Get Well Soon...Sarn

Hi ladies and fellow crafters
Well... now that she has finally received it, I can show you a card that I made for my good friend Sarn, that I posted to her via snail mail recently. And... it really was SNAIL MAIL (I posted it on Friday and it arrived today...why the hell do we spend the extra cash on First Class postage when it still takes the same amount of time as SECOND class postage??? AND... how long WOULD it have taken if I had posted it SECOND CLASS???)

When I text her last week she said that she was feeling a little under the weather and a bit poorly (sniffles and flu like symptoms) so I thought I would send her a goody package to cheer her up.  I sent her some clear stamps that were really cute and came as a freebie with my Card Making & Papercraft magazine (I had two copies) and I enclosed the magazine also together with a variety of sweeties.

Here's the card I made for her...

Sarn text me about an hour or two ago to say that the package had arrived and that it had definitely put a smile on her face (and cheered her up). Ahhh, I'm really glad Sarn. Glad I made you forget your cold, for a little while anyway.

Sending hugs to anyone who is feeling poorly today, yesterday or tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Fae xxx

Get well soon K-Bo

Hi everyone
I made this card this morning for my good friend Kathy, who is going into hospital tomorrow to have a carpel tunnel operation on her wrist. She has already had the left wrist done iny August/September and now she is going back to have the right wrist done. Hope everything goes well for you Kathy and that we'll see you back at work sometime soon.

I made the card using my Woodland Friends stamp sets from Docrafts. I chose my stamp and stamped it onto watercolour card as I wanted some nice textured card.  I then added colour with my promarker pens and added just a little touch of my dotty background and some glitter. The closeup picture is slightly better as you can see more detail on the stamped background.

Card is in the post K-Bo.  I hope you like it?
Hugs, Fae xxx

First Card of 2011

Wahooooo, welcome to 2011 everyone and thanks for stopping by and visiting me. I have just finished my FIRST card of the year. I have a good feeling about this year so let's hope it's a good one for all. I am still full of cold and so is Steve but I've had it for so long now that I am not prepared to let it get me down any longer. So 'ner' cold and flu symptoms, on your bike! Enough is enough.

Here's my card, which I made with my Woodland Friends stamps. First of all I decided which stamps I was going to use and then stamped up the background. I then coloured it with my ProMarkers and then coloured and decoupaged the fox and the badger over the top.

I then mounted it onto bubble, silver mirri card and then mounted some scrap green DP and mounted that onto the same bubble mirri card and then put them all together. The Card Candy was then coloured in with the same colours that I used on the tree and added to the top and the bottom of the card.

The thing I like most about using these stamp sets is that no two scenes look the same, you can just put what you want where you want and create all the different backgrounds and foregrounds you like. Hope YOU like it? It's for my friend Karen's hubby, Terry. He will be FIFTY on the 4th January 2011.

Congratulations Tezza. Hope you have a good one xxx

Lots of love, hugs and kisses

Woodland Friends...finished card

The last card of today is the card I started yesterday with the Woodland Friends clear stamps. I posted a draft coloured in version of something I made up using these stamps and, as promised, here is the finished version. I decoupaged the owl and stuck him in front of the tree. The shadow beneath him is actually from the flash, not something I have coloured.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by and visiting me today.
Night, Night
