Hi all
Here is an idea for a mothers day card.... (Mothers day NZ and Aussy - 12 May)
The torquise flowers are hand made by me with fiskars tools: scissors, embossing stylus.
I drew on the leaves with a copic marker brush end.

Hi all
St Patricks day is on the 17th of this month.
So here is a card to inspire you... (yes its pictured on our banner for this month)
I used my Funky Heart punch to make the clover.
and scissors to cut the steam.
I finished the clover off by drawing with a green copic marker.

I love making personalised cards for birthdays and when I can, I try to include their favourite colour/s.
I was very lucky to find that Kaisercraft had a stack called Fairy Tales that captured Caitlin's colour request perfectly.
I had already decided that I wanted to make a mis-matched banner, so out came all my essential tools ... just realised that my handy dandy circle Plier Punch missed being part of the photoshoot!
Everything came together and the result is Caitlin's 8th birthday card
The banner base is purple beading wire and I twisted some purple metallic thread around it, so that there is a little bit of sparkle in the gaps.
The "8" is from a pack of American Crafts DIY Thickers - you just peel off the top and apply glitter to suit your project. I was tempted to put purple or aqua but crystal clear won out as I think the little bit of white helps balance the colours.
I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to adhere most of the layers and Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to make different parts of the banner sit at different heights.
Hope you have a crafty day,
Tracy :)
PS - if you are interested in the Fiskars tools used, they are 12x12 Self Healing Craft Mat, Finger Tip Craft Knife, Micro-Tip Scissors, Ovals Shape Template, Circle Plier Punch and LOTS of squeeze punches - Jenni Bowlin Banners Away, XL & L Cameo Appearance (scalloped oval), XL & L Tag You're It, Jenni Bowlin Blue Ribbon and last but definitely not least, L One Way (arrow, to cut out the points of the tag banner bits).

By now you know that I love giving out random pressies to the ladies at church and this week was no exeception.
I found a great tutorial on how to make a card purse on line (via Pinterest) and decided to give it a go.
Click here to go to the tutorial
Here is what I made from that tutorial.... I love learning from others, new ways to do things. I'm constantly watching tutorials on you tube and looking at crafters blogs. It helps keep me fresh and my mojo doesn't go on holiday.
The base of my purse outside was cereal boxes instead of chipboard. Basically the same thing anyway. ;)
The green cardstock is from Stampin Up!
The patterned papers are from Wherehouse Stationery - Grace Taylor vintage elegance scrapbook kit.
My own handmade pink/white tissue paper twine. My Tutorial vid is here.
The fiskars tools used:
with "Ivy League" cartridge

Hi all
decided to do another heart card... not sure which to give my hubby yet but he has seen both. This one and the previous one I posted..... No I haven't got a bit on the side to give the other one too! LOL
I used a plain red cardstock for the front of this card and used the heart template for a cut out and a stick on heart effect.
Oh the red cardstock is sponged using my hand made stencil I made with my Fiskars fingertip craft knife and some plastic packaging.
The orginal posts to making plastic packaging stencils are on my personal blog...
