LiM 68

Hi fellow bloggeers -  another fab challenge from the ladies at LiM. This week it is a card for a new baby or small child so I have opted for a baby card.  I have used embossing folders from sizzix and cuttlebug. I coloured the sissiz image with promarkers and then cut out to fit the kanban die cut. which I embossed with the swiss dots folder. The base card and mat for thr sentiment were edged with the promatker too

 I used:

• sizziz baby carriage embossing folder
• cuttlebug swiss dors folder
• promarkers
• brilliance ink
• kanban die cuts
• cuttlebug slphabet dies
• centura pearl card
• kanban backing paper for mat and for the sentiment

LiM - 67

Hi fellow bloggers - here is my entry for this weeks LiM challenge. I have used a set of stamps I bought to add to some of my grandson's scrapbook pages as he is into his music in quite a big way and is good or is that just a granny speaking lol!

I have used

• 3 stamps from a set  from Blade rubber stamps some time ago. 
• black archival ink
• scor it to emboss 5 lines underneath to represent a music score blank - couldn't add any notes as my quota of stamps was used up

Saturday crafting

hi fellow bloggers - can't believe my eyes today as it is actually sunny lol! Anyway took time to finish a card started for my friend as she has been having a bad time. So reminding her that she has support.





I had some of the card left over from the gift bag in my last post so using spellbinders labels cut out 2 different sizes and embossed them with a sissix embossing folder with flowers that match the flowers on the strip of K&Co paper.  I used another sizzix folder with the sentiment and inked with gold brilliance ink pad. The sentiment and large shape were adhered with sticky pads to give some depth and then I found chartreuse coloured gems for the centre of the smaller shapes. The base card is centura pearl again as it is so lovely with a gorgeous sheen.

gift bag

hi fellow bloggers - found out at the weekend that I was late with my friends birthday - oops!. Especially as I had made her card in good time  [so not like me!]. So nipped out for some cadburys creme eggs - her fave - and a gift bag rustled up to go with the card.

I have used :

• Bazill card
• centura pearl card
• lemon organza ribbon
• persian accents spellbinders
• shapeabilities elements
• Labels 4 grand
• pearl gem

LiM 66

Hi fellow bloggers - another Saturday and a new LiM challenge. This time we have  to use the colour yellow.

I have used the negative of a spellbinders shape which resembles a flower and using sticky pads of different depths placed on top of a piece of lemon yellow card. I used a spellbinders square die to cut both to size then mounted on to a card blank that was edged with swiss dots. The flower centre is a black glitter dot. The sentiment is mounted on the same colour yellow card. Items used: -

• centura pearl white card
• lemon yellow pearl card
• anitas sticky glitter dot
• anitas black peel off
• swiss dots edge embossing folder
• spellbinders squares, diamonds and snowflake pendant

Inspiration from Sue Wilson

Hi again - my second card this morning is one that I took some inspiration from how Sue used new Spellbinders dies on the C&C shows she has been on this weekend. I rarely do cards in Sue's style but I liked how she used a flower day in one of her demos.
Although I don't have the same die it gave me an idea for one that I do have from a shapeabilities set I gotat the SECC. I have also gone for a bright colour scheme as it is May Day! 

I have used:

• Lime green and bright pink bazill [I just love this card]
• pearl card candi
• Martha Stewart punch
• dots and stripes ribbon from a set I got from QVC
• spell binders flourish from ornate artisan accents and flourish set
• spellbinders flower from snowflake pendant set

Sizzix Hello Kitty embosslit

Good Morning fellow blogger  happy May day- the rain is away - can I hope that today will at least be dry and bright!!?

As I said yesterday I am uploading a couple of cards this morning as i didn't get crafting at the weekend.. Here is a card I made from a Sizzix embosslit I found in my crafty stash - it is ages since I used this and thought it was about time I did lol [along with other stash items]! This started being my entry for this weeks LiM but decided it was too big an image to fit with the recipe they gave.
I have used:

• Hello Kittly embosslit
• pink bazill
• white centura pearl
• kanban black card
• spotty organza ribbon
• odd pens for flower doodles and sentiment
