Iv'e got that Friday feeling xx

Well here is another Friday and another morning with my Painswick ladies.

They love the Zoo babies stamp set and with so many grandchildren and new arrivals between them it's always good to have a stock of children's cards.

 

Here is the card we created, the Harwood stamp and Stars remind me of the circus and this works really well with the little lion stamp.

 

 

It's Easter cards next week so I will be back with gorgeous bunnies, chicks and flowers.

Stamps:  Hardwood, Simple Stars, Zoo Babies

Inks:  Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar

Paper:  Natural White, So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Whisper White

Mothers Day

I celebrated a lovely Mothers Day with all of my family.  Me, my husband and two girls enjoyed a delicious bagel and  cappuccino breakfast then we headed to lunch with my Mum, Dad and Sisters.  The fun didn't stop there, our next stop was my sister in laws to see Tim's mum and enjoy some chocolate dipped viennese  whirls, they are sooo nice if you haven't had one you must try it.

So on to what crafty adventures I've been up to.  I ran a special Mother's Day class on Thursday with 11 ladies. Here are the two cards which we created, I gave my mum the "1 in a million card" she loved it.

 

I created her a special gift using a  white wicker heart, which I then decorated with flowers created from the spiral flower die.  The larger flowers were created using two die cuts wound together.   I like to spritz them with water first as it helps when winding them up and manipulating the petals.

 

Did you create something special for your mum?

Party Cards

I had a great party on Monday evening with 12 lovely ladies and we created a card using the new hardwood background and flower shop stamp set.

 

This stamp is becoming a new favourite of mine and I've been using it on a number of projects, it also became a favourite for some of the ladies and they too have added it to their craft stash.

 

I always like to add a blinged up version of the card to show how a few more products can change the look.
