Hoppin Happy Slide Back Card

Hoppin Happy Digi stamp from Digital Pencil Too coloured with Promarkers, the thank you was stamped onto one of the Fancy Tags by Spellbinders.
An angled view of the slide back card easy to make - just a 14 x 14 finished card with the top layer scored at the half way mark and folded in a mountain fold then take a separate piece of card 14 x 14 and decorate this as the finished seen bit (in my case the bit with the Mo Manning image on it) then add double sided tap on the back bottom half of this piece and stick it to the bottom section of the card under the scored line, this then slides back to make the card stand up.


Closed view of the card.

Papers used for the card are K&Co - Madeline - 8.5x8.5 Double-Sided Paper Pad then stickles used on them to give a little bling.


Attention to detail...


A silk Autumn leaf, a blossom and a key charm from Quixotic Paperie that was silver until I coloured it with a sakura gold calligrapher pen.

Vintage Christmas, Slide Back Card

A touch of gold, I love this style card,it sits beautifully on the mantle piece ha, ha.
I shadow stamped the tree with caramel ink, simple really, ink once stamp 3 times.
I made up the postcard added it to the base of the card on foam pads, this tops the top from sliding flat as the bottom edge of the card sits behind it. I smudged the address for privacy purposes.
I used the cuttlebug snowflake die and a smaller snowflake punch for the embellishment.


Supplies:-


Stamps- Pretty as a Tree and Winter Post Stampin Up


Papers -Vintage Christmas (Graphic 45)


Card-Old Gold Stardream Ribbon Gold satin from stash


Ink- Caramel and Close to Cocoa Stampin Up

Jack 13 Weeks old

I haven,t made a card today as a little someone needed a bit of attention, I think it is amazing how someone so small and unable to speak can generate so much love.
I just seem to melt.
The softness of his skin the baby smell that only a mother knows the smiles that ease away the daily stress then the calm of sleep.


Priorities

I hope my children look back on today
And see a mother who had time to play!
Children grow up while you’re not looking,
There’ll be years ahead for cleaning and cooking
So quiet now, cobwebs; dust go to sleep
I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep!
