Playing

I was visiting a friends blog last month and was really impressed by her fancy fold thingy card so I thought I would have a go at making one myself. Well being a bit thick I had to email Linda to find out how to do it! Her instructions were really good but even so I didn't put my all in to it as I thought it would probably go wrong, so I just had a play with it to see how it worked. I think next time I will make it a bit shorter so I can use smaller stamps, but anyway here is my effort and here is a link to Linda's blog where you can see how to do it properly!!!



This is the inside, a sort of Andy Warhol stylie - well in my head it is anyway!!!




And this is the cover! Thanks for looking - leave a comment if you like!!!!

ATC Swap

I've made 4 atcs for a monthly swap that I do on Hels Crafty Angels, and we had to follow the theme of friendship, include ribbon, a 3D element and of course rubber stamping! I really enjoyed making these atcs as it made a nice change from all those xmas cards!!!!!




My First Card for 2009!

How lazy am I!!!! This is my first post on my blog this year - tut tut!!! This is a birthday card that I did for Irene. I used a new shape of card that I recently bought and I covered one section with decorative paper and then used my glossy rub ons, paper flowers and gem stones to decorate the fold over detail. Not very adventurous but you have to start somewhere I suppose!
