Cards using CCW's July mini kit

Good morning everyone!

I've been missing for a while haven't I?

It's been very busy at home with the children and poor wee Mac (our puppy) has been very unwell

after a visit to the vet but I'll tell you more about it in another post.

I'm still very cross with the vet and don't want to say something I'll regret!

As it's the 20th of the month it's time for the new mini challenge at Creative Craft World.

This time instead of a mini book, I've made some cards.

You can get the mini kit here on CCW's website - it's a bargain at £7.99!

We'd love it if you made a card or project this month and entered it in our challenge here.

For this first card I decided to make it easel style.

There are lots of gorgeous flowers in the kit but I forgot to use them and made my own punched ones.

I found the pack of flowers under my scoring board when I was tidying up afterwards......

I found these Lili of the Valley images in one of my storage baskets and I think they were a free gift from a magazine (must have been ages ago!) and I can't remember which one.

I'm not usually a fan of fairies or angels on cards but I do think she's very pretty and I enjoyed adding glamour dust to her wings ;)

The brown ribbon and white card are from my stash and everything else is found in the kit.

Edited to add: I think I better clarify :)....angel & fairy images are not my favourites on cards...
but.... the tooth fairy is VERY popular and welcome in our house at the minute! 

This next card is made using the card and papers in the kit.

I cut the butterfly with the Cameo and added seed beads to the body with glossy accents.

 I hand cut the banner and stamped the sentiment - I think it was a woodware clear stamp.

...and now for my first Christmas card this year!

It wasn't intentional though....the little image is another freebie and when I had her coloured I thought it looked quite Christmassy so I printed the sentiment on the computer and popped it on foam pads.

To give a little sparkle I added 3 red gems under the sentiment.

The ribbon, card and paper are from the kit.

The little image and sentiments on this next card are from DigiStamp Boutique.

The flowers and leaves are handcut and I rolled the flowers and twisted and tweaked them into shape.

I doodled lines on the leaves with a fineliner pen.

 The image is coloured with Copics.

The cardstock, papers and twine are from the kit.
I'd like to enter it in the Digistamp Boutique monthly challenge.

I really enjoyed making these cards and I'm pleased at how they turned out.

I hope you like them too :)

Please take a minute and pop over to the Creative Craft World blog

 we'd love to see what you make!

I hope to be back blogging properly very soon.

I have lots of projects to share but it's hard getting the time to upload them to the computer!

Thank you so much for your comments even though I haven't had time to reply back

I really do appreciate them :)

Have a lovely day

Hugs, Sarah
