Happy Mothers Day !

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mum's :)

I hope you'll all have a lovely day and be thoroughly spolit !

You may remember the card I made for my colleagues wife's 50th ? Well this is a version made specially for my my Mummy ...I've gone for a classic colour palette of Ivory, Black and Champagne Glimmer Paper.

The gorgeous papers are Modern Medley , yes , the same as I used on Justin's card see how versatile this selection is ! 

I made a simple concertina and added punched the ends with my Scallop Tag Topper Punch, the individual panels are die cut with the Label Framelits layered in Black, Ivory and the yummy Champagne Glimmer Paper (second favourite to Silver !)

I used the Memorable Moments stamp set to stamp the top layer of the panels and the letters were cut on my Silhouette machine.

I made a bespoke envelope with my Envelope Punch Board to store this little keepsake in and finished with some pearls, tiny punched butterflies and Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon.

Happy Mothers Day Mummy , I love you x

Happy Birthday Justin !

Today is Justin's Birthday and I wanted to make him a card as special and unique as he is !

One of his great passions is gaming, XBox, PS4, PS3 you name it he does it but it gives a girl lots of crafting time ;)

I found a really cool cut file for my Silhouette cutting machine of a game controller and knew it would be just perfect for big boys and little boys that love to game.

Teamed with my Stampin' Up! supplies it turned out really cool and he was thrilled with it ...

I've used my new 'go to' set of Starburst Sayings stamps and the matching Starburst Framelits, don't they look fab layered up here and the largest one has been embossed with the Chevron Embossing Folder. The patterned papers are from the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper pack and they are so versatile!

My colour palette for this card is Raspberry Ripple, Black and Sahara Sand and I couldn't resist a little Silver Glimmer Paper , I don't know what I would do if that paper is ever retired maybe I ought to start stockpiling ! Once again I made a matching envelope with my Envelope Punch Board again what would I do without it ????

A little decoration on the inside as a finishing touch and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I made a little 'coupon' book for him too which I'll share tomorrow.

PS - Don't forget last day for Sale A Bration orders to qualify for a freebie is Monday 31st March so let me know as I'll be placing a final order in the next couple of days :)
