Hey Mr Mister ....

Male cards ... hmmm they seem to stump many people, especially me!  

With ladies themed cards there are oodles and oodles of things out there to make the card pretty but boy, when it comes to male cards sometimes it's a little bit sparse.  Yes I know there are many masculine items too but sometimes creating things can cause a total mental block which sends you into a mad panic as a birthday approaches or Father's day!  Can I really make another golf themed card this year for dad?!?!

Yesterday I was demoing over at Craftworld in Hillington at their Spring Paper Exravaganza (which is on today too) and was working with one of docrafts latest releases, Mr Mister

This range will certainly help to make those male cards and there is so many fab things in the range that you can embellish the cards without the need for bling :)

I will leave you with this card which was the most popular card at the demo ... My Hero!

Thanks for stopping by

Every Moment Counts

'Every moment counts' it really does!

Today Ruby Rock-it fans I am here to share with you a little 'belated' birthday gift I made for a friend of mine.  

I used the Heritage collection and teamed it with some fabulous product from Freckled Fawn.

This started life as a blank 'b' which I painted with some acrylic paint down the sides before sticking some paper to the front and the back.  The script 'b' is a lower case and looks fiddly to cut out but if you make sure your craft knife is nice and sharp you shouldn't have any problems.

The DT were sent the gorgeous November Ohdeerme embellishment kit from Freckled Fawn and it was packed full of some amazing things.  I loved the little wallet it all came in and the stickers and wood shapes are just gorgeous .... and the felt doily, need I say more! *love*

Wedding Crackers

The summer season brings lots of weddings and today I thought I would share a little idea that could be used as favours for the guests.  I have this amazing die from Xcut which is a cracker and along with the Bella 'My Romance' Wedding range it is just perfect for creating these non Christmas crackers.  

Once I made the crackers up and filled them with goodies.  I tied them with some ribbon and then made some toppers to go on each of them. 

I used the spellbinders scallop and circle dies for the base of the toppers and then added some of the Bella! wedding embellishments to finish them, the little 'Bride and Groom' toppers are in the die-cut pack.   

I pierced some holes around the edge.
