I completely lost all my mojo, and what with getting a new laptop with windows 8, Grrrrr I just gave up. I am going to tidy up my craft room this weekend and have a good sort out of all the new stash that I have brought and not even opened yet, and I might even make a card or two. <br />
Off to do a bit of blog hopping now to see what you have all be up to. <br />
<br />
I haven't got a card but thought I would share a picture of my gorgeous grandson Louis'<br />

After seeing so many gorgeous cards using paper bows, i thought i would give them a try and found them really easy to make, no more trying to find the correct ribbon colour to go with your project. Here are a couple of really simple cards using this paper technique. Hope you like them.

It's been so long since i blogged and now my blog is the new set up, I hope this card appears, oh how i hate change. This card was made with some die cuts that were given to me by my sister. i punched out some flowers and leaves and glittered then, which gives them a blue hue, which i quite like. The sentiment is one of my favourites which is computer generated. Hope you like it.

She is 60 tomorrow and my daughter has arranged a surprise party for her with about 80 people invited, including me, lol. She thinks she is being taking out for a nice meal. I made this card using the lovely Anja squares , they are so pretty. The outside boarder is a Martha Stewart PATP. I embossed the background using the very popular tied together embossing folder. The little silver dots are peel off's. The rest of the card was made using a flower and leaf punch. For the centre of the flowers i used silver card candy. I hope she likes it.

This one was made using Papermania papers from the beautiful range, and it is truly beautiful, such pastel colours, I love it. I also used the Marianne Design Anja square die, which is so pretty. I finished off with a butterfly and some pearls.

I completely lost my Mojo, then my sister asked if i could make an Anniversary card, so hopefully this has kick started it again... Now onto to my card..<div><br /><div> Base card is 7.5 inches square easel, which i then stuck a slightly smaller square of silver mirri card,then a square cut from a Martha Stewart PATP, then the final square which i embossed with Tied Together embossing folder from Couture Creations. I decorated the embossed part with some some silver sticky back blobs (Haven't a clue what they are called). I done the sentiment on the PC and cut this out with a Nellies heart die. Added roses from Wild Orchids and a few silver punched out leaves. I tied a white bow to use as the stopper and added a few gems to decorate. The inside has been decorated the same.

OMG, although this looks a quick and easy card, because it is out of my comfort zone it took me forever. I just can't get me head around what embellishments to use and how to work out the layout. I used a LOTV image, Papermania capsule linen paper a Prima flower and Marianne leaves and corner die. The butterfly is cut from a Hobbycraft punch.

The flower is by Prima, which matches the paper perfectly. I finished off with a couple of stick pins and pearls. Hope you like it.

I printed the digi and stuck it to a strip of American card-stock in lilac. I coloured the flower with a promarker to match, a few scored lines and pearls were added to finish. Very simple but i really like it.

I used a 6 inch browny green card blank, to which i matted some stamping up paper, then a square of cream card which was punched using a Martha Stewart set. I made the rosette by scoring a 12 " strip of paper at 1cm intervals then concertinaing it, joined the ends to form the rosette. I used a large rose from my stash. I used some die cut leaves given to me which i inked with Tim Holtz old paper distress ink. I punch a couple of butterflies and added some glitter to make them twinkle.

The 4 corners are raised with foam pads. i used a Nestie die for the next layer which i also inked before taking the cardstock from the die to achieve a nice clean boarder. I hand cut 2 flower shapes and adhered a pretty paper rose to the centre. I punched 4 small butterflies with a hobby craft punch which i decorated with pearls.

I attached it to a piece of American cardstock, tied a piece of organze ribbon into a bow and attached a slider. A simple greeting with a pearl added and this is the result. I just love the pastel colours, very me, lol TFL xx </div>Shazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05945208170379120247noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589408259514750614.post-21465229570971016782012-03-17T22:16:00.002+00:002012-03-17T22:25:21.168+00:00Framelits Easel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtqls-Amm941R1qZfHVWXY16lEXZyTSHPVsQ9Hz_XVqm4L2vq7-ag8IU8Q7fEXdu0Y_g0brzQFjO3O6RpW5hfwIq9mUXASnf7Fnvqe3_-UjFKrc8PHcnG2CqsXpI7WZJ0SPxk5AI3A0Fa0/s1600/DSCF0478.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720995697262200114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtqls-Amm941R1qZfHVWXY16lEXZyTSHPVsQ9Hz_XVqm4L2vq7-ag8IU8Q7fEXdu0Y_g0brzQFjO3O6RpW5hfwIq9mUXASnf7Fnvqe3_-UjFKrc8PHcnG2CqsXpI7WZJ0SPxk5AI3A0Fa0/s320/DSCF0478.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Thought i would use a different colour for this card, i'm getting in a bit of a rut with all the pastel cards i make. For this card i used a sizzix framelits set for the flowers. In the set you get the stamps and the dies, great value. The sentiment is computer generated using Scriptina and a dingbat font , both of which i downloaded from dafont. I finished off with a bow and some pearls. Hope you like.
