Quick catch-up!

Sorry I've not posted for a while! I have made plenty more cards but my camera decided to run out of battery and I can't find the charger atm to recharge the bloody thing!

Anyway, I'm still about and have still been making plenty of cards! I had my hair cut yesturday and bought some of the most amazing skinny jeans ever (see picture)!

Went into town again today and got a few more decoupage kits and a cute little book with lots of different decoupage fairies in...so I'm well away!

Got a couple of challenges and swaps to take part in as well atm so we'll see how that goes!

I'll post again soon and there will be more pictures as soon as I find that damn battery charger!

Just a few more makes!

Just a few more of the cards I've been making recently!

Decoupage Introduction!

Went into town yesturday and as we walked past the local pub/hotel noticed they had a craft fair inside that said it included decoupage so of course I was straight in there to have a peek! I've watched so many decoupage demonstrations but not really been brave enough to have a really good stab at it. I found some lovely sheets and as soon as I got home could not wait to try them out so here is my first real attempt at decoupage!

I used a silver card blank and mounted some white corregated card to it to give it some deffinition. I then started with this cute decoupage fairy building up the layers as directed. I then mounted the "With Love" sentiment to the bottom right corner using 3D Foam pads and stuck a small pink heart embellishment to finish off, drawing around this with purple glitter pen just to add that extra sparkle!

Another quick blog!

Here's another quick example of a couple of my cards!

This card was made using elements from the LMCs Issue 17 kit and some bits from my own stash! White card base and green square of paper from own stock. I mounted the die-cut on the paper that I had pre-stuck onto the card blank using 3d foam pads. I then used some balloon die-cuts and foam stars from the LMCs kit to decorate the bottom half of the card. I stuck small green star embellishments to the foam stars and used a greeting from the kit mounted onto the card with 3d foam pads to give some more texture. The balloon strings I then drew on with green glitter gel pen.

This card was also made using parts from Issue 17 of LMCs as well as some corregated card from my own stash! I used the pink card blank and stuck the flowery strip directly to the card along the side. I stuck the baby rabbit die-cut to a gold corrgated card flower and then stuck this on to the middle of the card. I then added the butterfly, booties and "Congratulations" sentiment to the card using 3D foam pads. Lastly I mounted the "It's A Girl" sentiment to some white card and attached that to the card using 3D foam pads.

Thanks for dropping by and having a look. I will post some more cards soon!

The first blog!

Eeeeek!
I thought it was about time I stared a blog as it looks to me like everyone else is doing it and I'm feeling a little left out! I shall try and get some of my cards uploaded onto here to share with everyone but I can't promise how successfull I'm going to be as I'm new to all this blogging malarkay!

Right so here goes! I'll just post one for now and then post more later when I get a spare 5 minutes to write some more!

This card is one that I have made for the Let's Make Cards Issue 17 Challenge over on the Crafts Beautiful forum. The idea is you incorporate at least items from the kit that comes with the magazine into a card or similar.

I used some backing paper and some of the die-cut motifs to create this Baby Boy card as well as the larger motif and some gingham ribbon, all supplied in the kit. The blue card base and some glitter to finish off all came from my own stash.

I also used 3D foam pads to create a raised feel on all of the elements on the from of the card, I used thicked pads for the smaller detail and some thiner pads for the large Baby Boy motif.

Can't think of anything else for now, will write more and show some more pictures of cards as soon as I can!
