New Project

Good Afternoon and Welcome

My Crafty friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all today - getting ready for the weekend?, I hope it's a good one

and whatever is on your agenda, just remember to enjoy !!

I would like to welcome my new followers and hope you enjoy your visits to my

little blog and I send big hugs to you all.

I have some news to share with you, I have been asked to join another Design Team

and its Creative Craft Cottage - how cool is that? boy I am amazed to think  that

I have not been up and running a year yet and already I am now on 4 Design Teams.

Its so exciting when this happens and I must say it boosts your confidence  no end.

I will be taking up my post with their next challenge which is on the 7th February

but the challenge is already up and running for January, so why not jump on over

to their blog and see what's going on?

Back to today and I thought I would try a new venture - doing a bit of art -

For my first attempt I think I have done Ok- what do you think?

DETAILS

       1. The MDF heart is from the works and at only 99p was a snip.

2. I covered the whole heart with white gesso and once dry I

       took a stencil ( one of Imagination Crafts) and used one of 

the Imagination Crafts Silkies (Red Satin) to create the 

scene.

3. At this stage I must say I just stood there looking at it waiting

for some idea as to what to do next. HA HA I thought I 

wonder is gilding wax would work (Well I did tell you

I have never done anything like this before) so in for a penny

in for a pound out came the wax and I gently rubbed it on.

4. Again the same question and blank look on my face What to do?

then I remembered these sentiments I had purchased from Tonic

so with Shiny red card I die cut out three and adhered then

to the heart.

5. To complete I adhered pearls around the edge, placed a

key embellishment and tiny red silk flowers (from my stash).

And there is my little piece of Art work !!

I do hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will call

again soon.

Until Next  Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Magical Moments

Morning My Crafty  Friend, Followers and Visitors

Have a great weekend but most importantly  Enjoy it.

Quick card today, hope you like

DETAILS

1. Card made into a easel using A4 white card.  Added black card

then using the Dir sire Embossalicious Ornate Butterflies, I 

         embossed a piece of blue satin card and adhered this to the black

card.

2. The image was taken from the CD Wishing on a Star  and I have

mounted it onto a piece of the same blue satin card  and glittered

their wings and the star before putting it onto the card at an angle.

3. The unicorn was die cut from a die from Imagination Crafts 

and I have added a piece of patterned vellum to the back before

mounting this also using  pads to the card.

4. For the base of the easel I have again matted and layered

with black card and the blue satin  card.  Before  adhering

them to the base I have  wound a black ribbon twice around.

5. To keep with the magical theme I have scattered sliver  fairies

 from my stash around the card.

6. The sentiments read Come fly with me (at the top) and

(Believe) at the bottom acting as the stopper, both were

again taken from the cd Wishing on a Star.

Thanks for calling and if you can leave a comment, I would

love it.

As Always

Watch the Birdie

Good Morning crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Welcome to my  new followers and thank you for following me.

Don't panic folks I know you never see a post this early from me but I

thought for once I would post early as I made this card the other day

just been waiting to finish it off.   Bit of a dull day today and was

trying to rain when Oscar and I went out for our morning walk but

I suppose  it bound to come sometime as long as it remembers to

go away again.  Well it's Thursday and Mary will be round soon

for our crafting day so better get on. 

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x8 card and covered it with a backing  paper

from Trimcraft next I took a Satin Card from Imagination Crafts

and using the Viva Universal Mask (Bird on a Twig) I stencilled

using Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Pastes( Silver Moon and

Pink Blush).

2. Once dry I then mounted onto the card and using a Tonic 

Flourish die I cut five flourishes from silver mirri board and pieced

 them together to make the frame.make the frame. 

3. Using a Robert Adams die I cut the sentiment (FOR YOU)

out of silver mirri .

I do hope you have enjoyed your visit.

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Good Evening my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Firstly I would like to thank my followers and to welcome Lindsey a new followers to my blog

and to thank you all for all your support and the comments that you leave, I really do 

 appreciate you taking the time to visit me.

 Well I did tell you that I was going to the Great Northern Festival yesterday,

oh boy was it good. Quite a few of the big name's were there and I did manage to get to

meet some of them and have my picture taken with them.  Yes I hear you asking " Did you

spend much ", the answer is yes don't be daft of course I did, in fact I spent to much

but what the heck isn't that what money is made for?.  Judging by the amount of

people that were there, I would say it was a great success and I hope they will

do it again next year and if any of you live in the North West I would say make

 note for next year to get on over to Bolton.

Today's make is again something new for me, (boy am I being adventurous ) Hope you like.

DETAILS

1. Card is an 81/2 x 6 cream scalloped edged

2. I then used an Imagination Crafts stencil and

the Imagination Crafts Sparkle Medium,( Canadian

Blue and soft Purple) and stencilled  onto acetate.

3. The design was then mounted onto yellow and brown

card, which I had scalloped the edges to match the card.

I then fastened to the card using brads with gold gem

centres.

4. The whole card was finished off by adding a flower from

Sweet Lilac and held in place by a Lilac gem brad from

my stash.

Well that's all for today my friends as as always,

Take Care and Happy Crafting

the first one to be held up North, so should be interesting. I will try not to spent to much HA !

BUY.

 Today's card is something new to me and I must say I rather enjoyed doing it.

I hope you like?

DETAILS.

1. I used an 8 x8 Metallic card to which I added a backing paper
from the free papers in the Tattered Lace Magazine.

2. Two frames were cut from the same metallic card, then
 using the Spellbinder 5 x7 Detailed Scalloped die. I then
joined them together to create the large frame.

3. Using Imagination Crafts Black satin card and one of their
stencils I used the Imagination Crafts Silkies (Apple Lace for
the stems,  Red satin for the poppies and Sunshine Satin and
Lavender Lace for the Dragonflies)

4. Once dry I used foam pads to mount onto the card.

5. To complete I added grey ribbon, and pearls  from my stash.

Until next time.
