hello,

I have not blogged for a while now as I have recently been through a very stressful time and lost my mojo.

Baby Cards.

Hello,

I have been asked to make some baby cards this week, and this is what I have come up with.

The first one is made as a pop up box card, in shades of pink - it is a girl of course ;-), with a pram, nappy pin, bunting, heart, butterflies, ribbon etc.

The second card is made using an 8x8 base card, again pink, using a washing line held by storks and doves flying round with baby cloths on the washing line with clothes to accent the bottom of the card and a sentiment and ribbon.

very relaxing ;-)

Happy crafting, TTFN.

CRAFT WORKSHOP TOMORROW - WE ARE MAKING HAND MADE CLOCKS.....

Hello again,

I haven't blogged for a few weeks, had loads going on and never enough time to do anything.

So, tomorrow at our craft workshop we will be making hand made clocks, we will be stamping pictures/images on to white card and colouring in, using pro-markers and distress inks, adding die cut images, matt and layering on to miri card then hard card and then adding the clock parts - sounds simple right :-)

Here are a couple of examples:

One is using a photo and a couple of swirls to accent it and the other has all been made by using stamps, inks and die cut shapes, and glitter of course.

I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did,

TTFN, happy crafting.

What do you mean you want to craft!!!!!

Well, I thought I would pop up to my craft room and do some crafting, Mr Darcy thought differently and thought she would sit in the middle of my desk demanding some fuss.....  when given a nudge to move, she simply turned round the other way and sat down again..... what can you do - she is adorable though x

Wedding Acceptance Card..... first one of the year!

Hello again,

Well, Wedding season is fast approaching, so here is my first wedding acceptance card of the season.

I kept this very simple and elegant.  I started with Centura Pearl snow white card stock and matted this with gold mirri card and layered with centura pearl snow white card which I had printed wedding acceptance on.

I die cut a gold filigree heart and two white turtle doves and a white heart and layered them on the top of the card.  I added an insert to the card to finish it off.

Very simple but so stylish and elegant.

I hope the person who asked for this card likes it too.

Quick and simple kids cards

Hello,

I had not made many children's cards for a while (as my own are all grown up) so I thought I would make a batch.

I decided to use Crafter's Companion Rachelle Ann Miller CD, which is beautiful for children's cards.

I kept them simple and used base cards (7x7) and printed inserts from the CD to match.

Using the number dies from Crafter's Companion, I have die cut a selection of numbers in gold, silver, pink, blue so I can personalise the finished card when asked.

I can't decide which is my favourite today - owl, elephant or sheep!

Every girl needs a princess....

Hello all,

I was asked to make a door plaque for a special little princess called Hana who had been ill and needed a cheering up.

I started by using the go kreate large scalloped circle die (approx 8x8 inches) and cut 350 gsm card.  I then created a princess castle back ground with Princess Hana's Room text on it,  from my craft studio "fairytale" CD printed out embellishments from the same disk - a princess, a glass slipper and a princess carriage.

I used an 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 circle die (go kreate) and cut red glitter card then used the 7 1/2
by 7 1/2 scalloped die to cut the background paper.

I took a piece of bright pink ribbon about 1 inch wide and stuck this to the back layer of  my plaque I then stuck the glitter card to this, ensuring the ribbon was firmly attached between the card base and the glitter card, and finally stuck the back ground image on top of the glitter card.

I then cut out the princess, carriage and slipper images and stuck this to the plaque.

I further embellished with butterflies, liquid pearls and gems.

And this is the finished result.
