Birthday card with Lili of the Valley images

What makes you think that my favourite cards to make are easel cards at the moment? Just see the cards I am posting!
Here is another birthday card made for a special friend on the RSA Group.The stamped image is a Lili of the Valley stamp and the wording is a digital stamp. 

Above is the full card. I have used the Cheery Lynn DL101 doilie cut in cream cardstock and added pale pink pearls. The image has been shaded with promarkers.

Birthday card

Well, once again I have had a long absence from blogging. I wish knew where the days went. It's hard to believe we are already in October. September seemed to fly by so fast - quite frightening! It was a very busy month, workwise, my mother's 90th birthday and preparation for World Card Making day on 1st October.
After my last post I made several different cards with a similar design. Here is another one which I made for a male.

I just love the image.

Wee Stamps

It is a stunning winters day in Cape Town today and I could think of so many nice things to be doing rather than working.

The Wee stamps are just sooooooo gorgeous. I could sit and shade images with my ProMarkers, which give such a smoothe finnish, all day long! If only I had the time.

I have been making several cards similar to this one so will post some more soon. Watch this space and enjoy your day.

Twisted Easel Birthday card

Below is a card I made for Lauren Moser for believe it or not, yes, her 50th birthday! I have used my favourite colours and a gorgeous WEE DIGI STAMP. Lots of embelishments and die cuts to complete my card.

Hope you are enjoying a lazy Sunday. Thanks for visiting.

Easel Birthday card

I just adore the Lili of the Valley stamps. I stamped the image at a stamping friend and am just loving shading with my ProMarkers as they give such a lovely smooth finnish. The senitment is also from Lili of the Valley which I was very fortunate to buy when they had them as digi stamps. The punch used is from Martha Stuart - one of the  punch around the page.

This card was given by my daughter to her boyfriends mother and I believe that she was absolutely thrilled with it.

Circular card - Digi stamps

Goodness, I just cannot believe it as been such a long time since I last posted on my blog. Life just seems to be constantly busy and not so much time is allocated to my wonderful hobby.

The card below is one I made for my Aunt who, as you can see, celebrated her 90th birthday. Elaine looks so good for her age and we were invited to Kelvin Grove for a delicious meal to celebrate her special day.

The watering can and 90th sentiment are both free digi stamps and I have used this beautiful circular die from Marianne Designs (LR0112) which I received as a gift from one of my good stamping friends - what a gift!!
I hope to be back again, soon.

Rubber Stamped Easel card

This card was one of the first easel cards I made using my favourite colours. The cute litte girl image was given to me my a frienand the sentiment is a Just Rite stamp. The background papers are from Wilson & Maclagan. Flowers and pearls are my favourite embelishments.

Chinese doll digi

This gorgeous Chinese doll has also brought me so much pleasure. I have shaded her with ProMarker, added gorgeous back ground paper, added pearls, rickrack and flowers. A Martha Stewart border punch had been used at the bottom. 

Digi birthday card

I seem to make loads of birthday cards. Here is a card made for one of my great stamping friends, Lee-Ann Teale, whose birthday it is on 31 October. I have used a digi stamp from digistamps4joy, a Martha Stewart  Border Punch,  a labels Spellbinder for the Penny Black 'Have a great day' greeting purchased from Kanje Krafts, lots of lovely coloured cardstock, flowers, the little ones and flatback pearls purchased from Debbie Harris and a leaf punch from Chiswick. I also made 8 smaller cards along the same line just different colours for my daughter's teachers Thank You gifts this year.
