Sweet Treats
Today's project is a little thank you card made for a very sweet someone.
Sometimes I forget that I have dies and I just love this little cupcake from the Lifestyle Crafts Sweetheart Release.
Firstly I cut my card black (9cm by 11cm when folded). I then cut another piece of card the same size as the front of the card and covered it with lovely paper. I then punched one of the frame dies in the paper covered card and mounted this on my base card with foam pads to raise slightly.
I cut out the same frame in a larger size and the the smaller frame inside it so that I had a pink border around the design.
Lastly, I punched out flowers and the cupcake and finished the card with a rub on.

Flowery T-Shirt
Today's project is something I made for my little niece Chloe. She is such a cutie pie and this t-shirt says it all. I brought the plain T-Shirt from a well known store and decided to spruce it up a little.
I used my Quickutz Revolution Flowers die to cut out the felt flowers and sewed the bottom flowers to the T-Shirt. I then used a slightly smaller flower from the same die and this was sewn onto the T-shirt with a button.
I made a matching hair-clip using just a plain hair clip from a local store.

Personalised Bunting
OMG, I am loving a bit of sewing, so much so that I made some more bunting. This time for my niece Hannah. I used similar dies to those used on the other bunting. However, this time I used my Quickutz 'Blue Sky' alphabet for the letters. The hearts are approx 5.5", so a very nice size. I can't wait to sew some more projects.

Beautiful Bunting!
I was inspired by my last card to make some pretty bunting for my Niece Natasha's bedroom. This is just a taster but I'm hoping to finish it this week.
The bunting will last and last as it's made from felt. I used my Quickutz dies to cut out the shapes and I was really pleased with the way they cut. It was like a knife through butter. The hearts are approx 4.5", and they are bigger than they look in the picture.

Up-coming birthdays
I have my 3 adorable nieces birthdays coming up in the next month or so. Here is card number one and it is for my ballet fanatical niece Hannah.

Hi, my project to today is a card for a special 50th birthday. The design was very much inspired by a fellow crafter Emma Lai.

Celebrate!
Todays project is a quick and easy to make birthday card. I brought this lovely jade coloured card a while ago and I just love using it with white card to make it stand out.
I used the 'Spring Flowers' die from tthe Lifestyle Crafts latest release to make the centre piece on the card. I used one of the lovely nesting frame dies to layer the card up.
You may notice the little tag in the corner. It was a die that came with the 'Icing rub ons' starter set, quite some time ago. I think they are still available directly from Quickutz. I did my usual and brought many of the rub ons so I still have quite a stash!!

Simple Wedding Card
Today's project has been made using the new Lifestyle Crafts Release. I picked the butterfly as it is so beautiful and thought it would make a lovely wedding card. It could be an invitation, a congratulations or a special birthday card.
I cut out the butterfly twice, one in cream and once in silver mirri card. I then offset the wings so they effectively have a shadow.

Baby Boy Card
Oops, sorry, long time no post. I have been busy at work so I'm shattered by the time I come home.
Anyway, enough of that. Today I have a baby boy card for a friend. As you can see by the weight, he was very small, but I'm informed he was adorable.
I used the Lifestyle crafts Nesting Inverted Squares for the background and the Nesting Inverted Circles for the date and weight. I also dug out one of my very first dies I purchased (Teddy bear). He is adorable and perfect for baby cards.

Birthday card - New Lifestyle Carfts CHA Releases
Today I have made a simple birthday card using some of the new dies for the Lifestyle Crafts CHA Release.
All of the new border dies in the release are absolutely stunning and today I am using one of the borders from the Brocade set.It is so elegant and chic. I also used the flower (again!) from the Treat Box Die :-). The white base of the card was pearlised white card that I put through a crimper.
I don't know if you can remember back far enough to the Quickutz Icing Rub ons. Well I brought a ton of those things when they were first released and I still have loads leftover. Anyway, I used the 'Happy Birthday' rub on from the starter set. I really wish that they would bring these icing rub ons back.

More from CHA - Butterfly Card
Today I have been using the Lifestyle Crafts square punchies die from the new CHA release.
I have to say I was a little naughty as I cut the die in half. However, I got a brilliant effect as when cut in half, the die was the right size for my card. Having used the square punchies, I put a sheet of acetate on the back of the card so that my butterflies could rest on it.
I also used the Whimsy Border die to outline the design.

More from CHA
I have another batch of projects using some of the new Lifestyle Crafts CHA Release. I just love all the dies and in this post I have used some of the beautiful border dies available.
The dies will be available over the next few months at Creating Everlasting Memories and Creating Memories in Time. Links to the right of my blog!
St Patricks Day is not far away and it is also this months Challenge over at the CMIT blog. I made this card using the new Nesting Clover die.

- Nesting Inverted Ovals (DC0277)
- Nesting Eyelet Hearts (DC0259)
- Nesting Hearts (DC0257)
- Nesting Circles (L-CC-001)
I love the Milk Carton Die. It is so easy to assemble and this would make a great 'favour' at a Birthday, Wedding or Christening. The Circles Border dies are so chic and really spice up any project.

- Nesting Inverted Ovals (DC0277)

I had such fun making these napkin rings. I used the Whimsy Border die as the main feature on the rings which were made using acetate. The butterfly antenna was made using the Brocade Border Die.

Love is still in the air at the moment so I can't help but make a card for this romantic time of year. I used the Dainty Doily Die to make the detail in the centre of the heart.

Handmade with love....cookies
As you can probably guess my Valentines theme this year is pink and brown. :-)
I made this card using the Sweeheart Release from Lifestyle Crafts. I just love the pretty little apron! I made a tray of iced cookies as well by using the same hearts that were used on the apron. I layered brown card three times and then a smaller heart was used for the pink icing. I finished them off with a little glitter glue.
Enjoy,

I've put a little card together using the new 'Baked Goods' die and some of my favourite other dies.
