A Ching Chou Kuik Sweet Pea

I am officially in love with Ching Chou Kuiks stamps from Sweet Pea stamps.
Every one is a mini work of art and a true pleasure to colour On this card that I made recently for a birthday swap I have coloured the image with Copics and cut a flourish frame using my expression (and Make the cut) Nothing much else as the image is the star and just doesnt need lots of embellishments. Thanks for looking

Another baby

I just loved the last baby card I made using these cute LOTV stamps and now that I have given that card to one of my friends that has just had a gorgeous little boy I started to feel a bit broody (in a crafty way!) so here's a little girly version.
She is of course a Lotv stamp and one again I've used Nanas nursery papers. Now even though it is the boy option I have I still think the colours work ok for a baby girl card.
The stamp is coloured with promarkers and copics and I've used a gatefold card blank. The sentiments are Elzybells and finished with some ribbon that I coloured with promarkers to match the card

Diamond Anniversary

A friend at work asked for a card for her in-laws Diamond Wedding Anniversary, Wow! Anyone who has been married for 60 years deserves a special card.
I knew what I want to do and found the perfect template at the clipart fairy.
Resized it to fit an 8 inch square card base. I used interactive version so I could add my own wording.
The script used is Scriptina and after it was printed on to century pearl card which gives a beautiful sheen

I overwrote it with a quickie glue pen and then sprinkled on irridescent glitter The pages are edged with glitter.
I used ribbon from my stash and flowers and diamonte ribbon sliders both from Wild Orchid Crafts. Finally made a box using my trusty old Crafter companion board cut a window in it so the card could be seen through the acetate and decorated the box with a few more flowers
. As usual my photgraphy cant capture the sheer glitteryness of the wording or the irridecsent sheen of the paper. I am really pleased how it turned out as I wanted something special to celebrate such a huge occasion.

never ending christmas

Ok I know its a bit early but I made this for a recent Christmas in July swap I had just received several gorgeous nativity stamps from LOTV and just could not decide which one to use to thought I would use all of the ones I bought.

I also used a never ending card kit from the Lili of the valley too (I should have shares.)

Now, These cards are a little fiddly to make but well worth the effort in the end. I did have a few dumb moments like sticking the 2nd set of pictures on upside down and then desperately having to pry them off before the glue dried! but I got there in the end.

There is lots of sparkle which doesnt really show up on the picturs cos of my rubbish photography but I used Viva Decor glitter gel liner on the snowflakes aswell as irridecsent glitter (you can never have too much sparkle at christmas!)The papers are Docrafts I think as are the glitterations snowflake stickers.
Sorry for the long post but it is a neverending card!
