Die cut an oval aperture at the front of your card 10.5cm x 6cm and approx. 3cm from the top of the card. Stamp the top half of the card with a background stamp with Versamark ink pad and white embossing powder. Attach a small piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the card. Edge the top of the paper with a border Christmas die, which I have embossed with silver embossing powder. The oval shape that came out of the aperture, stamp with the background stamp and emboss with silver embossing powder and then attach to the inside of the card as in the picture. Stamp he Bauble shape onto the patterned paper and emboss with white embossing powder. Cut the Bauble out and leave a little bit extra at the top of the Bauble to attach to the top of the aperture. Add a silver ribbon bow at the top of the Bauble. Stamp out the greeting and emboss with the sliver embossing powder. Cut out and add to the card. Finish off with the silver Stickles on the Bauble.

Good Afternoon
A Christmas card in November only just made it.
Close up..Good Evening Everybody,
Just posting a birthday card, which depending on which colour of inks you use, could be for female or male card.
Close up...
I have used a 6"x6" White base card.
I stamped three images of the birthday stamp in three different colours, embossed them with clear embossing powder, then cut each of them out. Die cut a large scalloped edge square twice, using 14cm and a 13cm die, in order to make a frame. I embossed the frame with a check embossing folder. I attached the frame to the main card just putting the stamped images (2 of them) under the frame at the corners before I stuck the frame down. Add the third stamped image to the centre of the card. Die cut another frame using the scalloped edge die this time 8cm and 6cm. Attach the smaller frame with foam pads. I used one of the inks to cover a piece of card 15cm x 2cm and then embossed with the clear embossing powder and embossed with a Happy Birthday embossing folder. Add across the centre of the card sticky tape at each end and foam in the centre. Colour another small piece of card using a different coloured ink, clear emboss then die cut the photo corners. Add to the card as in the diagram.
Craft items I have used:-
White card for the frames.

Good afternoon,
Back with a 'thank you' card. We need one of these every now and again. I have used an A5 Kraft card, landscape, that I have embossed along the front section.
Close up....Hi there everybody,
I have designed an anniversary card this afternoon as I have a few anniversaries coming up next month so I am well prepared. I didn't use a stamp for the main feature this time, but a wreath I made from strong craft wire.
Close up...Good Afternoon,
It is a while since I have posted any new card makings but today I have updated an Autumn design.
Using an A6 White card.
Close up:-Hello there
A birthday card for the men. I made this card for a relation of mine whose birthday is in June, so I am ahead of myself for a change. The Clock stamp is ideal for a retirement card too.
Close up....
I used a cream card 6"x6" and matted with a brown, slightly patterned paper from Lili of the Valley paper pad, leaving a small cream border around the edge. Die cut four tags from different patterned papers and added them to the card as in the picture. Stamp out the clock stamp with Versamark and gold embossing powder onto a light patterned paper. Cut out and matte onto brown paper and then cream card. Wrap co ordinating coloured string around the stamped image and tie, adding a small embellishment. Attach to the card and add a greeting.

Afternoon everyone
We seem to have been blessed with this nice weather which means I have been more outside than inside making cards, but this morning I decided to make a card for a birthday girl or even a card for a baby. I used the papers from Echo Park 'Life is Beautiful'. The stamped buttons are from the Woodware stamp collection 'Buttons' which you can purchase from my Ebay shop here.
Close up....
Morning all
I have designed a Birthday Tag card, for a birthday in May, using a collection of month stamps from Studio G. I chose a Tag die set from Little B to make the card, as they have different sizes and shapes of tags, ideal to make a main card. This one being 12.5cm x 8.5cm.
Close up...Good morning
I thought I would post this card I have made, just before April ends. I love to use up older papers and stamps that I have in my stash and that I would never get rid of. The stamp is from Woodware and the papers from My Mind's Eye, Quite Contrary collection.

Hi there just posting a quick post, showing an Easter card I have made for a friend, using the L.O.T.V. Bunny stamp set.
Hello there
The theme this time is the common Daisy which at the moment are all around now Spring has arrived. Daisy is the flower for April.
I have used the Cardio Majestix 'Dainty Daisy' which you can find here on my Ebay shop.

Morning everyone
Been busy making a Mother's Day card this week, amongst other things. I love the Sunflower stamp from Creative Expressions and designed by Sam Poole. I have quite a few stamps from this talented lady. There is also a small stamp in the set, that I have used as a background on the front of the card and inside.
Good morning
Good afternoon
A birthday card for a friend who likes shades of Lavender etc. So the papers from Anna Marie where very apt. I also used some papers I had from Maja Designs which I have kept hold of thinking I might not cut into these. I think we may all have papers that are not for crafting with, but just for bringing out and just looking at. Notice I only used a small piece for the top of the card.
I have used a 7"x 5" Scallop White card.
Papers from Anna Marie Wood Collection.

Good afternoon
I have designed this card using a scalloped shaped octagon die-set. Using a folded card and putting the die just above the fold (so it doesn't cut at the top), creates the shaped card. Cut two.

Side view....
Attach the backs together following the picture above. I die-cut another scallop shape with which I stamped the image using black VersaFine ink pad and clear embossing powder. Coloured the images with Promarkers. Added the greeting and the bees. Attached the yellow satin ribbon to the front of the card, then attached to the front of the folded card. Stamp the image to the bottom front and coloured that too.
I used a white card.

Good morning
I designed this card with Violets in mind as February is the flower for this month. As I couldn't find the appropriate flower for the job I thought I would used the colour Violet instead. I have used Wilted Violet which is the Ranger Distress Oxide Ink Pad from the Tim Holtz collection. A lovely colour it is too.
I inked around the cut out large stamped image. Cut out the stamped butterfly to give it a lift. Wrapped the ribbon around before attaching to the main card, leaving enough room to stamp the words. Finished off with the Stickles and the gems.

Good afternoon,
I am back with a Spring-like card using the Cardio Majestix stamp set, 'Crocus Garden'. These little stamps are great for small cards and larger ones as they are also great for using as backgrounds. In this card I have used for both.
I have continued the stamping across the back of the card . Once you start stamping with these tiny stamps, you are not sure when to stop. Can become quite therapeutic, with great results.
Good afternoon
I have designed a birthday card using the scraps from the lovely papers from the Stamperia pad, Rose Parfum.
The pale pink papers remind me of vintage material.
I have used a 6x6" white base card.

Good afternoon,
I have created another Valentine's card, a small one using the Flower Bear stamp, from Woodware.
I have decoupaged the flowers he is holding and wrapped some coloured twine around the flower stems.
You can use different coloured card depending on what colour of bear you would prefer. I have used a pale grey to match the colour of ink on the letters.
I have used a small 5"x5" white base card and scored lines at one edge
