Hey Chickie!

I have really got into CAS cards this year. I still have a long way to go to achieve the perfect CAS card but I am liking trying different things ;-) For this little card I have used a cute illustrated sentiment by Raindrop Echo Designs and as you can see not an awful lot else! Perfect for a spring/Easter card I think...

Supplies:
Illustrated sentiment - from the Cute & Cuddly Sentiments set by Raindrop Echo Designs coloured with Promarkers
Paper - Nitwitt Collections (I've had this sheet for at least 2 years, finally cut it up!)
Buttons - from a lovely friend, thank you x
Sheer ribbon - Crafty Ribbons
Other - Deckle edge oval Nestabilities die, fancy corner die, brown chalk inkpad

Good morning to you all, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts challenge blog. Our theme this week is Things With Wings. We are sponsored this week by The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.

So onto my DT card, I have used a beautiful floral image from Stitchy Bear Stamps called Lady Bug. I made this card for a lovely friend who had something to celebrate (you know who you are x). I just love the vintage lace, bought it a while ago and had to give myself a stern talking to about buying stash just to look at and quickly cut into it before I was able to pop the whole piece back in my ribbons & lace box to carry on admiring it ;-)

Image - Lady Bug from Stitchy Stamps coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Paper - Garden Party by Dovecraft
Lace - The Ribbon Girl
Flowers & buttons - stash

Craft Pay-It-Forward...

Hello, happy Valentine's Day! I took part in a craft pay-it-forward via Facebook in January and I signed up to make something crafty for 7 people at some point in 2013. I wanted to get cracking with the challenge so I had a think/planned what I wanted to do and purchased a few new goodies - all owl themed and very cute. I decided to make a card and a little treat pack of tea, coffee and chocolate. What do you think...

The cards are more or less the same with slightly different papers and flowers. I found a gorgeous First Edition paper pad called Sweet Owl, think it was released last year but I'd never see it before. Since I bought it I've seen it elsewhere (typical eh?). I paper pieced the owls' tummies...

 This card has an additional embellie of a heart that I didn't add to the others...

 Here are the treat packs. In each is a teabag, coffee sachet and 2 mini chunks of Cadbury's chocolate.

And one on it's own...

Card supplies:
Image - Opal Owl from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Sentiment - Owl Sentiments 2 from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps
Papers - Sweet Owl by First Edition
Ribbon/lace - stash
Flowers - The Ribbon Girl & stash
Other - Circle & scallop circle Nestabilities dies, brown chalk ink pad

Treat pack supplies:
Paper - Nitwitt Collections
Sentiment - Pink Petticoat
Other - Memory Box Precious Heart Box die, Die-namics Mini Wavy Pennants die, DL cello bags, ribbons
