I am moving to France

I am moving to France on July 4th so I will only post on my French blog from now on (here), which is about all my papercraft projects. Bye.

A long time!

It has been a long time since I posted on this blog! 

I have had kind of a chest infection that took all my energy for about 4 weeks and then with the children on holiday, I haven't had much time for crafting.

I managed to make a Bird House though, all in SU colours and stamps, which I entered in a competition on a French craft website. 

Here are some photos.

Recipe coming soon!

Birthday cards

Yesterday, my sons were invited to a double birthday party.
I usually don't make children's birthday cards (except for my boys) as there are far too many parties during the year, but seeing the price of cards in shops I though I would give it a go and I am quite pleased with the results.
More over, any savings on cards can go towards buying more craft supplies!

Here is a boy's card.

Recipe :

Stamps : none, but any Happy Birthday stamp can be used

Cardstock : Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Basic Black

Inks : Old Olive, Only Orange, Certainly Celery

Accessories : brad, bone folder, sponge dauber.

From personal supplies : green glaze pen, black glaze pen, biro pen, white glaze pen, metallic silver pen.

 

And now a girl's card.

Recipe :

Stamps : SAB Vintage Labels, Simply Said

Cardstock : Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Pink Passion

DSP : Tea Party

Inks : Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink

Accessories : bone folder, dimensionals, sponge dauber.

Happy Birthday Elias

My little boy is 5 today! 

He is so excited about it, he is a big boy now! And he can't wait to eat his Star Wars Birthday cake!

Here is the card I made for him.

When you pull the tab, it opens at the top and bottom.
