Oh What A Night!

Good Morning all! I hope you're well! 

Unlike the young lady featured on my card today! Lol

This is a card I made  while back but didn't blog right away as the person

it was for hadn't recieved it yet!

The image is by La Pashe. It's decoupaged, but it's difficult to see in the photos.

 The papers are from Lidl, the ribbon & sequins are from my stash.

I inked the edges of the papers with a liquid chalk inkpad.

The glittery 50 is from my stash too! I think it's papermania.

As you can just about see, the inside of the card is decorated too!

Thanks for looking in today, I hope you like my card!

Good morning all!

I have a card to share with you today!

This one was made for my brother's birthday!

It's been kicking about as a draft post on my blog for ages, so I

thought I'd best share it with you now!

I used the Papermania Heritage Press City Gent collection to make my nice & simple

A5 gatefold card. The decoupage was layered up with foam pads.

A bit of matting & layering with the papers & a couple of buttons to embellish.

I added a couple of buttons & an eyelet to the sentiment tab.

On the inside I added a die cut tag with a little a

La Pashe Easy Peely Short n Sweet Verse 

I couldn't get the card to lay flat on it's own, so I popped 

a paperclip on it to keep it in place!

Thanks for popping in today, I hope you like my little card!

The Big One

Good morning all!

I've got a card to share with you today!

To quote a friend.....

SNEAK PEEK ALERT
La Pashe are back on C & C on Monday with a 4 day deal featuring

 "The Big One" CD-ROM Volumes 1 & 2.

"The Big One was a limited edition compilation CD of the best of La Pashe 2008-2011,

released five years ago, but people still ask about it now, so, La Pashe thought they would 

re-release it, along with a second volume featuring everything they have done in 2012-2014.

Thanks Sharon, you put it beautifully!

Now, here's sneak peek of one of my samples!

Nice & Easel Nasturtium & Bee

I simply used a 6"x 6" card base edged with a Martha Stewart border punch

Then added the decoupage. The sentiment panel is mounted on some cs which was punched, 

wrapped with gingham ribbon, from my stash, tied in a double bow, 

then raised on foam tape to act as the stop for the easel section.

Nice & Easel indeed!

Tune in next week to see Bailey presenting The Big One on Create & Craft TV.

Good Morning all!

This week is just whizzing by!

I've been getting ready for a little crafty sale so have been caught up making bits & pieces

as well as the usual stuff. Been busy at work too, so I'll be glad 

when the weekend is here!

Anyhoo, here's the card I have to share today!

This is an 8"x8" square base with decoupage, sentiment & design paper from 

The Gift Of Christmas CD Rom by La Pashe.

These are great to cut out & make up & there is also a smaller image on the

sheet, which I used to make a little card, but could be used for a matching gift tag etc!

Not too much to say about this one really, 

A doily, some matting & layering, a double ribbon bow & a little jingle bell hey presto!

You could add some glitter to jazz it up but I love it just as it is!

A little side view which I hoped would show the dimenson of the decoupage

but I'm not sure it does!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card.

Parrot Pals

Good morning all!

I'm back with another sample I made for today's launch of the new

La Pashe CD Rom "The PetSet" On Create & Craft TV

This is "Parrot Pals"

! I love the gorgeous bright colours of these feathered friends.

The grey reminds me of a friends African Grey, called "Bird" who loved 

to eat M&M's from a bowl. He was a corker!

My card is an 8x8 inch base with a bit of matting & layering of plain paper

as well as the patterened papers which are also on the CD Rom.

I used an Xcut punch for the decorative border.

I added some beaded ribbon down one side, this is from Lidl & was originally 

meant for gift wrapping. I love the different strands & I'm sure if the birds 

were real, they'd love playing with the beads! Lol

To further embellish, I cut some of thefeathers from the DP, feathered 

the edges & attached with some pinfflair glue for dimension.

The sentiment was trimmed, the corners punched & then mounted on a 

Spellbinders speech bubble die cut.

I think you can just about see the dimension in this photo!

So, don't forget to tune in to see the launch of the

"Pet Set" CD Rom on

from the new  La Pashe CD Rom "The Pet Set" .

I made a twisted easel card using the decoupage & matching papers.

A bit of matting & layering, some tiny knitting & a few buttons to embellish!

(The base card is 8x8inch) 

You can just about see a bit of the dimension here in the side view

Sneak Peek Time

Morning all, have you heard there's a new CD about to be launched by 

La Pashe!? It's called "The Pet Set"

I was lucky enough to be asked to make some samples for the launch,

using some of the decoupage sheets

Here's one of them

This is called Team work. 

The gorgeous background papers are from the CD too.

The CD has lots of cats, dogs, horses and even some birds, due to popular demand!

I made asimple little card with the addition of some Jute Ribbon & a couple of buttons.

The card base is a bit bigger than A5 just to give you an idea of scale.

(I do apologise about the photo quality but the weather was 

rubbish & I was keen to get these posted off)

You can just about see the dimension in this photo!

As always, the decoupage is a dream to cut out.

Hi everyone, happy Thursday!

It's been a busy week. I had intended to share this card 

sooner but hey ho, here we are now!

This gorgeous snowman is from

The Gift Of Christmas CD Rom by La Pashe

I love snowmen & this little guy has to be one of my fave's

I wonder what he's singing? I'm guessing it's "The Holly & The Ivy"

The papers are from the CD too.

The base card is 8"x8" square. I added a doily, some red & white ribbon,

 a big green button, a few die cut & punched snowflakes & some 

little red gems to embellish.

The decoupage is easy to cut out & layer up.

A little side view to show the dimension.

I like to keep these cards fairly simple as the images speak for themselves

& have lots of interesting little details to them!

Hope you like it!

Grease Is The Word!

Good morning all! 

The weekend is nearly here...... hurrah!

I have another card to share with you today!

It's another fun Anniversary card from the La Pashe

"Wrinklies At The Movies"

You've probably guessed the movie they're at already but if not, it's

Grease! It's brilliant isn't it!

The card is an 8"x8" base.

The patterned paper is from La Pashe too.

I matted it on to some black card & added some Papermania black spotty brads to the corners.

I then made a smaller panel to which I added some black lace & some smaller silver brads.
(I've had the brads in my stash forever)

I then matted & layered the decoupaged image on to some

red & black cardstock before adding to the card at an angle.

The sentiment was matted on to some black card & mounted on foam

tape at one end & DST on the other to allow it to be curved.

Inside the card, I added a mat of black card, to keep everything stable.

I also added a red diecut heart & a smaller white one on which to write a message.

Thanks for popping in, I do love a little visit!

Hope you like my card!

Good morning all!

The card I have to share with you today is the last of the samples I made for

the launch of the La Pashe

Wrinklies at the Movies CD Rom the other week!

The movie is The Sheik!

The card is an 8"x8" base.

The paper is from the CD also.

I cut out the decoupage & layered up using pinflair glue

The matted on to some white card stock

I felt I had to give them a little privacy, so I added some sheer fabric

drapes to my simple card design. I embellished with a few gems here & there,

a couple of little ribbon tie backs and that was pretty much that!

The designs are so great, they really just stand alone & you don't need much

in the way of fancy equipment to make great cards!

I took the photo then realised that a little of the frayed fabric edge had escaped as I

stuck it down. I used a heat source to seal the edge & stop it fraying any further.

Thanks for stopping by, I do hope you like my card.

I used black card stock for the base & plain red paper to matt & layer.

The border was punched with an EK Success punch.

I used the sentiment as the stop for the easel section.

Added some ribbon & lace from my stash & a few die cut words.

Good morning all!

It's a beautiful start to Sunday here, the sun is shining & it looks 

like it's going to stay that way!

Here's todays little card!

It's another sneek peak at the samples I made using the

Wrinklies At The Movies CD rom

.My card is 8"x8"

I added a matt of plain black paper under the design  paper.

I then added some lace, black satin ribbon & sheer white ribbon.

I die cut a scalloped circle from plain black paper using a spellbinders die 

then topped that with a little doily. 

The decoupaged image was matted on to the black paper too!

I placed the image at a jaunty angle & added the sentiment above, using varying

depths of foam pads. The final additions were a feather, a triple bow & a little

black heart embellishment. The ribbon, feather & heart were all from

 Lelli-Bot Crafts
