As the U.K celebrated with father's day on Sunday 21st June 2020. I was settling down after being busy  making orders for them all of them. Here are some of the makes I came up with.

More Father's Day cards which I made think I've been so busy because the U.K has been in lockdown due to this awful viruse that has swept the world and every country has been hit by it.
Anyway back to card making these are more makes I did.

I was asked for a MG TD card for A guy that use to own one

someone who loves to read 

love their wine

who has a guitar

and the golfer. 

I get set for some challenges and I hope I do them all justice.

Thanks for dropping by and stay safe all.

Back To The 80s

Can't believe I I havn't posted anything since last Wednesday and I monday now.his card was for some one who just loves the 80smost of the Ideas and prints came from pintrest. 

I find pintrest very helpful for getting print out and ideas to help with my card making I find it helps with my mogo when I feel I can't come up with anything. 

Hope everyone is well and you didn't find it to wet over the weekend.

Stay safe

Colouring Ribbon

Morning all hope your all well this morning I want to  talk about ribbon, coloured ribbon on this card I wanted a pink ribbon white would be lovely but the recipient already was going to get a card made by me with  large white bow so wanted to keep it slightly different 

 I didn't have a wide pink so I decided to colour white ribbon using my Sharpe Feltip pen

using the pen you just colour one side of the ribbon and it's enough to soak through I colour on the right side (front) of the ribbon

once dry I made the bow up I used my bow maker for this you can get help on you tube how to make them.

To secure the bow in place I use a hot glue gun (watch you don't burn your fingers the glue can be quite hot) the last thing you want is your bow to come off and hot glue is very strong, on this card I secured a flower diamante on the middle of the bow using hot glue again.

Well that's it for today hope  you have found this informative and you may want to give it ago .
Next time you want a colour ribbon you havn't got in your stash.
Thank you for popping by my blog stay safe

First ever 100th Birthday Card

I was very lucky to be asked to make a 100 birthday card. It was a last minute request so only had about 2 hours at night to design and make because off my day job.

The customer was very happy with what I came up with I think the name does it all as it makes the card so personal to the recipient.

The card is the standard 5x7 layering blue and white cards using small stamps to make the back ground and stamping out the balloons and cutting them out.
Using foam pads to attach them.
Stamping out the 100 and cutting them out again attaching them with foam pads. I used a fine liner black pen to draw the strings in.

Putting it all together with verse inside.

Rush off to my day job now and do 8 and half hours before I can get in my craft room tonight.
Happy crafting all enjoy your day.
I will be back tomorrow
