missing card reader!

well - I took lots of photos yesterday of my new cards an I was really excited and ready to post them - well until I discovered that my card reader has gone for a walk! - this even prompted a fit of tidying up, to no avail however as I still haven't found it! oh well as soon as it turns up I will add some new cards. I have also added an email link - if you register you will get an email when I update the blog!

thanks for looking - Deborah x

Mini ribbon slider card



I love this Style of card - as you can tell!! and I am having a Pink phase at the moment, I have a few more cards to post but the weather has taken a turn for the worse and I prefer daylight for the photos! - whenever I show my hubby the cards I have made he is only interested if they move or do something interesting!!! - I am on the hunt for fun cards to make - at least I get a postitive reaction then! - I used the Year after year stamp set with Pixie Pink ink - and the Stamp and Stick powder - I love glitter but find that no matter what I do it drops off the card! - at least with this it stays on - well after I found that you have to heat it again after putting the glitter on! - now I want to use it on everything - will try for a non-pink card next time - thanks for looking!

long slider card


this is a longer version of the small slider card - I just love the butterfly! from the Bold Butterflies set and using the Happy Everything set for the insert - I used the stamp and stick powder to add the glitter and a versamark ink pad for the subtle effect on the card
Hope you like it!

Pocket Card




I love the Happy Everything stamp set, the script is so nice - and the greetings that come with it work really well on their own as well as with the main stamp - really good for 3x3 cards as they are so small! - I made this card using Real Red ink and cardstock - on whisper white - I used the office accoutrements set for the flower - I really like this flower - I bought the set to use for my scrapbooking but use the flower more than anything!

Secret message card





this is such a simple card but looks really effective! - I used a lot of different stamp sets for this but you could get a similar effect just using one - I was just having fun playing with all the different sets!
I used the small flower from Little Bits and the greeting inside was from Sincere Salutations, I used the dots and the other greeting from Polka Dots and Paisley and the other flower was from the Seeing Spots set - the card stock was Lovely Lilac and Orchid Opulence and I just used the Versamark pad and the lovely lilac pad on the insert - I also used the Heat and Stick powder to add the glitter! - I was having a great time playing! -

Slider card




I made this slider card using whisper white card and orchid opulence I also used my Versamark ink pad which is fantastic as it gives such a nice tone on tone effect. - This is one of my favourite stamp sets - Polka dots and Paisley, it is really versatile and it is also one of the sets on offer this month! if you purchase this set you can get the matching roller for 50% discount!
