Birthday Greetings

I made this card for a close friend who celebrated her birthday last Thursday. I hope she had a great day and was spoilt by her family.

Using the Elements of Style stamp set, but not the flowers this time. I have used rich razzleberry, old olive, whisper white cardstock and ink and some retired old olive taffeta ribbon from christmas last year. I saw a card similar to this online somewhere but cant remember who it came from.(sorry)

Thanks for stopping over here to have a look.

Missing In Action

Well my dear friends, sorry about the lack of posts lately. I have had surgery and just haven't had the inclination to post any of my cards etc. I have had my wonderful parents with me for 8 weeks, they came when my surgery was to first go ahead and when it was cancelled they just stayed on. Mum and I did some crafting, trying out a few new things and even had my Dad peeling off the double sided tape backing when we were mass producing calendars for the school fete.

So over the next few days I will show you some of what I have been up to in the last little while. Mind you I made some lovely thank you cards, but gave them away to the hospital staff that looked after me so well.

This is a birthday card I made to give to my Mum for her birthday, but not the one she received. I made two and then couldn't decide which one she would like the most.

This card was made with soft suede, baja breeze and cherry cobbler card stock.
I even tried my hand out at embossing with the cherry cobbler embossing powder, not bad for a beginner in this field.

Well I hope you are all geared up for the oncoming festive season and are all well and happy.
Take Care
Michelle

Another Thank you.

Like I said in my last entry, I have been making some Thank you cards.
This one is extremely similar to a birthday card that I received from a friend of mine Fiona Platzer.

I have to admit that this stamp set Elements of Style is also a favourite of mine.
The card is made using Elegant eggplant, marina mist and white cardstock. Marina Mist DSP, soft plum and old olive ink. Also used the Scallop Trim border punch.
Have a great day,
Michelle .

Thank you

I was going through my stash of cards, to find I have a thousand female happy birthday cards and very few of anything else. I am in need of a few Thank you cards, so set about making some.

I even decorated the inside a little. I really like this card. It is made using Crumb cake, Baja Breeze and vanilla cardstock. I embossed the front of the card using the Square Lattice embossing folder. I have used a retired SU stamp set but I just love this stamp set. Also used the Modern Label punch.

Hope you like this card.

I'm Back.

Hello Everyone,
Well the last couple of weeks have flown by with no real time for crafting.
My parents have arrived for a visit, they were coming to help me after some surgery but that has been postponed for a month.(bugger!!! and I am so disappointed, but know it is for the best in the long term.)
So I have been busy making a few items to keep my mind busy.
I would like to share with you a few of these.

First is this little Desktop Calendar box by Connie Babbert and thought it was a potential gift idea.
I have used some new cardstock and retired DSP and greeting. Am liking that the DSP had flowers on it and the butterflies fitted in. The only thing I have not done is to add a brad to the little draw, I would like to find on in the shape of a butterfly, to finish off the theme of this project.

Here I have tried to give a side on view of the box and card.

Hope this finds everyone well and taking care,

Regards

Tie a Yello Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree.

Well its been a busy days with no crafting at all, so tonight I sat down and decided to complete a greeting cards challenge over at The Outlawz. It is a greeting card inspired by a song. I chose Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak tree. I like the brightness of the Daffodil Delight ribbon and the kraft card seemed the right thing for the embossed tree...and what tree is complete with out a little owl of say "hello"?

So, what do you think? Does it fit the challenge discription?

Hope you like this card I have shared today.
