Step Card for Jack

Good evening everyone, hope you are all well and not too wet after all the rain we have had.  Hopefully it's going to brighten up a bit towards weekend, so the forecasters say .............. hmm........ well we shall see!

Seems ages since I last blogged, probably because it is ... lol.... !!!  So much going on at home at the moment, time just slips away and before you know it the weekend is creeping up again.

Well onto this card I made for a friend of ours who has just given birth to a baby boy. I have been itching to use these scallop step cards since I got them from Which Crafts and boy did I have fun making this one!  The cute images are Elines Babies Itty Bitty Nursery from Cuddly Buddly. The paper is from my stash, sentiment done on PC and letters done on Cuttlebug.

I am entering this card in the Fun with Shapes and More Challenge #83 and the theme this week is 'Congratulations'

Apologies for the poor quality of photos, not much sunshine here in Cheshire today!  Well thats all from me for today, thanks for stopping by.

Hugs

Rosie with Presents

I intended to post this card last night, but I started fiddling around with my blog background and got myself in a right old pickle!! I decided to have a change so browsed around, as you do, I won't bore you with the details but the upshot was I lost my fonts, colours, everything, it looked a right mess!! Anyway, I just kept pressing buttons and hoping for the best and by some sort of miracle managed to get where I wanted to!! Everything looked fine and dandy except my fonts, there were all sorts of a mixture! I have to give a great big 'thank you' to Marie (Cardmaking Bird) ~ she very kidnly left me a comment and easy instructions and it all worked perfectly, phew!! Blogging buddies really are the best!!

Well onto this card, I love side steppers, it just takes me ages to figure em out! I always do a practice run with scrap paper first, otherwise I waste such a lot of my precious card, does anyone else do this?

The recipient of this card is a friend's daughter who is very girly and I know she will be thrilled with it, especially with her name on it, I think kids always like to see their name on a card, don't you? The image is of course Lili of the Valley ~ Rosie with Presents, she is coloured with Promarkers. Sentiment is also LOTV, the lovely paper is Eline's Huis 'In The Meadow' and the swirls are a Sizzix die. Lots of glitz with Stickles Star Dust.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for dropping by!

Fairy Step Birthday

It's my granddaughter Abbie's 13th birthday today and this is the card I made for her. The images are a freebie from a magazine, coloured with Promarkers. Pink Bazill base card which has been stamped with Versamark and Glamour Dust on the fairy wings.

I am quite pleased with this card, I love the simplicity of it, hope Abbie likes it too, I'm sure she will!

Christmas Step Card

I am really into these step cards at the moment and this is one I created by just playing around with different sizes of card and folding into different shapes. The cute stamps are Ollyfant and you can't see it on the photo but I have added some glitter chalk to the background. At the moment I am trying to make as many Christmas cards as I can, I will post some more soon, so watch this space!
