A gift not a card

Well I thought that I would have a change from making cards and wanted to make something abit different butr also useful as a gift for someone. I decided to make this calender. The background paper was from Crafters Companion everyday CD and I cut on the tags for the months and days using my cricut. To hang them onto the calender I just used ear wires held on with brads. The stamps are again from Crafters Companion and are the Cute Companions range.

Crystal Dreams

I made this card using the free CD that I got with my Debbi Moore magazine. I think that this is my favourite CD of all the ones that she does, the images could really be used for anytime of year. I printed everything out on Crafters Companion Pearlesant paper and sprayed the topper on the front with their spray and sparkle, it makes such a difference. Anyway enough of my wafferling here is the card, going to also enter it into sosme blog challenges and a competition, so wish me luck.

Just to say Thank You

Well the weather here is truly awful and I think it has snowed everyday for a week, so what better excuse to craft !!!!! I went on an amazing craft weekend with Crafters Companion and as a way of a thank you I have made this card. The backing paper if from the Crafters Companion Lavender flower fairies and has been printed on their fantastic pearlesant paper. I have used some mulberry flowers dipped into some glitter and a couple of beads with a small bow, made with my ultimate pro as embellishments. The topper has been made from the Cute Companions Adorables stamp and I have used glossy accents on her wings. The pop up card inside has been made using oddments from my craft box and a X Cut butter punch.
