Another Snippets Card

Another Snippet Challenge over at Di's Place. Go and check it out and join in - it's a great way of using up all your 'snippets'!

You may have seen some of this background on another card of mine as I use ALL my snippets in one way or another, nothing gets as far as the recyle bin when I'm card making!

Once again, my lovely Magnolia stamp is used on this card, along with a 'busy' background, so I kept it fairly simple by just putting a pearlised die cut behind her, used some glitter dots (which you can't totally see on this photo - sorry!), along with some more MS PATP offcuts and a little sentiment tag. 

Enjoy!

Special Magnolia Girl...

I saw this little cutie in a visit to a craft shop and she's so gorgeous I just had to have her.  I don't normally get Magnolia stamps as they are so expensive, but I did splash out on two.  Well, you just have to don't you! 

I've stamped a few of them and used different colourings in them so you'll see a few coming along but I know a lot of you are Magnolia fans.  I've tried some different techniques on the colouring as well - what do you think? 

Again I've used my MS PATP set and used the cheapy £ shop card for the matting and layering.  I was going to add some lace in as well, but forgot before I used my DST, so sorry about that! 

This is an easel card, but I've not quite finished the inside yet.  My little yellow flower embellishment suits the colouring fine (and a bargain at 45p for the bag), sadly I only have two left now.  Again the gold brad was from my bargain pack too.  I'm one of life's "bargain bin checkers!" - you never know what you might find.

Hope you like my little cutie and I'll finish the inside soon don't worry!

Enjoy!

A cute little Magnolia!

I'm not sure whether to make this into a Mothers Day card or something else yet.  Depends what else I make I suppose as there's a bit of time yet.

I got this gorgeous die cut set for Christmas (I was told to go to the Craft Shop and get whatever I wanted - imagine the fun I had!!!! LOL!!!).

It's so easy to use and looks very effective no matter which die cuts you use.  I've even found the little centre ones are used which we don't always do with sets do we.  I can see myself using this one a lot, so just let me know if you get bored with them!

I added some clear gems (bargain from the £1 shop!), ribbon (another bargain only 49p for the whole roll!), some die cut butterflies which were given to me (not sure what make they are sorry) but I added glitter and some gems and they look great.

Enjoy!

Party Time!

Another square card - this helps use all my cardstock, but I now need to find a good, reasonable priced supplier for square envelopes.  Any suggestions, just let me know.  I've heard Craft Creations are good, so am going to check them out...any others welcome!

Here's a little Party Girl, kindly stamped for me whilst I was looking for a wedding image.  I added some snazzy backing paper (which is a Christmas paper believe it or not!), and then added some PATP paper stock to make her stand out.  The die cut's were sent by the lovely Gill, and I decided to try die cutting leaving some of the image outside of the die cut.  Not sure what that is called, but it worked which is brilliant!

I added some of my bargain self adhesive ribbon and used a rub on for the "Party Time" sentiment. Also I put some teeny tiny gems around the circle die cut.  Small embellishments help now with postage costs I've found out to my purse's pain!

Enjoy!
