One month ago today there was a new addition to the family! Doesn't time fly!
Thought I'd do a quick post today to share the card we sent to welcome baby Lula :)
Patterned papers from LOTV & NitWit Collections.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu
Time to move on, with an old and a new card for your viewing today!
Let's start at the beginning, (a very good place to start) it may have taken me a month after he moved in, but I eventually sent our new neighbour a new home card! I'm not sure if you can quite see in this picture, if you look closely at the clock face and the tv screen, I have used glossy accents to make them look like glass and shine in the light!
Next up, I was asked to make a leaving card for someone. When I found out that their new job was for an international swimwear brand...I couldn't help myself but to create a "swimming" themed card:
Little Critters - Little Fishes
Well there you have it, I'll apologise now if you now have The Sound of Music stuck in your head as I do...

Time for Tea
Good Morning!
A one card update for you today as I am reaching the end of the photos of cards I've made this year and not already shared on the blog. I need to get cracking and start making some more so I can keep up the regular blog updates!
So this one was made for my Sister's 25th (back in June!)
She is a tea drinker and so I thought this Tea Time image from LOTV was just perfect. I didn't colour this one in this time though, it was from the art pad taster packs that they used to do so they did all the hard work for me!
I combined it with papers from the LOTV & NitWit Collections Bear Necessities paper pad. Adding the Happy Birthday sentiment stamp from the Block Sentiments set and the number 25 from an old Craftwork Cards Die Cut Sentiments set.
That's all for now folks, thanks for stopping by, hope to be back soon!

Beer & Cakes - Time to Celebrate
Hello :)
Today I'm off to celebrate my Niece's 1st birthday! The last year has just FLOWN by! Before I go, as the name of the blog suggests, I have some Beer and Cake cards to share with you :)
I love the bottle shaped cards from Craftwork Cards, I saw them featured on Create & Craft TV AGES ago but never got around to buying any until the recent sale! I can't believe I didn't buy them sooner! I've combined them with their Take it easy collection, and the bottle tops worked much better than I expected - had to take a close up to show you the 3D-ness!
If you look closely you'll just be able to see that the for tops of the outside bottles I've used glossy accents to make it shine and stand out so that it looks like an opened bottle, whereas the middle one, I've layered up some candi then covered in glossy accents to make it look like the top is still on!
Concertina bottle cards - kraft (also available in white at time of writing)
Beer done, now for cake - cupcakes to be precise. I cut these cards out using a cupcake shaped template with the fold at the top so that they can stand up on their own. They are decorated with patterned paper for the bun cases, and candi for the sprinkles on top! I've used sentiments from both Craftwork Cards and LOTV for these cards. Look out for the glitter on the last one ;)
(I used Very Merry Silver, Notting Hill, Westminster, and Covent Garden Candi but you can use any!)
I hope you love these cards as much as I do!
Right time to go, see you again soon!
