Merry Christmas everyone

Would just like to wish everybody a fantastic Christmas, and a Happy new Year, especially my followers and all you lovely people who have commented on my cards. I promise to be a better blogger next year, and make and upload more cards, you never know, i might even enter a few challenges.

I made this bauble image of my two gorgeous grandsons louis and Fray. TFL xx

Not a card

No inspiration lately,but have been messing about on computer and found a website and made this of my 2 gorgeous grandsons. You cant see much of Fray, but i think this is a lovely picture of louis. TFL x

Flowers and embossing

Here are a couple of cards i made using the same sentiment. They are 6 inch base cards with embossed edges. (Rose and Swiss dots) The first card has vine leaves which were hand drawn, coloured with promarkers then cut out, I then added 3 little white prima flowers with crystal centres. The second card just has a cluster of blue flowers from Wild orchid crafts. The leaves were cut using a woodware punch. TFL x

Pretty flower and leaves

I'm loving these simple cards, there just up my street as i really am not into anything fussy. This is a 6 inch card blank, and a bit of matting and laying using some lovely lilac card. The greeting is computer generated. I used a large lilac rose that i got in hobbycraft ages ago which i sprayed with glitter spray. It doesn't show up much, but now the spray had dried it looks like dew drops. I finished off with 3 leaves using the woodware leaf punch and not forgetting 3 little pearls for my usual bit of bling.

Double heart wedding

Made this for my gorgeous niece who is getting married next year, she is sooooo excited. It's an A/5 card blank, the centre has been embossed with a scroll embossing folder, although it's doesn't show up much on the photo. Used two hearts to represent the bride and groom. I added pearls to the bride and made a dickie bow from ribbon for the groom. The text is computer generated. I also made a lovely insert to make it special, just like my niece. TFL x

Flowers and Bling

Made this simple card using a 6 inch square card blank. A mat of pink pearl card then white card which i embossed with swiss dots. Layered the sentiment on pink and white card. Used white mulburry paper flowers, pink punched leaves and finished off with scrolls of crystal bling and a butterfly. TFL x

Butterfly birthday

After having a bit of a clear up i came across these large die cut butterflies, so thought i would put them to use.

I started of with an 8 inch card blank, then attached a strip of lemon swiss dots across the front. The greeting strip was computer generated. I attached the butterfly and finished off with a few pearls. TFL x

Pearl Anniversary and box

Was asked my my sister to make this card for her friend. Used a A/5 card, printed the verse directly on the front of the card then surrouded it with a nestie frame that was cut from pearl card. I used a selection of flowers from Wild orchid crafts(love that site) some punched leaves and pearls. . I also made a box which i decorated with flowers , ribbon and a bow. Hope she likes it. TFL x

Cuttlebug flowers

Another one of my simple cards. Made this using a 6 inch square card blank with a strip of whitewash cardstock that i embossed with swiss dots embossing folder. The 3 little embossd flowers are from another cuttlebug set which i cut out with a scallop punch. 3 little pearls were added for my usual bit of bling. The greeting was computer generated. TFL x

Blank & White vintage vogue

Made this 6 inch square card using the lovely Stampin up Vintage vogue set. Although i do like clean & simple cards, even for me i think this is a bit plain, what do you think?. Done a bit of Black & White matting and layering. The hardest part was cutting the flowers out, very fiddly. Not too sure about the leaves as i think they look a bit spindly. I'm gonna treat myself the the Martha Stewart Frond punch, I prefer the shape of that one. TFL x

Swiss dots

Made this using a 6 inch white card blank. The swiss dots with scallop boarder were mounted onto Red cardstock. Gingham ribbon from my stash was wrapped around and tied in a knot, then stuck to front of card. I use Red pearls to emphasise the pretty boarder punch. Greeting from craftwork cards TFL x

Pink Petticoat dandelion

Made this 5x7 card using one of the fab images from Pink Petticoat. I reduced the size and changed the colour, added a circle frame then cut it out with a punch. A piece of backing paper and 3 crystals were added to bling it up a bit. Sentiment also computer generated. I cased the idea whilst blog hopping. TFL x

Mirror mirror on the wall

I love these cute LOTV die cuts, perfect for me as i am useless with colouring. Made this 6 inch square card for Olivia, my nieces little girl, just perfect, cos she likes to dress up. TFL x

One little flower

Was picking up all the scraps of paper off the floor, and me being tight, i thought i ain't throwing that away so made this little CAS card.Hope you like it. TFL x

Cherry blossoms

Similar to a card i made previously but this time instead of using brads in the centre of the die cut flowers, i used 3 gorgeous pink cherry blossom flowers from Wild orchid crafts. They sell some really beautiful flowers, so well worth a look. Hope you like my card. TFL x

Three pretty flowers

I made this card for my sisters birthday. I used a greeting peel off which i stuck directly onto a 6 inch card blank. Cut out some pretty pink flowers and silver leaves. Crystal embellishments were used for the centre of the flowers that i found in my stash and a few crystals on the edge of the card for the bit of bling. Another quick and simple card to make. TFL x

Lilac daisy

I made this card using the Happy Birthday embossing folder on lilac pearlescent card, then a strip across using Swiss dots. The large flower is a Sizzix daisy die. I put a dotty brad in the centre of the flower to co-ordinate. Another easy peasy card. Think it's about time i got a bit more adventurous, but i,m in my comfort zone with plain and simple. TFL x

Aww, what a cutie

Here is a card i made using one of the gorgeous LOTV die cut images, they are so cute and perfect for me as my colouring is rubbish. Just a 6 inch square card blank, and some gorgeous shimmery lilac backing paper i found in my stash, lilac gingham, and 2 boarders cut with my Xcut punch. Flowers are from Wildorchids and 3 pearls for a bit of bling. TFL x

Digi image

Hello everyone. Here's a little card i made using the new digi download from Pink Petticoat. I just added a few gems for the all important bit of bling, and a strip of ribbon. Easy peasy. lol TFL xx

Thankyou card

I know i am a naughty blogger, but i just dont seem to have the time to make cards as much as i would like to. By the time i get home from work i am knackered, and i just want to fall asleep, lol. Here is a thankyou card made recently using a 5 inch square white card blank, some pretty foiled die cut flowers, and some gems for a bit of bling. The wording is computer generated. TFL x

Lilac & White flower card

Made this using some gorgeous lilac card with tiny silver dots that i got from Alley Pally. It is so pretty, i love it. I also used a selection of craftwork card goodies and a woodware scallop punch. TFL x

Just squares

I made this card for my BIL's birthday...It's a 6 inch square base card, then i used 4 punched squares in co-ordinating colours with the opposit corners rounded off. The gem in the middle was coloured with promarkers. Sentiment is computer generated. Hope you like it. TFL x

Card for Angie

This is the card that i made for Angie for helping me to create my blog. If it wasn't for her kindness i wouldn't be here now. Thank you Angie, i hope you like it. x

White flower card

This card was inspired by Julie. I love this style of card cos it's "plain & simple", a bit like me, lol. and so easy to make. It's just a 6 inch square card blank with 3 die cut flowers with pearl brads in the centres. These have been attached to a rectangle of card that i put through my big shot with swiss dots embossing folder. The rectangle was then attached to front of card. The sentiment is computer generated. Hope you like it. TFL
