HEARTS & FLOWERS ANNIVERSARY CARD

Hello Bloggers!

This is only my second post this week.  I've been around commenting a little but not posting!  I have just had so much to do this week and haven't been able to fit in any blogging time really!

Sam is on his travels up in Perth in Scotland where he is on a football tour until Monday.  He hasn't called but I wasn't expecting him to really.  Too busy having a good time I expect!

Anyway, I'm keeping with my theme of cards from the past and I have really enjoyed this trip down memory lane!  I think this will be the last card from the past for now anyway!

So here it is!  Hope you like it!

I made this card whilst I was working at the Papermill shop back in April 2006 as a display card for a demonstration I did there using the Shapeboss and stamping and embossing techniques!  If only Nesties had been around then - my oval would have been perfect!  LOL!

Supplies Used:-

All Cardstock - The Paper Mill Shop

Patterned Paper - From a Pad by All Night Media 

Shapboss Embossing System 

Rubber Stamp - All Night Media 

Embossing Powder - Heat It Up 

Dome Alphabet Stickers - Papermania 

Metal Heart Embellishment - Papermania 

Ribbon - From Stash!

Colouring Medium - Sakura Stardust Gel Pens 

3d Foam Pads

Glitter 

Heart Gemstone - Papermania 

I would love to receive your comments!

Have a great weekend!

A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR MY MOTHER-IN-LAW 2006

I was thinking today! Should I show you a card that I've most recently made or should I go into my back catalogue as I have so many photos of cards that I have made and haven't seen the light of day for years.  So what I thought I would do is spend the next 5 days showing some cards that I've made in the past.

I made this card for my Mother-in-Law's birthday back in June 2006 - so only just after I made the last one I posted a couple of days ago.  Another card pre-Spellbinders, Promarkers, etc!

My MIL keeps all my cards that I've given her over the years.  They really mean a lot to her and I think she loves the fact that someone has spent the time making them for her.

I just want to thank everyone who has taken time to read my posts and leave comments on my blog.  They are very much appreciated and I have been absolutely delighted with the positivity shown towards my work!

I would love to receive your comments!

Supplies Used:

Ivory Pearlescent Card - The Paper Mill Shop 

Vintage Ladies Stamps - Hero Arts 

Inks - Pretty Color

Pearlescent Paper - Craftwork Cards 

Skelton Leaves - Papermania 

Corner Stamps - Not Sure of Brand 

Handmade Paper 

Purple Gemstones - Papermania 

Ribbon - From Stash 

3d Foam Pads 

Gold Rub On Lettering - Not Sure of Brand 

Looking Back, I think this is quite a technical card considering I was still a beginner.  There's lots of different techniques and details.  Personally I think its strong points are the colours used and the tag and the over stamping of the vintage ladies.

You can tell I used to teach for Adult Education, I'm even giving myself constructive feedback!
