New Home Card

My last card today, it's a new home card. I have used much the same idea as the shabby chic birthday card. Using a painted piece of cardboard as the backing layered on top of some jute ribbon.
The twine has been wrapped around the top layer of card. The mini envelope contains a stamped house which was die cut using papertrey ink stamps and dies. The gorgeous little heart tag is also from Papertrey ink. I love their stamps and dies ( trouble is quite expensive to have shipped over here!! )
Again the little tag behind the cardboard is cut  using a punch using Pink Petticoat french script paper.

I love pale turquoise and cream together. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and thanks for stopping by.

Shabby Chic Pink

Hello again,

Another card which has proved very popular with the family to send to friends etc. It has a shabby chic effect to it. I have now made several in different colours to keep in stock for friends and family to send.

The backing is jute ribbon bought from a local sewing shop in town. The card has been painted with white dabber paint from Tim holts and pink paper ribbon has been wrapped around the cardboard. The mini envelope has been cut from a punch in Maja design spring basics paper. The little tag has been punched from Pink petticoat french script paper. Again the little daisy has been cut from a poppy stamp Daisy bubble border.

This card seems to look good in any colour. Particularly with Maja design papers, so pretty.

Thanks for looking.

Have a great day.

A Birthday Card for My Daughter.

Hello,
It's been so long since I posted a card but I spend a while this morning doing the LOTV blog hop and it  made me realise I need to get back into it. Such lovely inspiration on their blogs.

Anyway I have several cards to post so here's the first. It's my daughters birthday on the 8th August and this is the card I have made for her. She is going to be on holiday for her birthday so thought this Saturated Canary image was just perfect. It's called pack light,  something my Daughter is not so good at!!!

The image has been coloured with Prisma coloured pencils. The Happy birthday tag is a magnolia one which has been embossed using a cuttlebug folder. The tiny envelope is a punch and the little daisy on the envelope has been cut out from a poppy stamp border die called daisy bubbles. The heart banner is a LA LA Land die and the papers are gorgeous Maja design.

I hope you are all having a good day and if you have a chance pop over to Lili of the Valley and get a sneek peek of their gorgeous new Christmas stamps due out on Thursday.   

Hugs
