Using Brads or Eyelets

Jane has asked us to use brads or eyelets on our cards for the challenge that starts today at Cardz for Guyz. I have loads of these and hardly ever use them so had a rummage to see what I had and found these sweet Woodware baby feet.

The design is VERY cas and is a case of a lovely Christmas card I received from Chrissie. Hope you dont mind Chrissie. All I need now is someone to have a baby boy!

Ill be interested to see what you all come up with.

Oh! Pretty Baby

I seem to have got stuck in a rut of making basic shape cards. So I was determined to do something different for the new challenhe at Cardz for Galz, which is Oh Pretty Baby.

I used the presscut dieto cut the card blank and the layers, it makes it so much easier! The small images are from a retired SU set which has gor matchine dies but I fussy cut them as I made the card up at a card club meeting. The letters are some very old Quickutz dies. Ppaer and card are also SU from my stash. Although the challenge is for a girl, I think the card is actually fairly gender free!

Do check out the rest of the DT's makes.

Tiny fingers and toes

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Cardz for Guyz. This time  we are looking for Tiny Fingers. And Toes. But do remember it is for a male card!


Recently my neighbours had twin boys and I made this card for them. I had no stamps that mentioned twins so I went with the sentiment from a SU set instead. The little suits are also a SU stamp and die set, now retired. Everything except the card base was snippets so I'm also popping over to the Playground. I've been MIA over there for a while.

Furry Friends!

Furry friends is the theme this week at Cardz 4 Guyz so it was the perfect excuse to use my NBUS stamp from SU - Baby Bear. It is a three part stamp which gives that lovely furry look to him.


I stamped him in Sahara Sand, Tip Top taupe and Soft Suede.The fancy mat is an old Spellbinders die and the backing paper is from Little Claire. The bow ia a ready made one that I found in my ribbon box, and I added some stars for extra interest. I made it into a new baby card as my neighbour's daughter is expecting her first baby soon. I already have a baby girl card in my stash so added a baby boy one so that I am ready when baby arrives!

I was delighted to see that I had been picked as one of the Top 3 last week! Thanks ladies!

Less is More - New baby card

Wonders will never cease! Two posts in one day from me! The reason is Roy went out with some former work colleagues so I had a whole FOUR hours to myself!!!

The theme this week at Less is More is to leave plenty of "white Space" but not white! I have a number of coloured card blanks, bought many years ago when I first started cardmaking, that are now sitting unloved at the botom of my card blank box, so a perfect opportunity to use one!
I diecut the little suit from some dsp and hand drew the seam lines then diecut the hanger.  Very simple card but I rather like it. No new babies to give it to though so it will go into my box of cards - just in case! I'd better make a blue one as well!

Two by Two

My partner's niece is expecting her second baby anytime now so thought I'd get a bit ahead and make a new baby card ready. As I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl I decided to make a gender neutral card.  I also wanted to use the Two by Two stamp I bought  as I think it is perfect for this and sadly I hadn't used it before it retired. In fact apart from the ribbon everything I've used is retired!!

Now that it's finished it doesn't seem to be gender neutral as I think there is too much blue - so maybe she'd better have a boy! The paper came out of my snippets box so I'm going to pop over to the Playground to see what's been going on while I've been away!

Baby Boy Card

Well I haven't done much card making lately as I have been planning a move into spare room with craft stuff so that I can reclaim the dining room! Nearly got it all sorted now and I must say I feel much happier crafting up here than I did downstairs. I've made some ore Christmas cards but haven't photographed them yet.


I was asked last night to make a new baby card for today! So here's the result. I've used a pale blue A6 card and layered torn vellum edged with a Brilliance blue inkpad, silver card, blue satin ribbon and a silver embossed stamp on it. The stamp is one I've had for a while which came in ast from Kodomo.
