Some Utility Cards!

Just some utility cards to share.  How is it you've never got the right card in your card box?  I needed a manly 'Get Well Soon' card and a 'New Baby Girl' card.  What did I have in my cardbox, a girlie Get Well Soon card and a New Baby Boy card.   So I've spent the morning making these.

Now I can't take a bit of credit for this cute little pram card I've completely copied the idea from Katie, my  Pink Petticoat team mate.  Katie makes such beautiful and original cards her blog is well worth a visit.

Playing with Shimmer Sprays

And now for something completely different...  I had to make a dreaded 'man' card and was inspired to get out the mists by the challenge over at Moxie Fab World - Stamping with Shimmer Sprays  .  There's lots of lovely inspiraiton over there, be sure to take a look.

It's fun to try a new technique now and again.  Tfl :)

Shimmer Spray: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Patina)

City Crafter Challenge Week #46

Here's a tag and gift pocket card I made with the Pink Petticoat Material Girl set. 
I used the Organics Kraft Paper pack printed on to 300gsm white card to make the pocket. 
What I like best about the printable 'kraft' is that you can achieve a shabby white painted edge look so easily, by just sanding the edges to reveal the white core.

I'm entering it for the current challenge 'Spring Fling' over at City Crafter Challenge .  They're asking us to use spring colours and there's this lovely photo for inspiration.

What better time than Spring to start sewing!
