Awwh he remembered

 

Half an hour before I left work today this gorgeous gift arrived!  What a lovely surprise, I am a very lucky girlie.  Now pondering how to get them into a vase without ruining the beautiful arrangement.  Maybe a glass or two of the bubbly will help me!

Hope you are all having lovely evenings whether with your partners or just chilling with your fave choccies and tv programmes, enjoy. xx

Valentines Card

Another Valentine make, this time a card.

A6 gold pearlised card from my stash.  Have these for Xmas but they work well with the pink and green.  Cut a strip of paper from a K & Company classic 6x6 pad.   Printed the sentiment on cream cardstock and edged round it with a sharpie pen.

 Added a brown button brad from my stash.  The love square was done using clipart and then layering the text over the top using Angelina, a favourite font of mine.

And there you have it, one simple not too girly valentines card.

Hope you like it!

Valentines Gift Certificates

Morning everyone, hope you are having a lovely Valentines Day!  Now my pressies have been given I can share a gift booklet I made with you all.

I designed a certificate in Powerpoint a bit like a fancy cheque book.  Each cheque entitled the bearer to a treat which he would get if he cashed that cheque in!  Just a bit of fun and no cost involved but my time, so a nice thrifty gift.

The cover was made with some heavyweight cardstock, punched holes using my Crop o Dile Big Bite and threaded some garden string I had to bind it all together.  The cheques are also perforated so they tear out just like the real thing!

Heart stamp was picked up in a bargain bin a while ago and was perfect for the front cover.  Stamped with Versa Magic Cloud White chalk ink.

Off to Abba World soon, I'll be sure to post all about it. Thanks for popping by. x

My Niece has gotten all crafty

Had some crafty time with my neice today which was lovely. It is her second valentines day with her boyfriend and she wanted to make him a card. She came round with her own red and black cardstock as she knows my stash is limited in these colours! I must rectify that soon.

She had a clear idea on what she wanted to do so I just helped her along with using the paper trimmers and nestibilities and this is what she came up with! She even made a matching gift tag for his pressie. I think she did very well don't you.

Let's hope he has got her an equally gorgeous card or there'll be trouble ;o)

Pink Petticoat - Blog Candy

The lovely Liz is giving away some beautiful Martha Stewart ribbons over on Pink Petticoat so I just had to enter. The challenge was to use her background papers and alter them in some way. My card below uses the following:

• Big Dots Negative in Cranberry
  
• Big Dots Negative in Mocha
• Valentines background paper
• Pink Ribbon
• Sakura Stardust Pens
• Clear Glitter Glue
  

I opened the papers in Paint and then transferred into MS Powerpoint to make my background paper. I drew my own heart with sentiment on using Powerpoint tools. Once printed I just added a lovely pink bow, pink jewel heart and added glitter highlights around the heart, lines and dots.

And this is how it ended up!!

The glitter effect is really hard to capture on camera but it is there!

What do you think?
