Here are two more cards the stamps are from  LILLI OF THE VALLEY. the top card is a pink swirl cardstock from Hunkydory (Again) coloured in with Pro-markers the little stamped sentiment is one I have had for age's, sorry I have no idea who it's by.
The lower card has a Martha Stuart punch along the side Double loops I think it is called! the stamp again is by LILLI OF THE VALLEY and the paper is K&CO Mira paper stack. the paper is much nicer in the flesh as it were the photo does not do this justice........However I hope you like them.

Butterfly Dreams Unmounted Stamp sheet - A4

Butterfly Dreams Unmounted Stamp sheet - A4

This is a link (I hope) to the stamp set I used for todays blog.
GOOD MONDAY MORNING Peep's! Well it's it's pouring here Hope it's nice wherever you are..



 Here's a stamp from CHOCOLATE BAROQUE This is GLENDA WENTWORTH's New company That used to be Graphigus and Elusive Images. The stamp is on an A4 sheet and this is just one of the seven stamps from that set. It's a large stamp and you will need a very large acrylic block  to stamp it out I have a square 6x6 block.   Because of the stamps size, and the business of the pattern I haven't put it with patterned paper or card but just left it plain. I hope you like these.
All I have done is coloured in with pro markers and added a ribbon on a couple and flowers on the bottom card (To hide a mistake)! added some simple matting and layering on gold or silver mirri card and there we are, these four took me an hour .......I hope you like them.

Green ribbon......
Strange thing to chat about!  But all will become clear. I love green any shade of green.
I have so much green ribbon in varying shades and width's I have challenged myself to try and use it instead of just looking at it and admiring it so expect to see a fair bit in the coming weeks!

OK! For this card I used an 8x8 white scalloped card. Two Pieces of cardstock by K&Co from a Christmas stack of there's I bought ages ago called YULETIDE The stamp was the new Lilli Of The Valley stamps and I used Momento London Fog to stamp it coloured in with pro markers. The green sentiment is a Honkydory one that I had spare hope you like it.

This is a Interesting design Not mine I can't lay claim to it but it is made by two different size stamps from CLARITY STAMPS called folk trees when stamped the trees make a lovely Snowflake matted and layered on red and white cardstock and some red *gem's* stuck here and there for good measure I used cranberry from dew drop inkpads  and a little red organza ribbon. Job done!
Wow well this is it the very first post......It's only took me........ How many years?
I hope you enjoy looking around.  I hope to have lots for you to look at soon. But for now thank you very much for stopping by. Hug's and Smile's. XX

One of the hardest cards to do. Not just because it's so sad and deeply personal but I think you have to know the person well to be able to get the card Just Right.
I used for this card An A 4 piece of cardstock folded in half then trimmed to  21 centimetres or about 8 inches. I cut a strip of bazzil lilac card about  3 centimetres or an inch and a half wide and ran it through the cuttlebug swirls folder, I had to turn over the card and do the other side as the folder wasn't long enough then glued this to the side of the card.  Now this left me with a slight line however......When I cut out the cross and shadow cross at 5 inches which can be found on the WEDDING CRICUT CARTRIDGE. I glued these together and then ran when dry ran the completed  cross  in the swirls folder through the cuttlebug.. I then placed the cross  so that it was hiding the faint line that the folder had made And took two ribbons one lilac one white the lilac one was wider so this went to the bottom the white ribon on the top tied around the card and secured at the back with a small strip of thin double sided tape making sure both ribbons covered the tape. I added a peel off sticker to the outside in silver and one on the inside and that was it The sentiment is a peel of sticker as Jasmine's Deepest Sympathy didn't seem to sit right on the top......I think that was me on the day with being impatient more than anything else. A few words inside the card and there one Sympathy card. Hope you like it.
