another easter card....

I bought this stamp set last year and didn't get round to using it so this year.....

the design is from our daily bread, as is the die cut background....
I used the stamp to create a backing paper...embossed the main image  and left is plain as I liked the clean look for this one....
thank you for popping by my blog today and I hope you are enjoying your day and maybe doing a bit of crafting ....

a sunday Christmas card.....

yes I am keeping up with my make one christmas card every week and determined to use up stuff in my stash....

I bought the tim Holtz star of wonder stamps when they were in the sale ...the background paper is a free printable and I have distressed it with walnut stain...embossed the sheet with a crafters companion embossing folder...and then rubbed gilding wax over the stars...the peace sentiment is also Tim Holtz.....and made a messy bow....
I hope you are enjoying your weekend and thank you for stopping by my blog today

one of my favorite LOTV images.....the sentiment is Sue Wilson along with the easter eggs...

A Happy birthday card

I always find making cards for gentlemen difficult but my friend Brian is a animal lover so I thought this might be appropriate

this is foxy stamp from woodware...stamped and embossed in black and then coloured with my crafters companion water colour pencils...a first for me....the backing paper is from a Phill Martin pad and the flowers are heartfelt creations stamps and dies...
I was inspired by Francoise Read when she was on Hochanda ....
I hope you are having a great day and maybe doing a bit of crafting .....
