Two lacey Thank yous
Playing with my Spellbinders again and patiently awaiting my next big delivery of two POTWs from C&C has given me the inspiration to create some more cards.
I used a florals MCS to create the back ground images. then set about enhancing this with the Lacey Ovals I stamped my greeting first and scattered straw to colour the inner edges of the smallest oval and crushed olive on the other. I also used the corners from the Parisian Accents to even up the the layout. I finished with some ribbon rose buds, a bow and finally glittering the leaf trails on the background.

Polka Doodles
I wanted to do some grunge
What better to use that Polka Doodles Pretty Tuff I love Nikki Halls images and backing papers. I layered two of the papers but use MCS to print the birthday greeting and Footy Fan message. used the same papers again to make the smaller mat but grouped them together before printing also the sentiment I coloured to match the card and printed out the footballer. I used small die around the footballer so had to cut around his foot and lifter out of the die before cutting so he looks like he is running off the shaped mat. I finished with a decoupage football a mixture of fired brick and Black soot distress ink around the edges of the layers

Setting the scene with My Craft Studio
This is CD crafting, I've had this CD but this is the first time I've used the images and not added any other embellishments if you know what I mean.
You are able to choose your own background and add extras into the foreground. the fence and dog are decoupaged and I printed the greeting directly onto the card along with the background.
There are a load of images to choose from it really is a brilliant CD and the software MCS professional is a great programm and so easy to use.

Marianne creative die twice to get the fancy outer mat.
Beaded Circles for the base of the decoupage to which I added liquid pearls.
I used the little heart cutouts as extras around the dies

The Golfer
I used Jolly Nations Decoupage for this card and craft Artist to create the Ribbon and Paper for the greeting.
I used Spellbinder labels to matt and layer the backing for the golfer
I chose to use Brown and Blue to match the jumper and some Spiced Marmalade distressed ink to edge the ribbon, card and greeting label.
I love Jolly Nations but dont often see there products in the local craft shops. I got these from QVC along with some stamps

A Mother's Day Selection
Mother's Day I love making these cards it gives me a chance to experiment with my Spellbinder dies mixing them up and incorporating stamping techniques and ribbon ruffling on the last card.

Anniversary medal
I was asked to make a Fun card for a 40th Anniversary that looked like a rosette or medal and came upi with this. I used a mixture of Spellbinder and Marianne Dies.
I Love making Fun cards and think I managed to keep the decorum of the Anniversary, Ican tell you it was received very well and has taken pride of place
Butterfly Pazzles
I used my lovely Pazzles machine to cut the edge for this card used flourish stamps for the background. I printed the greeting and used a Spellbinder die to the fancy shape and a few punched out butterflies and Gems.
(Note to myself)
I need to use my Pazzles more as i got the Inspiration Studio Pro software for Christmas but have not had much time to play with it.
