dont have a big enough punch and would have also liked a white sentiment , but didn't have anything to do that with either, so I have used a swirly peel off and a lush brad for the centre of the flower, a wee bit white ribbon and that was me , think its a wee bit too plain but it was a first attempt with acetate for something other than for 3d glass effect!

Wee close up of the flower from the side.

 

Also finally got a picture of me on my blog , at long last , and I dont resemble a plum at all!! I don't think I do anyway! My son took the picture for me , he's a clever wee boy!

Thanks for looking and any comments you leave a very much appreciated , now I must go off to bed!...K xx

Male Retirement Card

 

My friend needed a special retirement card and wanted it themed due to his job,(no prizes for guessing what it is!) think this fitted the bill! excuse the pun!

I downloaded the hat from the internet, cut it out and glossed it. 

Used my nesties and my MS punch and the paper is their own paper from my local supplier, sentiments on the pc and a few bits of card candy.

Thanks for looking and any comments gratefully rec'd...........K xx

Pretty in Pink

Loving this kraft paper I got from craftwork cards recently and I followed the same design I earlier for a ruby wedding but this time for a couples wedding day.

Not had much time lately to do any cards but hopefully get some time this weekend as my wee pixie is away to brownie camp and I have done enough painting for just now, feel a crafty weekend coming on! :-)

No Stamp Required

 

As most of my followers will know I don't do an awful lot of stamping or images on my cards , mostly die cuts etc. This card was for a 60th (yes I know I am stating the obvious) for a lady who likes softer colours and not too much bling, thankfully she loved this.

I liked it so much I made another on for my friends mum for her

they were so please with it I have made a couple of Mother's Day cards the same and my mums birthday card , will post those later.

thanks for looking , now off to do a bit of blog hopping before work............K x

40th Card for a Man

 

Oh how we hate doing mens cards, I think it is because we cant pretty them up with flowers, ribbon and glitter cos all us crafter's are quite girly when it comes down to it!

Anyway , my old work colleague asked me to do a 40th for her hubby and he is a big Ranger's fan so rather than do a football theme just thought I would use the bright blue as the colour is lovely.

Couldn't post before his birthday which is today, just in case she was on my site and he saw it!

Paper - doodlebug

Sentiment- pc and craftwork cards

Embossing folder and nesties used

Card candy - craftwork cards

below is the one she wanted for her son to give

 

sorry my pics are so rubbish , I promise to get better !

Wedding Card

 

Had to do a large wedding card for my friend and have to give credit to one of my docraft buddies  Claire for the idea of the flowers round the nestie as this is one of her ideas. I embossed the backing card on my score board and done the sentiment on the computer , just after I punched the last flower I broke my punch! the metal bit that the flower comes out broke clean off, think I may be over using it !

thanks for looking and any comments are always worth a return visit.........K x
