Special Delivery!!!

Happy Easter!

Today's card has absolutely nothing at all to do with Easter, (although the papers came from an Easter Digital scrap booking kit so does that count?!), but I bought the digi stamp a couple of days ago and couldn't wait to colour it up and show it off.

 I have a few friends who would really appreciate this fun card.

On Friday morning I spent a couple of hours adding gems to two pairs of baby Converse. My daughter Stacy had bought a pair for each of her brother and sisters new babies but wanted me to bling them up. You should have seen the state of me doing them, the glue is toxic and has to be used in a well ventilated area and you need to wear a mask too, so there I was sitting in my craft room with all the windows wide open, wearing a big thick woolly cardigan, scarf, protective mask and goggles and looking like something from a horror movie, (not much different than usual then LOL!). I blinged the rubber toes and added a little bit of a design around the sides.

I think they turned out OK.

Wishing you all a lovely Easter,

Rocket Man

Today I have one of the new Paper Creator Triple over the Edge cards to show you. These are trifold cards and some of the images stick out over the edge of the card. They are really simple to put together and the kit contains all the decoupage, sentiment panels (including a blank one to add your own message) and a matching box like envelope. Once the card was made I really didn't do much more than punch out a few glittery silver stars and dot them around.

A Bee-utiful Day Bookmark Card

Here's another one of the Bookmark cards from the Paper Creator mega bundle. This time around I used the editable sheet and added my own wording to the bookmark and the sentiment strip on the front. I added all the decoupage layers, made up the matching envelope and perforated the join between the card and bookmark so that it can be easily separated.

I love the bright summery colours of this card, which is just what we need after all the snow we've had recently.

Burst of Sunshine!

Yes, I did say sunshine, although the ground is still mostly covered in snow and it is bitterly cold, the sun is streaming through the window as I type this, there is a bit of blue in the sky and a bit of green grass peeping through as the snow thaws, it will be summer before you know it LOL!

To be honest - Burst of Sunshine - is the name of the digital scrap-booking kit I used for today's Teddy Bo Tuesday card. I felt a need for some bright sunny colours as a change from all the wintry weather we've been having recently.

A Pirates Life Bookmark Card

Paper Creator have a fabulous Mega Bundle of bookmark cards, these are brilliant as you are giving a card and little gift at the same time, they are really easy to make and the Mega Bundle contains 10 different designs. You can also buy the designs singly.

The kit contains decoupage, a matching envelope and and a blank bookmark and sentiment panel so that you can add your own wording if you want. I have made a couple of these and the one I am showing you today is just printed as it comes, I have added the decoupage layers, perforated down the join between the card and bookmark so the bookmark will tear off easily and made the matching envelope.

I will show you another later in the week where I added my own wording to the bookmark and sentiment panel.
