Tim Holtz April's tag

This is my take on Tim's tag this month As usual I do not have all the supplies he has to hand, so we all have to make do with what we have. Most months I treat myself to what he uses in the tag, but, with just coming back off our holiday, and spending far too much in Disney, I had to make do. Overall I think I did a good job.

I used the Sizzix Moroccan card front die, I tried to cut the Grungeboard with it, but it wasn't working out, so just used some thin chipboard with distress inks on it. I used the die to cut out the mirror, which was a very thin sheet mirror-card, I had some glitter card, including that too. The cork would have been too thick to used with this thin die. I stamped the background as did not have his tissue tape. I also used my Martha Stewart pine punch, and the Stampin' Up flower die my friend had. So having her cut a few for me, this allowed me to play around with it. I added the little owl charm at the bottom, as I though he was cute. I really love how it turned out.

My Mothers Day gifts

Here is my Mother's Day gifts from my two beautiful and very thoughtful daughters. We just had a lazy day at home as we were still recovering from our hoilday so the girls made me a lovely roast dinner and I was allowed to craft for most of the day. I had a lovely day, thank you girls love you loads. 

Disneyland Paris

Home safe, had an amazing time. Took so many photos, can't wait to start my smash book!

TimsMarch Tag

I have finished Tims March tag

 

I decided to make two tags to show the different techniques you can get, but I must say that I like the first one much better. I used Tim's stamp set that I purchased as I love it and I thought I can get some use from it for making my Easter cards. I just used some wool that I had for the bottom edge. Also, I made my own bookplate as I did not have Tim's one. I did not have the tape that Tim used either, so I stamped onto some tissue paper cut it up into strip and glued it on , I really like how it turned out. March is done, onto Aprils!

Happy crafting!

My Mums Birthday card

I have finished my mums birthday card. I had made this card at my stampin up craft club quite a few weeks ago, and I just knew my mum would love it as she loves poppies. I just love the simplisity of the card. 

Also love using the lace with the ribbon on this card. I must do that more often as I think it just looks so nice. All I need to do now is get on and do Tims tag. 

Mother's Day card

I finished my mums' Mother's Day card 

This was a card that I had made at my craft club, a few months ago, it did not have a sentiment on it so just added the Mothers day in peel offs. 

I also added some more on the envelope  just because it makes it pretty. It will be going in a Jiffy bag with her present so I can put the address on there. 

It is my mums birthday the day after Mother's Day so she is going to get spoiled for a few days. 

Stampin up craft club

This is what I made at my Stampin Up craft club. 

We used the new tag punch to make the tags on the card, box and also to make the tag on the card. You have to open the ribbon to see inside the card, just love it. 

The new punch is definitely on my wish list. 

There was chocolate in a little bag in the box but as soon as I got home the chocolates where calling me, but of course I shared them. All the stamping was embossed with gold embossing powder I really liked this card as it was something different. 

Happy crafting.
