Love a Latte




This chocolate & cream creation is a digi from Designed 2 Delight, it's the perfect hot chocolate with frothy cream, sprinkles and chocolate curls, Nom Nom Nom.......

I used Promarkers to colour the design, and cut out the image using a Nestabilities die and mounted on 3D foam pads. The DP is from Dovecraft and I used a velvet ribbon & some lace. All the papers and cardstock has been distressed with a small brown ink pad. I love using a small one for this as you can get into the nooks and crannies better ad I have better control with it :)

This is the very last of the Valentine's cards I made although I do have some images that I coloured in but didn't make it to a card in time. They may re-appear as a different project now.....

Forever Friends Envelope Bag


I made this gift bag to contain the tin I made Paul for Valentine's Day as well as some Face Masks for men so I can pamper him when we go away for a hotel break soon. It is made from a large envelope which has been re-folded to give it a base like a shop bought gift bag.

I have decorated it using a Forever Friends clear sticker on some Nestabilities mats. The papers are from the Love Letters pad from Trimcraft. I have added some faux stitching around the edges with some little kisses - you've got to have kisses for Valentines day :)

The little puffy hearts are from Paperchase and the punched border and hearts are courtesy of Martha Stewart. The sentiment is digi from Doodle Pantry and I tied the bag with an organza ribbon which has been threaded through punched holes courtesy of my Cropadile.

Paul is a keen amateur photographer and has just been invited to take part in a photo shoot with a real life model and everything. There is only a small number of people invited so it is a real achievement for him. I am so very proud of him as when he takes up a hobby he spends a lot of time learning and researching and he has taken some lovely photos. He has a very good eye for depth of field and has taken some amazing portraits. Only trouble is the shoot is on his Mom's birthday and he's yet to break the news to her........

2 Peas in a Pod


This little beauty is the card I made for Paul for Valentines's day. It is part of a digistamp set called Romantic Vegetables from Little Musings by SJ. I follow her on Facebook and as soon as I saw these 2 little peas in a pod I KNEW that this was the image. However, due to IT and printer issues I nearly didn't get to print it off in time. My knight in shining armour came to the rescue once more. (love you loads sweetie xxx)

I used a very simple sketch from Order of the Opus Gluei as I wanted the image to be the main focal point. It has been coloured with Promarkers and I paper pieced the peas and the front of the pod to add dimension. There is a tiny heart on the image but I covered it up with a gold brad to tie in the brad and gems on the velvet ribbon (one of my Hobbycraft bargains, 29p for 2m!) I matted the image on a Nestie with a gold gilding pen border.

The paper is from the Woodland folks range by Papermania and the sentiment is a digi from Doodle Pantry which has been cut out using a Quickutx cookie die.

Love Ya Cupcake SFYTT


Another card with a Valentine theme using the Love Ya Cupcake from Designed 2 Delight. I missed out on this when it was a progressive freebie but was able to purchase it recently when Faith did a buy one get one free promo on the CDAC. I used the current SFYTT by Jen Del Muro over at I (heart) 2 Stamp.

The cupcake has been coloured in with Promarkers with stickles glitter glue added on the edge and the sprinkles. I also added glossy accents to the top of the hearts but the photo hasn't picked that up well.

The papers are from the Papermania Sweet Nothings range which I chose particularly because of the Love Heart sweetie paper. I have distresses the edges with a small ink pad. The punched heart is using my Martha Stewart punch which I luvs so very much :) It cost £21 so I will be using it loads, be warned LOL.

The heart ribbon brad is by Papermania. I cut the legs off the back to make it sit neater on the card and last but not least the 'ribbon' is in fact a shoe lace (Yes.... really!) I found a wicked bargain at Poundland which was a pack of 4 pairs of laces in assorted sizes for £1 Some of them are really long and there were 2 different designs in each pack. I thought it looked just like a patterned woven twill tape so I am very pleased with my bargain. It always go to show that if you have an open mind you can pick up lots of crafty bargains from the most unlikely sources :)

Fishing Valentine


For a male themed valentines card I have used a great freebie digital image from Designed 2 Delight with some of my most favourite masculine papers by Trimcraft and K & Co.

The image has been coloured in with Promarkers. I have used the Martha Stewart unch on the spotty paper to add some more hearts but in a muted way suitable for a man.

The sentiment is a digi from Glitterbabe and has been cut out using a Quickutz cookie cutter die set.
