Find me on instagram

I've decided to move my cards into instagram as I'm not very good at this blogging! I'll also be sharing any charity shop finds or bargain deals.
If you search for 'cassies cards and finds' then you should find me.

New blog

Incase any of my followers want to follow my new blog its here. I`ll be covering the stresses of moving house, job and counties. Hopefully continuing with craft, getting back to blogging about it. hopefully we may even have some days out that I'll share with you. wish me luck!

Woody to the rescue

I love it when a plan comes together and i'm really happy with how this card turned out. The paper was sent in a craft swap ages ago and i never really had a clue what to do with it. But in a quest to try and challenge myself to use things that don't jump out at me/ have been in the craft room forever i thought i'd have a go with it! I then remembered the toy story stickers dh brought home for me once ( to craft with, not as a weird gift!). it was all coming together nicely. I decided to pick out the brown from woody and used some brown card to back onto. Then i raided my scraps and found a 'faded' brown spotty paper scrap and thought "perfect". I finished it off with a diecut tag with the birthday boys age on it. I attached it to some brown string that came on a top attached to it's tag.

nellie's cake

A quick post before friday arrives! i've not made any cards this week as we have been travelling around the peak district and west yorkshire. So here is another card from the backlog!

It's a daisy and dandelion decoupage image, the papers are from a coordinating pad, i inked around edges with the wooden handle thing that i bought at a craft fair. I finished it off with a daisy and dandelion stamped greeting.

It must be love!

The husband was asked to be best man for his best friend so i wanted to make quite a stylish card for them.

I embossed some glossy white card, layered it onto navy card (the main wedding colour). The image is just as it came, but layered onto  silver glitter card and then navy card again. I finished the card off with navy ribbon and a pearl heart.

Christmas at Easter

Another Christmas card for you here.

The Jokers wild!

The dreaded card for my friend who is an art teacher who hates glitter. I bought some DC toppers from a craft fair a couple of years ago and i'm slowly using them up on him! I 'borrowed' the joker card from my husbands poker cards and layered it behind the image, and inbetween them i had to use some black glitter card. I used some clare curd papers ( that pad will never be used up!) i then finished off the card with some poundland ribbon.

washing day

I started typing that this was a quick card to make, but then remembered the evenings spent making up piles of decoupage! So i picked this topper and decided to stick with green as a the accent colour on the card. I layered the topper onto embossed white card, then relayered onto green and white card. I then found a daisy and green dp, that matched the embossed white card, added a greeting and die cut 2 corners. This is the 1st time i have used corner dies and i rather like them!

I'm disappointed with this card, it looked ok when i made it but now the card blank is too big for the image, but never mind! The image is from LOTV, i embossed a white card square, layered them on pink card, fouind a random dp and backed it onto more pink card. I then finished it off with 3 card candies, brown ribbon and a greeting.

regal christmas

This is quite possibly the worst stamp to get a crisp image from, it looks fab but 5 attempts and it nearly went out the window! I embossed it with glitter embossing powder, layered it on black glitter card. i then layered some white card onto more glitter card, added a purple ribbon and coloured the ribbon on the tree to match. I then stamped a greeting onto the white card.

Flutterby Love

An image free card, but i love it! DH has been asked to be best man at our friends wedding at this is the card we sent to accept the invitation. I had to slightly change the planned card because the larger swirly stamp ripped, but i don't think this card is a 2nd place replacement. i stamped it in blue, as the theme of the wedding is navy blue. I punched out several butterflies in different shades of blue. To make it ultra glam i added 2 gems to every butterfly and the added random blue and clear gems to the swirls.
