Cascading Vintage Card Tutorial

At last I've made up a proper Tutorial for the Cascading Card.

This has taken me ages to make this up, so please let me know your comments and thoughts.
Now I've just got to tackle the video Tutorial which I keep putting off as I'm quite scared at the prospect of trying something new!
I hope you like the Tutorial.

Happy 90th Birthday... another Cascading Card

We are back in South Shields today for my Auntie Ethel's 90th Birthday. No-one would ever guess her age as she looks young and has so much energy.  She does far better than me LOl!  Here is the card I made for her birthday.  I really like this style and I've decided to do this one for my Shoe Box Swap at our Tartan Stampers Mini Convention next week in Glasgow. I hope you like it.  Have a great day!

This was made using Very Vanilla, Soft Suede and DSP First Edition Speciality.  I've also used my favourite Everything Eleanor Stamp set and the Fun Flowers die.  Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day

Hi there. I thought I would share with you the Mother's Day cards I made for both my Mother and Mother In Law.

The back view

The squeeze/cascading vintage cards were made using an A4 sheet of Very Vanilla card, matted with Soft Suede and First Edition Speciality Designer Series Paper. I used the Large En Francais (109521) stamp for the background The wonderfully versatile Everything Eleanor Stamp set was used for the decorations, along with  an Antique Brad (117273) and the bow was made with Victoria Crochet Trim (118481).  Although I've added too many embellishments, I really like the basis of the card.  Have a good day.

Backpack gift bag

Good morning. Well did you all enjoy your pancakes yesterday, because my family certainly did. I cooked hundreds (big exaggeration, I know!!), but they kept asking for more.
Anyway, down to business. I was busy the other day and had a practice attempt at making this backpack gift Bag. It needs improving, I know, but this was my first attempt (excuses! LOL!).

This was made using Pacific Point and Pool Party (I know - Pool Party AGAIN!.It was stamped with VersaMark Ink and the medium flower from the stunning Everything Eleanor Stamp Set. The Rhinestone brads add some bling for the fasteners.

Hopefully we can meet tomorrow again!
