Fairy magic!

I was invited to be a guest at

Allsorts 17th  Birthday celebrations

and I was lucky enough to win some Lavinia stamps

on their challenge blog recently.

So my card was sorted lol.

I hope you get time to join their celebrations

as I know there are lots of amazing prizes

up for grabs!!

For my card I made an 8" x 8" tiered card.

Papers are from Craftworks Cards - blush rose.

Stamps from Lavinia,

Oval Occasions and Forever Flourishing dies (SU).

I added fibres, glamour dust and pearls from

my stash.

I'll be giving this to another daughter-in-law

this month for her birthday.

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Wendy and she wants to see

Spring colours yellow and green.

I have gone with my Easter bunny stamp set

and this time coloured him with watercolour pencils.

I used some retired papers for the background layers

and added some die cut foliage using Forever Flourishing dies.

I punched a few flowers for the front,

gave him a little bow and a larger one to finish the tag.

I hope you get time to join us this fortnight.

Fun fold Birthday card

Front

Back

I have 5 fun fold cards to make for a customer, this is the second one.

So I thought I would have a go at a block card.

This is my first one and it physically hurt my brain to work out the measurements

for the size of card I needed lol. But once I got my head around it

I really enjoyed decorating it up.

The front is covered in daisies using Daisy Lane stamp set and punch.

The leaves are die cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies and coloured with ink.

I have added some card candi to the centres.

The papers are from a freebie during Sale-a-bration set last year.

Inside I have cut some butterflies using Brilliant Wings dies.

The little ladybirds are from Nitwits.

Daisy Lane and sketch 1

Happy Monday!

What a busy weekend that was.

My son moved mostly into his house on Saturday,

Poor husband and other son were exhausted doing the

heavy lifting.

On Sunday it was same son's birthday

so back up to see him again.

He is only 2 minutes drive from us now lol.

But so great to see them settling in!

So today I have started

Kendra's Card Sketch 3

Just pop over here for the free pdf download

of the cutting templates and sketches

and a great video from Kendra explaining everything!

For my cuts this time round I have used the

Ice Cream Corner dsp.

The first card sketch was lovely and simple

and worked beautifully with my Daisy Punches.

I used the sentiment from the Daisy Lane set

and the ink colour is terracotta tile.

You can see my video here.
