Which is exactly the same as this one.

Sorry about the problems this may cause you.  I only hope that you forgive me and become my follower on my new site.

Baroque Motifs


Hello Stampers.

Sorry about the picture quality (will do better next time) but the card wouldn't stay flat!!!!!!

The only hard part about this card is that I had to cut out the flowers to stick onto dimensionals!(I don't like cutting out) :-(

And I am going to be doing a Christmas version of this card style so please keep watching :-)

Thank you for viewing my blog.

One Layer Wonder AGAIN


Hello Stampers.

Another one layer wonder, but I hope you like it.  Its easy to do its all a matter of masking.  The flower was stamped first, then masked off. For the Pretty in Pink squares I just inked the small square clear mount block and stamped it on the card.  Then masked them off and stamped the words from the French Foliage set.  I will do a version with En Francais over the weekend and see how that comes out.  So look out for that one over the next couple of weeks.

I have also been busy making Christmas cards!!!!! I know its early but its bettter to have them made than rush about making them at the last minute.

Thank you for viewing my blog.

Fast and Fabulous (Hostset Level 2), French Foliage amd Somcere Salutations Stamp Sets. Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Inks, and Whisper White A4 Card Stock.

Hearts to Hearts

Hello Stampers.

I made this card some time ago and thought I would let you have a look at it.  I stamped the checked heart and swirly heart first then masked them off before stamping the rest over the masks.  The "love" heart was then stamped and punched out then placed on dimensionals.  This idea was originally dones with circles at a class with Michelle Last and I thought i'd try it with heart (and only because I didn't have the circle set :-)).

I am going to try and put a new item on every week, this will normally be a Tuesday but next week it will be Thursday as I have an appointment on Tuesday (its my normal work getting the the way of my crafting!!!!).

Thank you for viewing my blog.

Motor Biking

I made this card for Rob, who, as you can see likes motorbikes (so do I :-)).  Again I masked off the areas that I did not want to stamp in and once finished, scored the lines to make the stamping stand out even more.
