Cricut Sweet treats cupcake birthday card

Hello and welcome to my blog on this lovely Bank Hoilday Sunday afternoon. As we stayed home this Bank Holiday, I have had more time to play and decided to make another card for the Passion for Papertrey challenge. As the theme is colour, I tried a very bright, multicoloured card suitable for a child, or child at heart lover of cupcakes. Oops I'm describing myself!



I used the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge for the large cupcake and used glossy accents to make the cherry on top look even more scrumptious. For the small cupcakes I used the Stampin Up round tab punch and cut the tab in half to make two little cakes.


I had a practice cupcake leftover so I made a matching tag.


I hope you enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend.

Recipe

Paper - Making Memories Kids Collection Max plus plain white card stock.

Cricut/PTI miss you card

Hello there,

Aren't we the lucky ones to have had several days of continuous sunshine. The sun definitely cheers me up but for some reason I've had the song "Aint no sunshine when you're gone" running through my head for days. It occurred to me that it would be a good addition to a "Miss You" card so I made the card below for the Passion for Papertrey challenge. The theme this time was colour so I used the theme of blue sky and sunshine which is always a favourite with me. I cut the sun shape from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge and coloured white ribbon with a Copic marker.


Materials
Papertrey spring rain and orange card, polka dot basics and vintage picnic sentiments stamps.Making Memories baby blue yarn. Versamark ink and Color Box tangerine chalk ink.

Cricut Sweet Treats gift basket



Hello again,

Summer seems to be here at last (or for the weekend anyway) and I have just been looking around the garden at some of the flowers that are currently blooming. It is such a wonderful time of year and I spent half an hour sitting with a cup of tea listening to the birdsong.













I haven't had much time for crafting this week but I made a little gift box on my cricut with the Sweet Treats cartridge. This is to go with a card for the shop assistant at my favourite craft store who is leaving to take another job.

I think I am going to really enjoy using this cartridge. It has so many yummy cupcakes and ice creams on it but there are also tons of tags and cupcake holders and gift boxes that will make it very versatile.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend in the sunshine.

Forever Friends engagement card and friends for life card



Hello again,

I hope you are having an excellent weekend. We have been looking around the garden in amazement at all the plants that seem to have shot up overnight. Everything looked bare for so long this spring but nature has has fought back and the garden is looking great thanks to my husband's tender care.

I have spent some time crafting and have made this engagement card for the daughter of some good friends of ours.



I really enjoyed doing some stitching on the card and am making a mental note to get the sewing machine out and try experimenting with some machine sewing. Crikey, that will take me out of my comfort zone!

I also decided to make another card for the Passion for Papertrey challenge. The theme this time was friendship so I got out the Piece of Cake stamps because there is nothing better than sharing a chat and some cake with a good friend.


I used:- Versacraft Chocolate Ink and ColorBox Orchid Pigment Ink.
- PTI stamps from the Piece of Cake and Life stamp sets.
Gems coloured with Promarker and brads from my stash.

Thats all for now. Please feel free to leave a comment.

Flower birthday card



Hello again,

We have just returned from a few days in the beautiful Malvern area and whilst we went to see the Malvern Spring Flower Show, we also stopped off to see the gorgeous Coughton Hall. Coughton ( pronounced coat-un) Hall was involved in the Gunpowder Plot and was full of secret panels, priest holes and a tower top that gave marvellous views of the surrounding countryside. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

When we returned home, my new computer had arrived so I have been busy getting it up and running and haven't had time to make any cards for a while. I thought I would share a monochrome card  I made a while ago. I love the simple elegance of this flower stamp and it is simply stamped and embossed in black ink on white cardstock with a Papertrey Ink greeting.

I hope to have a new card soon but thank you for looking and any comments would be gratefully received.
