I've been neglecting you

cause I've been rather busy with my Stampin' Up! site. I hope you have been popping along to see me there instead :)

I have just 3 spaces left in my club 10, get yourself some hostess benefits for just £15 per month! www.thestickyelf.co.uk

I actually made this card a wee while ago and didn't get round to posting it. The theme over at Simon Says Stamp is anything goes, So here you go!

I've used the lovely teddybella stamp and coloured with my copics. I've added some ribbon from my stash and my fav Memory Box Gossamer papers and the sentiment is a stamp from LOTV.

Don't worry, I wont leave it quite so long next time, but you know you can see me anytime in my wonderful world of Stampin' Up!

I nearly forgot to post this!

I've created a card with this week's Friday Sketchers sketch....

I've coloured Savvyshoppabella with my copics and all of the DP is Memory Box's Gossamer. Still my absolute favourite stack of papers (and I'm not a pink person!) sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.

That's about it really. Short and sweet, just like me ;)

See you tomorrow with my Kraftin Kimmie card (if I get it finished in time...!)

Another day, another card

Well we're up to 4 days in a row. I really am spoiling you! At this rate I wont have any cards left to share, so I better get some more crafting done, but as I don't finish work till 8.30 it does get rather tricky. Never mind, where there's a will there's a way!

So today I have another birthday card. I've used another Bella image Lulu's Cherry Blossom Tree. I've coloured with my copics. I took about 20 photos of this card, but couldn't get the lighting right. I've actually glittered all of the the blossom on the tree. It looks lovely in real life, but I'm afraid you'll just have to trust me on this one! Papers are from the gorgeous Glossomer stack from Memory Box. I don't deny it. I'm totally in love! Sentiment is Craftwork Cards, but you knew that already didn't you...

That pretty much sums it up for me today. Hopefully I'll find some time to stop by some of your blogs tonight. I've had serious withdrawal symptoms over the last few month.

See you soon (maybe even tomorrow!)

Birthday card

Just a quick post today as I'm ready to crash after my first day back at work after the holidays. Work is so rubbish, it gets in the way of quality crafting time. I had stomach ache all day yesterday, just cause I didn't want to go back.

I made this card for my dearest darling pal Nic (same person who should have received yesterday's card).

Today's card features Savvyshopabella from Stamping Bella. I've coloured with copics and mounted on the forever beautiful Gossamer papers from Memory Box. (The lovely Elaine tipped me off that these papers have been discontinued, so I've ordered some more - teehee!) The ribbon is from my stash and rather annoyingly it's freyed as I couldn't find any decent scissors, they have since turned up, which is all good. 

I'm going to love you an leave you. Fingers crossed I'll be back tomorrow with another creation (work permitting)

Happy New Year!!!

I know I said I was back months ago, but hopefully this time it's for real. Things have been somewhat challenging and I'm been finding absolutely no down time, let alone craft time. But it's a new year so that means new me :)

I hope you've all been having a fabulous Christmas and New Year. We've all been full of cold, so not as merry as I would of liked, but it's been nice not to be at work. The upshot is I've made some cards over the last two days wooooooohooooo!!! House is a complete bomb, but that's what tomorrow's for (and tomorrow never comes...)

Today's card uses a fab new image I bought from Lili of the Valley. Their store is closed for the holiday, so I can't check what it's called!  I've coloured with my copics and mounted on some gorgeous dp which is Memory Box's Gossamer (My sister's tooth fairy was called Gossamer, but I digress!) I'm totally in love with this paper as you will see by the number of cards I'm going to post over the next few days featuring it. I may have to buy some more...The lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts, the flowers are prima and the sentiment is craftwork cards.

The theme over at LOTV is new beginnings, as this is a new stamp, I'm going to have a punt. Wish me luck!

Now I have a question for you. What method do you use for sticking lace to your cards? I have so many different glues, but none of them seemed to be the tool for the job. Please leave a comment, letting me know your adhesive of choice - ta

I apologise in advance for the dodgy photos that are going to be appearing over the next few days. I need a daylight lamp!

Enjoy the remains of your holiday.
See you soon (for real this time)
