A nautical card...

I needed to make some masculine cards. These could be for any occasion really...

I just love this stamping up set and I also am enjoying becoming familiar with Graphically Speaking..a very usefull cricut cart. The compass is cut in two differnet sizes and colours and simply placed one on top of hte other. There are so many possibilities with this cart. I need so many more hours in my days!...and I know I am not alone in that!!!

Catch up soon and TFL

Thankyou card...

I have enjoyed fiddling and making this card today. Now I have four ready to send for our swap and I just need to stamp some images to send as well! It looked unfinished until I used the leaf stamp and versamark. The photo is a bit glary

Not sure what is happening in this area today but the fire siren has just gone for about the 5th or 6th time today.

Here are both card boxes completed...

A cupcake with a difference....

This card has amused me for quite a while this afternoon. I actually did some sewing on it!

Now I was a bigtime sewer at one stage and just love machine embroidery but papercraft has taken over.

The photo of this card may not do it justice.

The card is from Wild Card cartridge which I am just loving. I covered the background with stitched rows of white lace adn then added a border of white ricrac, all this because I could not decide on what to do in the background.

The cuttlebug came in very handy. I used the swiss dots for the icing on the cupcake and the stripes for the cupcake base. Then the hearts from walk in my garden and used stamping up shimmer on these and the candle and also on the butterflies.

The butterflies are my favourite from spellbinders nestabilities and these work very well in the cuttlebug if you have the correct sandwhich recipe.

The card is large about 9 inches high and 6 inches wide. It is definitely a scrappy statement!

Hope you like it....obviously it tickles my fancy!!
