May 2014 cards

Hi everyone hope you are all keeping well. This month I have tried to keep supplies to a minimum as my craft room looks like a bomb has gone off in it & I could not find too much to play with .

My cards all use 2 flower stamps sets & matching punches but if you would like to make them using something else i.e. hearts or footballs etc. please do feel free to bring your own along 

So here goes with the 3 cards I came up with

Card 1  -Flower Power take one

Card 2 – Flower Power Take 2

Card 3 – Flower Power Take 3

If we have time I have a 4th card in reserve using the same supplies you will just need extra white card, vellum & white embossing powder.

Cards for April 2014

Hi everyone as you can see normal service has resumed for this month & I apologise for last months technical difficulties & the fact I could not attend the Hethersett meeting due to ill health but you will be pleased to know I’m now fitting fit & looking forward to seeing you all again.
Before I show you the cards I just wanted to tell you a couple of things

• Firstly I will be bringing the RIBBON SHARE along to both meetings so if you want to take part don’t forgot to bring your pennies. All those who do take part will be put in a draw to have the chance to win a FREE PRIZE
• Secondly Hethersett’s meeting will be in the upstairs room so please use the side door this month

So on with this months cards:

Card 1 – Well met by Moonlight (Sylvia’s name for it –she’s learning at last Ha-ha!!!)



Card 2 – On the ball

Card 3 – Easter Blooms -You can change greeting to another one

February 2014 cards

 

Hi everyone here we are again. I hope you have all avoided the wind & rain we have been having recently but it is a good excuse to stay indoors & craft

This month we are going to concentrate on PUNCHES.

We all have punches in our kit & we love them to punch out our sentiments but they can do soooo much more & I hope by the end of this weekend you will be inspired to think differently about them.

So here goes with this month’s samples

Card 1 & 2 – Two for the price of one

Card 3 – One for the Boys

Card 4 – Roaring Birthday

Card 5 – Two Famous Mice

Card 6 – Simple Flower

I will try to dig out all my other Punch themed cards to show you so if you want to bring lots of spare card you can then create your own examples at home.

January 2014 Cards

Firstly a very Happy New Year to all my lovely ladies, I do hope this year will be a very good one for you all.

As you can see this year has not been such a great start for this blog. I spent the last few days trying to get this post to upload & if by magic this morning it finally decided to oblige me & hopefully now you can all see the cards we are planning to do.

So here goes with the first cards of 2014

Card 1 – A Bit of Stamping & Tearing

This card was inspired by one I saw at the recent Stampin Up convention but as I do not know the original creator of the card I cannot give them the credit they deserve, if I do find this out I will add their name here.
