A weekend of crafting (mainly Hunkydory)

I really enjoyed starting to craft with my free Hunkydory Flutterby wishes kit, I uploaded the first 2 cards last weekend. My hubby Andy went off to watch truckracing at Thruxton Race Circuit all last weekend, so that left me at home crafting to my hearts content, I made 7 cards in total last Sunday, and still have tons of the kit to use.

these are the 5 cards I made from the kit, 2 birthday cards, 2 anniversary cards and 1 thankyou card.

I also enjoy cutting out decoupage and made these 2 butterfly decoupage cards.

 

a thankyou and a birthday card (both using promarkers)

This week Andy and I went on a mini break to Herefordshire and stayed in a superb 4* farm guesthouse for 2 nights, I took some of the dfonated stamped images and enjoyed sitting on the bed in the early evenings colouring with my new promarkers which I just LOVE and can't wait to add more colours to my collection. this first phot ws taken at a superb pub where we had dinner on Tuesday evening.

This 2nd photo was taken just before we left the guest house to come home on Wednesday morning.

The first card I made was for our church admin manager Mike who has been arranging for homemade evening meals to be brought round to us til I'm well enouight to prepare evening meals myself, either cooked by himself or from other memebers at church who know us, all have been yummy, I gave him this card card and told him  I tried not to make it too girly, to which he replied humourously "I'm in touch with my feminine side!"

6" scalloped card and floral paper edged with TH shabby shutters distress ink. donated image coloured with promarkers and embellished with London Line gems, card finished with red card candi, red spotty grosgrain ribbon and printed 3D sentiment. the message on bouquet of flowers says "thanks Mike".

The 2nd card was made for our great-niece Grace's 1st birthday, image coloured Friday evening, card made today.
I used another donated, diecut and embossed LOTV image and coloured it with promarkers, added grosgrain robbon, blue card, and London Line pearls, the paper is from Wild Rose Studio 'In Love with Japan' 6" paper stack, all on my favourtie 6" scalloped edge card base.

3 Anniversary cards, 2 thankyou card and a get well card

I love making anniversary cards for friends on the DOcrafts forum, here are 3 recent cards, all decoupage. One is housemouse decoupage, I love the cute mice and they are such fun cards to make.

                 The gems I used are from Papermania Capsule Collections, all other  elements

are from my stash.

I made these next 2 cards as end of School term thankyou cards on behalf of Carrie. they are both decoupage and feature the Zinnia flower fairy from the Crafters Companion CD rom set.

This last card is a house mouse decouage get well card, made  for the mother of a DOcraft forum friend, who is in hospital.
