New cards & candy!!

Hi there,

Have a memory card full of photos that need to be posted - so here is one or two just to get me going.

It was an order for someone who really helped out a community group I'm involved with. I used a paper pack that came on last month's Cardmaking & Papercraft, I think it was Kate Knight paper.


I'm going to try to post regular blog candy links as I come accross them. They are such a lovely idea. A generous crafter puts together some goodies. Then they do a draw with all the name of those that commented on it.

So here is the first blog candy I've linked.




Just follow this link to Jacque's blog, check out her fab cards and leave a comment.

Bye for now

Thank You & Class Cards

These cards were used to show some basic techniques in the beginners card-making class I've been running. The class is small but it is fun.
I then used both cards as thank you cards.



I used this card to show basic matting and layering.



This card was showing a very underused and easy technique - mulberry tissue & topper.

Been a while!!!

Hi Blog,

Remember me! Been a while since I posted never mind show anyone a card or any kind of creation. So here goes - have heaps of cards and stuff to show!

Here are some card orders that I had this month.

This card comes from the Joanna Sheen RHS Collection - I also used Crafters Companin Spray & Shine on the pansy decoupage! Will be using this a lot more. Love the final effect.




A birthday card for my friend Mary - House Mouse decoupage - again I used Spray and Shine!


A confirmation card - order using the Ursus embellishmenst from An Siopa Bui.


A birthday card for a sean-nós dancer!

21st Birthday Cards.

Some 21st Birthday cards:




The image above came from the Joanna Sheen Precious Petal CD as did the backing paper.



The decoupage piece is a Forever Friends from Docrafts and the backing paper is from the V&A linen pack from Papermania. Card is finished of with pearls & gems!

Mother's Day Cards

Here is a selection of Mother's day cards for this year



The topper is one of the new 'Recipie' toppers from Flowersoft with some of the lovely new ultrafine flowersoft on the bear. The backing paper comes from a floral DCWV pad.



This pyramage comes from the Crafters' Companion Flower Fairies CD's with co-ordinating backing paper.



Another Flower soft topper with more ultrafine flowersoft - love this stuff. Again the backing paper comes from a DCWV paper pad.

That's it for now

Engagement, Wedding & Communion Cards

Hi there,

Where is the time going? I'm so distracted lately. Been out socialising - imagine had forgotten what that was like. Going to see Take That this weekend for my sister's hen party and her wedding is on 3rd July. Not to mention all the pre-wedding preparations that have to be done.

Been doing lots of updating on the Siopa Bui website and now have to do some work on the blog for the Great Big Craft Extravaganza that is being held in Athlone in September. So keep an eye out for that.

Not getting much crafting done - but here are some cards from the last few weeks.
