Saturated Canary Birthday girl card

Good morning/evening,

I have created one of my favourite type of cards today - girly and cute!! I love using Saturated Canary digis (click on their name to be taken to the store). 

I bought the corners from Live and Love Crafts store and the papers are from Echo Park. The gorgeous cloud, pearls and bling centred flower are from Flourish with a Bling and you can find their store by clicking HERE.

I created the cloudy background by using a self-made template and chalks sponged upwards.


Flourish with a Bling are a retail store as well as wholesale so you can buy direct from us now! We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

My Nan's 90th Birthday card

Hi everyone,

Well, this was what my Paris and England trip was all about, surprising my Nan in England for her 90th Birthday! She was very excited to see my sister and I and we had a wonderful time catching up with her and all our family there. Paris was a little side trip which was amazing!! 

Anyway, lol, back to my card, I printed out the sentiments on my printer. First I printed them on normal paper then lined the sentiments up and lightly stuck my patterned paper over the normal paper then re-printed it so it printed on my tags. Easy!!

The gorgeous bling flowers are a new addition to Flourish with a Bling's beautiful range of products and you can check them out by clicking HEREIf you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

I will be back very soon XOX

Hi to all my wonderful followers, 

Just thought I better let you know I'm overseas at the moment hence the lack of blog postings. I've been in Paris and England for the last week and a half (I live in Australia) and so I haven't been able to post any cards on my blog while I'm away. Thought I better let you know where I was just in case anyone noticed I was missing lol.

I'm loving my holiday, my sister and I have come over to England to surprise my Nan for her 90th Birthday (it's okay, we didn't surprise her too much lol, was a little worried). We stopped first in Paris which was also beautiful.

When I get back I have a couple of cards to show you already that I made before I left.

I hope you're all having a wonderful Summer (or winter),

XOX Lucy
