Bikie Boy Birthday card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi crafty friends,

Me again with a boy's card this time. I have used an image from DigiStamp Boutique. I printed him out twice and coloured his head and front of the bike on one image and fussy cut it to add to the main image so he's a little bit 3D. 

I have used gorgeous toadstools and pearls from my company, Flourish with a Bling, who is having a special April deal - free postage worldwide for all orders over $20AUD, not bad huh, I hope you'll go and check out our website store as our products are unique and beautiful.

Autumn Easel card

Hi to all my lovely followers, can I just say how happy I am that you are interested in my cards, it makes creating them that much more special when you know craftlovers are going to see them rather than make a card and hide it away or give it to one person. I am almost at 200 followers so I'm thinking I might ask my business buddies if I can give a little FWAB candy away when I reach that milestone :). See below the card for a huge special we have on in October.

I have used quite a few FWAB products on my card today - Lee's tree and grass set, Trent's Fence and Taylah's Toadstools. I decided to make this girl quite large, she's from Digi Darla and she's perfect for Autumn cards. Click on any red words to be taken to the store or actual item.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If you're order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders). If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

They are perfect for scrapbooking, off the page items and cardmaking.

I'm a guest designer at My Sheri Crafts

Happy Mother's Day!! I hope you're getting spoiled today if you're a mum celebrating mother's day today. 

I'm a guest designer over at My Sheri Crafts this challenge, I hope you check it out as it's a great blog and the challenge this time is to create 3D flowers on your card. I made my 3D flowers with two retro flower punches and a stick! I know many crafters have these punches but I haven't seen many flowers made this way and yet it's my favourite way to use the flower punches. See below for basic tutorial but feel free to contact me if you ever have any queries. You can buy the fence, toadstools, grass, leaves and pearls from Flourish with a Bling.
