Holly Wreath and Fleur De Lis

Another card made using the beautiful Fleur De Lis Shapeability die. The holly wreath I made by punching holly leaves from 2 shades of green card, punched small red dots from red glitter card and added small punched snowflakes from white glitter card. Added a little bling with tiny rhinestones in the centre of each snowflake and the red bow is a stamped image.

Quick and simple which is just how I like it!

Fleur De Lis

This is my latest Spellbinders purchase, the Fluer De Lis Shapeability die, which I have to admit when I very first used it in my Cuttlebug I could not release the card from the die, but after a few trials and errors its now working a treat. I love the shape and versatility of this die and I have decided that the border to match is a must, so thats me next planned spend!!

What do you think of my handmade poisettia? I was just playing about with a Woodware leaf punch and this is what I ended up with, I am quite pleased with it and I think it works quite well against the white background of the Fluer De Lis shape.

Baby Boy on Moon

A friend of ours has just discovered she is expecting a baby boy after her 20 week scan. I made her this card in readiness for his arrival, this stamp is so quick and simple and I love the sentiment.

My New Toy!!

At long last I managed to find a Martha Stewart Doily punch and this is the card I made using this fabulously pretty punch.

The central square was so much easier than I thought it would be, it's just a 3" square of card. The punch is aligned centrally on each side and presto, a perfectly balanced punched square!

Dottie & George Engagement Card

This card was made for a friend's daughter's engagement and I wanted to make it bright and funky with a hint of romance. I love the Dottie and George downloads, this one is from the Love & Marriage collection, if you haven't tried them yet, go have a look at Charmed Cards & Crafts

Lots to choose from and reasonably priced.

Tilda Birthday Card

This card I have made for a very dear friend's birthday. The little angel charm has 'Made for an Angel' on the back of it which is very apt for her. The papers are Basic Grey Sugared, the large flowers are homemade using the Cuttlebug, the smaller flowers are punched with a pearl brad to hold them together. The leaves are punched using the Leone Em Ash branch.

Valentine or Anniversary & Cuttlebug Challenge # 17

One of my buys was this gorgeous punch which I couldn't wait to have a play with! There were four of us went together and we had a fab day, thanks to Barbara, Anne and Janet.

This card is also my entry for this week's challenge on the Cuttlebug Spot # 17 which is to have the word 'love' in your project.

Magnolia 21st Birthday Card & Colour Create Challenge # 1

What do you think of this card, I feel that there is something missing but not sure what, any ideas or suggestions gratefully received! Tilda's top and socks are green not yellow as they look in the photo. I usually put separate inserts inside my cards but decided to try something different by adding a bit of embellishment inside instead. The card is for a friend for her nieces's 21st birthday. It's also my entry for the very first challenge on Colour Create - pink, green and brown!
