assorted cards

Good morning, thanks for stopping by.  I hope everyone has had a wonderful break and for us here in Australia, the kids are back at school today YAY!!!! Hence why I have the time to show yo what I have been up to.  Well last year was HUGE for myself and my family.  I slowly started to get back into work after massive abdomen surgery, my husband started at uni for the beginning of his new career choice, and my kids settled into their new school.  On top of that I had my new little business which is growing every day and thanks to my wonderful loyal customers is becoming quiet the success :-) 

so enough about the boring... I wanted to share with you a couple of my recent cards.  I know I don't get on here all the time, but as with everyone, time just goes by so fast.

these first couple of cards are new baby cards using DP from Maja Designs.  these ones in particular are vintage baby ephemera cards available in store here. flowers are of course Wild orchid crafts and I have also used some fabric daisies which I am hoping to add to the shop today :-)  the little pram die is a memory box die.  Acetate butterfly is one of my own makes and the die cut flying butterfly on the third card is from a Tattered lace die set also available here 

The next card is made using a card topper in the image from Mo Manning.

The next bunch of cards are simple cards with verses on the front.  I tend to mask verses and add others to them so they say what I want (e.g. the last card was a christmas stamp which I masked out the christmas words and then stamp a birthday verse :-)  thanks for stopping by XO

please drop by my online shop I try and stock a good variety of items that you can't get in an everyday craft store XO Tania

sylvia zet wee stamp digi print card...silver fairy

Good evening, tonight I have a card with a beautiful digi stamp by Sylvia Zet from wee stamps called Silver Fairy. You can get the image here ...you will be seeing more of her images as I couldn't resist or stop at one!!! I coloured her up with prismas (of course) and plenty of stickles. The card is cut using my grand spellbinders scallop circle and the nesting circles, I have hand cut using an assortment of cups and plates. The doily is cut from a Cheery Lynn die called "english tea party". the flowers are wild orchid crafts the sentiment stamp is from a clear Kaisercraft set called "friendship sentiments". thanks for stopping by.......

PS DONT FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT FOR MY BLOG CANDY YOU DONT NEED TO BE A FOLLOWER

TOP TIP....I STRUGGLED TO GET THE INTRICATE DETAIL CUT OUT FROM THE CHEERY LYNN AND MARIANNE DIES.....I TRIED WAX PAPER, AND AN ASSORTMENT OF OTHER THINGS...THE BEST WAY GET THE CUT OUT OFF THE DIE IN ONE PIECE IS TO USE BLUE TACK...I ROLL THE BLUE TACK IN MY HANDS TO REDUCE SOME OF THE TACKINESS STARTING FROM THE EDGE- JUST PRESS ONTO THE PAPER AND CAREFULLY PULL AWAY.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

friendship card

Another card from my stampology "Silhoutte Blossoms" set. This time pink liquid pearls were used. I love this sentiment which is a Verses stamp aptly named "breath of kindness". A nice quickie- simple and cost effective :0) XOX Tania
