Mums birthady card

Mum's birthday is next week so also made a card for her this weekend (hope she doesn't check my blog before then).

I purchased a new lace die on Saturday at the crafty bunch demo day so i thought i would give that a try.



I covered the card in a pale purple cardstock. i used the V&A Hanoverian range of paper and used the lace die on that, i added some champagne coloured ribbon tied in a knot and added some beige card candy

Very simple but i think very nice as well

what do you think

Tomato Ketchup card

I have been asked to make a tomato ketchup card for somebody at work who has tomato ketchup on everything.

I Wasn't really sure how to do this but thanks to a few ideas from several people,

 this is what i came up with

I printed the information about tomato ketchup off wikipedia, distressed using tim holtz pumice stone so it didint look quite so new and white.

I steamed the label off a tomato sauce bottle and printed a picture of a tomato sauce bottle

I think the finished effect is quite good, i hope he likes it, unfortunately his birthday is not for  few weeks so wont get to find out till then

What do you think

Demo day cards

Well, its been a weekend of card making.

It was demo day at crafty bunch on Saturday, Nikki made some lovely things so i have tried to recreate some of them.

I made the book marker card and Tia and i both attempted the

 bag thing (sorry don't know what the proper name for it is.

I love this card, i think for many reasons, I'm a big book reader, the papers are lovely and as a cat owner i love the cat image

The image and paper on the book marker are both from the pampered pets range, the backing paper is from my supply of cardstock

These bags/boxes look very complicated to make but are actually quite simple once you know how and thanks to Nicky i now know how to.

Mine is the green one, i used green card and covered it with some of the green paper from the pampered pets range and used some yellow ribbon

Tia has used pink card and used the honey and hugs sheep paper with some pink ribbon, she is giving this to her friend for Easter with chocolate in it

Hope you like them both

Enjoy
