Another Pink Card....argghhh...what's happening to me.....

Yes Delilah has had a big effect on my crafty stash cardmaking!  This one is all pink and girlie too.

I made the 'jotter style' paper myself.  I used a hole punch to make the holes and used my scissors to snip out the 'ripped page' look.  I think I've got it, not perfect, but it adds to the effect I suppose!

I used a stamped image coloured with my trusty promarkers again and then used the other half of the bargain adhesive ribbon and added some small bling gems to each end of the card.  These cards are yellow in colour, so it shows up quite well (bargain again 50p for 15 cards, with envelopes!).  Shame they had no more.

The lilac core-dinations card was put through the Cuttlebug and distressed with an old nail file.  Who needs expensive tools for crafting when you can use other things around the house.

You should see what I've got to put my Distress Ink Pad on with!  I'll have to share that with you soon.  Saves spending out ££££ for a blending tool...!

Enjoy!

A Different Style of Card

Now that my back is a little better, I've got back into my crafting.  Although I can't sit for long, I do it in short bursts when I can.

I made this folded style card as I had an idea in my head.  I crimped some glossy paper and put it on the small folded edge, added my promarkered (is there such a word?!?!?) image after cutting it out and added some adhesive ribbon (bargain 50p in Hobbycraft ages ago!!).

For the top, I just put on some of the gorgeous pink backing paper (what is it with pink and me lately? I think Delilah has had an effect on my taste - I never used to be a pink lady before!).

Another sentiment made using the crimper and added a gorgeous pink brad (in a goody box from Di) and voila, all done!

I also added an insert so whoever buys it from the Cancer Charity can write their message on it for the recipient.  A different card, but it still fits in a standard C6 envelope which is good.

Talking of envelopes - where do you get yours? I normally made smaller cards, but have had some requests for bigger cards and I don't have envelopes for them to hand!  Oops!

Enjoy!
