what an explosion!!!

my friend asked me to make an exploding box for her mum with autumn colours

soooo

I have used all the flowers from flower pack at  Daisy Doodles store - plus there are loads more in the set I haven't used yet - watch this space!!!

I printed them all onto different coloured card and layered them, then added gems and in the centre box is hand made spotty paper and on the top too, but the bottom now has a verse on it too - finally there will be a cupcake inside it but not until its sent

the flowers on the top again were printed from the pack and then shaped before layering

finally the card around the edge has been shaped with a martha stewart punch and some gold shiny ribbon added to finish off

I am going to enter my exploding box in the challenges at

a spoonful of sugar - lets get punchy

country christmas

sometimes I do get some very odd requests for cards

this one was

I  want a christmas card, for my parents who like countryside and shooting????

this really got my brain going

and in the end decided to do a search on google to find an image as I was stuck

I layered red, gold and patterened (free with a mag) papers

then made some holly with my cricut and added some bling and made it a bit more special by turning it into an easel card

the design is from the challenge at crafty creations

I also want to add it to the challenges at

cute card Thursday - home made embellies

polka doodle - also home made embellies

craftalicious - anything goes

paper sundaes - change of season

am actually quite pleased with how it turned out, looks really much better in the flesh!!

something to celebrate

what a lovely way to celebrate!! by having a baby lol

so I used my magnolia little horsie, its so sweet, coloured with promarkers and added a bit of glitter with the sakura pens and even did some fancy folding (not actually sure of the name of this folding technique)

got some new card candy this week too so used those on 3 of the corners and put all the bits together on some ff backing paper, the sentiment is done on the pc

so thought I would enter the challenges at

ff decorating

well I havent left the planet, have just been so busy this week

so thought I had better show off what I have been making

so heres a tunnel card I think thats what they are called, quite simple to make but is a bit of a pain to get the apperture in the right place,

have used ff image off the CD and also the paper is off the CD, and then added some bling, so is really a simple card to be honest, gosh I should have a blog called 'the lazy crafter'

anyway this lazy crafter is going to use this card for the challenges at

polkadoodle blog - fancy or interesting fold

paper sundaes - something from my stash (my cd)
