New technique!

Hey everyone!

I decided seen as I was a little ill and busy this last weekend that I would make a few cards today. As of the moment I've only made one so sorry but this post will only have one card! Can you forgive me ;)

 Anyways I've been researching on Pinterest (CraftinEm if you want to follow me) about new techniques  to make my cards 10 times better! Then I found this! First I'll show you my card and then tell you about it!

                               

I found a video and a few card tutorials on how to make coloured and embossed background. So biting the bullet I tried it. First ink your embossing folder (the side which is not raised). Then press your card or paper in your embossing machine/die cutter and watch the magic happen! You will come out with a beautifully coloured and embossed piece of paper. Depending on the colour of ink you decide to use you can create a vintage background or a vibrant background. 

I decided to add lace and a beautiful red flower to make a gorgeous vintage card for when your thinking of someone.

Mother's Day making!

Hope Hey all,

It's been a funny few days here in my household! I've been here, there and everywhere! However I am excited to tell you I am currently writing this post from my new iPad! I decided to bite the bullet and use my savings! This way I can write to you all and upload to etsy whenever I like! However today's post is not for me to ramble on about my new electronics but for my new Mother's Day makes. I'll show them in order of made and of course, they'll be up tomorrow on etsy. Enjoy!

EDIT: new up on etsy!

The Shabby Tea Room entry #200

Hey everyone! 

It's that time of the week again, the time where I show you my shabby tea room entry. This week I found it really hard even though it was all my style! We were given this photo.

We were told to add roses too and unfortunately for me, I had no red roses left! So I decided to make my roses a little less ominant and used them as my background. Here is my entry this week.

I'm so proud of myself for making this poise today! I used a tiny flower die and cut it 5 times. I sanded each flower, then held them all with pink brad.

Wish me luck everyone!

1920's cards!

Hey all! 

I made quite a few cards last night so here is a short post with the others that I made.

This card is made with the docrafts 1920's themed range and I must admit it makes very grown up cards. I love how you can make very flamboyant but cute cards quickly with this range. Of course I would give this to a female, however you could make one for a male too.

This is the third valentines card I have made and am getting a few comments on them now. I love how the green flower pops out from the background in this design.

Coming up tomorrow is The Shabby Tea Room competition! Can't believe it's been a week already.

Thanks for reading.
