Male birthday

It's my brother's birthday at the end of the week so I made this quick and easy card using Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams Cd. The image was mounted onto a paint sample from Crown paints in Boutique shade, a nice blue/green colour. The dark blue base card is A4 but has been folded twice to make a DL size. Instead of a greeting I added 3 small brads in a similar colour to those in the image.

Think Pink

The Think Pink sale will soon be here so i've made the last of my contributions. I sent a parcel off yesterday and have a few more things to pack up and send later in the week.

During the Cyber Crop over on Bubbly Funk we had various classes and I have managed to get things done from a couple of them to send.

The Dotee dolls were Suzie's class, I made 3 of these but Sallie pinched the spotty one I showed earlier so I have sent these 2.

Kaz's class was to alter a clipboard. This is the 2nd I did, the first I forgot to take a pic of before I sent it.

The ribbons are chipboard ones which have been decorated and had magnets put on the back. They were in the Think Pink kits from Bubbly Funk. they are now ready to be sent.

These pink organza bags were also in the kits and I have put rose scented tea lights in them.

A couple of the decorated ribbons have hanging chains on them while the other has a magnet on the back.

The small one is done in shrink plastic and has a few beads attached and a clasp to make a handbag charm.

The decorated notebooks were part of the weekly challenges. They have all been covered and various embellishments and ribbons attached to 'pretty' them up a bit.

The little bags contain matching gift tags threaded with organza ribbon and are from the Cute Companions Cd volume 1 from Crafters Companion.

Finally a few more cards which went in yesterday's parcel.

The flower card is made from freebies in Making Cards magazine.

The others are all from Cd's.

I used Oriental Dreams by Joanna Sheen, Golden years by Sharon Duncan and Cute Companions by Crafters Companion.

80th Birthday

Mick's Mum has asked me to make a card for her sister's 80th birthday next month which meant I also needed to make one from us as well.

This is the one I made for us to send, I used glitter board, brads, peel-offs and base card from my stash but the whole of the topper is made from freebies from Making Cards magazine with a little bit of glitter glue added.

I bought some Joanna Sheen stamps a couple of months ago when I was first asked about this card as I knew the look I wanted for it It is from the Happiness Oval set of Victorian Doylie range and has been stamped and embossed in pink on cream pearlescent paper.The 2 background papers are from Joanna's Oriental Dreams Cd. I found a bunch of fabric flowers in a local shop and used 3 from it to make a spray and added an organza ribbon bow which was all attached with silicone glue. The sentiment was printed on the computer. As the flowers stand out from the card so much I had to make a box on which I will stamp the name.

Doiley stamp card

Today i've been trying out my new stamps from Joanna Sheen.

I've done an A5 sized card and layered onto it a piece of blue background paper from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams Cd.

Onto this is layered an oval of white glitter card. The stamps are from Joanna's new Victorian Doiley range and I have used the oval and diamond shapes from the Happiness Oval set. I stamped them with versamark and embossed them in blue onto vellum. Both shapes were cut out and the diamond layered onto the oval. 3 fabric flowers with bead centres were attached with silicon glue.

A stamped sentiment from the same set was embossed in blue onto a piece of the backing paper and layered onto a mat of white glitter card.

New stamps

The postie has just delivered my new stamps from Joanna Sheen. After watching a crafting programme on Tv the other day I just knew I had to order a set of these stamps, they look so delicate on vellum. What are they? They are Joanna's new Victorian Doiley unmounted stamps, the set I have is the Happiness Oval.
Won't have chance to play with them today but hope to find some time tomorow after I have mounted them onto EZ mount and cut them out.
I can highly recommend Joanna's website, these were ordered on Saturday evening and there is no postage to pay! www.joannasheen.com
