Dinoroar

It was my upliner Angela's son birthday last week so i made a card, matching gift bag and tag.

Phillip is adorable and did'nt seem to impressed with my card but did like the cars i had brought him.
I love the dinoroar set and will definately be using it for quite a few of my cards.
Take care of each other and keep crafting jx

Spiced Paisely Buttons

Recently i had my gorgeous grandaughter Maisey to look after. Maisey is very old for her years considering she is only 2 she wants to try and do everything and is so independent.
I had a few craft projects to complete using the gorgeous spiced paisley fabrics.

The spiced paisley buttons are gorgeous and so big maisey took a real shine to them and wouldnt give them up.
Thankfully when she went home i could claim my buttons back although i only had 15 im sure they come in packs of 16 ha ha ..........Bye for now take care of each other and keep crafting.

Christmas Cards, Pines and Poinsettias

I needed to keep my cards simple as i had quite few to make. I chose pines and poinsettias and polar

party, i love these two sets. Although you can't see it very well on the picture but i have embossed the white panel with the polka dot embossing folder and used a cardboard template to leave an area free for stamping.

Dazzling diamonds just added that finishing touch. Take care keep crafting x

Present for my stampin up mum

As part of a stampin up team we all agreed to make each other a small token gift and also to make our stampin up mum (upliner) an extra special present.

I decided i would make something for her home. I purchased some felt close to the stampin up colours melon mambo and old olive, and made a cushion. I then used the large flower die and stitched these onto the cushion also adding the brights buttons. the photograph doesnt really do it justice. Hope you like it. Take care keep crafting jx
