Dark and mysterious

Dark and mysterious...that's how i describe this card I have made. I love the dark look to this backing card. reminds me of how dark it went here last Thursday morning before the rain!

 

All I have used is Odessa Sky (CRD1781), some Kraft card and some Bakers twine. I cut the letters and key with Sizzix dies. I have cut out a stand using a Joy die.

I wanted to show you a card I made using some of the new Kanban card stock we have in store. Here is what I have used

• A4 Kanban cardstock
• Floral stamps
• Sizzix die

I added some glitter to the card. A very quick and easy card to make.

Thank you for visiting

25th Anniversary card

 

O





One of the girls who works with my husband and daughter is celebrating her 25th Wedding Anniversary. She asked me to make a card for her husband. Cards and no hearts I was told.
For a week I couldn't think what to do. Eventually I decided on this easel card. The cars are from Kanban, coloured with Promarkers and I put Glossy Accents on the windows and lights. The sentiment is computer generated and I used Black Soot Distress Inks around the edge.

It's difficult to do a commissioned card as you don't know what the person really has in mind.. I just hope that it will be okay.

Totally Gorjuss DT card - Not a Square card!

 
It's Saturday so that must mean another challenge at Totally Gorjuss. This week we want anything but a square card. So NO square cards please. The DT girls have excelled themselves so do check them out.

For my card I have made a round scalloped card using my Big Shot Pro and Pro Sizzix die. The girl image is from Kanban and has been coloured with Promarkers. The pink/mauve cardstock is also from Kanban.

We are looking forward to some interesting card shapes!!!!!
So go on, don't be Square...have a go

I'm back - no longer MIA!!!!!

Phew after what seems like a lifetime I am back on the blogging scene, but for how long I don't know.
As some of you may know we have recently had some terrible problems with out internet provider, SKY. They had blocked us  (switched us off ) twice and lo and behold they did it again a week ago Monday. They don't give us any notice, they don't email us, ring us or send us a letter. One minute we are working on the computer and the next the internet is gone completely. They won't even tell us what the problem is so that we can rectify it!!!! I can tell you we have been mad angry here in this little part of Wolverhampton! It has been devastating for my husband and daughter as a lot of work is done in the evenings on the computer and they haven't been able to do anything. I haven't been able to fulfill my DT duties (I have only just joined one Challenge blog recently on the DT team, what must they think?) and of course I haven't commented on all your blogs either. I have a lot to catch up with so please bear with me.

On to happier things. I was at the Summer Crafting show at Doncaster on Saturday and was demoing for Sarah at Hotshot crafts. She has all the latest Kanban stamps and all with FREE p+p!!! You can click on the link at the top of my side bar to order. The stamps are really good quality and some of them are very similar to LOTV. I had 2 days to make 42 cards and I am glad to say I did it! How I am not sure ,,,no housework or cooking!!!
I also got to meet the lovely Net, owner of the Totally Gorjuss blog and we had a little natter. I will try to upload a card as soon as poss Net,as long as I don't get blocked again! The day was sooooo busy,. It was like the NEC. Over the next few days I will upload some of the samples I made.
It is so good to be back. Please leave a comment as I have been very lonely this past week!!!

Love sarah XXX
p.s. I have just noticed that on the first picture of me with Net I look like I have been self harming! Honestly I haven't. Those are 2 oven burns. Really, cooking is far to dangerous a hobby. It's much safer working with sharp scissors, guillotines and sharp craft knives!!!!!
