March Card and craft makes

Hi everyone, So last time I shared my cards I made over February.

I really wanted to do the same for March.


Birthday Card 

I printed this sheet years ago and could not think what to make out of it. 

This Came from My craft Studio Package and I detailed the flowers by using flower soft to give it texture. 

I do apologise the camera was not great that day so the detail is not clear. 


Mothers Day Makes

So last year, my mothers day gifts were bag charms with fairies. I wanted to do something a little different yet still hand made.

I studies load and loads of you tub videos on how to make chocolates from moulds. My mum is a diabetic and cant have  lot treats due to strict diet. So I bought some special diabetic chocolate on line and made these just for her. I had so much FUN!!!!!😊 make them. 

I made the box to go with the chocolates using my ultimate tool. and used some of my free papers I have stashed away to make my lid. 

Mothers day Cards 

I do love stamping and I felt that I don't play with my stamps and inks enough. For these cards I experimented with masking and used one of my larger stamps and multi ink pads and stamped around a piece of white card. I then die cut some butterfly shapes to make my cluster embellishments. 

That's all my cards for March. I do hope you like my creations. Have a lovely day and happy crafting guys. 

How I've Grown

Hi All 

Hope you are all well? 

Strange yet interesting thing happened yesterday. I was scrolling through my old cards that I have taken pictures of and noticed my crafting has changed and become better with age. 

I started making cards back in 2008. It was my mother in law who introduced me to crafting really. She has her own craft space and made cards before I knew her and she let me go in there to make cards for family.

I started to get the bug and got a few things by myself and borrowed bit from her room if I could not find what I was looking for.  

Looking at my history, my first card I made was for mothers day's in March 2008 so here it is. 

My first card ever back in 2008

I did laugh at my self as it shows that I knew nothing about crafting and in crafting terms such a child at the start.

8 years later and this is what I have my mother in law and my mum for mothers day.

Mothers Day Card 2016

My Jewelry has had the same experience.

I made all these when I was in class for making custom jewelry in 2008.

Now a days I watch a lot of videos and read what others are making. But when I do make pieces they look like this. 

Self evaluation...

I have grown up in my crafting and I am so proud with myself as 8 years ago I did not believe in myself and getting praise for my work still shocks me. 

I have been very busy this week and I cant wait to show you all in the next few days. 

enjoy your Sunday.
