Wedding towel cake

I have made this as a present for the wedding we are going to at the weekend. The bottom tier is 2 bath sheets, the middle tier is 2 bath towels and the top tier is 2 hand towels though I had bought flannels to but must have forgotton those lol never mind. Inside is a vase and 2 candles. The blue flowers are coloured with my promarkers as it looked a bit blank with all white flowers against the white towels. Hope the happy couple like it.

Crafty Place August Challenge and Funky Fairys challenge 29

This months challenge over on crafty place was to make a Christmas card without using Gold, Red, or Green and the new funky fairys challenge was to make a christmas card.

I have used papers from Funky Fairys free purple pack, the snowmen are embossed with white glitter powder and coloured using promarkers. The ribbon on the side is to hide that I cut my paper to small and on the other side I had to trim the card back as I tried to glitter the edges but ran out of glitter half way through so wiped it off but it ruined the edge of the paper so had to trim that side of the card off. Don't think it looks to bad cosidering all the things that went wrong.

MSE Christmas card challenge

Here's my entry for the christmas card challenge I found it really hard to make a christmas card in the summer just doesn't seem right. I have used free papers from Raspberry Road Designs for the background and the corners which I cut on my cuttlebug. The image is a stamp from High Hopes and just makes me laugh I thought it was perfect for making a christmas card in the summer. The papers under the image are from my freebie pack from the craft superstore. I used stickles on the

edge of his hat and the bobble and on the umbrella in his drink and on the corners to add a bit of christmassy bling

I've been playing with my new cuttlebug

Well I have embossed everything in site and cut out all my dies had great fun and in the process I made this card for a lady at work who helped me out.

It 's on a white square card blank with the corners rounded, then some pale aqua hammered card then a piece of aqua vellum that I embossed with my paisley folder and then on some more of the hammered card I stamped the thankyou image added a paper flower with a card candy to finish.

Plane card

This card is for an order. The gentleman who's birthday it is used to be a pilot hence the theme.

The writing is heat embosed in silver and I added markings to the plane to turn it into a british airways plane.

Some more cards

This is my favourite card of the 2, I am struggleing to come up with any ideas at the moment nothing looks right to me I keep sitting down to make cards but seem to have run out of ideas.
I used the messy rabbit cd to print off the image on this card and the border on the left. The spotty paper was from drawer of papers I have printed but not used. The ribbon tied around the image was from my stash. The flower is a paper one that I ordered off ebay and the brad has been heat embossed with black glitter.

Although you can't see it in the picture the top brad says Happy and the bottom brad says Birthday I got a pack of these brads in the Range reduced to 49p a couple of weeks ago. I mounted them on holographic card and stuck them with foam pads onto some pink glitter paper and mounted that on some more holographic card.
