Happy Mothers Day

I really liked using the green and white Bazzill Bling on the bunny basket and this inspired me to make a Mothers Day card.

This is really quick and simple and I just love the bold colours.



- Firstly cover your base card in yellow Bazzill Bling
- Take a piece of green Bazzill Bling the size of your card and cut the pop up flowers into the card. Stick to base card.
- Cut out 5 white pop up flowers. You will need your trusty craft knife to remove them as they are cut into the card, rather than cut out.
- Stick flowers to green flowers on base card.
- I had a small circle die to make the centre of the flowers. I layered it 3 times on each flower.
- Add some stems and leaves ro the flowers
- To finish add a pink border with desired greeting.

Lifestyle Crafts Dies used:
- Pop up Flowers (055-5)
- Scalloped cupcake liner (L-CC-009) for the leaves
- Billboard set (077-9 ) for the stems
- Banana Split 4 X 8 font

It's Twins!!!

A friend of the family has just become a grand mum to twin boys, so I thought this was a very apt card for her.

The two little boys are sleeping ans have had made little name badges on their quilts so people know which one is which.

I just love this alpha too. It's called Banana Split and it's such an easy font to work with. A must have!!!

Enjoy!

A few simple Letterpress Cards

Well, I got my new toy out of the box. I couldn't wait to play with it.

I was really surprised how easy it was to use. The ink is amazing. It is very sticky and you need very little of it. I don't think any other ink on the market could give you a great effect.

I have put together a few quick projects using my new tool. I am dying to get some more colours to really experiment!!

Enjoy!







Plates Used:
Letterpress Starter Kit Plate

Wedding Card / Invitation

I think I'm going wedding mad this week. Also, this is the 3rd time I've used this fantastic card shape from the Lifestyle Crafts Spring Gift Set.

I'm putting it down to the fact that I am in agony and not thinking straight due to my first Body Balance class last night. It's kind of like yoga but more intense.

Anyhow, I made this card using the abovementioned card shape and also the Lifestyle Crafts A2 Collection from the Essentials Range.

Firstly I cut out the card and then used the A2 collection to create the gate fold in the centre of the card. As always, alittle embossing never goes a miss.

Just to......

You know when things just come together and you feel you have a purpose. I put together this card just to say that. I wanted fresh springy colours as that's just how I'm feeling today.

Handy Little Bag

I love any shape that's got a scalloped edge, so it's no wonder I used the Lifestyle Scalloped Squares to make this handy little bag.




Instructions

- Take the largest die in the set of 4 and cut it out twice
- Emboss these two squares
- Trim a piece of card 22.5cm long by 6 cm's wide.
- Score the strip of card at 7.5cm intervals so you effectively have scored the card into 3
- Score down both sides of the strip of card 1cm in from each side.
- You now have formed the inside of the bag and you just need to stick the 2 scalloped squares to each side of the inner bag
- Decorate to finish

Dies Used (All Lifestyle Crafts)
- Scalloped Squares (4-037)
- Special Delivery Spring Gift Set (SGS-10) for the flowers and 'love' letters
- Santa's Workshop Gift Set (HGS-09-IND) for the label

More Cupcake fun

Again, I am just loving the scalloped cupcake liner from Lifestyle Crafts. I thought a Valentine's Day theme would be ideal. All it needs now is a big, fat juicy chocolate muffin to finish it off!!




The liner is made in the same way as my post from Sunday. This time though, i used hearts to decorate the outside f the cake. I also used an alphabet to punch out the word 'LOVE' to put on the hearts.


Dies Used (All Lifestyle Crafts):
- Scalloped Cupcake Liner (L-CC-009)
- Flirt Die Gift Set (for the hearts)
- Banana Split 4 x 8 Alphabet

Born to Shop

Every girl loves shopping and I thought this would make a great card to send any one of my girl friends.



I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background as I thought a patterned paper would make this simple design over complicated.
