Congratulations ...

Time for another challenge at

A Little Bit Crafty and this month the challenge is 'The Birds & the Bees'

I do hope you can come and play along with us for the chance to win some goodies?

I have used the gorgeous new kit from Nitwit Collections and this one is called 

'Daffodil Joy' and it is so pretty.

This may look like an ordinary card on the front but I have put an acetate spiral inside

for the bees to buzz from flower to hive, loving this technique, never tried it before.

I have also used Kraft, stamp, Promarkers, glossy accents for the honey, flowers, buttons & pearls.

Hand stitched and the sentiment is CG.  All shapes, matting & layering including the acetate spiral & bee 

were completed on my Silhouette.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Time to Craft - Beary Nice (I Won Top 3)!

Happy crafting, love

Toot - Toot ...

Today I wanted to share my first ever 3D box card and the new kit just released from 

Nitwit Collections

Couldn't wait to use it and in fact purchased the stamp especially to make this card!

It is hard to make cards for the men in our lives and this kit has plenty of gorgeous papers

and elements to work with and I just fell in love with the 'tie bunting', now why didn't I think of that!

And a picture of the back, folds flat for posting.

The card template is from the Silhouette online store from the fabulous Lori Whitlock which 

I have adapted to suit my stamp.  Hand stitched, some gems, ribbon, charm, puff paint, 

buttons & screw brads.

Definitely loving this style of card, so effective don't you think?

I have used heart die, tag die, papers, butterfly, buttons, flowers, blackberries,

bells, ribbon and sentiment tags which I have since, well along time so no link sorry.

Surprise ...

Thoroughly enjoyed making this box frame from start to finish and it totally worked out how I planned.

I have made this for the midway reminder for A Little Bit Crafty 

and our challenge this month is titled 'Are we there yet'?

I have made the box frame on my Silhouette, distressed with Gesso

and then stamped some postage marks onto it.  Made some extra flaps and then ribbled.

Stenciled the 'this way up', added some bunting & bells.

Some white washi tape, twine, buttons, paperclip, decoupaged image along with

some glossy accents for the windscreen. I could not find any tiny

colouring pencils, you know the party bag filler type so I dug out my quilling

tools and made them, I love them.

I totally love my dice too, what do you think?

Anyways enough of my showing off, I hope I have inspired you to play along with us

Card base was cut with a scalloped die and folded in half using some card from my stash.

Birthday Boy ...

Here is some more inspiration for our challenge at

A Little Bit Crafty which for the month of February

is titled 'Man Up'.  Really pleased with how this turned out, Edwin came to me this

Christmas and I have used another Wobble Spring for the football for some movement.

This card is for my Son, grown up now but loves his football.

The papers are once again from Nitwit Collections

I have used ribbon, netting, gems, turf.  Hand stitched complete

with football corners.  Coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment  

was made on my Silhouette.

Why not come and play along with us, we do neglect the boys in card making

and I know it is hard to make for them but if you play along with us that will be another

card off the list!
