50th Birthday Card

This is a card I made for a friend who is now 50 - hahaha

I made an A4 size card 'cause I thought I would rub it in a bit! It is done with 3 backing papers I had in a kit from C & C. The first one is stuck to the card and the other two have been cut into to decoupage the fairy and butterflies.

The letters and words were cut on the Cricut in pink glitter card and black card and, the pink laid slightly off centre to create a shadow effect.

Glitter glue added to bring a bit of bling and ribbons at the top.

Thanks for looking :O))

Better late than never!!!

I know, how naughty am I, 2 months and no blog entry!!! Hangs head in shame.

I have been busy making soap recently. I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed doing it and my hands are lovely and soft. :O))

First picture on the left shows a rectangle with lavender flowers and scent and the other one is a heart shape (although not clear) with rose petals and fragrance





the next one shows opaque soap, one fraganced with Lavender and one with blue cornflower petals and wild orchid essence











This one is shell shaped soaps moulded into clear soap, fragranced with and ocean breeze aroma and a clear soap with blue cornflower petals












Another heart shaped soap layered with red and white opaque compound














Last but not least, 2 clear bars of soap, one with random opaque soap dropped into it (I really like this effect) and another clear soap with more seashell soaps inside.









Thank you for looking, I appreciate all your comments. Click on an image for a bigger view.

Slider Card

After watching Ideal World yesterday afternoon, I decided to have a go at a slider card.

I didn't make a note of any measurements etc. so I had to rely on what I could remember. Doh.

So this is my version.

On the left is the card flat.










Below is the card with the slider pulled up.


All in all, I don't think it turned out too bad.

Altered Bingo Board

A forum friend very kindly sent me a couple of Bingo Boards to alter.

After finally deciding what to do, this is the first one.

On the left shows the board in it's original state













Below shows the finished board. I thought I would let my Daughter have the first one so I chose Fish - there's a surprise LOL. I think she likes it. I added a fishy charm at the bottom.



















Thanks for looking :o))

Lap Top Card

A friend wanted a card for a colleague of hers at work, something officey (is that a word?)

Anyhow, I decided to do a 'Lap Top'









Above shows the front
Below is the inside of the card




















Below is the stamped image I used as the screen, it is a house mouse stamp.
Hope she likes it

Black and White ATC's

I was so pleased the way these came out I thought I would share them with you.

There is a Rainbow Swap each month on the forum, this month the colours are Black and White.

I love the monochrome images.

The Retro Ladies are a sheet on unmounted stamps I indulged in from Tanda. I just love them.

They have been stamped in black Versamark an clear embossed then masked and stamped again with various background stamps. I am really pleased with the effect.

The cherry one is stamped on black card with clear ink and embossed with white powder and the butterfly is a positive and negative image.



















Thanks for looking :O))
