Get Well Card

My niece recently went into hospital for an operation, and this is the
card I made for her.

 
After embossing a small piece of white card with the 3D folder, I mat and
layered it onto pink card and glued it directly onto the card base.

I then stamped the sentiment, added the punched daisy and leaves,
then finished by adding the diamante gems.

The items I have used are:
Lisa Horton Crafts, 3D embossing folder - Prism
Julie Hickey Designs stamps - I Need: Everyday Sentiments
Woodware Punches - Daisy and Foliage

My Time to Craft Challenge #471 - 'Stitching - Faux or Real'

 A new challenge starts today over at My Time to Craft where
the theme this fortnight is  'Stitching - Faux or Real'

Sharing my design team card...

All the details of the challenge can be found HERE

This was a really quick and easy card to make. I started by
embossing the stitched oval die directly onto the base card.

Next I die cut the whole of the rosebud in green card, and the petals 
in pink. I glued the complete flower onto the card and paper pieced
the petals, adding a pearliesd gem to the centre.

Lastly, using my Misti stamping platform, I added the sentiment.

The products I have used are:

Get Well Soon

I was asked by one of my good friends and neighbour if I could make a 'Get Well Soon' card

for his Mum, as she had recently broken her ankle.

Trying to find a free image on the internet of a female with her foot in a plaster cast

proved very difficult, but I did manage to find this image of the three flamingos which

I thought would be appropriate!

I am happy to report that he was pleased with it....I hope his Mum is too when she receives it!

at all their fabulous makes.

Today I would like to show you my latest project for the Fiskarettes Design Team 

which can be found here on their Facebook page.
My friend Christine from Creativity Continues got me into making wrappers for
chocolate bars, after I saw quite a few different ones she had made, which she posted on
her blog and also earlier on Hope and Chances.

Last year I was lucky enough to be one of Christine's six winners in a competition she ran
to make a chocolate bar wrapper. If you would like a peek, details can be found here.
They make an ordinary bar of chocolate look something special and can be given for all occasions.

The items I have used are:-
Fiskars
Interchangeable Border Punch - Ivy Cassette
Lever Punch Medium - Butterfly
Tag Maker - Standard and Scallop
Sentiment - free gift with a magazine
