Bunny date

Posted on by Liz

Oh holiday, how I needed thee. It’s already a couple of days into the holiday and I am very much enjoying not having a long list of “need-to-dos”. I am however considering purchasing a cutter and some paper and make some cards while on holiday though, heh..

The stamped sentiment caught the flash a bit, but it says “have yourself a very happy birthday” and is from Lili of the Valley. Its ink really isn’t quite as pale as it looks in the photo, heh. As is the pre-coloured image I have used. The colourful buttons are from Craftwork Cards and are called card candy. All the flowers are (as always) from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branches are made with a Martha Stewart puncher.

My easter buddy

Posted on by Liz

Easter is around the corner. I only just realised this when I opened the fridge yesterday and saw the “easter mystery” cartoon on the milk carton. Don’t ask, lol. Anyway, as I have next to no time before I go away for two weeks tomorrow, I had a spur of inspiration and made a card this morning. Why do I always feel most inspired when I have the least time to craft? Maybe it’s because it looks like I won’t get much else done today as I’m feeling rather unwell. Oh well, the card did get done!

I have used a giant scalopped circle to make the base of the card. I’ve used some plain green card stock and some patterned paper from First Edition paper to go with. I have used a pre coloured Sylvia Zet image from The Hobby House. Isn’t it adorable? The stamped sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, the flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, the ribbon is from a local shop and I have used a fair bit of distress ink.

Happy Easter everybody!

Golden Art Deco

Posted on by Liz

A while ago I went to a Range store in Essex, England. I found some gorgeous art deco images with matching accessories: papers, feathers, flowers, greetings and so on. Here is the first card I made using some of the bits I purchased. I used the newly acquired image, greeting and black feather, some old black lace I had laying about and some papers. I distressed around the edge of the white card blank and folded a corner down on the background paper. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The photo has a yellow tint to it, so it’s not quite as yellow as this looks.

Lingering thoughts of summer

Posted on by Liz

It has been too long! I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I posted a card here. As I went through my picture files today I came across this. I made it this summer, but it looks like I forgot to post it up, so here it is! I will post several more the next few weeks, I promise!
