Is spring on its way?

I really do hope so... like many of you I have little green shoots coming up in the garden, and even mini daffodils on the window sill in spite of the snow!  So with spring in mind I have created this card in bright and cheery colours. 

The stamp set used is Stampin Up 'Every moment' and comes with a lovely saying "when we see with our hearts, every moment is the most wonderful gift in the world"

The embossing folder is elegant bouquet.. I hope you like it.  Can't believe it is nealry a whole month since my last post.  I promise it won't be so long next time.

......and if you would like to try your hand at stamping I have just the class for you please look at the dates on the side and give me a call or text, I would love to hear from you X x

A Birthday Slice of Cake

It is my grandaughter's birthday tomorrow and I have made her a special card.  It is a double pocket card with a detachable bookmark, as she reads quite alot.  In the pockets I put two little cards for her to go shopping with.  I had great fun putting this together on a beautiful sunny afternoon.  I used the 'Happy Birthday Wishes' stamp from Fun & Fast notes stamp set together with perfect plum cardstock and paper, so saffron card, very vanilla ribbon then used lavender lace scallop circles.  I coloured my cakes using a blender pen and ink pads.

Then to go a step further I found this really easy slice of cake template on LMac's Catered Crops.  I put a lovely little surprise in there too. (I think you could add soooo much more decoration to this.. mine is quite plain and tidy).  Hope you like it.
