Lacy Sunshine Christmas Card

Hi Crafty friends, I sliced my finger while crafting today with my craft knife so it's made it almost impossible to type (luckily it was my left index finger and not my right one so I was able to keep cardmaking, there's always a bright side lol). Anyway, so I'll keep it short and sweet as I have 3 cards to post tonight (if I can do them all before bedtime).

Bugaboo and Cinderella love shoes!!

Hi Friends,

I was so happy to see another 2 crafty friends started following me over the weekend, I'm almost at 200! I love sharing my cards on here as it's so nice to receive feedback and it makes it more exciting when creating a card knowing other crafties might like to see it.

I created this card with a Bugaboo image and sentiment, they are hilarious aren't they and I just couldn't resist this funny one! I used some sparkling silver glitter paper and the patterned paper is by Bo Bunny, one of my favourite paper companies.

Black & White rocker card

Hi, here's my last card of the day, a rocker card.

I was wanting to make a black and white card for a couple of challenges but my first card turned out really ordinary so I haven't and won't post it lol. Do you ever do that? If I'm not proud of my creation I don't enjoy sharing it. I usually play around with it until I'm happy but sometimes there's just no saving it.

I am much happier with this one so I'm sharing and entering some comps with it. I have used a Floppy Latte silhouette digi image. I also used part of a rhinestone flourish and flower from Flourish with a Bling.

Bugaboo rocker card

Hi crafty friends,

Today I've created a card with a gorgeous Bugaboo image on it. I have been lucky enough to win 4 lots of $21 Bugaboo vouchers this month and it's only the 12th day!! I can't believe how lucky I have been, perhaps I should buy a lotto ticket hehe. Anyway, I've had this cute little guy for ages and I've finally got around to using him (I coloured him as soon as I got him as he's so adorable, just hadn't "made" him into a card yet).

Here come the Boys have a rocker card challenge so I thought I'd give it a go. I forgot how much I love to make rocker cards, I think I've only done one before but not a boys one. 

Anyone who follows me will know I usually add my cards to a gazillion challenge blogs but Southern Girls have a great "sweets for my sweet" challenge and they only allow 9 challenges :(
they have ADFD and Milk Coffee prizes up for grabs so I really want to enter it :).

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Gems, gems, gems

Clear it out - Smores (using a sponsor's image)

Craft your Passion - Add some doodling

Cutie Pie - Little cuties

Heck of a Challenge - In the frame (sentiment)

Here come the Boys - Rocker cards
Paper Makeup Stamps - Stitching
Pile it on - Show us your tools (dies, embossing powder & heat gun, glitter pen)

Southern Girls - Sweets for my sweet

Tiddly Inks Anniversary card for my hubby

Hi there, thanks for coming to see my card I made for my hubby. It's our 17 year wedding anniversary on the weekend and I love to make him a card each year. He always buys me a card but writes such beautiful things each time, I really look forward to it (does that sound a bit soppy lol??)

I have used this gorgeous digi image from Tiddly Inks twice before which is very unusual for me but I'm not great at shadings and yet this dress is so easy to give colour and texture to so maybe that's why I have a soft spot for it hehe. If you click on the label at the bottom of this post that says Tiddly Inks it will show my other two cards, they are all very different, I hope you'll check them out. I love this sentiment and thought it goes so beautifully with the image as they seem to be just enjoying the moment. 

The gorgeous antique gold flourish and pearls are by Flourish with a Bling, aren't they beautiful? They come in a set of 2 and some pearls as well and they are named after my daughter Chloe (I designed this flourish).

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.
