Quite Curvy Mother's Day

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

We had rain all day Saturday so we spent

it painting again then I watched a movie with my daughter

to relax 😁

My card today is another commission for

Mother's Day.

I used one of my retired embossing folders for the base

then ran a sheet of the Oh So Ombre (free) papers

through with my Pinewood Planks embossing folder.

The flower image is a pre printed one from LOTV

which I framed using the Quite Curvy stamps and dies.

They were coloured with blends

(rococo rose and granny apple green).

The sentiment is from

Strong and Beautiful stamp set

and the Granny was stamped using

Make A Difference stamp set.

I decorated with some ribbon and pearls.

Butterfly Gap Card

Happy Monday!

I made this card for a customer last week

following the theme from Valerie's

Butterfly Challenge

G for Gap card.

I had just received my new Curvy Dies and thought they

would be perfect to make the front a bit more interesting

along the gap.

I went with Flirty Flamingo colours in the card, ink and brights papers.

The image is a pre printed one from LOTV.

I stamped the butterflies using Butterfly Gala stamp set

and punched out with butterfly duet punch.

The sentiment is from Strong & Beautiful stamp set.

I punched the sentiment out using the

Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and

added some blushing bride metallic ribbon.

Snow is still lying here, very crispy after a

night of minus temperatures

but the sun is shinning!!

I am happy to say my little blog tool has returned

making editing much quicker!

I am hoping anyone who has shopped with me this month

has, by now, received their goodies.

If not, please be patient. With all the trouble at the docks,

covid and brexit the world is just fighting against us!

Stampin' Up! are on top of their end and hopefully

everything will settle down soon.

 

Birthday book card

I thought I would share one of the

commissions I made last week.

This one is a book shape with lots of layers.

The die is a tattered lace one and

I used my lovely new paper blooms papers to decorate

along with a few stamp sets:

Free as a Bird, Meant to Be, Make a Difference,

Oval occasions and Daisy Lane!

The main colour used was Rococo Rose

in the ink and ribbon.

Numbers at Tag Tuesday

The theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by me and I want to see you use

NUMBERS

on your tags!

For this one I just went mad with my numbers!

The donkey was stamped first.

Don't ask me why I went with a donkey 😂

I just fell in love with the stamp.

This stamp set is super cute and is one of the stamp sets

that you can earn during SALE-A-Bration next week!

I have coloured him with blends.

I then stamped the large numbers from Family Party

 at the bottom

and over-stamped in different colours to highlight.

The white area was then stamped with small numbers

from Make a Difference

and I highlighted them in the matching colours using blends.

I stamped the Happy New Year from Itty Bitty Christmas

and finished it all by blending with bumblebee ink

and adding a stapled ribbon.

and are all safe and well!!

We are supposed to be on a full lock down,

with only essential shops open

but while out walking the amount of cars in the

shopping centre car parks was scary to say the least!!

When will they ever learn!

Funfold Friday - Tent Fold Easel

My fun fold  VIP Video today is called a

Tent Fold Easel Card.

I made these for our kids for the New Year.

The shape is really fun and folds flat if posted.

I had seen loads of these designs on Pinterest etc

and decided to have a go.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it really

didn't hold together perfectly at the base.

So I came up with a matching corner that can be slid

off to fold flat and slipped on easily to hold together.

I actually like the added effect it gives.

I used papers from the in-colour selection called

Misty Moonlight with the matching ink.

I also used the circle layering dies, 2" circle punch

and the stamps were from Family Party,

Make a Difference and Itty Bitty Christmas.

Lockdown was lifted this morning so we dashed out

for some last minute items.

Thankfully the two shops we were in were

not too bad at all and people seemed quite happy.

I had such a bad sleep last night, ended up with about 4 hours,

that I feel I am in zombie land today!

It will be a long day!

Take care out there.
