Happy Birthday, Justin


Hi Everyone,

It's safe to share this now that I know my friend Justin - JK Cards received this card, just in time for his birthday.  The Happy mail arrived on his day September 12th.  Let's not say how old he is this week.  I won't spill the beans.

This is the card that I made him.  It winged it's way across to the US.  One of the best things about cardmaking is that you can personalise your card to suit the recipients taste and the things you know they like.  I think it makes it special, when you know a bit about the person you are making a card for and can add those extra touches.


The feature of this card is Coffee.  We both love it, so thought it was fitting.  The greeting is from the stamp set Chalk Talk and the splatter is from the set Gorgeous Grunge.  This is a Joyfold style card made from Island Indigo cardstock.  Come and have a look at the inside.



On the inside and front I've added Designer Series paper from the pack Soho Subway and I've added some images from some Vintage (retired) sets as well, the To Do list from Eat Chocolate and Wings from Affection Collection. 
Chocolate is another of our shared vices.

Justin tells me, he loved the card and he actually added it along with others he received to his blogpost yesterday which you can see here.

To my followers, hope you all liked having a look at this one.

Have a great day.

    Well I can see why he loves it - it's fantabulous Carolyn! I know had a few special coffees in his honour :-) My husband believes it's unsafe to talk to me in the morning til I've had some coffee lol! Oh no - you're not addicted to chocolate too are you?! I'm in the same boat :-/

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
