A Royal Occasion

Who doesn't love a wedding.

We had a great night last night watching the Royal Wedding,

so romantic. I had to make a card for the occasion and

i have also included a photo of our sweets table using

English china of course. I was in my element from 4pm till 11pm

watching the festivities on TV.

I had to include a crown.

 Candles, sweets and mini cupcakes.

Easter Display

I made an Easter Bunting this year for my display and since this

photo was taken i have added a few other trinkets.

I haven't got around to making many Easter cards this year

but i did manage to make the one below.

Only 4 more sleeps to the bunny hops by.

Hearts and Pearls

I wanted to make this card very special for my friends wedding.

The card is alot lighter in real life, the photos have come out a bit dark.

I used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla card stock.

I added lots of pearls , glimmer mist, distressed the edges and inked them.

I embossed the hearts and added lots of layers.

The card was front heavy but after finishing off the inside it sits ok.



Botanical Bonanza

I really like the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper.

I have been using it alot lately. One packet of DSP goes so far.

I have made a card and a cute little tissue box using the DSP.

I cut the butterflies out of the DSP and added some ink and distressed their wings,

they look like they are a stamp.

The Card.

 The Tissue Box



Easter Ice-Cream Box

This little box was so much fun to make.

To start with i used an ice-cream box for the

template, so i had to eat the ice-cream first.

My husband surprised me with a Magnum

Temptation ice-cream and i was a little

excited when i saw the box, he thought it was for

the ice-cream but i was thinking of what a great

template to make more boxes and that's what i did.

I pulled the box apart and traced it onto an A4

sheet of cardstock, it takes up about 3/4 of a sheet and then i cut out

a piece on the top of the box to add a piece of window sheet

so we can see into the box.

I am going to make Easter gifts with this box but it would be great

for any occasion, as the box is a good size inside.



Easily Botanical

I made this card with the New Botanical Gazette DSP.

I cut out a design that was already printed on the DSP.

This Easel card came together really quickly, as the

paper has alot of really nice pages with many designs.

I used a blender pen to colour in some of the flower petals

with the So Saffron ink pad.

Pink Birthday

This is an easel card i made for my daughter's birthday.

I used lots of pinks, flowers and bling.

She loved it, that makes me happy.

A Top Note Gift

Can you believe it is April already?

I have been having a play around with some new products

from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue that starts today.

I ran some chipboard through my Big-Shot and used the Top-Note Die

to cut out two Top-Notes. I glued them back to back.

I then covered both sides in Designer Series Paper and decorated.

I have made a little wall hanging.

I added some little scraps of paper so i can write down shopping

lists or must have stamping lists.

I decorated the front bit of paper but the others underneath are blank.

I have used the Gorgeous new Designer Series Paper,

Botanical Gazette and the stamp set French Foliage.

This would make a great little gift and would like nice in any colour combo.

Have a great weekend and enjoy life.

 I used my Crop-O-Dile to punch two small holes at the top to thread

the ribbon through and a small hole at the bottom to add a

little charm.

 The back side but you could also add paper to this side

and change it around to have a different look.
