Bucket of Roses xx

Well hello my lovelies

I know its been almost a month, but what a month its been!

Firstly I had my little "30th" Birthday heee, spoiled rotten with hubby treating me all day! Then The Sunday I had a little girly Tea Party with lots of yummy cake and bubbly for all plus a spot of craft to get them all eh "pulling their hair out" heee! It was such a perfect wee day and I loved it all! I was spoiled by all my family and friends and I cried so much too

Last weekend was spent in London with my Mummy and Granny as part of my birthday and not only that my BIG brother surprised me with turning up too! What a shock and a fab surprise! We had a great time, lots of laughing and fun, LOADS of walking and I'll never get over my Mum and Gran on the Friday night hee! We also enjoyed a trip to the theatre to see "We Will Rock You", sooooooooo amazing! Plus on the Sunday before going home we had a trip to the zoo hee!

Just the best 30th one could ask for! But it didn't end there, I had one more surprise in my email box

Heeee WOOHOO

Tri-Fold Birthday xx

Good morning everyone

Well sadly this will be my last Design Team post for Clare Curd Crafts, I want to thank everyone for their support and those who left me amazing comments to boost my confidence! And thanks to Clare for giving me the chance!

Now this week I created a lil tri-fold card

I took an A4 sheet of card and folded it twice to form my 3 panels, then taking those delish Fancy Pants What a Wonderful Day Collection, I decorated the panels on the front and the back. I added some ribbon to the panels too

I then took the utterly FAB Little Darlings Saturated Canary images and coloured them with markers, cutting them out and layering on the card with nestie ovals

I decorated the rest of the card with bunting I made from the scraps of the paper and twine for the front adding card candi to each one. Added gems and punched butterflies before finishing with lots of Mulberry Flowers, pins with seed beads and then of course glitter. The back I also added a text panel to write your little message, a birthday verse and then a die-cut butterfly to match everything in

I hope you like my wee creation and give an "oldie but a goody" tri-fold card a try!

Well until next time and thanks again for the support

Its just 2 easy xx

Hi everyone

Sorry for my wee post being a day late, been a hectic week here with all different things plus BIG Birthdays for family and friends!

This week for my Clare Curd post I've created a wee age card for a Special little one

This is how I made this wee quick number card

Using my Silhouette Cameo I drew out a 6x6 card then with the number 2 added it to the right side, fitting it to that half of the card. Then using the "rubber" tool removed all the extra lines adding a punched line to the middle to make it easier to fold. I also cut out another 2 to make the card sturdier

Once cut out I folded in half and stuck on the other white 2

Next I cut out another 2 slightly smaller using my American Craft Shoreline pad

I then stuck this onto the card after outlining with a marker

using some more Shoreline scraps I folding them in half then cut out some little triangles, edging with a marker again before sticking some twine in-between each piece then adding to the card

I finished with some gems, stickles glitter glue and also some letter and star stickers from the Fancy Pants What a Wonderful Day Kit

I hope you will try a number card out and don't forget to share!

Will till next time
