Happy Birthday with Kraft

A simple birthday card today for my second DT piece this month at Country View Crafts where the theme is using Kraft card. I used Stampin' Up stamps (Butterfly Basics) and ink (Marina Mist) on this card. The flower was embossed with white embossing powder - I didn't initially intend to cut it out - but although a little fiddly to do, I love how it has created some dimension on the card.

Have a great day.

Male Card Ideas

I have been playing around with cards for men for one of my Stampin' Up card classes and thought I would share a few. Some of these are quite simple and quick. (Just spotted I included one with a flower and rhinestone - mmmm maybe not for a guy!)

Thanks for looking.

Happy Times (12 Tags of 2015 - April)

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Thanks for the recent comments and visits - I really appreciate you stopping by.

I will keep this one quick - my Tim tag for April. I was lacking the resources used by Tim so changed things round a bit - I should have gone bigger than a No 8 tag as my Runway girls needed a little more space! Loved Tim's version. might have to invest in the flower stamps after all.

See you soon
