Oops pressed a wrong button.  Here is card #2

 I used the 2nd folder on the packaging that it came in.  The card looks very dark in the photo but looks much nicer in real life.   Both the folders are by Darice  The die-cuts are Memeory Box.   Thanks for visiting and for any comments you leave.   As always they are appreciated.

An early start for me today, it's usually late by the time I get blog-hopping.  Thanks to everyone who left comments last week.  I have 2 cards to post this week.  I used my 2 new embossing folders.

This card is using the embossing folder I spotted on DC on a card by LizH, I just had to have it.   The flowers and gems are from my stash, sorry I can't remember the make of die as I cut the flowers out a while ago.

The end of another hot day and visitors have just left.  Peace at last.  I did manage to make one card before they came so that was good.  I'm just waiting on the sun going down a bit so I can take the dog out for a cool walk.   I've got 2 cards to show you this week.   Both birthday cards.
Image on the 1st card is from the Tom Mielko cd I bought recently,  Background card is from a book of 24 double sided sheets, I can't make out (even with a magnifying glass) who designed it but it appears to have a Tilda logo.  It can make at least 48 cards so feel like I got a bargain. Happy birthday stamped on to green card, lace, roses and bling from my stash.

 Again a sheet from the card backgrounds book die-cuts from majestic squares, image from the web, flowers and bling from stash, greeting computer generated then diecut and coloured with distress ink (worn lipstick).  Thanks for popping by and I hope you are coping with the heat and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

And it's another extremely hot day today, I hope everyone is enjoying it.  Me, I'm staying indoors where it's a bit cooler, not much mind you.  

I made this card using the Josephine Wall cd I got from Joanna Sheen.  Decoupage is not my thing so this is the 1st and last.  I'll just be using the flat images from now on  I hate all that cutting especially all the fiddley bits.

Lace, velvet ribbon and candi from my stash

A very quick good evening to all my craft friends.  I've been at the pc for too long and have set the neck off grrrr!!  So I shall just add my cards and good wishes to you all for a lovely weekend and get busy doing a masculine card for a change.

Not long finished this card for my nephew.  I was trying out my IndigoBlu gilding flakes the other day.  I used  all my silhouette stamps just to see how they would come out..  I only have 2 colours Sheffield Steel and Copper Kettle.   They look brilliant when other people use them but I can't say that I'm that happy with the glue .  I bought them both a year ago and the one that was open has dried out completely even though the tub was closed properly.   Also I don't find the glue washes off the stamps as easy as the hype says it does.  Anyway enough of my moans and now to add the card.  Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
